Now I normally don't make my own topics as I usually don't think I have anything important enough to make a topic about in the first place.
This might already be in a topic somewhere or even have it's own topic and thus it'll make me look stupid, but ..what the hey, here goes nothing:
I was blown away but THIS piece of genius art, and thought I'd share it with the rest of you  Enjoy!

Why should I GTFO? I'm just telling my oppinion but it seems like you're not suppose to say anything remotely negative. And where did I say I could do anything remotely artistic? I dont have any drawing abbilities, I'm good at other things. Maybe you should start accepting others oppinions, everyone doesnt think or feel the same.

Same thing happened to me. Was quite ****ed off my happy trees never looked like more than blobby-triangle-things...

Guys guys guys...it's fine if you don't think it's terribly impressive and what not. Nobody is forcing you to be  But if anything atleast acknowledge the skill of the artist, or..well...the effort maybe?
I don't know, I guess if you don't like it at all, that's fine too. I just shared the link because I thought it was nice

I think that which you call a screenshot is the actual finished image sitting in the background. (The drawn one..not a screenshot) I could be wrong though *shrugs*

Although I can't see wether he is tracing or not, bear in mind that he has used a screenshot as a reference. Even the great masters had to use models for their paintings of something of something as relitively simple as the human being, being able to accurately portray an EVE spaceship without a reference would be autistic.
Him flipping the screenshot into fullsize once and a while to get the small details isn't unlikely.

It's good but not great. He's of course better than most likely 80% of the rest of us but he's not even near the top yet. There's still room for improvement which can be gained through experience.
(I also do agree with someone that it does seem like a screenshot trace) -

Tracing on pc and tracing on paper are way entirely two different ballparks.
The guy know what he is doing when it comes to useing the software and using multiplicity to do the highlights instead of different colors to change the surfaces of the picture.

dude all he did was open a screenshot of a system bacground and used the Photoshop dupe tool.
He then opened a picture of a wyvern that he had smart selected out of a screenshot. He then pulled off the essence of cut and paste...bottom line, theres nothing elaborate to see here. Go away with your "omg hes so talented" crap.

He is talented though :) Not to mention it is rather "omg" as he is infact drawing it, shading it and making it from scratch from a weird color blob  If you don't think it's an impressive feat, then thats fine, but don't go off on others for not agreeing with you.

Boy you sure are "special."
You people screaming "OMG FAEK LOL" or "OMG TRACEZED LOL" should actually WATCH the video. The so called "original screenshot" isn't even from the same direction or the same size. And the people saying "FAEK" need to learn2watchvideo. CLEARLY he CREATED the image as you can witness in the video, you're prolly just too computer illiterate to know how to do it.
Just because you can only use the paintbucket tool in Photoshop doesn't mean that everyone is as handicapped as you. Envious little brats. |

You people screaming "OMG FAEK LOL" or "OMG TRACEZED LOL" should actually WATCH the video. The so called "original screenshot" isn't even from the same direction or the same size. And the people saying "FAEK" need to learn2watchvideo. CLEARLY he CREATED the image as you can witness in the video, you're prolly just too computer illiterate to know how to do it.
Just because you can only use the paintbucket tool in Photoshop doesn't mean that everyone is as handicapped as you. Envious little brats.
yeah you got me, im computer illiterate, and im also a 14 year old pimply faced kid, right? People like you who reort to childish insults are the ones who truly lack a brain.

Now now ladies, put the handbags away 
If you don't like what the guy did, or don't think he's talented that's fine, but let those who think otherwise, enjoy the artwork.

OR, he's just zooming out and in. Wow, we can't even tell the difference between his drawing and a screenshot!

m8, i do this for a living as a reprographic artist and have done for nearly 20 years. there's nothing special about it, i've taught many people to do it at work.
Using photoshop even with a slight degree of knowledge can produce artwork that is amazing to people who don't know what capabilities it has.
This took 30 seconds from a screenshot:

Ok dude, let it go.
His process displays an odd way of constructing an image with strong perspective but not impossible.
If it's a paintover or trace I didn't see any sign of it in the video. What this is certainly not is a cheap watercolour filter over a screen shot. You can clearly see the painting process in action.
Feel free to crit or post your opinions but even if you don't like the pic, demeaning the effort the artist has put in is not polite. -

It's very impressive. I like the shading and the fact that it was hand drawn. The entire process itself was fascinating to watch.

