Going to finish my film at some point, not this year though.

[minkee]

this thread is the best.

here is ariadne and the minotaur:

Lovely Minkee, that reminds me of a job I was going for earlier this year to illustrate a kids book of Arthurian legends, but I never got the job

And from me, poster for Salford Uni, it's big...

[divine visitor]

Nice! Do you have like a library of common assets like trees and cars built up from previous projects that you use to quickly create your environments, or do you do everything from scratch each time?

[Melon_Bread]

I'd be mad to do it all from scratch, so yeah a library, although if it was a real library it would be one hell of a messy one. With that poster they wanted specific buildings so they had to be done from scratch.

[FargalEX]

Wonderfulllll work both of you, Minkee - is that for a job? And Melon Bread, do you ever sneak little pixel versions of yourself or people you know into your scenes?

heh, I did my wedding invite in pixelart and sometimes the little pixel versions of me and the mrs getting married sneaks it's way into some of my illos.

[cleandemon]

That's bloody bloody amazing.

Although I'm not sure about the blue seats at OT.

[johnj]

How long does it take you to put something like that together? Tis fantastic.

[Victoria]

Haha, if only Salford Uni was that clean and nice looking.

Brilliant pixel art though.

[Melon_Bread]

That's bloody bloody amazing.

heh, or the fact that theres no crowd.

It was orginally OT but that made me take the UTD off the front and add the blue seats

How long does it take you to put something like that together? Tis fantastic.

Think this was done over the course of a month on and off with other jobs slotted in.

[Gunstar]

Whoa, awesome pieces, minkee and Melon Bread!!

[mercenarri]

This is the best thread on rllmuk. Best breakfast ever.

[matt0]

Done for another ImagineFX forum weekly challenge.

Came last.

[Made of Ghosts]

Nice. I'd almost prefer it without the chameleon though.

[roskelld]

Melon you've made Salford look all pleasant and attractive. That's an impressive feat!

[matt0]

Been reading lots of Hellboy over the past week so...

[divine visitor]

Nice work matt0, I like the little details like the grassy shadow and hint of sunlight on the arch. You could maybe even subtly apply that orangy back-lighting to the reptile and statue head in the foreground

This thread genuinely makes me feel inferior as a human being.

As a layman, I'd be seriously interested in a thread where a couple of the regular contributors talked through their processes in making a 'piece'. Like, from a blank canvas, going through in the stages where it takes a form, then finishing it off, then deciding to close the book on it.

Thanks, I need to go back and fix the trees on the right at some point so I'll give it a shot...

It might not be the most interesting sample, but I did a little step by step on that peacock I made, here: http://minkee.co.uk/2009/10/20/process-shop-peacock/

[minkee]

also: yes, add in some more strong orange highlights and that will be aweeeesome, matt0

ALSO ALSO: I meant to mention this last week, but I think I forgot - if anyone is interested I'm giving away a handful of free prints via pikaland. if you want a shot you just have to add a comment here: http://pikaland.com/2009/11/24/giveaway-27...es-gocco-prints

OR you could just BUY ONE. ;P

[edit: i thought i should make that a bit more attention grabbing]

[Loik V credern]

[matt0]

I'm liking the second and third from last there.

...

Version 2:

[divine visitor]

Yeah, that looks perfect

Messin about with Pshop brushes:

[Tofu]

Its been ages but something I'm working on this week, so not finished really.

[FargalEX]

YES!

[lordcookie]

Fantastic! It's been too long since you've posted any new work in this thread, Tofu.

[Orchid]

HE'S BAAAAAAAAACK!

[Tofu]

Cheers guys, it has been ages but just been busy with mom's illness and trying to improve my skills since the level here is absolute top notch.
