I'm probably missing some shadows in there.. I'll figure it out eventually.

Thanks! and yeah I'll link it to a High Res.

Well... the picture is going it two different directions at this point... don't know what to stick with.
I'm also failing at lighting on both of them. I'm trying to make it look like the light is coming in through the posts I don't know wtf I'm doing -_-;

Lighting tips/crits welcome

One is like morning time or sunset whatever:

The other one is night:

yeah I'll stick with the day
I may have added too much shadow on the face.. no reference >.>;

Perhaps add some texture or skin lines or wrinkles, looks too airbrushed.

I'll have to try out a few things, i haven't textured much of anything.
And the lines... hide my crappy mouse painting >.>... when you take them off it's all squiggly like watercolor.

Thanks for the Crits!

Yeah and thanks :D

how do you blend the colors like that?

Gaussian blur and smudge tool in and out of selected areas with magic wand tool.

Thanks man. I'm on MSN quite often I can share things I know.

This is the end result of the pic. Tired of working on it.. tired of posting the same stuff. Went with the day time thing, and yes that's default Photoshop grass I got lazy.

plus my original grass was looking pretty shitty >.>;

Threw some textures in there, which is kind of new to me actually...
I know roots are generally lighter but it wasn't looking right to me.

moar bigger version

Comments / Criticism welcome.

Quick little something I drew earlier today and decided to color.

Thanks!

The only criticism I can offer up is that the picture has delved so much into realism that the line work actually hurts it.

Yeah.. I need to get into the groove of ditching the lines.. those are MSPaint lines too XD

Obviously you have no trouble drawing the females, but can you draw males as well too?

I'd day so, when motivated >.>;

I've gotten my feet wet with a few things people have requested from me but I still have a ways to go if I am to be serious about it. Between the hyper Anime some of those people do on Deviant Art and the realism art on Concept Art I have quite a ways to go. It keeps me grounded and knowing where I'm at in relation.

This is the result of a collaboration between wiid and myself, He did the lines, I did the color and touched on the face.

Comments / Critique welcome

non caps
and, incase you didn't know, that was a compliment.

RAGGLE WTF? -_-; .... fucking dude.. I keep telling you about posting caps... 2nd time you've failed.
Can't help it? then don't post in here.
Don't post shit at all in here if you are going to post a shit load of caps, it's frustrating for me to read regardless of the content. Maybe a few to get my attention towards something specific but It's not that hard to do dude. thx. ^_^;

Also, congratulations on being the motivation for number 25 AND 26 on my What not to do list..

but I was going to say was...uh,

oh yeah >.>;

Epic win? hardly.. honestly, if there was an edit post button I'd remove a bunch of junk in here I posted. I'm only satisfied with a handful of it =/

But yeah I try to acquire a variety skills/styles.

Glad you mentioned it. I'd been meaning to fix this, I forgot about it.

I decided to redo it. I made new line art and paid more attention to anatomy details than I usually do.. Tried to get the nose right.. I don't want to make too many hards lines overall though..

Any critiques welcome thx.
