textures and brush work for the rest ..

Pretty good, there are quicker ways to get the same effect though, and realism is a little lacking... looks too Computer Generated.

I used "liquify" to make the opening ..

Quicker ways?

You could manipulate an existing image

Oh... .. yeah true.. I've done a bit of that before too ... creating is more fun to me though usually, and I learn more.. but yeah... manipulating can be fun

manipulating leaves you with a more realistic end product if you are good at it too.

I wanted this to have a Disney Movie type look... realism was not my aim on this one... but yeah... I know what you're saying

Hey pretty good! Some of the lighting needs work, and maybe add depth. It would look great, if more spooky

Ok... maybe I'll try making and adding some spider webs in the doorway or somewhere ... I've been working on creating spiderwebs ...

I also need to try and draw an open door I think.. .. I tried but it didn't come out to well so I scrapped it.. lol.. I'll try again though..

Yeah, I have visions of Mickey Mouse in that big castle in fantasia, watching that when I was like 10... ahhh those were the days :wink:

Those torches are supposed to be sculls but, they look more like deranged chimps or something...

MadHatter · 03-31-2004, 02:53 PM

lol, yeah... i never noticed that earlier
haha!

I like the image overall lighting seems to be pretty realistic, but the only thing I don't get is that the shadows should be under the skulls right. not sure if I am right here but I think you need a shadow line going down to make the lighting a bit better very hard to explain what I mean I think so I did a quicky of what I ment. terrible in every aspect but it gets my meaning across.

They're not shadows... they're areas of carbon build up ... (hence the name of the piece .. :wink: )

I must admit that, you do have me thinking about shadows now, though..

hmmm.... I wonder if I should try incorporating some ...

Something doesn't seem right w/the color of the spiderweb I made ... any suggestions anyone?

Atom · 04-01-2004, 02:49 AM

Still doesn't look right ... hmm

Atom · 04-01-2004, 03:50 AM

hmm ..
