Fantastic.. this is very, very good. I'd like to see a steam-punk background of some sort.. but don;t change it unless you want to.. because this is INCREDIBLE! Reply »

Reply:

i love the shadow and the reflection, caught my eye straight away... I am trying sooo hard to make something for this contest inbetween painting the kids room lol Reply »

Reply:

Thnx all for the comment... @ponti55 I did thought of adding a different background, but then I would have to change the shading of the spider and ground reflection... Well this particular background shows the light source and is kinda cool... So will stick to it... Will implement a more steampunk background if I make an another steampunk art... My head is bursting with ideas lol...

Edit: Thanks cmyk64, well I did thought of going brass at one time... But decided to go a bit modern style... Will keep that in mind though in making further steampunk stuff...

Edit: @DanLundberg thnx for ur comment... Well I did admit it was a bit modern, I didn't say it was not steampunk... Also now a days the concept of steampunk is very much diluted... About the material okay I didn't used brass or iron, and about the background hmmmm just cause I didn't give a steampunkish background doesn't mean the subject becomes "non-steampunkish"... But oh well different poeple think differently...

Edit: @Ponti Thanks... It's okay to leave 3 comment in one entry... P.S. The reflection is still there, but barely...

Edit: @Christy He he he it's small coz I wanted to strain the viewers eyes... Just kidding... Well I wanted to make it big, but then I have show nicely on how the boiler gets connected to a burner/fuel tank which is connected to a engine whose piston are inter connected with cylinders which is linkable to a flywheel and stuffs like condenser, valve, gauges etc... Which I am not really familiar on( btw which I am working on)... So I apologize for it... Will try to make an even better working mechanism next time... Reply »

Haha, okay! It was just a suggestion, but it's just a hassle to change it, so leave it the way it is.. again - good luck!! Reply »

Excellent work! Just one suggestion: steampunk stuff is usually made of brass (sometimes iron). This would look extra cool if it was brass. Reply »

Reply:

Cool, but as you admit, this is modern and not particularly steampunk because of material and background (as others have pointed out). Reply »

Reply:

brass looks great too! well done! Reply »

i realy like the reflection overlaping the shadow... realistic... good luck... Reply »

Reply:

Author, the change you made looks nice, and definatley on theme - much more so than your previous one, but in my opinion, the futuristic or modern one looked a lot better. the reflections you made on the body itself looked great. I'm not saying you should change this back, because i do think this is more on theme, i just wanted to let you know, in case you were having second thoughts, that you're previous entry was absolutely magnificent. Good luck, once again (sorry to have left three comments on one entry.) Reply »

Edit: Thanks waz... I will try a little more shading, but not too much... Don't want to ruin it by going overboard... Reply »

Reply:

nice work Reply »

Reply:

Nice result and very recognizable caricature! Coloring is nice too. See that little bit of darker blue in the jeans just above lchappel's right shoe? That kinda shading makes the watercolour and whole drawing more lively. In case you'd like to experiment with that (ie for shading the hands or face/cheeks), would be very cool! But that's up to you, so far the result is pleasant already. Good luck!

EDIT: you're very right, author. Try to add a bit of shading like what I pointed with the trousers, certainly NOT overdo it. Most important is that it has to look spontaneous Reply »

Cool idea, but Lodd's leaning-back aspect doesn't quite work with the straight-on perspective of everything else. Instead of a 2D blueprint approach, a 3D CGI approach might work better. Reply »

Thanks everyone for your comment.... I am glad that you liked my work... And @ DanLundberg yeah I agree, incorporating a 3D look would have been better... I thought of making wire frames, but sadly I don't own or know how to use 3D software... And was too lazy to make them manually =P Reply »

@Sander thanks for the heads up... I agree that the left hand side floor tile did really mess a little with the main subject... Distracting a little... Will fix it up...

very good done! I like this glass effect Reply »

Reply:

It does look more like glass then chrome but I don't think that takes away from the entry.. I wouldn't change it for fear of destroying such a great creations.. very good luck on this

EDIT: MUCH MORE CHROMY (hate saying that it sounds like crummy LOL).. It has a much less water feel and more metallic.. it's amazing in either form (I'd definitely keep the first version and write a more detailed tutorial for it and place it in the tutorial section of this site, who knows.. you could make some GREEN $$$$).. very excellent ..still an awesome image) Reply »

