 Tools used: GIMP V2 with tablet. Orig res: 1280x1024 Colors: 24bit Layers: 8 A little something i was working on over the weekend, intended to boost the 'atmospheric art' resources for my eternally "on the cards" RPG. She will eventually have clothes but i thought i'd show it as WIP. I tried to stick with the techniques i used years ago in DP2 (using mosly 'hard' brushes and smudges for detail) Its the first time i have tried to draw a body so i hope i have got it right. -Unfortunately my judgement is fried from being zoomed in to it for too long :D. Pre critique versions: with lightning: http://www.d-grafix.com/temp/druidess.png? Last edited 2012 |

| Looks a bit "Edward Munsch". The lightning looks rubbish though. Spoils it. |
| ||
| More like this maybe? (lightning layer removed) Edward Munsch Lol, i cant decide weather thats good or bad, i do like Munsch but wasn't quite the effect i was going for :D |
| ||
| Hey really good. To be very picky, I would say the bottom of the face (the cheeks) needs a little reshaping. It's a bit too triangular at the moment. |
| ||
| Better without lightning, too melodramatic. I didn't know you were an artist Dan. Critique: I love your sky and hills, the grass and foggy foreground are also great. The rocks are ok but I just can't think of any rocks that look like that, maybe they're too brown. The woman is good but she needs some knees and her face could do with a reshaping. |

| More like this maybe? (lightning layer removed) Yeah, better! I would say the bottom of the face (the cheeks) needs a little reshaping. It's a bit too triangular at the moment. I disagree. That's what gives it its uniqueness. |

| thats pretty good, if that was in a game I was playing it would make it look professional |
| ||
| Thanks, yes i agree shee kneeds nees :) I wanted to give her a kind of 'arcane' look, almost 'elf-like' which is the reason for the slim cheeks. The rocks are a bit red i think now, i may make them more greyish. I was trying to aim for a cartoon version of the types of stone used in obelisks across europe. Here is an example of the ones in Carnac:   I may make some of them more squarish and less turd shaped though :D |

| I like it although I have no idea how people paint fog and other misty cloud like effects in 2d. |
| ||
| Nice picture, although my girlfriend called me pervert when she saw me open the post. |
| ||
| @matty, just use the air or paintbrush with soft edges and a low opacity and wave it back and forth (use a selection mask if it needs to go 'behind' something :) @andy: Busted! LOL :D |
| ||
| BOOBIES!!! |

| > Nice picture, although my girlfriend called me pervert when she saw me open the post. Lol, blame Dan. :) |

| just by putting "nudity" in your title you must get 200% more views. |
| ||
| Hi D4NM4N. I am suspecting that you like Gimp much more than Photoshop? ;) |
| ||
| Great pic (the knee issue accepted). Bags of atmosphere. Well done. |
| ||
| I am suspecting that you like Gimp much more than Photoshop? ;) Its not so much a matter of preference, its a matter of how much i want to pay and tools i actually use. If photoshop was available for linux i -might- buy it, but i cant really see myself being any 'better/worse' with it. :) just by putting "nudity" in your title you must get 200% more views. ;D lol, its a case of dammed if you do and dammed if you dont. @big10p, thanks, im gonna revisit the knees when i get 5 minutes peace. |

| If you put some clothes on her she wouldn't need nees. :) |
