good edit but think planar instead of linear.  it's not the outlines that would darken (or even appear) but the faces turned towards us

quick sketch :

A mistake is a mistake.
The same mistake twice is a bad habit.
The same mistake three or more times is a motif.

Thanks a lot Nate, im extremely thankful for all the critique i've gotten on this piece( also shown at punaji and conceptart). That edit gives me alot of ideas on ways to go with this piece. One thing is that the negative space that appears to be just a wall in the right 1/3 of the canvas is actually an opening with stairs leading beyond. In your edit you obviously didn't realize that- do you think there's anything I can do to make that apparent or does it really matter?

I'd suggest finding ways to separate the floor and wall in the bottom-right corner, if you're looking for ways to make the hall feel more like a hall. Right now, where the wall ends and floor begins is more or less ambiguous, but if you were to use the white baseboard in your reference pic as a sort of divider between floor and wall, it'd be more evident that the wall meets the floor at this point and by the looks of the perspective it doesn't quite meet that corner there, so that must be a hallway.

I'd do perspectivey fleshing out lines if it weren't 1 am and if photoshop felt like opening :D

Looking forward to your further progress, and I'm glad you've almost painted over it enough to get rid of that freaky ghost-lamp that was to the right of the actual lamp now.

Man I don't make sense.

Tiny bit of fun, because Voxels are silly :



(you draw each horizontal cross-section, stack them one pixel above each other, rotate mechanically, and stretch horizontal width 200% to make it appear iso)

Is there now some sort of reasonable voxel editor? If so, please link.

That's one I've been linked to and used, I haven't made anything worthwhile but Xion has made some beautiful stuff.

I got a waterbottle full of jellybeans.



Not necessarily on-topic, but kind of:

Did you have an intuos/graphire/bamboo before, and do you find the cintiq actually more useful?

Yeah I used to used a 4x6 graphire, my Cintiq is 6x10 (roughly) and has all kind of buttons all over it. It's so much nicer to not have the disconnection between the screen and what you are drawing and having most of the tools directly at your fingertips makes it so much easier. I reconstructed my photoshop layout to make it faster for me to select things and use them on the fly. I feel more like I'm doing art more traditionally than digitally. Also it doubles as a second monitor which is fantastic when you are switching between multiple programs.

Ultimately I think it would be a good investment, especially if you find other wacom tablets frustrating at times. You'd just have to be willing to pay the price which is still pretty high.
