Painted this last night. About half way through I got the news that my dog had died [IMG]http://i.somethingawful.com/forumsystem/emoticons/emot-smith.gif[/IMG]
That's horrible dude. But if it's any consolation I'm loving the painting; the sky's so funky.
sorry about your dog, I absolutely love the painting

cleaned up a bit more. now gonna do the background.
I kinda liked the aesthetic the clusterfuck dlc for bf3 had going, but after a terrible attempt at drawing people into it I figured it looked better on its own

If I had a black and white image, is there a way to tell how many pixels are black and how many are white?

I'm pretty sure someone has done a program for that, but I'm more interested in why would you want to know this? :v:

[QUOTE=squids_eye;36497920]Could it be possible that your monitor's colour calibration isn't right? If it is a consistant issue and you can't see what is wrong with it then that might explain it maybe.[/QUOTE]
It's not a calibration issue, I don't think. It's not a technical issue that's preventing me from seeing the issue; it's more that I don't know enough about colour and everything to pick up on the problems when they appear
I'm using a cheapish LCD from about 4 years ago. It's been through hell; cat pissed on the screen, piss leaked down into the buttons at the front, so I washed the entire thing out with spring water (tried to get the purest, most distilled stuff I could) and let it dry out in some rice for a few months. A few smudges here and there but it's not a massive issue. I've got a secondary CRT, but that's a bit too dark
Calibration is a biatch, but I've been working on it. I had a good setup a while back but the system I was using needed to be turned on every time I restarted, so I usually forgot until I was half way through a painting.
I recalibrated today using a more permanent solution. Previously I had matched colours to a macbeth colour chart using the inbuilt RGB settings and QuickGamma but today I tried something different. I set the screen to SRGB and then went into the ATI Catalyst settings and using the QuickGamma calibration images I set the brightness to the correct level. I then used gamma correction in Catalyst to alter the RGB gamma to match the macbeth colour chart.
I mean, it's not perfect (nor is it likely an 'approved' way of doing it) but I have neither a very high quality monitor nor the patience right now to spend hours fine tuning. Maybe later down the road.
Late night scribbling.

Definitely nailed the atmosphere there.
Although I don't think the shadows on the pole should be so dark since there's no direct sunlight.

i really like this a lot more than some of your other pieces. i think this is mainly because there's some kind of struggle that the viewer can be involved in. usually you've got quite interesting landscapes and buildings n stuff but having a person in there makes it all so much more interesting, even for the very simple reason that he provides a sense of scale too
remember that you're a digital artist. it's very good practice for you, and i like that you concentrate on this, that you mainly just paint with the brushes and then call it a day. remember though that you can use all the wizardry of photoshop to your advantage in the final stages of the piece. i find messing with the colour balance a little (often to bring more colour into the shadows and maybe the highlights) is a really handy finishing touch, as is a bit of smart sharpen and maybe some increased saturation on the main area you want to draw your viewer's eyes to
maybe something like this

i went too far with the blue and ruined the gloomy atmosphere a bit but hopefully you can see what i mean
maloofs version looked better
yeh in retrospect this was an awful pic to mess with like that because of the fog n what not
i think it would help a lot of maloof's other work though where the final product is often kinda blurry and desaturated and a little under-contrasted

An ass, because I was asked to draw one randomly in chat.

that type is [B]awful[/B]
so is the "stencil"
[editline]28th June 2012[/editline]
applying threshhold to image =/= stencil
i assumed it was just a rough idea and that he'd work the stencil design a lot, i really hope this is the case
parket, if you just want to make it like that, i really wouldn't
