Hello
Just thought I would start up a little topic here.
I am doing this in the hopes that uploading some drawings etc of dreams may help with recall.
Not all of the stuff I upload will be dream related, some of it will just be random drawings etc.
So yeah thats it really lol oh and any comments, advice and even critisism is welcome :)
So here is my first upload.
Its my first time using Photo shop and I have been experimenting with the tools on it etc
Its meant to be a Volcano in the foreground and a snow covered mountain and clouds etc in the back ground. Its not finished yet I still need to detail the forgroundand the space between the volcano and the mountain in the distance.

Nice, I was expecting something a lot worse than that. I like it a lot.
I like it a lot too; it's really good. I love the shapes of the clouds. The moon and the sky are beautiful. It's cool how you made a volcano in the mountains.
You should do some of your dream stuff too.
:D Thanks man, your art work is great so that means alot :)Quote:

I don't know, I'll have to back and look thru your journal. Don't worry, I won't make you draw DeNiro. :chuckle:
I don't know if it's purposeful or just a result of using photoshop, but I love the style of that picture! It looks almost like paintbrush strokes, but softer and more feathered. Very nice!
Actually, my BF saw it on the screen, and he thought it was a painting.
Oh, yea...dream journal...I'll be back..
Very good work Mark..honestly, you've got a knack..keep playing around, you've got some good talent. Indeed, drawing your dreams could be a fantastic idea...a visual record for you and to share.
Anyway, keep it up! I like!
OK, how about this recent flying one, which I remember you enjoyed quite a bit:

Cool...the flyer looks very determined!
OMG MARK OMG!!! I don't know anything about photoshop but OMG!!!!!
Wow your "volcanoey mountainy look at the amazing sky and mix of lava and ice" drawing is REALLY AMAZING!!
oh some things though..
Are you using a tablet(friend wants to know they say v good but they want to know) and also one nit pit, your stars are like white pixels, are you going to make them more glowing and such to add realism rather then the dots?
Amazing drawings dude, I find drawing hard on paper, even harder on the computer!

err...I have no Idea what a tablet is lol all I did was build up the picture using layers....thats really all I know what to do at the minute lol
About the stars - I will def take your suggestion and try to make them more glowing, im not entirely sure how but I will give it a try at the week end see what I can do
:D:D he he thanks man :) im just trying to learn all this photoshop stuff at the minQuote:

im impressed to say the least...
Wow... These are awesome. Your pictures are really good for someone to just start using Photoshop.
Definitely. Nice work, mark. That volcano pic is amazing. :goodjob2:
Thanks everyone :)
Oneironaut man your art is incredible so it mean alot coming from you!
I plan to do some more stuff this weekend...I never got around to doing anything last weekend:P
just a quick little thing im doing, its once again not finished lol I may have to add a few things or removes some and tidy it up a little
Well really im just experimenting with some ideas. This one was inspired by one of my dreams....I will have to search through my DJ for the correct one but basically I was swimming through the air and came across a coastal area were everything was silhouetted by the sunset
http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x...rd/sunset1.jpg
Beautiful, mark. It's almost like a photograph, but with the colors touched up a little bit to make it more eerie.
thank you very much moonbeam :D you comments are always very nice to read :)Quote:

Though relatively simple and yet incomplete, I love the sunset picture.
The volcano one is my favorite, I love the detail! I like the snow on the mountain peak, and the fire / lava. But, if you don't mind a little constructive critisism, I think that the sky could use a tiny bit more work. Maybe a little glow around the stars?
I can't wait to see more. You are, I must say, incredibly talented.
:D:DQuote:

yeah your right and someone else mentioned about the stars they are not very good, also the fore ground lacks detail but im not entirely sure what to do with it....hmmmm
the sunset and volcano one were just a few things im trying out really so im not entirely sure if im gonna go back to them. This thread was intended for some of my fav LDs and normal dreams
so today at work having nothing to do lol I took to doodling some stuff.
Now one of the dreams I have been wanting to draw for ages is my Squid luicid found at the below link.
http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...&postcount=180
this is one of my fav lucids so here is a little plan for doing it. The sketch is fairly basic and a little scrappy but after all its just a plan lol
http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x...ord/img040.jpg
and I have started on the first frame, im still unsure if I will shrink it down to put them all on the same image which could be cool, this one as per is not finished however this one will def be finished. I may change a few things here and there. Any advice suggestions please feel free to post.

Wow, how come I haven't seen this topic before :o
Im in love with that drawing of the sunset with the silhouette... I could stare at it for hours, making up some nice story going on there... ;)
(have some good memories about sunset at the beach, in Portugal, so this brings back the good memories)
I can't believe you just started working with PS... what tools do you use to create that 'almost real' look in your paintings?
yeah im a massive fan of sun sets I love them, they are very romantic. I saw a great one off the coast of italy a few years back it was totally beautiful.Quote:

Oh yea, the squid dream--that was a good one, especially the ending. Your sketches have great perspective. That will be a cool one when you get it done.
It's really cool that you are using your dreams to inspire your art--what a great source for subject material.
Brilliant work Mark..that's the truth. I don't know how long you've been fiddling with Photoshop but well done. I'm also VERY fond of the sunset photo...As Moonbeam said, it's good subject material from no better source than...dreams:D.
Thanks MB they were just a quick little thing I did in a spare fe mins at work. I will have to start drawing again I really enjoy it, its just finding the time lolQuote:

Basics completed on the first "slide" of my squid lucid dream. I will come back and touch up when I complete the other pics
http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x...d1update-1.jpg
here is the basic plan of flying through the city scene
http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x...ape-squid1.jpg
The arrows really complete the picture.
I love the purple sky; that is so beautiful.
very nice!
As per my job today was incredibly boring! so with a few spare minutes on my hand I decided to do a couple of little doodles.
Now im a huge fan of dragon ball z so I thought I would give it a try after finding a site on how to draw DBZ characters. Now I done these in pen so I couldnt erase any mistakes lol
top left is super saiyajin Goku - the eyes are wrong I messed up there
Top right is meant to be super saiyajin 3 Goku - now the hair was a real challange and I thought it was going ok until I put in the engery which totally messed it up ha ha
Bottom is just normal goku
http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x33/markord/DBZ.jpg
now these are more or less my first real effort into drawing DBZ characters, I have done a few crapy things here and there. Anyone got any tips on how to draw them.
I know I'm a bit late, but seriously, OMG, those PS pictures are soooo good. You have inspired me to get back into PSing and now I'm gonna try making a picture of one of my dreams!
Cheers
Dang, man, you have serious talent! Those Photoshop pictures are amazing, especially the first. Flat-out amazing.
I keep meaning to try my hand at painting in PS but can never seems to find the time. No way I'll ever come close to that, though.
Hey the silouhette and orange clouds look great... It has dialogue too.. Was this all in photoshop?
Oh I didn't see this page... purple is a geat color for the sky... Everything looks super.. the only thing I would change is to make the pictures less symmetrical and move the person or yourslef off to the side..
Wow, I just saw this. I really dig that painting of the sunset. I wouldn't tweak it too much. I think its restraint is what makes it work so well.
I hope you do some more soon.
