Anyways I haven't chopped in a while, so I think my chops will be choppy for a while lol... It's like I am back from hibernation lmao...

Anyway this took me a full week, not coz I spend lotsa time on it, coz I kept procrastinating it and kept playing sims 2 lol...

This is really cool except that the white of the hand is too sharp; the lighting should be a tad less on the hand so you can make out the shadows and don't see spare pixels floating out.

Thanks... About the white on his hand... I know it way too white... Leveling it doesn't make it look it any better nor does brurning... Looks bad... Could have done something but then it does attract attention... So I kept it like that so people looks at it first and then the soul...

This competition was running when I first joined the site in Jan09, so I made this pic. Unfortunately I didn't realise that it was a 10+ level competition and I couldn't upload it.
Thank you to Sergey Lebedev for his great locomotive.

Well I decided to take the bus
It was about 6:05
'cause I could hardly walk
In fact, I was just barely alive
Under the bridges and over the street
Now every shadow that I meet
They all know my name
And they whisper
" What's a matter hon
Don't you know you're riding on the ghost train"

I should be using a smudge-guard when I sketch this to make sure my hand doesn't do anything to the image, but I don't feel like it. Also, I sketch really fast.

Sketching, the, Jet

ponti55 says:

Nice idea, but i don;t really like the blur you applied, even if it's because you sketch really fast, but it's a good idea, so good luck!

REPLY

author says:

Thanks for the input: I applied the blur because I couldn't get the edges of the hand to be smooth, and then I said I sketch fast to justify it.

REPLY

rikigoft says:

great idia, nicly done

REPLY

isoflow says:

To get smooth edges you should applay a layer mask, and paint carefully wiht a smooth brush (black colour) around the hand. Good luck!

REPLY

mariosilva says:

typical work for who dt have ideas!probably u new in this site good luck, and blur hand???? u should change that

REPLY

author says:

Thanks isoflow: I fixed the edges and took off the blur.

REPLY

Stowsk says:

The paper is laying flat,,,your index finger would be at least 4 inches above the sheet...why such a tight shad. You'd never see it, there should be no shad above the hand....and no depth to the sketch. Nice idea

REPLY

Stowsk says:

From the look of the sketch the light is top right, ( though the hand doesn't justify this....it is was it is) ...longer shad at the bottom of the hand and drop a shad below the engine...bottom left . this will give the appearance of the the engine coming off the paper. Flat in background and depth in the foreground......Go for it my friend.

isoflow says:

The blending is nice now, and the image got much better after you removed the blur!

I merged starry night pic with a design pattern and used layer modes to attain desire effect.. both pics are my own work... i painted the white image on the above out come and used liquify option to bring the effect desired..and merged it using layer modes... (5 years and 3686 days ago)
