Very nice! I like the background touches as well.
Thanks guys :-)
I like to think of myself as more of a photographer for games than an 'artist' (though I consider photographers artists, you don't often think of artists as photographers, especially for game/comic art). I spend a lot of time framing shots, taking dozens of screen captures until my angle and lighting are right. Then like any modern fashion or magazine photographer, I spend many hours in photoshop airbrushing out blemishes, correcting lighting and color balancing, outright handpainting details and highlights that don't exist in the original shot, etc.
So I guess I am a "Screenshot photographer".
Hey welcome back to the art forums .
haha, I've been back for over a month. >_> but I lurk. I'm a lurker.
<_<
well, continue lurking - but post up some more of these when ya got 'em.
.. Ages since I posted anything here...
.
So I thought I'd sort of "re-introduce" myself.
I do screenshot manipulations. Everything I do involved screen captures from a game (in this case CoH) and then extensive retouching in photoshop. Some handpainting, some creative layering and mask effects, color adjustments, judicious use of the smudge and liquify tool, and limited filter effects (mostly careful blurring). I do not use a renderer or any 3d modeling software, nor do I try to paint a completely new digital painting.
What I aim for is something you can easily recognize as 'City of' graphics and textures, realized as only an artist with a few hours and photoshop airbrush can bring to life - just like all those supermodels you see in Elle and Maxium :P. Real life with an airbrush
Anyway...
