heres my first attempt

tell me what you think

Thanks for all the nice comments, it's really appreciated.

Ok, Selena, I think you did absolutely great. Good pose and nice background setting. When I do mine I always forget that Lion's Arch and it's surroundings can make for beautiful backdrops. The one thing I think you could do with your pic would be to use the Dodge Tool and make some background elements a bit brighter. The sky is bright blue so it should have more light into it. I use the Lighting effect because most of my shots are taken in Cantha where the sky is always filled with clouds.

TheLordOfBlah: Just like Selena, your first try is very good. One thing I can point (which I didn't specify in my tutorial) is that when you do the erasing, keep in mind that you want to achieve the 35mm look. So if your character stands out, the ground in his immediate surrounding should be clear as well. For reference, look at my first post and check the picture with Saiko my fire elementalist, you'll see first hand what I mean.

OMFGimCUTE: Noted.

Alpha Mote: I really like it. The sky above Old Ascalon is really great and sets the mood. Truly another place I've neglected to travel to for some pictures.

Alpha Moth · Jun 25, 2006, 04:25 AM // 04:25

lighting

Bethany · Jun 25, 2006, 04:27 AM // 04:27

I like the first one better, the lighting is more dramatic. Great job!

Alpha Moth · Jun 25, 2006, 04:34 AM // 04:34

thnx

^^

im wondering, with the monk on first page, where did u take that?

Bethany · Jun 25, 2006, 04:42 AM // 04:42

Wow, I really like that one. Now if you could, erase some of the area around your monk; say the portion from the bottom of the image right up to his ankles.

Ah! That was taken right outside Shing Jea monastery. when you exit it's the first place you see. I took several shots there because I find it very beautiful with the distant temples and overcast sky.

This is truly amazing. I never tought one second that the type of picture I made would catch on like this. Not only that but you guys are making truly beautiful pieces. Let's keep them coming!

here's a couple i made, first one was using a technique similar to the one you posted bethany, but i didn't do any of the things that made it brighter (ie. dodge). the second one is just a simple lighting effect, not complicated at all but i thought it looked great.

I posted this pic in another thread, can't remember which. But I decided to alter it, add highlights/shadow to the armor in portions that needed it.

(Removed Pic, Updated in another post)
