Happy New Year!
May 2006 leave you peacefully, and may 2007 bring you new adventures and bright hopes fullfilled.
I feel bad I didn't get anything up for my favorite holiday, Christmas. My new years resolution will be to actually do something for Christmas next year. Something big and worth while even.
This is a fun little piece, I took an existing image of Castle Grayskull that I painted, maybe I'll show it here someday... And I wanted to see what that creepy ol' castle would look like with a nice coat of snow.
I was inspired largely by a couple of things, my spectrum entry below takes place in the snow, and also, over the last week I was at my parents house in Monroe Utah, where it dumped nigh unto a foot of snow on us all, leaving the landscape in a beautiful, pure blanket of snow. Magical I tell ya... just plain magical.
Enjoy!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
ReplyDeleteExcellent pic Nate... love the rendering simplicity of the snow.
Ya' know, I would absolutely love a short tutorial of how you do something as effortless looking as the snow. Program? What brush? Opacity?
Everytime I attempt anything of the sort, it turns out really muddy and/or choppy. Never clean and smooth and blending.
Painter. Just two brushes, a medium brush as I call it with half resaturation and half bleed. (bleed=blending)
ReplyDeleteAnd a mushy brush, which is little to no resaturation, and bleed is almost all the way up, like %95.
Those are Corel's Painter terms, so that may or may not help you depending whether or not you have painter...
Thanks Bro!
Happy new Year!
ReplyDeleteI hope that you and your family have a great 2007
