i thought of the book. and the movie.
a little different from what i expected.
great picture regardless. atmoshere and the light works are executed beautifully.
also... another note from your comments on some other thread.. i had tablet for a year without using it, sitting in the closet. cuz i thought my optic mouse was working fine for me. my work displayed here on Conceptart right now are done with a mouse. but once i got the tablet plugged in.... everything changed. if you can excess one, i recommend you try again, and try getting the hang of it.

thanks for the compliments on my image HooN,
it means a great deal to me.

also about the image, I wanted the dreamy state of the movie but without the negitive emotions.... somthing you can enjoy but has a hidden dark side.

also, I did have a wacom tablet for about 6 months ago, i got it on sale for 200 bucks (canadian) and it worked amazing for 2 weeks..and then it died on me...I wish i had the cash for a new wacom...but its just not in the cards :cry:
maybe for my birthday!....tomorow!...but probably not
anyways im considering geting a scanner...
its cheaper, and i can just scan in my drawings
is this a better way of painting?
and if anyone knows of a good scanner ..please..:help:

I use a Genius Wizard Pen tablet. Way much cheaper but works GREAT! It's only 5''x4'' but fine for me.
Check ithttp://www.geniusnet.com.tw/product/tablet/wizardpen.htm

It's about 40$

Sorry I don't want to advertise anything but I want to make sure that other poor artists lik me know about this piece of hardware too. :)

eh, right now im pretty happy with my mouse
its OPTICAL!!!! w0000


:D

This has got very nice colours.

The moon is glowing a bit too much though, and the clouds need more variation and depth. You might want to block them out more and give it some 3-dimensional shading

I like the negative light rays you used. Really makes the character the centre of the piece :)

[Rockman]

it's a really good pic!, the thing that really keeps it from being a great pic is the lack of stuff going on..it's a huge negative area with the clouds and a tiny figure near the center...I also like the way her dress looks transparent, it just needs more visual interest.....

you know, i thought long and hard about this .. and your totaly right! im going to add somthing else to use up this space
thanks!!!

I'm not able to make pictures like that...It's wonderful. Have you more drawings like that?

[Nirox]

Yes i have others, but i must admit "Requiem for a Dream" is my best image so far, since i started painting with photoshop about a year ago. Here's another 4 images ive done..which you guys/gals might enjoy..(hopefully :) )
