A House & Grr @ openCanvas

Warcaptain · #1 06-19-2006, 06:39 PM

So.. I got bored and wanted to try some gfx.. heres my house!

Its incomplete because I finished it, then when I tried to save it openCanvas crashed.. yay!

I have never done gfx before, so be nice

And I am aware of the little whiteness.. I need to fix it (again)

I tried to color it and shade it Kingdoms style because I am going to be using the same system for houses (one big image) and I am tired of trying to get people to make the GFX for me x-x So for the time being (until they come through) I am going to work on my own, so I can get stuff done.

It's def a nice start without the shading.

I would make the roof a bit taller though, I guess.

The shading is a bit...off. One side should definatly be darker than the other, to display your lightsource.

It just needs far more general shading...shading gives the illusion that it's more three dimensional. This definately does not look three dimensional.

I'm pretty crappy at this.. I honestly just used a soft brush with alternating density to make things appear shaded... I wanted to be quick x-x

I put your house to shame, Warcaptain. Your impatience will be the death of you

Graals houses were created probably with the assistance of a graphical tablet ( £30+ or $65ish usd ) and a graphics program no different to photoshop. I like it ; you sure have a good idea of what your doing, but if you try to hard to copy them you will fail without the use of a graphics tablet.

Don't forget steady hands and mice.

you don't need to use a mouse when you have a graphics tablet.

We can't all afford a tablet. I know I don't have at least $100 to buy one. So, a good ole fashioned mouse works just fine for me.

Yea, I used a mouse for probably 4 years before I got my tablet.

It's a valuable asset, especially if you can acquire the software necessary to use it well. It's also quite handy for doing photo manipulation. But when I do use it I normally use it to do some drawings.
