Description Background WTF??!! Yeah, I like doing backgrounds actually. Should probably do them more often.

Here's my double page spread for my portfolio class. It's designed to be split into 2 pages for my actual portfolio book.

Most of this is watercolor with some colored pencil and digital. And the original painting is HUGE! Ug, never again!

But yeah, I haven't done anyting this ambitious in a while. It's not perfect, but I'm still pretty happy with it.

Yep, but all I have time for these days is client work I can't post for legal reasons or it's just not very interesting.

Yeah, I wish I had a gun like that I could just tuck into my purse. You know, for when the checkout line at the grocery store is too long. ^_^

The backgroung looks very Star Wars.. specifically Death Star. Quite Imperial, the decor. If you ask me.

I love the colouring work though, btw. Looks great.

Hmm, I've seen the foreground girl's pose somewhere before...

Didn't know that was popular enough to be referred to for poses, haha.


Nice pic, tho!

Daaaamn, you found my reference pic!
Haha, I actually based the entire pic off the fact that that pose would work well across a 2-page spread.

A friend pointed your art out to me, haha.

Glad the pose worked, I guess!

I really dig the dynamic poses! *_* The colors are really cool, too, and that cyber gun is made of win.

That is INSANE GIRL!! I love it - you have some nice coloring and shading. And the lighting is a lot of fun!

I find it kind of amazing how you can distort your figures so much and still have them look so believable. It makes for interesting contrast with the smoother lines of the guns and the backgrounds. You're good with backgrounds. I can handle making organic backgrounds like forests and what not, but I lack creativity when it comes to interiors and other geometric things... You don't seem to have that problem. Looks good.

Thanks! Actually I'm pretty bad at organic backgrounds. Trees, grass, rocks...I'm so lost when it comes to that stuff!

Jeez, this is really cool! I love how the flash from the laser lights up the face of the girl in the foreground, also I like how their outfits are sort of a mix between steampunk and something out of star wars Oh, and don't worry about the background, it makes sense if you look at it for a few seconds.

Oriana132 In reply to Runner247 [2010-02-26 19:58:35 +0000 UTC]

Haha thanks! Yeah the outfits - I wanted scifi, but not gunmetal gray, you know? ^_^

No problem I know what you mean though, I used to draw a ton of things in gunmetal gray: cars, trucks, outfits, you name it. The drawings came out well the first few times, then I just got bored with the color. Now I've switched to covering things in rust and/or different kinds of camouflage, that seems to be working out okay

Ooh rust is a neat detail I should look into...

Haha you should, I love the way the texture looks and it can definitely make drawings a tiny bit more interesting to look at
