Shameless art plug

Well, we are allowed to do so here :D

My digital rendition of RoboCop:
http://www.side7.com/image.cgim?image_id=334787&&from_id=334787

Each piece of him was done with first creating a shape of solid colour, then burning and dodging where needed to be, might not be the way most people do things, but it's how I did it!

Regardless of your methodology, it came out looking great. I had to double-check because at first it looked like a photo.

Thanks BK! That was my attempt, as my other pic of Robo and the Terminator had been said, at another forum, that they looked a little blurry, so I did this as a sort of response to that critism. It took a lot of trial and error to get things as I wanted to look, but I was happy with the end result :)

Now it's ED209's turn to get my Photoshop treatment, just wish I hadn't decided on producing a tutorial now... it's taking ages show how everything is done. Anyway, here's a sneak-peek at the progress so far:



I know there's not much to see right now, but at least it shows I have started ;)

Whoa! That's looking slick! Nice metallic texture there. I poked through your gallery there on how you were doing it. Good methods there.

It takes a lot of doing, but I've found it effective and I think I've come along quite well since I first tried this method in 2007. I just wish I had more time during the day to work on ED :(

Yeah, I hear you. I find myself saying similar things about all of my projects. "Not enough hours in the day; too much to do."

Are you doing these in Illustrator (or some other vector graphics program)?

-- BK

Posted: 14 Apr 2013, 01:11 PM

Just plain old Photoshop! I have tried some other programs, but I just keep on coming back to PS!

Posted: 14 Apr 2013, 01:53 PM

Dang! You've really got a knack for it!

-- BK

Posted: 14 Apr 2013, 02:48 PM

Thanks, though I am still learning, the RoboCop image is only the 6th full Vector image I have created.

On that note, my next shameless plugs, neither are Photoshop related, but are snow related.

Couple more plugs, one that I uploaded a long time ago now, though it feels only like yesterday that I was actually doing it. And then one more recent, today actually, a work in progress, so it hasn't got my usual finished luster to it:

Man, these are really, REALLY good. I'm always impressed by your artwork. A+

Posted: 16 Mar 2015, 12:29 AM

Wow! You're work is really nice! =D

Posted: 16 Mar 2015, 09:09 PM

Thanks BK, Nika.

I enjoyed working on Diana, as always, she is my fave animated character of all time afterall, so I always enjoy doing another pic of her, wish there was more time in the day :D

The Castle Grayskull has come on a bit since this posting, the tower has been finished, now just working on the rocks underneath. As mentioned in the description, it's part of a digital recreation of the 80s He-Man and the Masters of the Universe that I am doing, every day takes a step closer to completion, but I put up a preview of the work so far that you might like to see as well: https://youtu.be/cC8xKIxRCiY

Posted: 16 Mar 2015, 10:33 PM

WOAH! That is looking AMAZING!!

Posted: 17 Mar 2015, 08:22 PM

Thanks. It's been my pet project for on-off the last year and a bit, more off than on... other things got in the way, I got bored from time-to-time and just stopped until I ground my way back on to it, so it has taken a little longer than I initially intended, but I like what I have done so far.

Posted: 17 Mar 2015, 09:59 PM

Yeah, I know exactly how those projects go. I have several that are that way for me.

Posted: 31 May 2015, 10:44 AM

Well, it took the longest of time to finish, but it is finished, Castle Greyskull with its jawbridge down:

WOW! That looks just like the old cartoon! I'm thoroughly impressed!
