Creative Work That Doesn't Deserve A Thread - Detlef's Detlef edition - General

afraid so....

Working on the main character for an untitled project, currently designing his headphones. The headphones are attached to the hood so by rotating them he can move his hood as he pleases. This is necessary as this character is deaf via torture (basically has modified suction cups placed on his ears hooked up to a vacuum, it tears them off). So the headphones are both used for hiding and protecting the now open ear cavities. Here is the first design, will be posting more. (Note the face and hood are merely a dummy to display the headphones, they will be entirely different for the character) [img]http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn229/1chains1/Untitled-1-8-1.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE=Detlef;29345313]thanks bro :3 [editline]22nd April 2011[/editline] wait why would you send me the psd file[/QUOTE] By the weekend I will no longer be working on it, so there is no point for me to keep the original. With the .psd you can do with it as you please and access any resolution or layer (such as the moped layer to destroy it).

Is it supposed to be stylized?

i chuckled looks like it should be in a pixar film

[QUOTE=Detlef;29346992]Is it supposed to be stylized?[/QUOTE] Not really I used a reference actually. [img]http://us.123rf.com/400wm/400/400/tiero/tiero1010/tiero101000156/8094824-portrait-of-old-man-reading-a-book.jpg[/img]

I read in the other thread that you guys want the banner and OP changed. Ummmmm. No. Why should I? It's not like people ever come back to the first page anyway.

His nose isn't pointy enough

[QUOTE=onox37;29347188] Why should I? It's not like people ever come back to the first page anyway.[/QUOTE] Uh, yeah. There is always new people. I've argued and yelled about this 50 bazillion times in the FA thread and it's been proven countless of times that there is always someone new that reads up from the start and read the damn OP. The rules list isn't for us that wank around here, it's for those that usually don't.

-sniperooski- OP edited.

[QUOTE=Khaos-23;29349038]Can you tell me how you make such good smoke/fog?[/QUOTE] thanks for the compliment does CS5 have cloud brushes by default? i dont remember installing any so i'm assuming it does but yeh basically i used those with brush opacity on 100% and with pressure sensitivity on. i used the burn tool in places to make it look like the smoke is casting shadows on itself, rather than painting it on with the brush tool. that's pretty much all there was too it :v:

can you elaborate on "flattens the image"? i can always rectify the loss of colouration in the smoke later

What's with the OP?
