Ego Eram Reputo Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Yes! You're spot on. I've bought (most of) the printed books too.

NinthDesertDude Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) An adventurer carrying miscellaneous gear explores a cave. Created in 8 hours on 1-16-2018. I created stalactites first to define the perspective, then torch for lighting, marking where light would shine on the floor and ceiling. It could be better for a number of reasons, but it's not terrible. I could be drawing this every time if I could only grasp the unwieldy powers of high contrast as I draw rather than trying to adjust afterwards. These stalactites, since I actually drew them like stalactites, look great under high contrast.

Pixey Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Very nice stalactites they are too .

Light would still shine through the formations, despite being colored with dirt. Off-topic: ...and if you think caves are scary in general, try Timpanogos cave or the Jewel cavern system in South Dakota. So many calcite-aragonite formations. Here's an image of Timpanogos, where a tour guide illuminates the "heart of Timpanogos" with a flashlight. The calcite looks pink-red due to manganese inclusions.

LionsDragon Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Fantastic! I grew up near a place called Cave of the Mounds, and one of the formations there looks like a parrot wearing a newsboy cap. Caves are such wonderful and terrifying places.

NinthDesertDude Posted November 11, 2018 Author Share Posted November 11, 2018 (edited) I've drawn many fireballs, but never kept or uploaded them. This is supposed to be a magical fireball (as indicated by purple/blue hues). Thought it looked cool. Added a quick background and called it a day. Done in 1 hour on 11/10/2018. Inspired by the fireball, I decided to make a lightning ball. Done in 6 hours from 11-10 to 11-11 in 2018.

NinthDesertDude Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 (edited) Island An island I made to see how much detail I can put in something with Brush Factory. Seems decent. 11-11-2018, made in 1 hour. Air Elemental A haphazard attempt at an impressionistic style I don't do. Not great. 11-11-2018, made in 2 hours.

NinthDesertDude Posted December 6, 2018 Author Share Posted December 6, 2018 (edited) Thanks everyone for the positive feedback! I have enough illustrations & sprite art right now. I don't have anything like ice text, chromatic metal textures, or profiled highlights because I haven't gotten on the bevel & bump/alpha mapping train yet. A good, realistic-looking knife might be my next goal. Hey @welshblue, if you could provide a list of maybe 6 or less essential plugins you use, that would help me get started. This is my current level of realism with bevels on the handle and knife edge. Obviously not a photo. Blade texture can be improved.

lynxster4 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 @Joshua Lamusga Great start on the knife! Some strategically placed shadowing would help; a little more 'rounding' on the handle? 1 Quote My Art Gallery | My Shape Packs | ShapeMaker Mini Tut | Air Bubble Stained Glass Chrome Text with Reflections | Porcelain Text w/ Variegated Coloring | Realistic Knit PatternOpalescent Stained Glass | Frosted Snowman Cookie | Leather Texture | Plastic Text | Silk Embroidery Visit my Personal Website "Never, ever lose your sense of humor - you'll live longer" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinthDesertDude Posted August 4, 2019 Author Share Posted August 4, 2019 (edited) A drawing of quartz with goethite inclusions from March 2018, just using my imagination here. I wasn't sure about the matrix for the goethite, so I made some dark, uncertain and metal-heavy matrix. The edges of the quartz may look weird, especially the hanging face at the top-right. The quartz face is supposed to be incompletely grown there. This was an interesting one to do because I had to mimic the index of refraction, which I did at the seams where the faces meet (it's intentional). I think it's interesting anyway. I haven't been active for some time except for a ghostly vote here or there; I was busy on other things. So here's a 5-minute tree from June 2019 in a cartoon style I haven't done yet.

lynxster4 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Nice work on the quartz @Joshua Lamusga. The opacity is just about perfect! Nice job on the quartz 'faces' merging into the point. Your 5-minute tree looks good, too!
