HELEN Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Geesh. You've got some cool work coming and coming, and every time I look into your gallery you've got something new each time. Great job on the Torchwood!

worldnewser Posted September 15, 2008 Author Share Posted September 15, 2008 Thanks HELEN Yeah, I've been on a bit of a roll these couple of weeks. Ironic, since I never usually think of things However, that's the last of my summer batches I don't know if I'll have time to make more. If I do, they'll probably be a bit lower in quality... Ah well. Maybe I'll come up with something. Soon. Quote deviantART Space and the Relative---Space Art Basics Tut (BETA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worldnewser Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 First day of Fall update! Perhaps the ground texture can be used for something else? :wink: Quote deviantART Space and the Relative---Space Art Basics Tut (BETA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HELEN Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I like the texture. I think you should just keep it as the underwater scene. If you want, maybe add a submarine or something. Also, could you visit my gallery (the link is right under my sig). I finally posted it up!! More coming soon, too.

HELEN Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Very neat! That's how scientists probably make these so-called primitive paintings. lol. Great job!

worldnewser Posted October 9, 2008 Author Share Posted October 9, 2008 @Ash---My view of prehistoric Earth has gone all skewy ---------------- Hey! Someone's etched me on a cave wall! I'm planning a short comic featuring this little guy to discover exactly what went on in prehistoric cave pictures. Maybe. It might be a one-shot comic because I tend to get really busy and then forget completely But I've started something, so at least you'll get that Quote deviantART Space and the Relative---Space Art Basics Tut (BETA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worldnewser Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 A break from realistic pieces, comics and caricatures! It's been a while since I've made an abstract... ..or a wallpaper for that matter :wink: Oh, and I made this on the way to making the wallpaper. An interesting "water ring". It looks cooler when given a little twist <------You really have to click on this to see it properly. dA thumbnails doesn't seem to handle the transparency values of this image to well... Its cool IMO.... ....But I don't know what to do with it.... __________________ In other news, I have a few spacescenes that are being completed at the moment, as well as a neat little nine-panel comic. Stay tuned! And if anyone's interested, I made my first six panel comic (no, not with me in it) and its posted on dA. If you want, hop over for a bit and take a look :wink: Quote deviantART Space and the Relative---Space Art Basics Tut (BETA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HELEN Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Wow. Those are really nice. The ring looks like the one they use in circuses. Awesome pics!

worldnewser Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 @HELEN---Thanks! I never thought of the ring that way ________________________ You know, I've really wanted to post some C&C on some work that goes on around the forum, but I haven't had much time lately. That's why my responses to comments here are rather delayed, so I apologize. I really appreciate the comments though ________________________ Anyway, update! Foreign Planet landscape!

LFC4EVER Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I'm not liking the river. It looks like you just applied dents to some colours and called it done (maybe a bit of displacement?). You can do much better. Blend the river with the texture of the ground more too. Right now, its more like ground|river|ground. Maybe add a transparency gradient? Or a gradient mask with added displacement? The nebulae thing in background is a bit :? to me. It looks like its just been slapped on. Now, the far planet in the background is nicely done. I really like the texture on it, it looks really real. Great job on that! How do you make textures like that? I'm always having problems trying to make a worth planet texture, and i'd love to know how you made the one in your current piece. P.S. Sorry if i sounded a little harsh, but no pain, no gain. hehe Quote ☆★☆★Merry Christmas★☆★☆ .::.My Gallery.::.Make Gold Text!.::. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipp92 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 love the abstract one ! It's really great Quote Personal Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worldnewser Posted October 27, 2008 Author Share Posted October 27, 2008 Yeah... I'm a slow responder to things, sorry :oops: @LFC4EVER---Thanks for the constructive criticism. It's always good to get that once in a while :wink: Anyways, I did think that the river was sorta meh... However, I wanted to cover up the ground between the two "mountain ranges". I dunno, I just thought that the little piece of ground looked kinda weird (read post below). I guess slapping on that river made it look worse Perhaps if I find more time, I'll work on a better looking river Also, I was never too good with nebulas. You're right in saying that it looks "slapped on"; I was trying to spice up the dull "black+noise" starfield I had. I guess I should try looking at some photo references next time. @Pipp92---Thanks ___________________________ Update time! I have one abstract here: Also, after LFC4EVER's advice, I tried to see what it would look like if I removed the river. I don't know whether it's better or not. Also, disregard the crappy sunrise/gradient thing. I just didn't want to post the ground by itself in the darkness. Yes, I know the gradient is off :wink: Besides, I'm not planning on using this background. I'm planning on doing a piece with a bunch of surrounding planets. What do you guys think? Should I try it, or should I move on? Comments and criticism welcome Quote deviantART Space and the Relative---Space Art Basics Tut (BETA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HELEN Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Go right ahead and move on. I think you've got a brilliant idea!

