Cheers man! I love the feel of holding a pencil and drawing on paper - digital just doesn't feel the same - I also spend so long painting on the computer that its just nice to take a break from looking at a screen as well.

Fantastic job. I love the slightly lustrous quality that you give the skin on your pinups. It always makes it look touchably perfect.

Thanks my friend! I think the dress was the most fun to paint, though the furniture would have to be a close second.

The work on the dress is amazing, you can really feel the sheerness of the silk. Lovely stuff.

Cheers mate! I painted some silk on another job some time back and it was so much fun, I really happy to try something like that again.

"Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and caldron bubble."

"Double, double toilet trouble"

oh, I feel sorry for you, coffee rules the universe... and teeeaa...
(actually coffee doesn't have much effect on my sleep anymore, but I still love it...)
I take guarana powder when I need to stay awake, but it gets me hysterical after a while, lol

Nice. When you color this in PS do you use a higher resolution?
π: 0 β©: 1
Loopydave In reply to CigsAce [2010-10-29 12:38:30 +0000 UTC]
5500 pixels by around 4400, so yes, at a much higher rez See [link] for details if you like.

That's F'n awesome...how long does it take you to color something like this after the drawing/scanning/line work is finished ? I'm nowhere this good and I take forever to do coloring (mostly because I'm new to the tablet drawing and only 90% proficient in PS).
