HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

Started it today, been keeping a steady work pace of about 2 hours. I actually have motivation, and i don't want it to die, so please give me some comments and suggestions on the preview. (Note: the preview i am about to show you is about 10% of the actual size of the canvas.)

Wow that's a good Earth(s).

The right planet, on the top left of it, it looks good, it has the depth and all, but the rest looks too flat. I like how on the top left the white stuff(snow/clouds?) have the depth, I think it should be like that all around.

Noice.

Looks great.

I'm loving it. Can't wait to see the finished version.

Have to say it man i'm really disliking those planets they need to be totally re done

those are the wors pieces of crap i have ever seen.

























jk...that looks so great...and did you say canvas.....does that meen acrilics?

No, the canvas is how big the image is.

Right now his is 910x598. He said it was 10x smaller so it's actual size is about 9100x5980. (That is one big canvas.)

wow.
di you make thos planets or are they just 2 pics put together.

if you made them. your awsome. if you didnt well *cough,cough(pansy*

if you realy made them and you know a good tut for doing that could you please put the site in this topic

-miroku-

i don't follow tuts, i make my artwork like a true artist.

Can i suggest cutting the true art down for a bit?
I have seen any improvement from you...ever.

No offense but i don't think your going anywhere without looking at TuTs.

I don't like this scene.

Your spacescenes that is.

To be honest, I don't like it at all. The textures look very bad.

I decided earlier not to post because you said this was a small part of a big scene, but I most certainly hope you were being sarcastic when you said "true art". To be honest, our software and sometimes hardware does a good deal of the work for us. All a good digital artist can do is eliminate the percentage of software he uses. But even then, the software plays a much larger roll than someone who uses only hand tools such as brushes. Take old record art. Awesome details and sometimes look better then some of our best computer art, and done with hand tools at that. True art and Digital art rarely go hand in hand.

not in that kind of way, shout. i meant as in i do all my work by knowledge of what does what, not what tuts can take me to. i have followed my great share of tuts and written up a few, but most of my artwork comes from pure curiosity as to what does what in certain programs.

Yes, but you said you don't follow tutorials.

i don't follow tuts, i make my artwork like a true artist.

See?

Even I check out tutorials every so often. It helps me learn from different, and most of the time more experienced artists and gives me more diversity in my own art. Following a tutorial or 2 doesn't make you any less of an artist.

qft. I don't think that following tutorials is a bad thing, it's just when people are afraid to actually learn techniques from them and instead just follow the tutorials word for word that I see the problem.

Exactly.

well, it doesn't really matter what i said, even though i did say it, which is contradictory, i know, but it doesn't really matter to me. i don't follow tutorials for space art because all the ones out there are horrible, or just horribly made. that to me, speaks something ethical: you must learn your own style instead of taking after others by following tutorials, but in the same way, you can develop your own style through tutorials by using certain techniques and mixing them with other techniques. my style is mixtures, because i haven't gotten a base style yet, but im working on it, and when this project is done, it'll blow the crap out of your ass like a bomb (not literally, but metaphorically...)
