Queen Alien

<div class="IPBDescription">New picture i whipped up</div> Been working on this for a couple of hours, its nothing special, based off the Alien action collectors toys. (please dont tell me theres no background and it would look better with one, i can't be screwed making one to be honest, heh)
Used photoshop 8 and my Wacom Graphire3 Tablet (like always, my only 2 tools i use). Bit of paint here, bit of smudging there..the usual.. and i had this. Inspired by the great works of H.R Giger, YOU SHOULD ALL WORSHIP HIS ART!

    So you drew her by looking at the action figure? That's impressive. I have a hard time turning three dimensional stuff (Whether it be a 3d model or a friggn speaker phone in real life) into 2d. I can tell it was easy for you since I actually thought you had taken a picture of the queen, then colored over it. Good work.

    I have two of those alien queens by the way. The bigass one that comes with that lady whose chest has been burst through. Then there's the standard size action figure of the queen.

    Do a predator next!!

    Mind you, i've been using photoshop since version 6, through to 7, then 8 is released. For people new to it - it might seem difficult at first, so i suggest you start with some tutorials to get you going. If you're serious about your art i HIGHLY recommend purchasing a pen tablet (Wacom, my brand of choice <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->) because you have the freedom to draw and colour images as if you were holding a pen, rather than the mouse.
    But thanks everyone =)

    I seriously thought you just took a picture of the action figure and submitted it as your own drawing, that's awesome.

    the main trick, use thin pure white lines
    since theres all this shading and colours, you mainly focus on thiat, but look closley on all the parts that look wet/shiny, it's just white! <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> Makes it look like theres light bouncing off the surface creating a shiny look, but its just the colour white done with a 1 pixel brush, hehe

    smudge tool in photo shop 5 minutes... some more time and i get the whole head smudged.. and add a black background.. used some highlight dodging
  • Visual_MirageVisual_Mirage Join Date: 2003-05-01 Member: 15973Members
    *sigh*, why are you TRYING to wreck me?
    I have the original PSD file of the painting i did, i made mine from scratch with only the paint brush and such and i sent Work in progress images to KylieGirl if you dont believe me. So please stop that.
  • aAA1aAA1 Join Date: 2002-11-19 Member: 9292Members
    Hi there Sheena Yanai.
    This is directed SQUARELY AT YOU.

    I saw the Work in Progress shots of this little artwork by Visual. I know he did NOT use a smudge tool, and it just goes to show you that some people really do set out to ruin everything that other people do.

    What's the problem ? can't accept the fact that he made something that looks as close to the original as that ?

    Head to Deviantart.com and have a look around there, you'll find some people who do photorealistic SKETCHES.
    Instead of wasting half your day searching for a picture to compare an image to, go outside and take a walk. Get away from your computer.

    Or at dont say anything at all...

    sheena im sorry but I seen visual mirage do this pic right from the start when it was in wip and he did not at all just use smudge etc on it he did it from scratch. he may have used the pic as a reference but he did actually draw and put his work and effort into trying to make it look like the pic. which either way is an excellent job..

    do not make accusations without knowing the whole truth ...

    i suggest you edit your posts and remove those pics as you are just causing unecessary accusations and trouble.
