woops

I'm been thinking about waht to do with this, a little stuck for ideas. Kind of forgot about it too, but yeah, hopefully watching a bit of "Hydrophobia" will clear that right up.

haven't drawn anything in ages.

Looks damn fine sir

You coloured this really well, its eye is heaps good. You need to extend the picture downwards and draw the rest of the fishes fin in so none of it is being cut out. The bubbles seem like they've got a bevel filter on them/ not very round.

It's looking extremely good.

Work work work. If I knew how much of a drain on my time...

I've never had practice drawing most of these things.

They pre-emptively plagiarised me.

But seriously, I've never played it.

one thing thats really bothering me is the lighting on the chains... where is the light coming from?... bellow or top right....

It doesn't really matter. The background's basically sketches at this point.

Ashman, that fish is quality beefy, quality. Occluded, the progress on your piece is great, the shadowing i feel is just right, i love it!

More progress.

Should add a big old block of sugar and an olive, octa von teese

What plans do you have for the background?

I'm not really sure. Although I'm considering Tony's idea.

Make him say "my tootpich is too big"

and the olive could say "I am an olive"

Might as well give another update. This is moving at a snail's pace.

Lol.

I think this looks pretty cool, the only thing that doesn't seem to work is the difference between the colouring on the face and the more patterned and flat colouring on the rest of it.

THis is looking heaps good! Extremely well done so far but doesn't look very finished. There's a lot you could add to it. This should be really great when you've worked on it more!! :D :D!! :D:D :)!! :)!!

Perhaps if you make the transition from darker sand to lighter sand a lot more gradual and don't use a particle brush on the wet sand. It looks like like you've used a drop shadow filter and you don't want that. The way you've done the white part on the water has also made it look like the water is in the air because all the white dots are all separated, water usually sticks together so you should try to draw it more as one thing.

This is more like how I'd do it, although this didn't turn out exactly like how it was in my head.

with a busy week behind me, I started my entry just yesterday and could use some help. Look at the screenshots below. The top one was my initial version. It looks like the water is flying above the ground, but I wanted it to look as if the sand close to the water was just wet.

The lower version was my try to fix it. It's still not the way I want it to look, but it's a little better. But therefore it looks like a bigger wave, I wanted it to flow more "flat" onto the beach. (Hope the explanation is understandable, sorry if I mix up some english words)

Any advice how to fix this?

Try having the darkness of the sand not follow the edge of the water exactly;
also: you could just draw the sand without texture, and layer some grain/nois over it, quick way to get better result.
