Hi everyone!
I just discovered Hive and Peakd platform, and I'm excited to discover all these new platforms, which look very promising. I haven't got it all figured out yet, as there seem to be many different platforms and communities, but it will come gradually. :D
Let me first introduce you a digital painting that I made :
I realized it for a character design challenge, which give us every month a different theme. This one was "Dino rider" ; after many researches, I found the idea of representing some dino tourists on a tricératops, like tourists on elephants.
Unfortunately this painting was made on a hard disk that crashed ; so, I have only the final result but not the complete file to show you the process.
I first search for a nice color palette, then search about references, such as how they dress elephants for tourists, and so on. I finally add some textures to my images ; it's an important thing to keep in mind when you do an illustration by computer, to remove this impression too pure of the digital painting and give charm, a bit like the textures that give traditional techniques.
So.. I hope you will enjoy it! Don't hesitate to leave a comment, I will be happy with it.
Have a nice day, see you soon! :)
