Description

Something slightly different from me than usual. No tits or tentacles here

This painting was made for the current issue of ImagineFX, for the "Henning's 101: Composition" article. It's great fun writing this series of articles, and I also get to brush up my old and rusty theory skills as well.

Lookie: [link]

Painted with Photoshop with a Wacom tablet, as usual. I used some basic torus shapes in 3D Studio Max as guides for the perspective of the circles.

That gets a fave just for the use of tits and tentacles in the same sentence. I love this picture, it reminds me a bit of wipeout!

Being a Wipeout series fan, I'm a sucker for any and all futuristic racing stuff. And this is an awesome futuristic racer image! I wish this was a game, I'd play it!

Thanks, I have always wanted to play wipeout, but never gotten around to try it for some bizarre reason.

shanesemler In reply to henning [2008-04-11 08:46:33 +0000 UTC]

Many Wipeout fans consider Wipeout XL (Wipeout 2097 outside the US) the best. Though I hear Wipeout Pure for the PSP is great. Unfortunately, I don't have a PSP so I can't vouch for that.

Indeedio, along with the golden rules of thirds for placements of vanishing points, circles for creating depth and direction, and placements of elements to sort out the size comparison... and other things
