LFC4EVER Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 so many look (count over 16600) but few leave comments. lol, but the majority of viewers are members who aren't registered. That hummingbird is amazing. From what i can see, the texturing is really detailed and realistic. Can't wait to see the final product.

oma Posted April 2, 2009 Author Share Posted April 2, 2009 taking my time on this one. I want a real nice image. updated the wip shots on page 35. now my testing and changing back and forth really starts. first test is some shadows in the upper wings. ciao Quote My Deviant Art Gallery Oma's Paint.Net gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaceMan Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 The bunny is freakin' amazing! How in the heck do you guys do this stuff? Gee whiz! Quote I may not be "the best," but I'm PRETTY DARN GOOD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oma Posted April 3, 2009 Author Share Posted April 3, 2009 stick with it and lots of practice. You'll get the hang of it shortly. Personally I read lots of how to draw books .... textures I can pretty well figure out from playing with plugins until I know their capabilities and their limitations. do the tuts with open mind. they are not just there to teach you how to draw x but to impart the techniques you can apply to your own work. bunny fur was a variation of a grass tut not the one ASH did using bars but the one with cut away circles. ciao Quote My Deviant Art Gallery Oma's Paint.Net gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HELEN Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Oma, I thought about it once again. You amaze me and I was just thinking....are you really human? :wink: I can't wait to see your finished image!!!!!!!

oma Posted April 3, 2009 Author Share Posted April 3, 2009 Helen are you telling me "no rush" "just hurry" ? @Welshblue, Janettesue and Goonfella thanks for the encouragement. this one is a bit more difficult for me ...... but then again that's the way I like them. the more challenging the better. I've added some more work in progress shots page 35.... because I know Helen is chomping at the bit. ciao OMA Quote My Deviant Art Gallery Oma's Paint.Net gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HELEN Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Oma, I had to write again. I could have sworn that the hummingbird's feathers just fluttered and it blinked its eye. :wink: Really, really good so far!

oma Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 nearing the final stages on the humming bird. need to work on the fuschia flowers next. that step needs to be completed before the final overall colorization can be done. pg 35 I've added more work shots ciao OMA Quote My Deviant Art Gallery Oma's Paint.Net gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HELEN Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 At first I saw the hummingbird, but then all of a sudden...it disappeared! :wink: Oma, I must say it looks really nice and realistic!

oma Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 yes they do like to dart in and out of view while feeding. need to study some more on drawing the fushia flower to finally finish this one. before I flatten it does anything on that bird look out of place? I've redone the wings 3 times all told and finally feel they are looking decent. I just looked at a big picture book of birds and notice the wings should be semi transparent. you can actually see the flowers behind the bird right thru the wings in these closeup photos. that I can do as I put in the background. any other areas needing a bit of work? ciao OMA Quote My Deviant Art Gallery Oma's Paint.Net gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HELEN Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Oma, I have a fun fact for you about hummingbirds. I read it off a Snapple's bottle cap. "A humminbird's heart beats 1,400 times a minute." Isn't that amazing?!

"A humminbird's heart beats 1,400 times a minute." Isn't that amazing?! Snapple bottles specifically say "Check online to see if this number fact is true!"

oma Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 thanks for the facts Helen although I do not actually think a hummers heart beats quite so fast. I'm not downstairs in my library where my books are but I don't recall reading its that fast. Welsh blue thanks ever so much for the comment. yes I realize the blurs of feathers are cut off by this won't likely matter once the background gets put in. that one I sent you with direct its headed most likely has changed. I've been experimenting with different things haven't settled on just how busy or absolutely plain it should be. Crimson you sly dog you..... I was going to guess it was you but just wasn't too sure... thanks for the comment/hint. you had me going there for awhile. I've had this one on the go and just finished it up this morning while I thought of the appropriate background for the hummer picture. a little break from reality paint.net 17080 Quote My Deviant Art Gallery Oma's Paint.Net gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HELEN Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 It's sooo beautiful!!! :shock: And I checked about the hummer's heartbeat; it can reach as fast as 1,200 times.
