Not exactly our favourite app, but i started this one out a few hours ago and just wanted to post some screenshots of the progress. And if anyone get some ideas out of this, the better. One of those extremely rare moments where i actually draw something... :)

Rochr, this is exceptional drawing/sketching! Are you planning another Bryce Masterpiece? Will C4D play a part as well, or will you go for the pure thing?

RodsArt posted Wed, 23 March 2005 at 3:18 PM

PhotoShop?....Exceptional work Rudy. I know, I know, You really miss home. ;)

Thanx guys. :) Im not sure yet if im going for pure PS, use it as a backdrop in a render or something else. Not even sure about that sky. Itll probably look slightly more dramatic. Heres a little update. Still a long way to go. :)

Texture, texture, we want texture! Or not. Hmm. You could do a layer multiply blend with the third pic on the last image. And do a more cartoonish sky with storm clouds blended in. (Did Zhann had ones or it was britmccarry with her cloud pack?) And then a spaceship or something on the right hand side of the image. I love the third from the top most, with its comic book look. I just wish I had Sketch and Toon to create more of that kind of images. Hm. I do have something similar. We'll see. :-)

A couple of sentences with each picture would be nice, just to get an idea how things progressed, sort of like a little tutorial. Very Nice work indeed.

Thanks Rudy, I find this very inspiring! I've never done such a thing in PS, but you have made me want to try it. Beautiful design work by the way!

MoonGoat posted Wed, 23 March 2005 at 6:31 PM

That's sheer awesome! Beautiful style!

Erlik posted Wed, 23 March 2005 at 6:53 PM

I took the liberty of trying to enhance that comic book style in Photoshop... Of course, your finished image will certainly look better. :-)

I like it. :) The water is a nice touch and a different approach then i had in mind. Heres my final update for today. Think i have the lighting pretty much set, so it only needs some final touch-ups, citylights and props. Then it should be completed. Ill see if i can finish this one up until tomorrow.

Hang on a minute! You mean you scratch around with pen & paper for 5 minutes, drop it into Bryce? throw in a sky and then render a masterpiece that's better than anything I could come up with in a million years......??? That's it! You're definately OFF my Christmas card list! I gotta get more time for this......can't wait to see the end product.

This is awesome!!!Im, like everyone else, am hanging out for more and can't wait to see the final product. Top art Rudy.

Excellent work, Rudy, I think it would be rather difficult to model, but you could try 3D version too, looks like you are having lot of fun with photoshop, cheers !!! :D

Reminds me of how I have to work on my photoshop skills for things like that.

Ok, the final update. Some touch-ups, lightwork and sunrays. I actually found an old wip render, that will make a perfect foreground for this one. Looks like it wont be finished today after all. :)

Very nice, I was wondering why you did't bumped up on contrast and saturation, now I know why, this is gonna be background for something else :) Keep us posted, sir, looking forward to see more !!! :D

Very nice, I have saved a copy of this as is.

This is brilliant work! Any interest of giving us a tutorial by any chance? :-)

Rochr posted Fri, 25 March 2005 at 1:26 PM

I would, but ill probably have to pull out at least a couple of these to qualify for it. Right now im just painting here and there and hope for the best. :)

Impressive use of Wacom with Photoshop. Have you ever used Deeppaint 3d?

Rochr posted Fri, 25 March 2005 at 7:07 PM

Thanx. :) Ive actually tried it long ago, before i started working with 3D, but never managed to make anything decent with it. Its a pretty cool tool though.
