Pixey Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Hmm ......... yes, I can see a face, but I can see other images too - like the statue of Liberty having a 'wobbly' . Great colors!

AndrewDavid Posted April 22, 2017 Author Share Posted April 22, 2017 (edited) I never did see the statue of liberty. But yes @hippiechos It was meant to use as many colors as I could. Thank you for visiting @lynxster4 You all have better eyes than I do. Here's something new I just threw together with the new filters from PS. Many more to come I'm sure.

Woodsy Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 AndrewDavid, I see you found the Flaming Pear plugins. They do a lot of the work and they look good but I prefer to do the work myself. Your rendition is nice though, great colors. Quote My PDN Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewDavid Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) I know I'm missing something to make it more realistic. Could it be proper use of shading? Any help would be appreciated.

Beta0 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 @AndrewDavid You're welcome. I see you're getting into space-related art. Your planet's outcome is amazing. The glow around it reminds of an aurora borealis. X] As for your starship...I can't see it. I even went to the host, and it doesn't show. Quote A Gallery Where to find me :D (Please, be careful.

Beta0 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) Yep! I can see it. X] I like the galaxy and the effect created with lights and shadows. And I love the grainy texture it has. I searched and seen a few spaceships. Yours has a shape that reminds me of a whale. In fiction, some alien spaceships can have shapes that looks less like a machine and more like a living being. Here's another example, but with a lean, futuristic design. When creating spaceships, people take something called artistic license. Maybe, you could play with that. As for the shading, make the upper part of the ship darker (almost black) because it's space. You can use the galaxy as your light source. The contrast of the light would depend on what finish would you like: glossy metal, matte metal or textured metal. Finally, you could add some small, dim lights coming from windows and/or 'flash-lights'. This might serve as an idea. I hope it helps. Edited May 2, 2017 by Beta0 Forgot 1 word...

Pixey Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 So sorry - I missed the Planet you posted on the 22nd April - it's very, very good and so realistic . The star ship is quite mesmerizing and the colors are perfect .

AndrewDavid Posted May 3, 2017 Author Share Posted May 3, 2017 Thank you @Beta, @Seerose and @Pixey for your comments. I'm going back to the basics - black and white - shading only. The enterprise is a good shape to practice with. Nice to see you're up and running again @Pixey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beta0 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 @AndrewDavid You're welcome. Black and white shading is a good way to start. By enterprise, did you mean the ship from Star Trek?
