That's one huge collection

Hessi: I don't think you are hurting anybody by downloading those STs... they arent even available at stores so....

About random tiling, it doesn't tile properly since the textures seem to tile about half-way into the previous texture if that makes sense? Makes for lots of brush edges in between the texture defuses and looks ever so slightly crappy.

Yeah that's what I meant

Ok here's some more stuff. I know these drawings have got all kinds of anatomical and lighting erros but practising leads to perfection so... Also, nevermind the weird button, those were taken straight from my blog ( http://www.thiagoklafke.net )

Holy shit, anyone ever seen this ??? It's amazing, I'm so looking forward to get into this kind of art... too bad sculpey is REALLY expensive here so I'll have to look for cheaper alternatives.

For those who haver never heard about it:

Every mapper should love it imo

haha I remember playing early versions of this map with mapcore fellows

it's simply my favourite HL map ever to be honest stratty... too bad the new TS was never released (I played an RC back then and it was pretty sweet, why didn't they just release that ?)

I thought random tiling in Half-Life only worked in Software mode?

it works in opengl as well. I had to replace some textures in dm_avon because they were not perfectly tiled ingame.

HOW OLD ARE YOU NOW SPELLY ? 63 ??

Nice stuff, I'll check it out as soon as I have time.

haha I wonder why toad is an enemy though

I love low poly models good job

Really nice work merkaba. I love how even though the colors are pretty different from each other they still get along very well. The contrast and brushwork is also really good, congrats. The last shot's room could use more color contrast though IMO.

Stop being so awesome crysis

Very hot kokos, I love your style.

ok here's some more shit. The first one's from a quick observation drawing and the second one is another character I created.

Nucler-Dawn style advertising FTL!!!

You should make that dry dock narrower and higher. You should also remove those containers, since they make no sense considering that the ship is in a dry dock for repairs or whatever reason.

hahaha

this is how I do it (in photoshop):

- scan a drawing

- Adjust brightness/contrast so the edges are all uniform and strong

- Duplicate the layer and set it as "multiply" and name it "drawing". You will paint everything below this layer.

- Change the background to white

- Add a layer below the "drawing" layer and paint the basic colors with a hard-edge brush

- After the basic colors are done add another layer on top of it and name it "shadows". Use grey'ish tones to paint the shadows and set the layer to "linear burn" with 60% opacity

- Add another layer on top of the basic colors layer and name it "hightlights". Paint the hightlights with grey'ish tones again and set the layer to "screen" or even "color dodge". Adjust the opacity at will.

This is just a rough idea on how I do it. Another good trick is to link the highlights and shadows layers to the basic colors, so its easy to paint them. Here's an awesome article about this:

Also koko posted an awesome video tutorial on the 2d-art forum. You should check it too.

Ok here's some stuff I did recently... Not as good as Koko's of course but they are still cool imo
