lazy brush set

$
0
0
After so many people requested it, I finally found the time to go through my gigantic pile of brushes and clean them from duplicates and presets I've never really used. The set is built on brushes found all over the internet. You may or not find in it brushes made by ~DanHowardArt, `DanLuVisiArt, *CoyoteMange, *algenpfleger and many many more. I picked and chose what I liked from them and that's how this big-ass set came to life.

The set contains 174 brushes that I use on an everyday basis. For your convenience it's divided into 9 categories:

  • Basic - brushes I use the most. Most of my paintings are made using those particular brushes and often I use only those alone. Brushes from the following categories are just an addition and are used depending on the subject and stylization I work in.
  • Clouds - a few dynamic brushes to paint skies, mist and smoke.
  • Rock - perfect for rocks, ground and other rough surfaces.
  • Water - splashes and brushes with wet edges - best if used with light paint on dark surfaces.
  • Hair & Feathers - Well, ain't I a douchebag. I completely forgot to check the release document for most of the fur and feather brushes and now had to remove them from the set. To download the brushes I use for painting fur, feathers and scales, please visit this brush set --> [link] made by *CoyoteMange
  • Plants - a very big set of dynamic brushes for painting foliage. Most of them are hand-painted giving pictures a very nice and unified look.
  • Details - all sorts of little things that add to the final image - seams, light effects, laces and trinkets.
  • Textures - yummy grunge and garbage that will make those flat surfaces look interesting. Scratches, wrinkles, rust, pores, stains - all you'll ever need.
  • Smudge - special brushes for blending. They give very interesting blur and displacement effects.

Why lazy? Because there are plenty of brushes that make your life easier.

The set works best with Photoshop CS5 and CS6. It should work with versions from 2 to 4 too but some of the brushes might not give the same effects.

Feel free to download and pick whatever you like. Have fun!

I don't use a lot of crazy brushes but along with the standard soft round, hard round, and chalk brushes this is a workhorse of mine when working in Photoshop. Simply add the .abr file to the Presets>Brushes directory in your Adobe Photoshop application folder. I hope you can get some use out of it!

This image was created for a competition on [link], where the objective was to turn the following concept art into a photorealistic matte painting: [link]

The contest was fun and very challenging. I worked a good 50 hours on my entry and there are still many things I'd like to change but I just can't work on it anymore and time until deadline has run out anyway.

You can also find a couple of wip pictures in this thread: [link]

I don't expect to win anything, but I learned a lot during the process and now I have a cool piece in my gallery. It will also be part of my 2013 calendar. :)

Hope you like it!

Faberge Dragon

More dragons! This was for the Creature of the week activity, it's nice getting back into that!

This week's topic was to take a Faberge Egg and imagine that it is actually a dragon egg and we were to design the dragon that comes from the egg~!

Concept: Emera'kuanos

The mystical dragon was hunted for his emerald made bone, there were many tales that were told about the Emera'kuanos, some say that he's the guardian of the greatest treasures, some say he's the king of the sky. Although there were numerous sighting of the dragon, little is known about the dragon. Its golden trim and gems encrusted in the wing, along with its emerald fangs, glitter in the sky with pride as it fly under the sun.

From the drawings and tales that were past down from the dragon age, the Faberge Egg was created based on the scriptures and story of the few brave adventurers who've had the chance to encounter such great beast. It was said that the egg is as delicate and beautiful as a precious jewel.
Under the dragon's head there are fur like that or a lion's mane, therefore the egg was recreated with lions supporting at the base to symbolize the great strength and power of the creature.

How to sketch up a city in ~15 minutes

youtube link mentioned in the first panel: youtu.be/A9PIUG2fjcQ

I did a quick sketch last week of a cityscape, and a few people were wondering how I was able to draw it without going through too much trouble, so I redrew the piece and made a little tutorial for it! Obviously this looks very rough as it was meant to be and also because I made it in a real hurry for demonstration purposes, so please excuse some of the ridiculous looking buildings and other illogical appearances. to create more precise cityscapes using this method, simply stop using the brush tool and use line tool/polygonal lasso tool—even using the brush tool and holding down shift is fine—instead to create precise, straight lines. The slower you do this process the more accurate your final piece will be, however the premise of this method is that if you want/need to do it fast, you can.

I hope this is helpful to some of you, and good luck!

Something I painted a couple of months ago for Legend of the Cryptids! Sorting through some files and finding all sorts of older paintings. Even if I'm not super happy with them anymore, I'm thinking about uploading a few to be a little more active here. What do you think? Do you want to see more stuff like this? :)

. Adobe After Effects

Download it of you cannot see it up there!

Thank you thank you thank you! LOOK AT ME WORLD I'M FABULOUS NOW

Good guys, I would have never believed in so much success for this thing, it has been a shock for me and I really fell from the chair when I saw all your comments, favourites and support! I just have to say you bunches of thanks :') and the promise that YES EVEN CHARMANDER AND BULBASAUR WILL DO SOMETHING SIMILAR SOON [or at least in the next four months pfffrt]

don't forget to check out the rest of my gallery too! I know i know only pokemon fan art is cool :P

HUH AND DON'T LURE ME TO ADD THE MEGA EVOLUTION! I know it'd be badass, but I planned this animation as it presents to your view, and it won't be cooler if I add the Mega Evo right there. Maybe in a future animation ;)

______

AND SO HERE WE ARE GOD I KIND OF LOST TEN YEARS OF LIFE DOING THIS CRAP I CAN'T BELIEVE I FINALLY FINISHED IT HOLY FUCK IT'S ALL YOURS I HATE IT AND CAN'T SEE A SINGLE FRAME ANYMORE WITHOUT FREAKIN OUT AHAHAHAAHAHHAAAAAHA

This has been just a mad idea for two long months.
... since when I started the rough animation in the late February.
... til middle April.
... in which I retook this project in hands and then cleanupped and colored it all.

I spent about 10-15 days of work in total, to render this thing as you can see it.
I involved about 98% of my total potential and skills in 2D animation/Toon Boom/After Effect/sleepless nights.


I enjoyed drawing each frame, but I also learned to hate it 

:iconrlyplz:

And now enjoy the result. 

:iconrlytearplz:

I think there are still bunches of errors in it, 
from animated shadows to wrong color combinations, 
but I really don't give a fuck anymore
