How do you layer textures on to your characters?

Pauldew In reply to Sagakarikikkaru [2013-06-26 16:31:33 +0000 UTC]

There's only one texture in this image, in the background. The rest is painted in by hand; starting with a layer for dark shadows and new layers for lighter colors. I used a very soft brush on this image; I'm trying to step away from that though to get some crisper shadows and highlights. Hope that answers your question

It does indeed only the mesh texture is very accurate with the contour of her body I had assumed that you used a texture overlay.

Pauldew In reply to Sagakarikikkaru [2013-06-27 12:01:04 +0000 UTC]

Oh, I see. The mesh was already part of the original pencils and then expertly inked by Nicki. Can't claim any credit for that myself.

Ah, I see, still your technique is very well founded. Hat's off sir.

Sweet, love the colours.

Any chance you'd be interested in doing a collaboration one day?

I'd be honored if you'd consider it

Pauldew In reply to MightyMilly [2012-11-07 10:00:41 +0000 UTC]

Thank you.
I'm flattered that you would ask for a collaboration. I've still got a ton of learning to do where coloring is concerned though. For that purpose, I prefer to stick to lines of professional quality, like Debalfo's. Lines like those really help me get to grips with my coloring.

I would be honored if you and the others who helped you make this depiction of Lara Croft would allow me to feature this in my new Lara tribute video. If you all agree, I will put all your names, screen or real, in the credits and have a link to each of your respective pages in the video description.

Thanks for your interest
I do not own the line art to this piece and cannot speak for Mike Debalfo or Niki Andrews on rights to use this or not. If you obtain their permission, I'd be happy for you to use it in your tribute video, with the understanding that it will never be used for comercial purposes.

Thet look like DD's to me but then again, I suppose on Lara, the boobs could always be bigger
