World's Universal Gallery (Sonic Screwdriver 1/18)

Banner5.jpg

Welcome to my gallery! :D (it's "universal" because the theme of the work isn't constricted to just "the world" :wink: ) I am more "Pure PdN"/Space/Realistic-centric and less Photo manipulating/stock editing/sig making-centric. Open to any tips on improvement :)

Also visit my DeviantArt account here! Filled with unreleased works and WIPs :wink:

The Doctor! Awesome. :-) LOVE Doctor Who.

 

The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world.
Amy: But how did it end up in there?
The Doctor: You know fairy tales. A good wizard tricked it.
River Song: I hate good wizards in fairy tales; they always turn out to be him.

Thanks! :) As you can see, so do I

I just can't seem to figure out why my colorizations seem a bit fake to me though :? (maybe because I'm using the wrong colors as skin tone? Or maybe because I've been staring at them for too long). Maybe it's just me.

Is my topic starred because its got the word "universal" in it? :D or maybe I'm seeing things

Hmm..how are you recoloring?

I think the stars are your imagination...

Yeah, the star is gone now. I thought summin weird was happening there...

anyway, I recolor by basically selecting (using the line/curve tool on a separate layer around the object and filling in the outlines, then using magic wand) and using color tint/color filter. If I have a good quality picture, I could use color filter quite well. But most of the time I have to use color tint because the photo quality is a bit bad (example: http://www.shillpages.com/dw/story/d2/st--2f01.jpg I get some of my screenshots from here, but sometimes I take them myself). Sometimes I get confused between a yellow-ey and orange-ey tint :?

It takes quite a few layers to do

Edit: Which is better to use? Color tint or Color Filter?

Why don't you try a different way:

-New layer

-Paintbrush the new color

-Change blend mode to Multiply (play with the blend modes; another might work, depending on the image)

See if that gives you more realistic results. :-)

Well, I meant for it to be dark. After all, the universe is collapsing :P

Well, let's just say that the piece is the most complex I've made. It was made entirely by accident :)

Of course, I don't remember every single step, but one tip would be that I started with a Mandelbrot Fractal, Radial Blurred it at default, Zoom Blur Deluxed at maximum and high setting, then placed a black layer underneath it.

I then twisted/duplicated the zoomed fractal layer every which way using various blending modes. 8)

Gallery updated with one colorization

Hope that helped Marc :)

It's a tough piece to remake 8) I tried to make a spin-off piece, but it worked out to be something besides "the end of the universe". It's more like "here's what it looks like under the ocean". :P Well...one update, with my newest abstract: "Underwater Peace".

I made two pieces of "Space Collapse"

Check my gallery if you want to see them.

I think you did better than i did :D

The 2 guys (marine and aviation?) are cute, space collapse is really cool while the second try you made (underwater peace) has in my opinion too much white in the centre I would try to give it same transparent texture of the sides (but that is just my opinion)

Ciao and see you soon for your next works :D

@Topezia--Thanx for the feedback :) The white in the center was part of a bit more in the piece which I cut out, but now I posted the whole piece which I now think (imo) looks better.

@mman6460--honestly, I just took a page outta -Expiration-'s book. I figured how -expiration- would start off and put my own spin to it Most of the stuff on them (ranks, tie, coat) was handmade. I'm not too happy with the hats, but I knew I wouldn't be that good going through all the time making the hair. I will tell you this though: the head and body are Shape 3D Renders (with the body being a half sphere map) with the shadows at different settings :wink:

Noooo! My book! You ripped it. :(

Here's another tip: Always keep your lightsource in mind. It'll determine where to place shadows and highlights for creases, seams, and general shading. If you don't have a consistent lightsource, it doesn't look as nice.

P.S. You can just call me (e)Xpired.

Call me expired. Please.

@Xpired--don't worry, I''l put the page back :P

@marc--thanks :) Clouds are easy to come by (using the tut Wither wrote up on airbrush technique), but I try to expand beyond "literal simplicity" (as in going for something that looks good and didn't take 3 minutes to make). Actually, I'm not too happy with the moon, because I think I got the perspective wrong. I think that if I could see stars above, shouldn't the moon be up there as well? :? Ah well.. :|

I'm surprised I have over 300 view in my gallery :o Thanks

I'm the only one updating quite frequently, huh? 8) Don't worry, my two week vacation is now over, so I'll be slowing down.

Presenting: I have a new sig/av combo. I've posted the unused "version 2.5", which I scrapped for my current
