ol tries to make textures, laugh

[OL]

so im gonna post the stuff im working on as i learn to texture and you guys can make fun of me but also help me to learn! its fun!

(its supposed to be paint with sum rust under it)

alternate

not sure which i like

[OL]

also made a little wood ditty

[user]

better than anything I'll ever make

[Minos]

dunno they look too contrasty and a bit weird. But keep on, u must start to texture ur own models ~

[Uncle Ho]

Dunno about the rust thing, but the wood is great!

[Marcos]

Looks great!

Like the colours on the rust wall. Looks like painted with blood...

Wood that is that dark and relatively saturated is wet wood. As in wood which has been submerged for considerable time. I don't know if that is what you are aiming for? The grain pattern in the wood looks more like a fir, spruce or pine, and they have much, much lighter colours. Something to consider. My 0.02...

as you would say to me:

No wait, really: Try to find some GOOD ref picture sites, that will help ALOT.

[OL]

i used flannelsauce and mayangs btw

[OL]

i gave the paint another stab here at school, not sure if its better

[st0lve]

Lower the opacity.

[OL]

im thinking like its paint that has some chipped away and theres rust under there, not like rust painted with watercolors

ok lowered it a little and edited my last post

[Makaveli]

Just a few pointers:

1) Be aware of contrast/saturation - some of those textures look far too contrasty/saturated

2) Dont use layer effects, the last one looks like it may have a dropshadow (?)

3) Dont use grunge brushes for textures, your better off hand painting in detials or useing a photo refrence and then hand painting ontop of that.
