Tiered of people complaning and posting usless threads.... Yah so am I

With that said here is my pic.

This is a design sketch for a chunk of land that stretches out and at the end has a small little shrine. The shrine is a rock with a turtle carved out of some green rock and a sword in it. No No, nobody tries to pull out the sword.


Any one have any good ideas or ways to do cracks in the pathe way? I think mine are allright.

Thanks

Use some more deeper, darker color in your cracks. Maybe have more defined angles for the cracks aswell.

I really like the plant stuff hang'n off the edges. Sweet look'n plant stuff. Coo pic... Thanks for let'n me look.

Speeling is THE most important thing to me, next to art.

I cleverly figured out how to add a 5th line to my signature file by

I don't have any ideas for the stone walkway, but how about changing the angle a little bit, like this? I was trying to make the shrine and the figure a little more prominent in the image, but I see that I might have lost the shape of your path a little bit. This was a quickie, sorry for the scratchy art.

I like that.
About the angle.... This is only to get the design of the ledge down. So I figured more of a top view would work.

When I get the chance I will post the final product. May not be for a while since the project is still in the design stage. Its my senior project in college, in case your wondereing why I am doing this.

I applaud you Blitz.

If you're gonna complain, the least you could do is post something pretty to look at.

Very cool concept, what's it supposed to be? What's going on in the scene? I really like the solidity of the pathway, but I agree with Francis about the perspective.

Anyway, its looking good.

I think you need to highlight the edges of the cracks with a lighter color, and then make the deepest parts of the cracks darker,

but you should know that already.

[Blitz]

Thanks Skeez. You up and coming star you.

Yes the perspective will be changed in the final rendering.

This is a shrine for a tribe of creatures that worship the great tortes as one of there gods. It is for a short children�s book that I am illustrating. It will be about an adventure that two kids from the tribe go on. It is to find the missing sword that is stolen from the shrine.

I hope that helps.

Blitz: very nice. you might want to be a little bit more tender on the green - it looks very toxic right now. Try pulling that HSV-slider (the one with H in front) more to the yellow/red side and take some saturation out - that will give you more natural greens.
Same goes for the soil - try to pull the saturation out a little bit.

As for the view of it - if you just want to get the structure down, the design, then make a line-drawing from an appropriate view, one that shows everything somebody needs to know to describe that ledge.
For mood, I totally prefer Francis' painting, since it's got a better story in it.

All in all pretty cool though!


Francis: you go girl!

I will also add some of the character sketches I have done for the book. That is if know one minds sketches.

They will be added to this thread seeing as they are just some sketches and there is no point in starting a whole new thread for them.

I duno... What do you think?

Hey... I toned down the green and the brown so that it is not as bright.... Better Worse?
Should it be toned down further?
