An entry to a competition on Deviantart that I entered- obviously with thispic ^^ This is actually try 3 at it- the pose came after playing with those posy figure thingys... This was like... the only cool pose it could do, but it look more like a surfing pose than a fighting one, so my character Alex didn't get it (sorry babe- I know you wanted it! ^^; ) The water was an absolute PAIN to get right cause I don't normally do it *hates water* But this character is a surfer, and it was more dynamic, so... yeah. Hang 10 and cowabung and all that. Enjoy bishie goodness ^^
*grumbles* Just remembered I have to save this as an ebil jpg file ![[emoticon]](http://www.paperdemon.com/images/forum/mysmilies/15pxyellow_sad.gif)
Oh well, this is a better pic when saved as a pbg file folks!!

 Lady Anime79Total Posts: 2839Jun 24, 2005 9:04 amYou did a great job on the water! It looks so lifelike even though it is not. I can't do water either. I had to have EBS do a watre background for my Mermaid picture because everything I had done came out looking like crap. *frowns* You did a great job bringing 3 dimensions into this picture. I find it so hard to do that. He does look like he will surf right onto my lap. ^_^ Bravo! --- Laughter is the best medicine and your face is curing the world. |

I guess I'm too stuborn to take the easier way out- the more realistic or rendered approach. I'm a Taurian after all ^^![[emoticon]](http://www.paperdemon.com/images/forum/mysmilies/15pxyellow_pdwings.gif)

arkillian (Reply)Total Posts: 2930Jun 24, 2005 9:29 pm*nods* Same user name as here. Give me a tab if you do join ^^ It isn't as flexable as here, but having millions of deviants sure means there is the attention ^^ I'm pretty sure Red is a deviantarter, and so is DBZbabe (does she call herself that here?) --- |

 EvilBunnySlippersTotal Posts: 550Jun 25, 2005 2:28 pmExcelent! The pose is awesome...I love how his hand extends down to the bottom..great perspective. I like how you did the water too. As Lady Anime said, I did a water bg for her. It was my first time doing water and I said "what the hell am I doing" the whole time, ha ha. Good luck with the contest, Great job! --- |

arkillian (Reply)Total Posts: 2930Jul 8, 2005 5:28 amOhhh- water is sooooo not cool to colour X( I think this turned out bearable though. I didn't win, but I think its cause everyone had a preveiw but me. That's cause I use high quality formats like png rather than jpg --- |

 Moileosa KeslienTotal Posts: 9Jun 25, 2005 6:29 pmHis pose is great. I love the way his arms show the relationship of perspective while the rest of his body tends to be on one plane. |

 SaikonoYumeTotal Posts: 316Oct 2, 2005 11:32 amOh, I'm digging the water, though. It turned out quite nice. The white part could be a bit more foamy, but oh well. It'd probably be a pain to do, anyway. --- That which fell from the sky was not rain

arkillian (Reply)Total Posts: 2930Oct 2, 2005 9:52 pmYeah- I'm new with water, so it wasn't that great, but it works ^^ Yeah- the hand was a pain, but it turned out surprisingly well for that angle!! XD Wow!! Watch me fail to do it the second time!!! XD --- |

SaikonoYume (Reply)Total Posts: 316Oct 3, 2005 5:07 amThat always happens to me. Do it once, fail again. The water... hrm... Get a splatter brush and mess with the spacing. That would probably make a nifty spray effect. Then set the spray layer to "dissolve." That might mess it up, though. Dissolve is a tricky thing to work with. --- That which fell from the sky was not rain

arkillian (Reply)Total Posts: 2930Oct 4, 2005 2:54 amTis an idea- I've only rescently started playing with different brushes and am getting really unusual results ^^; Disolve is a little too chaotic for me, but it is also an option ^^ cheers for th tip. --- |

SaikonoYume (Reply)Total Posts: 316Oct 4, 2005 2:36 pmNot a problem! If you want awesome brushes, you can check out http://www.spy-glass.net/brushes/ and the sites linked to. I get all my brushes off the internet because the photoshop brushes are largely unhelpful. --- That which fell from the sky was not rain
