imaginefx.com

like the magazine, which you should really check out. Its a life saver.

yeah, anyone can take part. The WIP thread is where to start, challenges generally go from early saturday to midnight thursday. And there's monthly ones too- though the standards there are crazy high most of the time as people have longer to hack away at their pics.

lukeator In reply to charco [2008-09-12 21:58:26 +0000 UTC]

Ah, yeah. I bought a copy of that once. Its really good, but expensive though. I'll have to check out the site. Thanks.

charco In reply to starkelstar [2008-09-12 19:32:24 +0000 UTC]

Coloured lines, and a seperate coloured layer for the ghost set to colour dodge if I remember correctly. Same way I did the ice in the brain picture.

Their forum section has contests going on the whole time. Unofficial ones, usually.

Best looking pirate-octopus holding a haunted book, with a monkey crewmate, I've ever seen

Excellent work

CaptainQuirk [2008-07-08 15:41:02 +0000 UTC]

That, by the way, is awesome. Great stuff with the light and shadows, and all the textures (especially making the ghost look transparent).

charco In reply to CaptainQuirk [2008-07-08 17:02:19 +0000 UTC]

Thanks very much! The ghost was the easiest part actually... just paint it on a different layer. The alien's skin was the trickiest thing, but it was a lot of fun

Really nice piece man, the rim lighting on the monkey - and the other characters is great. The texturing on the octopuss really works well.
