look at the curls in her hair, and how long it is. You are so detailed and have a piercing eye for this type of art. Sometimes I wonder, what do you feel or what are you thinking each time you start on a new one.

Kry, that is really amazing! ^^ They definitely look real.

How did you get painter to work so nice? I tried a couple pics, and they all looked terrible. >< So I went back to photoshop for now. (though I do only have Painter essentials)

hey, thanks, Angel!

well, there were a lot of trial and error using Painter, but somehow i got it work eventually i'm still trying out different brushes each time.. it really needs patience, i think

I have Essentials right now, but I'm thinking of getting the full version sometime soon.

I love Photoshop, but for some reason I can never get it nice and smooth-looking. (like Heise's pictures, they're awesome) Not sure why I haven't figured anything out yet. Do you usually use the soft airbrush for finishing?

popnicute In reply to unusual-angel [2006-12-17 02:13:40 +0000 UTC]

i actually after rather rough looking finishing at my recent pictures.. gives more personality to them.. but for smooth looking (in Photoshop), i just used soft round brush for everything.. different brush size will help texturing the shapes and hard round brush in low opacity for the edges so it will not all-blurry looking.

i haven't tried the airbrush in Painter tho.. so far i used Tinting Brush and Artist's Oils.

unusual-angel In reply to popnicute [2006-12-17 02:26:51 +0000 UTC]

Makes sense. ^^ I'm working on something new right now, trying to get it looking really good.

Thanks for the help!

thanks for all the compliments *.*

the painting process itself took no longer than 20 hours, but i changed my mind a lot during.. even scrapped the one that i thought would be "the one", colored that a bit too i think it was 3 weeks from the first idea/sketch to the final image which is completely different first they were standing, and then laying down, and then sitting down like now
