Description

It's been quite a while since I've uploaded any artwork to renderosity. I used to be an avid and active member, but after some intentionally insulting comments about my artwork, I stoped posting and stayed in the background. Well after much encouragement from supportive members, like TBKoen I'm going to post some of my stuff again. When I get home, I will post all of my vector and illustraor work. For now here is some artwork for my game. Some of you may remember the Axium done by TBKoen, which was for my game. Although it wasnt completed, I got a lot of insight and got a lot done. The Axium is currently still posted in the challenge arena. I only wish I could do true 3D, I plan to learn it soon. In the mean time I use poser and my indepth photoshop skill as a crutch. Here is some art for my game, it is an image i'm working on for the mutant abilities section, this is an illustration for the ability "alter physical structure fire" in which the mutant is able to alter his physical form to become fire, like I said before, i suck at 3d, so it started as a textureless render of massive mike in poser 4 pro. I really like it, now if only I could do 3d...

What do you mean, if you could do 3D. I aspire to do something as well as you have done. Great job.

Thanks guys. Let me explain how I did this, so everyone else can try it. Firstly I did the render in poser of massive mike, without the texture so it looked like clay man. Then I created an overlay layer of gradients and difference clouds, then cleaned it up, giving the illusion of depth and texture, I also used a motion blured duplicate of the layer with a hard feather and then changed to layer mode to hardlight. Then the fire, I tried several filters but they all looked flat or cartoony, then I decided that I needed that gasous look (like a solar flare) and decided to to use smoke. This is the Eyecandy 4000 smoke by the way, I then did several layers of it, masked it out, and changed the color and darkness with variations. Simple!

Dude I dont comment on other members work often, but you hit a note with me. It amazes me how someone can get 25 comments and 25 (10) rankings for pure garbage when true artist are hated on. I dont involve myself with chat rooms and such for this very reason. I dont believe someone should get excellent rankings because they have members that like them personally..If you give me a 10 for my work do it because you think my work is awesome, not because u like me.. and to those artist of whom im talking about look deep enough you'll see that fake rankings does not make a better artist of you..Namgorf, I think this pic is very well done. good luck with the character..im out!
