I'm sure the tut would be fine if I could read it clearly... That site you put it on kinda puts things out of order for me. D: Could you do that 'all-in-one-image' thing that most other devart tutorialists do?

I know it's a lot to ask, but I really would like to see this tut whole and unscrambled.

Really nice tuto !
I want to ask you a little question^^
What is the brush did you use for this cg?
In fact I want to have this smooth rendering (for exemple, the character's back or the ground) in my works and I want to know how you did it.

ethe In reply to HappyProds [2008-07-07 05:17:49 +0000 UTC]

No problem ^^
I always use the same set of brushes, you could go to my first tutorial [link] then look for instruction no 3 and 6. I explained how to set the 2 main brushes that I always used.
let me know if you still have any other question

oh wow, you responded to my two word comment, i'm sorry for wasting your time! m(_ _)m

but i do have a question, "how do you color shadows?" is it based on reflective light mixing in with something, or is it based on the pigment of the surface? i'm a bit new to color rendering, and don't have much illustration skills. got any advice?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

ethe In reply to jozisars [2008-07-07 07:03:57 +0000 UTC]

In coloring the shadow; for example in this image, I already put a purple color base on the characters, and then I added the tones and highlight on top of it, example red and yellow, but I didn't put those tones to where the shadow's gonna be (so certain areas just stay purple). Then I picked a darker tones for the shadow from the current color tones (dark red and orange yellow), but I mixed it with the color base that's already there (purple), so the colors tones always have a purple-ish feel. That's how I "unified" my color palette.
