Bubblegum, cookies and rum...

Dragon in a tree now has background!





So comments and opinions are more then welcomed since I really need to practice backgrounds >_> This one is still slightly half-assed but hey, it's a start, right?

Oooh, neat. The whole piece has a much more sinister feel, with the darkness of the background and the fog. I like it lots. ^^

Sinister huh? I can work with that ^___^

It's amazing the difference a background can make isn't it?

But where's all the rum?

I like the layering you've done. Very pretty. Though I just wonder how you would make a misty foreground to match the very pretty, misty background.

That would be the big magic trick...pulling off the full fog and misty effect >_> Wish me luck.

()and the rum is buried in a few suits of armor back in this guy's cave ^___^ Second suit on the left has the best stuff))

...Half-assed...?

I opened this link, look at picture, and Elmina, sitting behind mem goes "...Is that... really just CG?" because the background looked so... photographic. A closer look shows that it is indeed CG, but damn, shut up about half-assed. *stares*

Then Elmina just gave me the nicest compliment ever ^____^

....

But it's still not as good as it could have been....

*runs away*

But it does look like a photo! Need to take another look before you realize it's CG...

*tackleglomp!* ^^

I guess because I spent so many hours on the damn thing I can't look at it properly. All I see is 'mistake there' or 'that shouldn't be there it should be there', etc.....

Nice! If you keep it really flat, it'll have a woodblock print-type look.

Not sure exactly what's going to happen with this pic, but we shall see where it goes ^___^

That's a really neat background. Did you do that on Photoshop from scratch? I want to learn how to do that one day. D:

[identity profile] luco-millian.livejournal.com 2006-06-22 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Actually this picture is being transfered back and forth between photoshop and Open Canvas (Open Canvas lets you save the picture as a PSD so easy transfer ^___^)

And well, I could probably make a tutorial one day >_>

WOW! I don't know about half-assed - it looks wonderful to me! Very foggy misty mysterious forest, or maybe a swampish forest. It's great!

Will go with misty mysterious, since swamp is for the mermaid >_>
