Re: Lionheart's Artwork Thread

[Kristles]

Hello again!

I've been super busy. I was finishing up my contract with work, and I've been packing my belongings and will be moving back with my parents for the time being until I decide to take on another job out of the city/state/country? It was a wonderful and lonesome experience. This means I'll have some breathing room once again. I've started to play SK again on a new account and character. However I don't think I'll be associating myself with anyone or a guild, just because I don't want to spend a lot of time in the game. I want to catch up with my family and friends... I want to carry my Chinchilla and Pomeranian... sdfjlskdklsdj;fjaf I am so excited

Anyways here is a more defined picture of how leo's drawing will look like. Approximately done in 35mins-45mins

Hi guys,

quick update again on the drawing. im finally home! I went with some of my friends to a local coffee cafe. interestingly enough they came as study as a group and as for me i was just there until they were finished. meanwhile as they were doing their studies, i brought my own laptop and tablet and planned on starting on the coloring of Leo's drawing and so i did. after we just crashed at one of their places and had a movie night.

this was done in about 40 minutes. you can tell it looks unfinished. i was having trouble figuring out what colors i could use. color blending is the biggest issue for me right now. I am not really good at blending darker colors with other darker colors. looks practically the same to me, whereas i kind of excel more in vibrant colors. i need more time to polish the coloring and details...

Looking great so far!

Thanks for putting in time and effort to draw this

nice artworks

I am terribly sorry for being slow. I've worked on it little by little but not much has been done. I keep misplacing my Pen!

I'll be sure to finalize the final drawing in a few hours or sometime this week.

No update picture :l

The image size was originally 4000x4000 px from the last update picture. I had to "save as" another copy to make the size smaller.

While brushing and using effect tools when doing the details. It was taking a long time to render the commands I was giving it.

Plus the PSD file was a whopping 2gb...

Title: Dreamy Leo
Knight: St-Leone
Original Dimension: 4000x4000 - revamped to 2300x2140 because 4kx4k was a huge file.
Software: Photoshop CS5
Tablet: Bamboo Wacom Pen Touch
Duration: ?!?! LOL

Here is Leo. I guess now can say I've kept my promise. tehehe.
of course i could have done a better job but the task was too difficult for me to handle :p
i was aiming for a more different look and feel from the previous ones.
i don't know how it will look like for you guys in your screen because of inconsistent color calibrations for all monitors
you may have to change your settings on your monitor to view the images better.
i hope you guys like the outcome! be honest! it will help me improve ^^

ooh dangit. i forgot to make a png file on how the shield came about. i'll post it after a new update.

Wow, I'm more than impressed with your work Kristles! Thanks for taking time to do this.

I like the way the drawing "glows", it's very well done. Especially the wings, they look really cool.

This is gonna be my wallpaper for my computer and phone!

Krystal... one of my best friends in SK whom I trust. For this drawing I wanted to go for a different look for the helmet. even right now I don't even know what I've done to it lol... Is helmet hair the right words I should say? I know this isn't Krystals color (sorry im tired of playing with dark and bold colors >.<). So I went with a much brighter and lighter color with controlled darks. I originally started this about a week ago, but my power supply died. So after a week found my usb SATA adapter for my external port HDD and SSD's and went on ahead and transferred this file to my laptop... I must say this project went beyond my laptops limit. literally if i wanted something saved it would take 2mins-3mins to save a state. even saving it for a web and devices. it was impossible for me to save because all my RAM was being killed... So I always had to close and reopen my program... and I also had to compress the img because the file size was to large to upload, so having that said. the large image link i've posted below is not really in full high quality :< but it should be enough I guess... even though it took me about 2 hours trying to save and upload the damn thing... next time if I plan on drawing. I should consider drawing in a smaller canvas next time... yeah... some story...
