Description
Made in Painter 5.5
Done to play around with the "Painted" look. The terrain was done first, only then were the figures added.
HALT! :P
Lest I be accused of an attempt to deceive anyone, let me say up front that I used digital photos (of me :D, and not becauce I had to) for these particular figures. I had the photos on the canvas and painted the figures OVER them on a separate layer.
Not photo manipulation, non of the original photo is there, the lighting and all that is different.. I wasn't wearing those clothes, holding a rifle, or squatting down in the desert of an alien planet or anything ;] Was just used for the poses and proportions. I have no problem with drawing figures, and I normally never 'trace' them like this or even use reference. I just did it in this one pic to test out the method as a quick way to get proper proportions and all that of slightly trickier poses.
Putting this under Science Fiction.. wish could list more categories. maybe Suerrealism /Science Fiction / Nature Landscape / Military / Fantasy.. ;D

Thanks gallimel and Tanialmeida, I appreciate it! :] Also to add to my descript above.. I had (at the time) just finally figured out how to paint on transparent layers. So I was making this piece in large part to test/get used to that feature. The terrain itself is actually 3 separate layers, and almost everything else is an independent layer as well. The sun,clouds,moons,each figure,figure shadows, etc are all separate things, giving me great control and flexibility to 'tweak' the final image. Gotta love the freedom of painting digitaly ;] Thx again -PC
