Hmm... good point. And actually, perhaps it would be simpler to do a figurine rather than a painting there, assuming that doesn't leave too much empty space. It might be a quicker read, too, assuming I make it somewhat resemble the Dwayna rez shrine statues.

I'll have to play around with it a little. Maybe, if it doesn't clutter it up too much, I can still include the wreath. Placed correctly, it might even evoke a halo for the statuette.

Keep up the good work guys. I haven't made much progress in the past couple of weeks yet, but today I just printed out some reference material in order to piece together the (apparently harder) right half of my work. I like the new works that have been added, a lot ^_^

Awesome Lighting to boot!

I was just hoping to get more opinions on whether I should paint the whole thing holiday-themed colors, or to maintain the metallic colors with minor paint decorations.

Here is the link if you want to check it out: Click here

KiyaKoreena · Dec 21, 2011, 03:28 AM // 03:28

@ Olrun. I vote for maintaining metallic colors.

Anyone have recommendations on how I could go about painting a surface to look like the ice in the snowman run? Testing a few ways right now but not sure if they will work out right.

Try doing a really light blue or gray with a thick clear coat, or take some clear coat and put in a bit of light blue/gray but don't mix it all the way (so you get an inconsistent streak/swirl when you apply it). I've used both techniques with ceramics & porcelains with success. Also, a little bit of sparkles goes a long way.

I don't paint, but when I use colored pencils or Photoshop I generally make a flash of white at an angle down the center as glare and slowly fade into light tones of blue.

How did you get the frozen ecto pieces to have those swirls in them just like the virtual ones?

KiyaKoreena · Dec 21, 2011, 08:22 PM // 20:22

They are the crackled glass beads. I did the regular ectos last year http://fav.me/d32cia1 I was searching around last week and I found these http://www.vitabeads.com/photo%2011/20110922%2007.jpg which I think would make even better ectos.

Added your progress gallery but not the final artwork link since that's included in your gallery

Are you still open for feedback from others in the workshop or are you completely done (just want to make sure in case you were still open to some even though you gave a final artwork link)?

AHH not the mask D: Oh well, atleast the front half is being saved and the environment will thank you for it. Probably.

/worst at managing time for fun.

So I said I was going to start a few days ago. Didn't get the chance. BUT have marginally less assignments/tests now (tomorrows the last day). I still have to paint my brothers christmas gift, wrap it, etc. (its a logo for his labcoat) but i SHOULD be able to actually post a sketch.

Yell at me if I don't! I would like the atleast have something in my WIP gallery.

Starfleck · Dec 21, 2011, 09:54 PM // 21:54

Yay finally getting down to the last couple of weeks, so my hands are realizing this has to get done.

Color time.

What I finally decided on was that Dwayna would make a far better gift-giver than any of my alternatives. At this point I'm going to focus on polishing this image, rather than attempting a cartoonish Togo. I'm still working with a 10-year-old cheapo digital camera, but unfortunately that's all I've got until I borrow someone's.