LFC4EVER Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 The lighter part of the texture of the planet is good. I'm liking it. Where it ends, its not good. Its like its going from 3D into 2D. Maybe curve it like a planet at the end? Also, the lighting changes to dark too suddenly. It should fade out more. Maybe a transparency gradient or something should do it. Looking good though. Don't scrap it. Ever. Quote ☆★☆★Merry Christmas★☆★☆ .::.My Gallery.::.Make Gold Text!.::. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transparency gradient for the change in lighting... thanks Oh, and I just remembered that I didn't answer your question about the planet in the previous piece. I made it by putting a spin on the "C4D-like renders using S3D" mini-tut Ash showed in his gallery a while back. I took a blank canvas image, made some clumps by using S3D Box mode on some random rotation settings, repeated it a few times, duplicated the layer, rotated the duplicated layer a bit, then made a new layer and started the whole thing again. After doing this for a while, I merged all layers down and used S3D, except this time in sphere mode with all lighting options turned off. I know it seems kinda confusing.... In summary it was really trial and error with the positioning of the clumps, then using S3D sphere mode on it...

worldnewser Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 To celebrate Halloween, i decided to go a bit different from the norm and try a photo-manipulation! What did I learn? I learned that I suck hard at photo-manipulations! However, I wanted to put something up, so I'll just put it up for you to see. yes, I realize that it's bad, but I find the theme I thought of interesting... I call it "Haunted Skyscraper", mostly because it sorta looks like its blurring in some places (kinda going for a Supernatural effect. When I say Supernatural, I mean like the TV series) and that it's vanishing into the fog. If anyone's interested, here's the original: I had to make it go from day to night Used curves+ to get the shading on the buildings as correct as possible Invisible cookie goes to whoever can figure out which building this is :wink: Happy Halloween!

worldnewser Posted November 15, 2008 Author Share Posted November 15, 2008 Wow it's been two weeks :shock: I haven't had a lot of time/ideas lately. Hmm... it seems like every winter I run out of ideas (I remember saying about a year ago that I was unable to make anything because I had no ideas). I guess why I seem to be making more abstracts. Anyway, I was testing some methods and I finally got what I wanted... a crumpled paper/foil texture Perhaps I'll think of something to do with it when I have time...

HELEN Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 :shock: How'd you do that? That is really neat. You can use crumpled paper for some kind of mystery. Maybe have some writing on the paper. I can't wait to see what you do with it!

worldnewser Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 Oh wow. I haven't updated in nearly two weeks :shock: @HELEN--Sorry it took me such a long time to reply. The paper was really straightforward. I discovered the method using GIMP, and tweaked the steps to fit Paint.NET's capabilities. Actually, I'm planning to write a mini tut in my gallery about how to make crumpled paper. Stay tuned! ----------------------- Anyways, after reading a thread on the PdN forums requesting glass tuts, I got into the mood to try out glass stuff. I never really did get a good idea as to how to make picture perfect glass.... ___________________ Actually, I have a backlog of stuff waiting to be released. I just haven't found much time to upload them. Don't worry, I'm still alive. Also, to everyone out there, I wish you guys a Happy Thanksgiving Quote deviantART Space and the Relative---Space Art Basics Tut (BETA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
