Jad, everyone wants to use my incredibly original name!
Yes, lovely graphics in Machinarium. I wish I had the patience/motivation to play through it so I could all of the cool gfx in it, but like most games - I do not . . .
--And Happy Day, I've finally gotten myself to take a serious stab at digi painting. Watched several process vidoes on youtube, studied up, and am now practicing. My justification for the time needed to understand how it's done is a current project featuring cartoony illustrations of character they had me come up with, so what I'm going for is clay-modeled looking cartoonyness with bold black outlines . . . yeah.
All I'm really using is a hard-edged brush, with lots of opacity stroking, layering on the color slowly/gradually. NO DODGE/BURN used at all, goal is to use none. Wow, Tool Presets is a wonderful thing I've found! (oh, I'm using Photoshop, as usual)
