Description This is actually the background for a commission, but I liked it so much that I wanted to post it as a stand-alone composition.

20. Adobe PhotoShop 7.0. ~3 hours.

If you're interested in commissioning me, contact me via email or dA.

Hehe... Well, it's basically this image, but with a gryphon perched on the arch looking down.

hoverlight In reply to jocarra [2005-10-01 20:37:46 +0000 UTC]

Sounds gorgeous. Would you mind awfully if I used this background as wallpaper for my computer? I won't if it feels like theft to you, of course!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

jocarra In reply to hoverlight [2005-10-01 21:07:59 +0000 UTC]

*chuckles* I don't care if people use them as wallpapers - IMO that's pretty harmless It's when people start using them in their journals or on their websites and that sort of thing that would make me get upset. So far, it hasn't happened to my knowledge, and the people who have asked to use them as their avatar or something have been pretty nice about it, whether I say yes or no.

Long story short - go ahead

I love the moon.. planet.. marble.. tis a great background..
although.. the twigs are a bit sloppy.. *cowers in corner* dont hurt me..

jocarra In reply to Kass-Craven [2005-09-30 21:07:50 +0000 UTC]

Hahaha, moon-planet-marble. What a brilliant concept!

And yes! The twigs are sloppy! They took me a whole two minutes X3 To be perfectly honest, I think I kind of like them that way *LOL* Maybe I'll make them nicer...

Kass-Craven In reply to jocarra [2005-09-30 21:31:38 +0000 UTC]

2 minutes.. those twigs would have takem me 56 hours.. they are nice and sketchy... i just.. WAAAAA!!

jocarra In reply to Kass-Craven [2005-10-01 03:33:14 +0000 UTC]

Well, that's why they're so messy. It's just sort of me dragging out a wiggly rough line, and then making splotches for leaves. They don't seem to work out as well if you draw them out meticulously

Kass-Craven In reply to jocarra [2005-10-02 13:17:24 +0000 UTC]

ok... i guess if they were too detailed.. it would look sloppy... I see what you mean.. ...
come to think of it.. what will they look like blurred? like the camera focusing out of them?

jocarra In reply to Kass-Craven [2005-10-02 17:55:51 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I was thinking about applying a blur to them... I'm not too sure - I haven't checked yet...

jocarra In reply to cocowash [2005-09-30 20:36:51 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! The only problem with completely finishing one part of an image before another is that you have to now get the rest of the picture to match the style and colour palette already laid down, and you have to make it look just as good X3

cocowash In reply to jocarra [2005-10-02 03:11:03 +0000 UTC]

ugh, I know how that feels, I have one image I abandoned which I loved the background but never seemed to match the character to it -_-;

jocarra In reply to Slayer18 [2005-09-30 20:33:45 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much! Hmm, if you must know, the moon was painted for an earlier endeavour separate from this particular image - it took me about four hours JUST to the do the moon! I worked closely from reference images I found through Google, and spent forever trying to get the textures right - it's all in the textures... Patience (and practice) is the key!
