I made my own brush and used it for the eyebrows. The body is the bitmap texture we learned to do last week. The rest of the textures are ones that I made and live traced.
Unfortunately this majestic monster is now extinct. Thank goodness there is a photo of it.
This is indeed a most majestic monster. I love how you did the background - the color choice really pushes the monster forward! However I think that the background and monster don't entirely integrate - maybe adding a subtle texture to part of the background, maybe just the closest part, would help? I really love this design, though, and the textures! But I think it could be improved by moving one of the legs behind the body unless the legs are in front and behind of each other?
ReplyDeleteThis tail is really cool. I really like these textures too! I think that the feet seem less thought out then the rest of it however.
ReplyDeleteI really like how you made the background/environment for this- soft/simplistic enough to keep it in the background, but with enough there to create a nice space for the monster. The monster itself has a lot of character to it, I really love the eyebrows you gave him, and the texture on the legs/feet is very nice as well~ It's little blue-fire hair-poof thing on top of his head is really cute.
ReplyDeleteSo cute. :) I love the layering of colors in the tail, and I think the bitmapping thing you did with the body turned out really well. I would really like to see a teeny bit of the boldness (like the outlines) that you used on your creature also used in the background.
ReplyDeleteI love that you're experimenting with all sorts of differnet textures and that you've used them on different parts of his body that seem to fit. I love the stripey teeth texture where you've used it and think it could be really interesting to use that in other parts of the piece. Maybe in the background very subtly? Not over a whole mountain or anything, but maybe you could add some smaller shapes with it, like in shadows, or at the base of the mountains. I think it could be cool to see what this would look like wihtout the outlines as well - I like the spaces where you're letting color against color - and that could be a great attribute that you can use in future illustrations as well!
