[img]http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs50/f/2009/322/d/e/Balloon_Boy_by_theta_ix.jpg[/img] Speedpaint for CGTalk, 45m Theme was "the mountaintop" but for some reason everyone's favorite boy hero kept bouncing around in my brain. lol.
Badass.
cool! i like the clouds and the mountain!
Cool dude, nice colors! On those clouds you have got those big obvious digital brush circles though, an easy fix to make it a little nicer looking is to go to brush settings and bring the spacing down to 1 percent. Oh and check out this video for how to make a good sketching brush, the video author is Dave Rapoza and he's got a gig doing art for Wizards of the Coast on Magic cards, so you know he's not talking out of his ass.

Nice job.

Wait why is everyone saying that they love him??
He's informative.
And enthusiastic!
:| Did you all not know about brush spacing or something? Next thing I know, I'll find out that you all don't know about brush scattering, texturing, or dual brushing. (Among other simple photoshop basics) But I like the painting, to say the least. Is there any chance I could get a slightly bigger version if there was one originally? I'd like to use it as my desktop background. If you made the painting this small of a size, I can always just create a desktop version myself using my enlargement methods.
Yeah I mean, it wasn't anything new, but hell at least he is being nice and supportive. Nice painting. I honestly love the way the clouds look, it gives it a cartoonish feel to it.
I hope you don't mind, but I finished my enlargening of it and i'm posting it herey. If you want, I can snip it out of my post. Actually, you can do that yourself if you want. :hurr: But seriously, here it is: [media]http://img693.imageshack.us/img693/4200/baloonboy.png[/media] And here's one with a lens flare, just because I vaguely liked how it looked: [media]http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/9131/balloonboylensflare.png[/media] Edit: Hmm, it took me 20 minutes for the entire process of editing, from saving, to uploading, and putting it into a post. I'm getting quicker at this. But I should really just create an action for my method. Hmm. Back to photoshop!

Go draw more tribal tattoos Skwee
Fantastic painting, nice job.
[QUOTE=TH89;18449877]Go draw more tribal tattoos Skwee[/QUOTE] Why do people keep calling them tattoos.. They are on paper, not skin. Or why do people call them "Tribal" even.. They are really just random designs. I myself didn't like the fact that I was calling them tribal, which is why I put the word in quotes. Just wondering but what does your signature on your painting say..?
You guys are too kind. I sent you a PM with my aim screen name TH :).
What is the brush called?
[QUOTE=Skwee;18450106]Just wondering but what does your signature on your painting say..?[/QUOTE] Wilkes, my last name. [QUOTE=RedSponge;18452174]What is the brush called?[/QUOTE] In my picture? That's just a generic round brush in PS. :)