He obviously used the screenshot as a reference - he didn't trace it. Understandable since the design of the ship isn't his own.
Very impressive.

BTW if you check his castle video you'll see that he's not amazingly talented, he's just better than most of us just as already stated.
Leave that "OMG this is so cool!!!" to CGtalk, thank you. CG artists in general do NOT need a pat in the back, they need constructive criticism to become better over time. -

I already own a wacom tablet its not the best, fails at tracing my own drawings, it would be neat if it had a screen itself on it.
Anyways This isnt a trace drawing if you notice on the refrence and final product the 'rear' end of the ship are about 15 degrees off from each other to the point you can clearly see it way off. He used the reference picture to lay down the proper highlights and shades, although this overall doesnt take to much skill to do, the understanding behind the process takes time to learn. Not everyone understands that shading doesnt involve changing or adding color to the affected product but to harmonize with its light and lack of light sources.
However thanks to him I may have picked up a few techniques I'll be attempting a CGI of my caldari lander in my last post in the same methood he uses i already got the space clouds and star drop done and slapped down the dark blue blotch for the ship itself ill be butchering it this weekend and post my results when im done if you dont know what ship im talking about heres the pictre of it again.

Any ways yes I am an artist struggeling on translating my paper works into a digital media the software and hardware is exepsensive and learning the best parts takes a long time, overall this work is probably a 7 out of 10 area of effort and talent in cgi works far above my 2 out of 10. Its not a professional grade work but closely resembels it.

Well, of course they make a variety of models, but most cg artists w/ disagree w/ you about your first comment regarding wacom. They do in fact offer a model that is also a display, i think its called 'intuos' or something like that. But yeah, that's like the mecca in 'equipment cg'rs want'......but will set you back around 3-4 grand. Point being though, if you got the money, wacom's as good as it gets in regard to tablets.
In regard to your struggle, only advice i can throw you're way is to just keep at it and practice. I know the cost of some app's can be rather prohibitive, but it's better to just buy them than use warez stuff. Reason being is that it's much easier to motivate yourself to learn all you can about an app. when you need to justify the fact that it's raped your wallet.
Anyway, good luck in your efforts.
And to make a comment to the actual thread =p. W/ enough practice & knowhow, yeah this stuffs not that hard. But it still takes a degree of talent & work, & a lot of practice to get there, and it's still impressive work.

well, tracing is one way, but i can do it better:
you take the screenshot - aply whatever filters you like to male it look hand drawn or painted, or trased or blabla
then you create a new layer and paint it blue!
an fron there on with a use of soft eraser (20%) remove the blue paint while filming the proses, regulaly chenging hardnes and shape or the eraser to make it look more fun.
now i am not saying that he did it - he may indeed took houres to painstakenly trace the thing..who knows. but folow abouve steps and you too can be a great artist.

a perfect illustration of the fact that the guy has skill and you do not. if for no other reason i was impressed by the knowledge and control of the app used. tbh i was just overall impressed. very nice work. to all the nay-sayers, if its so easy to do this by tracing or whatever other silly method you think the artist used, lets see it. make your own movie and show us ur 1337 skillz. otherwise, as mom always said "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all".

I know there are as many ways I could have faked it using a light table or whatever, but, I didn't(period)

Hrmm... I'm not going to knock artistic ability here as it does look nice, but I'll have to ask a few questions before I believe it's the real deal-
1. What resolution setting are you using? 2. What is your colorspace? What mode are you using? 3. Do you use a mouse, pen? 4. Why are you using Photoshop for this?
I hate to be a jerk, but to the guy who said he was impressed by the photoshop skills of the artist, I'm really not impressed. As someone who's used it nearly every day (for work)since 2.0 (1992ish), I just fail to see what -if anything- spectacular he's doing... You have to understand that guys like me (and there are quite a few) are quite elitist about Photoshop. It's sort of offensive to hear every day how some kid is a genius in PS because he's discovered the clone stamp/extract/filters/etc when you've been doing it most of your life. I think it's wonderful that you can change your own sparkplugs and replace an engine; you're still not an engineer. Know what I mean?
At first glance it looks as if there's some history brush going on, but the larger pic clears that up a little. I'd enjoy seeing the full size picture.
