Description Commissioned by =Hildi

The girl in the white suit is codenamed Quicksilver and next to her is Colonel Sudds, 2 characters from =Hildi 's comic story.

I have to admit i didn't plan this one out very well and am left with perspective issues, however i enjoyed trying something different.

- Photoshop CS4
- Edited: I've added a smart sharpen suggested by ~Dhex , it makes a world of a difference. My thanks to you!

Wow this is by far your best work I have seen you do. This is such a step up from your previous work I didn't even think it was yours. GOOD job!

In such a small area you've captured the the atmosphere of a cold shattered world very well !Nice work >

Would've liked to see Sudds in a crouching position, looking down at you. Epic anyways.

Great work with the building's texture it looks really great. Your perspective isn't all that off and it really adds something to the image.

I think it it looks really great.

I was wondering, do you think CS4 is worth getting. I already have CS3 and just wanted a second opinion.

This is a great piece, the fact that you're not satisfied says a lot about you... and that is a good thing.

Dhex [2009-09-01 15:11:43 +0000 UTC]

The perspective is cool, and the style of the characters is cute and different.

Though I think it would help out the image a whole lot if you slapped on a Smart Sharpen on it after the resize. Go with an amount around 20-25%, and a radius around 0,7 pixels, this would especially help out with their faces, they're kinda blurry.

I would advise doing this on any artwork done in Photoshop, that program has a tenacity of producing blurry paintings.

Let me know how it works out.

That's what's been bothering me all these years and i always thought sharpen filters would add noise but this works like a miracle. Thanks a lot, i'll be using this all the time from now on!

Dhex In reply to minties [2009-09-02 08:41:28 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, it helped out a whole lot when I found out about it too, since I had always wondered how people managed to get such a crispness in their art.

There are some artists that use those kind of filters on their high resolution paintings as a part of their art, Asuka111 comes to mind, and this is a good example from her: [link] Although her art is one of the few instances where such an amount really works.

You style lends so well to this post-apocalyptic look. Everything looks really good and there's a strong sense of story. Brilliant as always!!!

Aledin [2009-09-01 06:09:01 +0000 UTC]

My favorite part is the right side, the contrast between the light background and the darker foreground. The buildings perspective seems right to me.
Perhaps the characters could have been tweaked more, especially the girl, to fit into that angle. It was a tricky one and you still did a good job with them.
I like it.

I guess I can sort of see how the figures don't work with the rest of the perspective, but I think you have to really be looking for it.

The sheer cold reality of the environment around the characters is really amazing. The steel looks like you could actually get your tongue stuck to it. nice
