Phew! This one really beat me up – but thankfully it’s Friday which means I’ve got the whole weekend to produce the images I need. It’s not exactly a vacation, but even if there isn’t much of a difference an extra day to produce an image can mean a world of difference.
In today’s video I talk about how to color and illuminate metal so that it looks like… well… metal. I hope you find it useful.
more warcraft? well I don’t like warcraft, at ALL!
But you make it look good.
salute
Very good job. Love how all the details just come together. Love it (as usual). Hmmm can I just keep you in my pocket and pay you to do commissions for me whenever I want?
@Renee: How much is rent in your pocket? Does it have a good kitchen?
O. this is probably your best piece yet.
i hate that staff but i love the helmet. it looks so… functional
@sal: I don’t think WoW has much concerns regarding the functionality of armor and/or equipment. I mean, some of the stuff I’ve seen looks quite the opposite. The characters in this commission were actually rather conservative there by comparison.
Oh yeah, now that u talk about the helmet I was thinking…how the fuck can a tauren put this helmet on?!With his horn, it should be impossible!
O u better have a good explanation xD (and the fact that ur art is great won’t save u).
@sohma it looks like a giant nut that can slip over the horn, then screw in for a firm fit.
Hay algo que me molesta un poco de la armadura, es que me parece que estuviera hecha de piedra… Aunque mirando algunos modelos de WOW, hay armaduras que asi parecen.
Sin embargo, mirando armaduras de verdad (como esta http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/90/Maximilienne-p1000557.jpg) y comparandolas, se ve que el brillo es diferente, ademas, creo que las fracturas en los bordes le hacen parecer un material de naturaleza distinta al metal, considerando que el metal es más ductil, por lo que se abolla (como aqui se ve http://www.swordsofvalor.com/images/reviews/Gen2Crusader/Armor_Cut_Test_070.jpg) y no se rompe de esa forma, perdiendo pedazos en las esquinas.
Bueno, solo una critica constructiva ^^
Se agradece que hagas el COMMISSIONATHLON, es muy entretenido ver como dibujas, y los dibujos que haces son muy buenos, aparte que uno aprende ciertas cosas interesantes =)
Hi O,
nice work. I like watching your videos a lot. They keep me motivated to train my drawing skills a little
. I hope you find some time to explain and show the photoshop process in detail.
how do I enter the contest?
