Photoshop and Painter


I had photoreferences for the hands, own photos


I've been working on this on and off for a while due to end of year exams :( but they're over now! yay! I survived my first year at Cambridge ]]> Thu, 14 Jun 2007 01:03:21 +0000 http://acidlullaby.cgsociety.org/gallery/445666

The water lily is my favourite flower, it grows freely in the city of Hangzhou where I used to live.

Photoshop Elements
Approx 4 hours
This is an experiment to see if I can recreate the style of the Taiwanese artists such as Chen Shu Fen.
I didn't paint the cloth textures O_o I'm too lazy for that. Credit goes to : ~ALP-Stock.deviantart.com
The painting on the fan is by chinese artist Zhou Xian.

What a delightfully unimaginative title, I thought it sounded more appropriate than "The Wood of the Oversized Squirrels" though.

I had great help from =Elandria's stock photo for the girl and the rest is history.

I can't paint leaves, so this will have to do until I get better at it.

Photoshop Elements, about 4 days work. ]]> Wed, 03 Jan 2007 00:27:58 +0000 http://acidlullaby.cgsociety.org/gallery/386180

This started LAST YEAR when I said I'd do a painting for a kiriban on DA... well, it sat forgotten in my PC till now. I'll need to adjust some elements later, but it's kinda late at the moment so I'll do that tomorrow. First time painting cloth without a direct photoreference, just a bunch of satin on the floor ^^ And yeah, the lace is screwed up, I know. :(

Spider on the shoulder was referenced from a google search image.

Cookies to anyone who can correctly guess where the title is from.

Oh, and I can't paint hands, help!!]]> Thu, 27 Jul 2006 00:16:50 +0000 http://acidlullaby.cgsociety.org/gallery/454087

Japanese singer/actress ^_^ Painter Classic, reference is one of her album covers.]]> Sun, 21 Jan 2007 16:25:58 +0000 http://acidlullaby.cgsociety.org/gallery/445663

Super rusty after one term in university with no time to paint.

Reference used for the hand, and yes, it could be a lot better... and less saturated.

The title is indeed an Opeth track for you metalheads out there.
Photoshop Elements, about...8hours?]]> Sat, 30 Dec 2006 03:18:18 +0000 http://acidlullaby.cgsociety.org/gallery/454230

Murder Music was so much fun to paint so I did this one in a very similar style/technique... might make a tutorial if anyone is interested, but there's really not a lot to it.

Oh, before anyone asks, I happened upon some Victoria Francis drawings just as I was about to start doing my chemistry homework and now... 2 hours later, I have this picture and lots of imcompleted chemistry work. Blah... yeah so that's the story, I'm not really a depressed artist.

Title is a Porcupine Tree song for those of you who might be wondering. ]]> Mon, 22 Jan 2007 00:37:11 +0000 http://acidlullaby.cgsociety.org/gallery/445139

Quick painting, to relieve the pain of not painting for too long.]]> Sun, 26 Nov 2006 19:34:42 +0000 http://acidlullaby.cgsociety.org/gallery/387341

When I was trying to think up a name for this piece King Diamond's "To the Morgue" popped into my head. Fittingly, the album that song comes from is called "The Spider's Lullaby" and the girl in the picture looks like me, kinda, and I'm "acid lullaby" so I thought it was extremely fitting ^_^, what a good day for naming art.

Anyway, this is a piece of speed painting gone astray, done freehand entirely in Painter Classic with a Wacom Intuos 2 tablet. Essentially to practice light.

About 6 or 7 hours with the program crashing on me every now and then.

Used photos of myself as reference (for some reason taking photos of oneself at 3am always seem like a good idea), had about 6 different photos to help with lighting and the hand...

Gotta say I'm really pleased with how the hand turned out ^_^, it was sort of a fluke.

And Linda Bergkvist's hair painting tutorial really works!

I'm being quite productive this week... ^^

One of those things that's been sitting on the harddrive for a while, will finish it off in the near future.]]> Thu, 22 Jun 2006 15:49:07 +0000 http://acidlullaby.cgsociety.org/gallery/280554

First post here for me, wow, so scary, I've been lurking for about... 4 months but you guys are all so talented so I haven't really had the nerve to post since now. Meep, so this is a girl I know from Livejournal; the reason I wanted to paint her was simply because she's awesome, agree? Used a photo from her modelling portfolio as reference. Wacom Intuos 2.

Still one of my favourites, December 2003...? Thanks to Josefin over at DA for letting use her photo as reference.]]> Thu, 22 Jun 2006 15:55:06 +0000
