First submission to this place - had to try it out after a friend told me about it. :}
Anyway, this is my character Kachiwi riding on the back of a legendary bird named Ga'hamet.
A lighting study in Painter, done with the help from several kind people over at Livejournal. It only took between 5-7 hours total, and it is quite messy close up.
Painter with some Photoshop and a Wacom tablet.

 Runic TunicTotal Posts: 60Aug 29, 2007 9:45 amA very dramatic piece! Your colour palette is very unifying but at the same time I'd like to see a few accents of diffrent colours to really make it pop (maybe some reds and greens), and to make it more dramatic you could darken the shadows even more, since right now the lighting is pretty diffused. --- Sorrow is lightened by being brought out openly. -The Saga of Sigurd the Crusader

 -Pink-Chibi-Hana-Total Posts: 45Sep 2, 2007 7:45 pmI like the degree and texture of the wings, also how you colored it lighter on the edges for it to seem as the sun was trying to shine through them, a very pretty combination of colors, and shades, I give you chocolate chip cookies for your hard work. |
