InteractiveBuddy Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 This is my first realistic image so i want some good advice and criticism. thanks. It's supposed to be a jail cell. (if you didn't know). also, id like to know how to add a shadow to the floor to make it look more like a floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olav.k.m Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 That's very good for a first realistic picture InteractiveBuddy To make the floor more realistic I would start with going Layers > Rotate/Zoom... and use the Roll/Rotate function to create some perspective. Click image to see bigger version If you want the bars to cast shadows you can make some black lines on a new layer where the bars are. Then blur them and use rotate/zoom Here's a quick example. click it to see it bigger Keep on working with it Edit: Oma both those dragonpics are amazing :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Possum Roadkill Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 @ Bjanri Very pretty. Try the Metallize plugin on the gold outlines and it would make it more realistic looking. @ Oma, Wow, beautiful dragon. Simply amazing. Makes my Puff the Magic Dragon look not so magic. @ Interactive Buddy, Great idea! I have had a prison cell on my to do list for a long time but there is one idea that I want to ad to it that I just haven't figured out just yet. Great job. I think with the changes to the perspective on the floor and additional shadowing it will be a top notch work. This is something I finished about a week ago. I had to let it set for a long time to get the idea completed in my mind. Something Welsh Blue did gave me the inspiration to get back to work on it and I finished it in no time. This is....

HELEN Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 @Possum: I wanted to compliment again on your work. I love the rocks, bamboo, the frog, and everything else. Very beautiful!

Possum Roadkill Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Thanks ! He was really fun to make. I have so much bamboo left over I'm sure there will be a new bamboo piece someday.

Zieon Eslador Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I like the style of your work, Possum, I can see exactly how you make certain objects and it starts me thinking on how I can use the same techniques in my own art.

Fallschirmjäger Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Possum, that is really trippy. Here's a small banner I worked on to promote my website. I wanted to get the most realistic look I could....I found a few good techniques for replicating the look of wool. The only thing I didn't make is the jump badge.

Heat Stroke Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 That is really good Fallschirmjäger, everything is so reallistic. i am sorry, but the wood is my least favorite part of the picture though. just some constructive criticism.

Fallschirmjäger Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 That is really good Fallschirmjäger, everything is so reallistic. i am sorry, but the wood is my least favorite part of the picture though. just some constructive criticism. Hi Heat Stroke, The background on the image isn't meant to be wood (Although now that Ii think about it, it does have a slight resemblance if you're not keen in the field of German Paratrooper uniforms). It's meant to be a camouflaged paratrooper smock. Here's the piece I made for a back background (resized) Considering most of it would be hidden, I didn't bother detailing it too much. Here's one of the links I used as a reference for the smock: http://www.germanmilitaria.com/Luftwaff ... 28161.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heat Stroke Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 wow, sorry about that, i guess i should know what i am looking at before i open my mouth. in that light, yeah, it looks great! i guess i should tell you what my favorite part is. i really like the gold piece, it is very reallistic.

Don't worry. I know not everybody here is as interested in Fallschirmjäger uniforms as I am. i guess i should tell you what my favorite part is. i really like the gold piece, it is very reallistic. Thanks. Somebody emailed me the badge, but it needed a lot of work before it looked like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Possum Roadkill Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I like the style of your work, Possum, I can see exactly how you make certain objects and it starts me thinking on how I can use the same techniques in my own art. Thank you. I have a pretty simple style so it's easy to see how I do much of my work. I learned from Ash that many times doing things the old fashion way, and not expecting everything to come from a plugin (I often did in the past), results in a better image and a deeper knowledge of PdN. It has made a big difference to me. Quote  My Gallery SAC, WOTW and Photo Manip Competition Host To visit the Comps click HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topezia Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I am still wondering why you did not like these images I made a while ago: Now, Am I so arrogant to think at least one of them deserved a place in the Galleria? :oops: So long, Ciao, ciao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theonlychad Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 topezia your last image is quite large i suggest resizing it. And you art is good but most of it could use some work. The background in the fifth image detracts from the foreground of the image. Keep at up the good work and maybe one day you will get a piece in the galleria.

HELEN Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I missed you, topezia! And I was actually looking for images you made in the galleria (not too long ago) and to my surprise, there were none. I know I nominated a few.

Possum Roadkill Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 @ Topezia The mirror/chrome sphere is awesome but I particularly like the ink pen. The oranges and apples are also very realistic looking. Very nice job, very impressive. I've not seen you on here in a while and it's good to see you back. @ georgian, Wow, nice shotgun. I think it would look better with shot coming out of the barrel instead of a single projectile. You could make little chrome spheres to look like .00 buckshot. @ Goonie, Awesome radio man! We had one very much like that when I was a kid. Yeah, I'm that old. I'm vintage too.

olav.k.m Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Cool radio Goonie I think the background and colors really works well with the vintage feel. Big version of my attempt to make a (weird) steampunk-like signature for the SOTW Had to re-size it (obviously) so thought I'd post the original version too Clickable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
