The guy that does my acrylic laser cutting for me made me a tshirt :P I wouldn't personally make it in white or bung a big logo on it but it was a freebie to test his new machine so I can't complain! The design is one of the
a while back - which got to half a million views today, woohoo!

I've been thinking for a while of creating some 'urban' gamer shirts, seeing as no one else has ever done it and most gamer shirts are geeky. Heres mock up 1. Any thoughts on the idea?

That tshirt really wouldn't look out of place at primark, newlook or george at asda. In a bad way.

I think i'll take that as a compliment. Gamers and geeks moan and moan about what they want and are incredibly fussy. But when they get what they moaned for they don't buy it anyways. Whilst the casual gamers and geeks tend to be a lot less fussy and a bit more impulse buy so hopefully these type of shirts will do well and the new look crowd is who i guess i'd be after.

Some recent crap I won't ever get round to finishing

:o Wonderful work as always, absolutely love it.

I always admire this style of painting, and it's shown a lot in things like Imagine FX, but I just don't know where to start. I know Photoshop well, I use it every day at work, but that's primarily for textures so it's a very different end result.

If it's not too much trouble could you give a bit of a guide as to how you go about something like this. i.e. What brushes you use, what kind of opacity settings you're using (as I'm guessing you get the nice painterly style by building up low opacity strokes). Do you start with solid block colour? etc. etc.

Cheers :P

I'm not a very good source for advice on painting concept art - but I'll explain the process I took.

The only brush I used was a custom elliptical one that I made by fiddling with brush settings. Here are the settings I used:

After that I chose a dark colour and painted a silhouette of my head/shoulders - then turned on lock transparency for the layer so that everything I painted would keep that shape. Then I just blocked in different bits and worked my way up really. I kept the brush at 100% flow and opacity and just pressed down lighter whenever I wanted to paint a lighter stroke I guess! I'm not really well versed in this sort of stuff at all and you would probably find it a lot more resourceful to find some online tutorials instead.

^Its nice to know you're cool handing out your tips too, not everone would do that. Its ridonkulous how good you are, from vector to this. Supreme.

No way man, since I started working it's really put in perspective just how far behind I am with my artistic ability. I work with this guy for example - http://voidart.co.uk - absolutely mental. Don't know where to begin.

Cheers Sam, any help is great :lol:

Only spent about 20mins so far working from the nearest image on my desk but hopefully it's remotely obvious who it is.

Pub now, will keep on with it though. Very different way of working to what I'm used to but it's incredibly relaxing to not be constantly switching tools, blend layers, making normal and AO maps, etc. etc. :P
