What's this about?

Another analysis on the conflict:

Of course saying this localized conflict could lead to a new World War is a bit overreacting but it still is a very serious situation, considering it could also spread to another separatist region within Georgia called Abkhazia. Another potential threat to peace is that the hate generated by this conflict could fuel paramilitary and terrorist groups and situations like the russian school invasion could happen again.

Yeah totally agree about the perspective. I noticed that when the painting was done

Here's something I'm working on. Line art by a friend.

it seems to run photoshop just fine, but complains about the memory. But I'm going to get extra ram to fix that . And if photoshop is too expensive i can probably still use opencanvas or so =).

Check this out Delaz, pretty interesting read: http://www.logoorange.com/logodesign-A.php

Nice shit. The problem with the last one is that the foreground has way too much highlight. Foreground should (almost) always be darker than the background.

Looks nice. Smashing pumpkins ftw

Looks good. The fog is not matching the skybox though. Edit the skybox in photoshop to make it suitable:

- Pick your map's fog color (RGB)

- In photoshop open all 4 side views of the skybox

- Choose gradient fill. One of the ends should be transparent and the other one should be your fog color.

- Use gradient fill and add the fog to your skybox. A lot of testing needs to be done to get the height right though. In my experience the fog should cover about 70% of the side views in order to blend in nicely with the environment.

Broken pillars are the new crates!

Is that tutorial good? I was considering getting the next gen texturing one.

Nice use for a cintiq!

That's very sad, she had a brilliant career ahead.

The 128x128 texture cold also be split in smaller parts so you could have tiling textuers.

You would be free to do any size you want. You can either do a full level (wouldn't make much sense though) or remake your favourite area.

Two quickies (15 mins on the first - 30 on the second). The first one is very boring but I'm posting it here to track my progress anyway. The second one was actually meant for a daily speed painting thread in cgtalk (the theme was "red") but I got a little carried away and spent extra 20 minutes on it.

and a bic pen drawing. I'm thinking of working more on this idea:

Very nice. I'd recommend painting some highlights in the watertower, they really give the painting that special touch.
