S3V3N 1402 Posted August 1, 2012 (edited) I sat down again and painted another. Used some photo refs where necessary.Can the admin up the "alotted disk space for attachments"? I can't upload any more pics, because I've reached my limit.There are a few things I want to fix, not sure when I have time. I always want to make the next painting ^^ (btw - the car is a Shelby Mustang gt 500)Edit - re-uploaded after slight edit Edited August 2, 2012 by S3V3N 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nyla 27 Posted August 2, 2012 I don't know if you would consider this fan art but I make Scrabble pendant necklaces and I made some DayZ related ones using the "Keep Calm" theme. I wouldn't recommend putting them on a key ring and sorry about the photo quality. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(So it would only show on the window/glas parts). The layer mode was multiply, which shows only the black parts and no white. I mirrored it to make it look like it's been applied from the outside. Then I used the Warp transformation to adjust it to the fisheye look of the camera. When you paint something that has a far away silhouette or several layers of depth, make sure your colors in the foreground have the most saturation. Also layers that are the same distance from the camera/eye should have the same saturation (not necessarily the same color). It's all a bit tricky at the start, but you made a good effort there. Looking into color theory can't hurt. Edited August 2, 2012 by S3V3N 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

S3V3N 1402 Posted August 2, 2012 (edited) I actually made a render of a 3d model of the car. It's a so-called HDRI-Render, which uses the image of the environment (called "old industrial hall") for lighting and reflection on the model. I also placed some spotlights in the scene and applied a fisheye lense to the 3d camera. So that gave me some basic light and shadow and reflection information.I then made a render and took the picture to photoshop, where I added the other parts from bits and piecesI found on the net (e.g. - just googled AK 74 for the weapon, and some photo reference for the guy). Then I painted in shadows and made his skin look broken, and I painted in parts of the hoody and the beard. I also added design and logo to the car, which was plain green in the render.Then I only had to mask out the windows and floor and add some texture. Finally, I added the "Dayz" logo as was decribed above. the entire process of creating this image took roughly 3 hours. It may seem a lot, but considering it is quite detailed and still has a painted quality to it, it's an okay time. The cool thing is, I can now create tons of new art, using the same setup, exchanging backgrounds and car models. I just don't model that many cars, so if any of you have more 3D models, I'd be happy to use them, too.I plan to use the Mustang for a more detailed and in-motion image, but I have to wreck it a little more first, which means remodeling. I also have a Citroen HY I modeled, which I might use in one of the next paintings. However, none of those are really Dayz vehicles. I do like modeling and rendering, but I love painting and painting over for quick results, design ideas and generally just creating key image content.Color theory is a good and interesting topic to start. I remember I watched some Gnomon DVDs initially that drew me to the matter. This isn't the one I bought, but it is probably even better than what I watched:http://www.thegnomon...Light-and-ColorHere's the one I have (older)http://www.thegnomon...or#.UBrJgrQ0OkcCheers mate, thanks for the kind words.

S3V3N 1402 Posted August 2, 2012 Just use a image host, and include pictures through that. That dosent weigh on the forum qoutaYes, but it also doesn't show as a thumbnail. Plus, why have an image viewer on this forum, if you can only upload 2 pics? At least for people that are regulars here or have creatted an account more than a month ago, they could open some more space. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

S3V3N 1402 Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) Why wont it just show the effin picture in the forum?!It said my "quota is full" when I used the advanced editor. Since you also uploaded 2 images, I guess it's the same for you. It sucks we can upload only two images, especially since every one you upload is really amazing. I loved the first one with the dude inside the coin laundry, eating. Loved the second one and third one too. I would really like to paint with that grime and grit too, but I'm not sure how you and some other people achieve this painted look. Must be some kind of texture involved, right?Keep it up, love to see more. I've been writing three pages of dialog today for a cartoon series I wanna start. If you're interested chat me up, maybe I can do the writing and you the painting. Think you'll do a better job, overall.

S3V3N 1402 Posted August 6, 2012 I made a sketch today, while relaxing after dinner. Thought about what might be a safe® place to be in the Dayz universe. An island in a swamp wouldn't be too bad. Infected would get stopped and swallowed by the swamp. When you need to cross you could shoot a rope over with an arrow. Perspective is a bit wonky, but I made this up, as I was going along. Sometimes the story comes with the sketch, not before it.https://dl.dropbox.com/u/10191409/2012_08_06_swamp_refugee.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