Reply:

wow man.....superb work.....jst reflection of girl need some more work....i mean it should be more distorted.....anyways nicely done....GL Reply »

Reply:

This is too cool although looks more like ice-water to me but hey, how can a girl know what a chrome hand would look like any way lol ) Reply »

Reply:

very nice idea Reply »

Reply:

nice!!!!! but ther is a pice of glas between two fingers, what's that? Reply »

Reply:

Great job... Reply »

Reply:

Great image and work also nice touch with phogorapher in reflection but it looks more like glass them chrome. Maybe darken it a bit... GL

Edit: Step 3 in your SBS looks perfect as chrome, without the reflection of photographer. Reply »

Reply:

fabulous idea very nicely done indeed.....Reminds me of the replication scene in the matrix top job!! Reply »

Reply:

Very cool, but it does look more like glass than chrome. I share Jim's confusion; maybe if only the arm and hand were chrome and the guy's head stayed natural. I would expect the photographer's reflection to be stronger if the hand were chrome. Similarly, all the white portions in the hand seem like they're just the bright background passing through glass. I would expect the reflection of the room's interior to be more off-white/beige. Reply »

Reply:

Edit: Made the glass *cough cough* i mean chrome hand darker and made the reflection of the girl less transparent... Also removed chrome from the man's head as it seems confusing... Does it looks bad or better than the previous one???

Edit: Thnx Aura... I do have the previous version( a habit of mine to save different version of the same file)... I did like the liquid metal( mercury) look of the first one... Reply »

Reply:

great job. very well done Reply »

Reply:

this version is better, it looks more like chrome so fits better in the theme and wel lets just say i persolaly like the darker hand more then the glas like version good job! Reply »

Reply:

Super creative, amazing blend and fits the theme really well, great job Reply »

Reply:

This looks much more chrome-like now. What's great about this entry is that the particular reflection in the chrome is as important to telling the story as the chrome work itself. Reply »

Very funny, but the teeth don't seem to match the quality of the rest of the image; they're too fuzzy. Still great job! Reply »

Reply:

The teeth were meant to be fuzzy... But it way more fuzzier than it looks in my comp... Must be in upload or compression... Ah well it's not hard so I will try fix the teeth...

Edit: Aww looks a bit better, but still fuzzy... Must be due to the contrast between pure black and pure white...

Edit: @Airdnaz, well in the small resolution I also saw that the tail seem messed up... But when I open this in high res, I can't seem to find anything wrong... Maybe due to compression... Reply »

today I see the original tutorial....you shou credit the author..nice job anyway Reply »

Reply:

@Mario, would you mind pasting the link for that tutorial... Also if you read the description, I was originally planning to make rpg style char, but later on dropped on the idea... And then after seeing CMYK's revolutionary pic in the forum, I thought ahh lets go mafia style...

So what if the style comes out same... Also this is done with pure sketching in illustrator... And you can't learn sketching thru tutorials... It's something one develops by his/her own...

So please don't accuse me of ripping... Reply »

Well I could add glow, but I find the color are constrating enough... If one look at a spot for a few moment, the text will seems like glowing due to the contrasting nature of the color used here... Or maybe my moniter calibration is off lol... Reply »

Very nicely done. lot of work. Instead of just colors you can clip another source image into the text area. GL Reply »

Reply:

great!! Reply »

Reply:

@GK I thought of that too... But even in full res, the text are not that big and it's in normal weight... And for the image to be clipped to work well and have a impact, the text should be bigger and must be bold... And if I used big fonts, I won't be able to the show the contour very well... Plus the image on text can be distracting, imho... Reply »

I like the black and white... his beard could be a little darker IMHO You picked one of the great talents here and it's only fitting you gave him a huge paintbrush... great job! Good luck! Reply »

Reply:

. You may want to add a few more curly hairs, so it looks a bit more messy, but for the rest it looks alike! The eyes especially after working&staring at the screen for hours . In case you wanna try with color, I'd recommend a more open style, a bit like water colour and not perfectly inside the lines (but if you keep it in B/W is ok too of course). Interesting what music inspires you . Good luck! Reply »

Reply:

Thx waz... Good to see ur comment here... Okay then I will give it a few fix... And as for color, I will try... But for some reason, I like caricatures in b&w...

And @ bluesparkle yeah it really does suits him... The image of him holding that giant brush was the first thing that came to my mind when I thought of making the caricature of him... Reply »
