Thread: Oneironaut's Artwork

Aela the huntress, great work
Btw I'm nearly done the 3d model of one of your previous works I'll upload it later.

Thanks, man! And I can't wait to see it.

Possibly my last update, before putting the finishing touches on her. (We'll see.)

Chloe Dykstra as Aela the Huntress

Wow, that's wicked O, you're very talented.
P.S. Skyrim is the greatest game ever (in my opinion ofcourse )

Many thanks, Trip!!
(And it is a pretty awesome game. )

Some photomanipulations I've done for a few of the cosplayers over at DeviantArt.

New(ish) WIP:

~TrippingCosplay(@DeviantArt) as Vash the Stampede



Just a little more to be done on this one. I realized, after I'd started the project, that the cosplayer was missing the leather straps on his 'gun-arm' (left), so now I'm faced with the dilemma of either leaving the arm black, as it is in the picture, or trying to draw in the leather straps, myself. Not quite sure which way I wanna go with it yet...

Finished dream pic from earlier:

Working on my speed painting and trying out a new technique. This pic took me about 45 mins. Inspired by my present avatar (which will be changing again soon).

Leonardo speed painting. About an hour and a half. Damn good, for me.

Hey, that looks great! Even though I was expecting an old dude with a white beard..

LOL. Thanks, DM! Hope you don't mind settling for the SECOND-coolest Leonardo ever.

He'll do - better than that DeCaprio wannabe..

New work in progress. Dante from DMC:

Update. Mainly working on the face and upper-torso.

Your artwork is awesome

I was just wondering what you use to make it? Im thinking of buying a graphics tablet and trying out digital art but I've never tried it before. Im used to pencil and paper. So yeah what stuff do you use like what programs and stuff?

If you've got the means a program like photoshop cs6 is the top of the iceberg in terms of digital artwork, it is however extremely expensive. If you've got a scanner a great option is to get GIMP (a free drawing program, almost equal to photoshop except for a few less extra's) and draw things on paper and then import them and finish them on the computer. I love using photoshop but I don't own a copy so I do the second option which works really well.
A word of advice, don't give up on drawing once you get into digital art, it's much more gratifying once you can do both then just one, and it's especially fun if you can mix the two processes

@Oneironaut Zero,
Crap I forgot to upload picture of my 3D model I made, I had like half of it done, but I upgraded my PC and I reinstalled everything so I lost it. Admittedly I hadn't even gotten on to the texture because I am quite the procrastinator but I got quite far on the 3d model itself. IF I ever have the time, I will see if I can incorporate it in my designs because I did really like that scythe.

@Oneironaut Zero,

The package I was looking at would have photoshop and a couple of others included. Like you said, I would draw it first in pencil/pen on paper, then scan it and make a colored digital version. I'm all for having one, but they are quite expensive (The one I'm looking at isn't too bad, only £140, approx. $210) for something that might take a while to get used to. The only flaw I can see in it is getting used to looking at the screen and not what my hand is doing. Apart from that, most reviews say that once they start using it and get over the awkward stage, it is the best decision they have done.

It may take me a while to get over that though, considering I have completely no experience in using digital art, other than a couple of stick men in MS paint XD

It definetely is a great idea to get one. I have a wacome A5 bamboo and even that is awesome and it was really cheap. I'm thinking if getting an actual pen display, because then I can see where my hand is and what I'm drawing.

Can you Post a link of the package your interested in? Sounds to good to be true.

I was going to go for the wacom bamboo create, but then I realized they only do the create version in america. I don't want to pay a lot for postage and stuff. Anyway, this is as close to it as I can find: Wacom Bamboo Fun Medium Graphics Tablet: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories

Also I wanted one of them too, but the only decent one I could find was the Wacom Cintiq, which is in the thousands area. Considering I don't work or anything, and I am having to work for my parents just to get the £140, it's a little out of my price range. XD

That's a great little table, they work really well, hope you have fun with it

Thanks for the compliment!

I use a Wacom CTE-440. It's very small, and I'm looking to switch to something bigger, soon, but it does the job. I use Photoshop CS6 mainly, but will sometimes work with Photo editor online - Pixlr.com edit image, when I'm away from home and want to do some touch-ups. I still dabble a little bit with 3D modelling, and use Blender3D for that, but it's been a while since I used it. Mainly Photoshop and my tablet, though.

I second what dutch said about GIMP, though. It's a good, free alternative to Photoshop.

Agreed!

No worries, man. Whenever you get around to it. I am anxious to see what you've come up with, though!

That was (still kinda is) my main hurdle. I've been drawing on paper since I was like 8, and just recently learned to use a tablet, within the past couple of years. It definitely takes some getting used to, but it gets much easier with practice. You start to realize how much the pros outweigh cons, and the awkwardness (which, honestly, is still kinda there) begins to fade away.

Also, another work in progress. Concept art from the novel I'm working on, depicting (loosely) the final battle between the protagonist (a lucid dreamer) and antagonist of the story (the so-called 'God of Nightmares'):


Sketched on paper today, while at work, and will be colored in Photoshop.

(Will be lots of black in the picture, so I didn't bother with much detail on the scan.)
