[QUOTE=ChestyMcGee;43920891]did anyone else used to absolutely adore feng zhu and now think his stuff is really a bit boring and too... feng zhu? you can spot his work and any work of his students from a mile away and i'm not sure that's a positive thing[/QUOTE]
I think a lot of his stuff is too conceptual to appreciate as plain digital painting art, which is ok I guess because he's not going for art, he's going for design.
What I mean by that is there is ambiguous perspective and objects, if you look at it you feel the concept and you get the atmosphere and themes, but you don't actually always get a concrete scene. I think it's because he takes a lot of shortcuts to portray his ideas, huge amounts of texturing etc. Also he uses the same palettes constantly.
Not a bad thing considering the aim of his work, just observation.
Honestly even in terms of straight up design, I feel like Feng Zhu betrays the purpose/tone of the work sometimes by relying too much on his style.
I know it was meant to be a speed paint but his 'FO4' piece is just flat out NOT Fallout compared to Adam Adamowicz's work.

So after learning that GIMP isn't very ideal for digital painting (yeah, i'm just starting), I tried something else and made my hobbits a shit ton better:

Dont shade with black and highlight with white. Use tints and shades. For sunny light you should probably have cool shadows and warm high lights
It'll help a lot with colours.
Perspective Isn't my strong side, at least it isn't complete disaster.

Well that's precisely the different between the fine art side of things and art for production. One will always have more originality and integrity than the other, but will also take much longer.
This reminds me of some truly horrible Magic cards I've seen for environments which are just really pathetic mashups of photographs sewn badly together, each one in a completely different perspective with random light sources and shit. I guess they get away with it because it's reduced to such a small size, but it's real bullshit considering the general standard of MTG artists.

well shit
You need to think about structure and perspective before you think about making things shiny

Structure as in the forms that make up the object?
Other than that,you're completely right,I need to pay attention more on the perspective of the object when I'm drawing

[QUOTE=krten_2x 4b;43939883]I'm going to be disappointed if it's not called "planet fetus"[/QUOTE]
its called Genesis
The sky is blue today.
It's strange to realize how long it's been
since I've seen earth's natural azure horizon.
To look out beyond the edges of the city and
to realize once again the beauty of the mountains
around me. It's with sadness I acknowledge that
soon the view will be gone, the skies gray, and the
dreams obscured by the pollution of our mere existence.
Why must this layer of gray obscure our night sky, an
orange haze that never relents. From above our valley
appears to be beneath an ocean of some strange toxic gas.
Our children grow up sick breathing this filth, yet we do nothing.
My city once had an electric light rail system, but it was removed.
Now it is a wasteland for anyone not fortunate to have a car or
patience or change for the bus fare. A walk of miles of identical
blocks of property that one must not tread upon. The public
space has been reduced to ones own private property and the
sidewalks, where one walks in fear of the stray absentminded
fool or drunk or accident sending death careening their way.
Our children grow up isolated, because their friends from
school live so far away that they can only really associate
either at school or by being transported to each others
homes. There are no safe havens where a mother would
allow their child to wander. They grow up trapped in our homes,
terrified of the city around us.
Why is it that the public slips so complacently into this state?
Is it the natural order of things, rotten apples and so on?
Is it human nature not to care that the air we and our children breath grows more
toxic every day to allow for a society to exist that won't care at all if they die
later in life? Is it truly living in the American spirit to vie for a world where
one must fight tooth an nail to make ends meet when billions are being spent on
bombs and killing machines? Have we forgotten our way as Americans? Do we not
understand that war in distant lands means rationing at home, and that continuing to
be at war will strangle our country very much in the same way the posturing in the
Cold War strangled the Soviet Union?
The lessons taught by the paths of nations throughout history should not be
forgotten and America is on a self-destructive path towards ever-increasing
partisanship and eventual collapse. There needs to be a movement of transparency and
a major change in foreign policy to where we are not bombing enemies that are
fundamentally incapable of reaching American soil.
The role of the military when speaking of a global superpower is comparable to the
hand of a god influencing the social and political landscape and America has forgotten
the destructive capacity of wielding that power. The way we have wielded our
capabilities in the past has caused the chaos we battle today. The way we handle
the chaos we face today will dictate our relations with nations in that region long into
the future, and alliances form easily over spilled blood and won't always be in our favor.
