After working on some regular in-game shots, I decided to try something more 'abstract', so I went with every simmer's favorite little green icon. What I really want to work on is a small series of themed plumbob pictures, all with the little guy (or gal) as the central focus. I have a bunch of ideas for themes to try, but actually creating them is another story...this picture was a couple of days in the making and I'm still nitpicking a ton. I used a normal green plumbob icon and added several layers of brushes, coloring, grain, fog, filters, etc. This is the first image of the series, but it's all still a lot of practice, tutorials, hair-pulling, teeth-mashing, etc.....
Thanks for looking! Hope to be able to work on more of these soon (when I finally figure out what the hell I'm doing FOR REAL).
You know I actually hate that damn plumbob, but you've made it look nice! Good stuffs :)

ReplyDeleteThanks everyone :) This first one is sort of misty and dark (I hope it came out okay on different monitors o_O), and it definitely shows how far I have to go, but hopefully with enough practice I can come up with some other interesting ones in the future.

ReplyDeleteThat is so awesome looking! My sims would die if they could rock that Plumbob. I can't wait to see more.
ReplyDeleteThanks you two :D It's a silly little distraction to help me practice more, and unfortunately most of the ideas I have will be very hard for me to actually create with what little I know so far. But at least I can dump them all here! xD

ReplyDeleteOooh!! It's gawrgeous dahling!! Can't wait to see the rest!
ReplyDeletecel, you're awesome. I can't even figure out how to make a picture black and white with photoshop, so there is no way I could do what you just did. Keep it up, its beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteEveryone is their own toughest critic. If you don't think that's good, then we can't be looking at the same picture. The sims just gained like 298374 cool points thanks to you.
