Nope.

Just had a look at the Gnomon website. Do these DVD's offer information about using Corel Painter? Or are they purely artistic techniques?

Nice work here today peeps :D

I cant really think of anything new, so here's an old one.

bad scan muffin... and you might want to size it down to around, 800 to 1000 pixels on the long edge.. I like his weopon hand though.. the pose seems a little stiff

The secret sisterhood of the tigress has members trained in the stealthy art of assassination and gives it's most prized awards to those who mark their bodies with the marks of the hunter, and who remain faceless in the crowds. or something.
Painter couple of hours maybe more, refed (finally)

Hey, sonja.. some deal with photoshop, others with painter...

For photoshop - the feng painting is pretty good. Also I think duso uses photoshop in his, thats one I haven't seen. Neville Page is a good PS one too.
I actually meant neville page when I said dusso before ;) . dusso does crazy matte paintings in PS.

For Painter - you cant beat ryan churchs vids... They helped countless guys get better with painter... Feng also uses painter in his robot rendering vid.

There are so many I havent seen yet.. but I would not recommend them all.. But the ones I mentioned helped me in painter.. and I am just starting out.

For traditional - Syd Mead was one of the most awe-inspiring to watch.. the guys been doing it for so long, his hand moved as calm as if he was doing the dishes.

hope that helps....

Roberts mother always said it was a “gift” he was born with.. But some how Robert never believed his gigantic robotic killing hand was a gift…it was fun.. But no gift..

I'm not sure where exactly I was going with this except that I wanted to draw a ceremonial weapon that was created around a defeated creature's giant claw.
Anyway...

I haven't done one of these in 50 DSGs, shame on me. Here is my quick pencil sketch of a claw-based bow and arrow. Due to bad page placement, the arrow was drawn too large...

Goran - Very cool. I love the lighting.
Everyone else, great stuff...
