Is she leaning on something else, besides that speaker thing whose name I don't know in English?
'Cause it would be a pretty awkward pose, even for an alien chick. Everything else rocks!

Awesome lighting and pose, ElMagico!!

It takes some time, but looks good. And have some pic as reference for it as well, so you can see where the highlights are and such.

The highlights ar basicaly just blurred lines, should be easy to fix up :D
I'll updated it again in a bit.

What would you guys suggest?

Lookin pretty sweet, Backround items that get progresively darker would be good, Castle sounds like a good idea.

Oops, yeah, I see it now! Once one knows this info everything is clear, the damaged letter A and all. It's a bit hard to get it at first though. Or maybe it's just me.

Changed the grill, given her a face, and realised that her legs were really long, so shortened them :)

This looks good. I just hope it gets a lot of polish and doesn't just get rushed near the end.

Here's my WIP. I still have to add in a bunch of stuff (shadows on the ground, dead bodies and such) but I think it's coming along nicely.

It's still got a LOT of work and changes left to make upon it, but I'm tired.

Should I get rid of the black lines? They seem kind of distracting...

If you are going for realism I would get rid of the lines....There are no lines in reality...Her left arm is really weird looking kinda awkward


Like me on the FaceBook :D

DAMN! lots of really great stuff going on!!!

It's supposed to look like the dragon is coming to life out of the kimono fabric ...or something like that.

What size do you guys work at? Are your files like 599 x 700px at 72dpi? or do you have them larger to get the detail? 'cuz on mine, her face is all smooth and 'young' looking until I zoom out... then she looks like some crazy deformed old hag. boo.

It's nice, but about as far from realism as any of these have been so far.

Response to Heavy Metal discussion thread 2008-02-18 05:19:58


I realize everyone else was shooting for hyperreal but I decided that I suck at that and I went for a less painterly approach... Is that a bad thing? I suppose I could go bad and paint it in photoshop but idk.
