Description Not done by far, there's still a ton of work to be done on it but I've come to a dead end. I can't decide if I should color this or not. Meh... anyway, this is what I'm working on at the moment ( among other things )

Water color, acrylics

A3

I had an idea more along the lines of a water stream having been depleted or something when I started this one out, hence the gully. But perhaps it was a giant worm that caused it, who knows Thanks btw

Thank you Got to get this finished but I need to finish what I'm working on at the moment before that. It's slightly annoying when other things has to be done first.

Lovely, as always.

Can't believe you did this with acrylics!
I think you shouldn't color it, I think. Personally I like black and white more.. ^^

MiG-05 In reply to Jalii [2010-04-25 11:37:13 +0000 UTC]

I've decided to color it digitally instead and keep the original grayscaled after all. Thanks Jalii

Guess I'll have to make a slight tutorial some day then But it's really not that hard. Photoshop+Wacom+layers+transparency+artistry=artwork. If you know your way around Photoshop pretty good ( which I do; not so much Painter or similar ) and know how to draw and happen to own a Wacom tablet then you're set for success

I've been playing around in photoshop for quite a while.. the coloring is working fine, but the shadowing and lighting is pretty tough. I use the smudge tools for it and the burn and dodge tools..

Holy Shitballs!!!

Riktigt, riktigt bra! Personligen kan jag nog tycka att du ska hålla den i gråskala... men å andra sidan så vore det ju intressant att se den i färg också. Scanna bilden och gör en test med ett color-lager för att se hur det funkar.
Hur som helst, en av dina kanonbilder. Jag diggar hur du ritar dina träd.

Nice Work!

MiG-05 In reply to mawgallery [2010-04-25 09:35:21 +0000 UTC]

Hmm... ja det är ju det som är frågan. Men jag behåller nog originalet i gråskala så om det blir någon färg i bilden så kan jag göra det i Photoshop. Tackar tackar förresten min herre^^

Well, I've given this a lot of thought and I think I'll keep it grayscaled in its original form and maybe color it in Photoshop. Thanks

Heh well no, it isn't finished. There's a few more details that need attention and also a lot more to be added. Light and additional shading and stuff too. Oh and more background^^Thank you btw

spicy-salsa [2010-04-23 17:27:17 +0000 UTC]

Hey you dont know me but i like this piece. i think that since it is done with paint that you should not color it! it is easier i think to control and convey debth via color, but you did such a great job at debth and shading that the color is vividly left to the imagination of the viewer.

MiG-05 In reply to spicy-salsa [2010-04-25 09:54:14 +0000 UTC]

Oh it's just as easy to color it in this state too but the issue here is if I should do it or not but I've come to the conclusion that it'll stay grayscaled in the original form. I'll do a digital coloring later. Thanks for the input

KifGem79 [2010-04-23 11:27:42 +0000 UTC]

I am a sucker for contrast. Maybe only use one color (like green) and just color those things that are that color (green)? I dunno, anything you make is effing awesome as always

MiG-05 In reply to KifGem79 [2010-04-25 10:11:36 +0000 UTC]

I thought about that too but I dunno... It'll stay grayscaled for now and maybe a digital coloring later. Thanks as always Polly

Pythiadelphie [2010-04-23 09:56:47 +0000 UTC]

I like the gnarly trees and the pixie shepherd that's herding the trees as it seems. I like it in grayscale like this, still colour could make it more awsome. As always I am impressed by the gazillion details in th picture. You must be really, really patient.(and this is one of those pictures I'd buy a print of )

Yes, when it comes to my art I'm indeed a patient man. I quickly get more frustrated with people and badly designed crap that people come up with though ( i.e not working to satisfaction ). Thanks mind you

I musta read the Gunslinger half a dozen times or more. Every time a new one would come out I'd reread all the previous ones. And sometimes in those LOOOONG periods in between I'd read them again. Have you been checking out the comics?
