RE: PLJ's SW Fan Art Collection - 1/24 Tons of New Non-SW WPs: Smallville
|
Yikes! I somehow managed to miss a whole lot of additions here (but mostly one theme!  )! I can see what you mean when you say "obsession!" That's a lot of Clark and Lois! These are all great, but I find myself leaning more toward the "less busy" ones, with one or two foreground images and perhaps one b/g, with text (or no). I'm a real "less-is-more" kind of w/p fan, and those are the ones I like the best! "Snuggle," I think, is my favorite--just because it's very simple, and it seems like a kind of candid moment where neither of them is thinking of anything else...  All wonderful (and can't wait until the SW bug bites again!)!

Many thanks! If you love SV as much as I do, please stop by my SV fansite (link in my siggy) I've got GOBS of new artwork there to peruse!
FF
Less is more, eh? I just can't go for simplicity when it comes to wallpapers. Usually if I'm actually staring at my wallpapers it's because I'm waiting impatiently for my computer to reboot. I figure I'd rather have my eyes feasting on lots of stuff 
When did I last post these? A month ago? God I love coming back to this place. I look at the stuff I posted in December and am amazed at how much my Photoshopping skills have improved.
Good lord things have seriously changed w/ my artwork. Ever since I first saw AcademyGrad use poster edges in Photoshop I've been trying to create my own comic book style for images using Photoshop. After hounding a friend over on Kryptonsite for one of his methods for cleaning up photos I've got it!
Sometimes they come out looking more like watercolors-but it all depends on photo quality.
So here are a couple of my favorite recent SMALLVILLE wallpapers AND a brand new Anakin/Padme piece!
I have gobs more new SV stuff but won't keep assaulting you all with it
Word of warning - all of the grass on this might fry your eyeballs FF if you come in here

Beautiful update of wallpapers, PLJ--and big congrats on the contest win, too! I especially love the "Destiny" piece--showing the innocent child against the flame-eyed Sith he eventually becomes is very powerful. Lovely--and very deserving of the honor!

Glad you liked that piece - I thought it came out nicely also
Kennyboy
Oh thanks so much! You can pretty much check my SV site daily - I'm nearly always posting new art on it.
Glad you liked the Ani-Padme piece!
Jada
Hey girl! Thanks for stopping by!
Here's a general question to anyone out there who might know - do you know of any sites w/ ultra hi-res photos for STAR WARS? A few weeks back my lovely browser decided to just dump all of my bookmarks so if I had any bookmarked they're long gone.
I'd love to make some more SW art especially since I'm at a point where my artwork has really reached a whole new level and I'd love to go back now and do some SW stuff also. But I can't do it w/o hi-res photos - I've become a hi-res snob
Here are a few of my recent Smallville & Supernatural pieces that I'm most proud of...once I can get my hands on hi-res caps from STAR WARS - SW art will be back!

Hey PLJ--quite a nice splash of wallies here! Bright colors, good images and compositions--and so sorry to hear you lost all your favorite pages for SW! Take a look here for some good hi-res images--I've found a few to draw from there, too. We have an Official Reference Materials Thread here in the forum, with sites found and used by other artists--that might give you some results, too. Hope you can find some of what you need!

Hey FF - thanks for the links. Our dear Moddess already gave me that link and I've been having a good time preusing it - that was one of the ones that I lost, so I'm happy to get it back
Alright so this week was an awesome episode of SMALLVILLE where there was a giant fight between Clark and a Titan a Phantom Zoner. I made this wallpaper from it and was so impressed by how it came out that I'm going to start cranking out the SW art again. I still seriously want super duper hi-res pics though - the ones I found were good but I prefer even larger pics. Oh well - these will work for now.
Hope you all like the new wallpaper - I'll try to get more SW stuff out soon

RE: PLJ's SW Fan Art Collection -3/25 new Smallville & Ani/Obi Duel Art!
|
Whoa! Clark actually gets beat up by this...Titan? Poor Superman! Wild images there--lots of action shots. And the colors on the duel piece are almost hard on my eyes (of course, I'm looking at it at the end of a long day...so that probably doesn't help!)--again, a lot of action shots. For wallies like these, you might want to pepper the "action shots" around some "mood face shots:" for instance, with the Vader/Kenobi duel, have a close-up of each of their faces at some point in the fight somewhere in the frame--it both pulls you into each combatant's eyes and mind, then throws you back into the battle, as shown by the action shots... Just an idea, or maybe something you could experiment with at another time.
Who knew Clark could get scuffed up that way...?

*Wanders in popping knuckles*
Hi everyone! Remember me? No? So I'm gearing up to try my hand again at some Star Wars artwork, but for right now I'm skirting the franchise w/ my first foray back into the arena.
First off - feedback:
FF
Whoa! Clark actually gets beat up by this...Titan? Poor Superman! Wild images there--lots of action shots.

I really wanted to get some more close-up shots for that duel one but, sadly I didn't have any hi-res, or even low res pics that I could use. I just picked up a new program that allows me to cap directly off of my DVDs so I'll now be able to get whatever hi-res digital quality pics that I want for using - so I'm no longer limited w/ whatever photos I can find online (which, sadly, isn't easy to find.)
I also know that the oranges were a bit eye screaming - sorry about that - I've learned A LOT about working my digital art since I posted those last images. The Combat/SV is still one of favs for action though - I'm glad you liked it

Nice wallpapers, you are very good and those colours are brilliant
Thanks - bright vivid colors have become my signature style for creating digital artwork, I'm glad you liked them
Anyways - the first DVD I cracked out was my RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK dvd- I really like how this wall came out and am excited about thinking of doing more LFL artwork again.
I got inspired to do this after I did a wall from the original SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE:
I'm still hopelessly addicted to doing Smallville artwork, but I'm trying to branch out to other things
I'll just showcase one of my recent SV pieces that I just love - then hopefully the next time I come back in, I'll have some SITH wallpapers done
If anyone's interested in perusing more of my recent Smallville art, you can do so on my Smallville website.

RE: PLJ's SW Fan Art Collection - 8/7 - New Raiders of the Lost Ark Wall

Very cool wallies! Of them all, though, my favorite has to be the Raiders piece!  Go, Indy! **waves fangirly pom-poms** Nice filters you used for these, giving them a very "painterly" quality--I like! [Indy]"...Snakes...why'd it have to be snakes...?"[/Indy] LOL!
As with all your work, the compositions are all very pleasing, and the image selections are wonderful (Lois, chin in hands in the Superman piece, is just perfect! **nodding** ). All are excellent!

Yeah I've been dying to do some Indy art - especially w/ all of the new Indy 4 pics that are starting to come out! I figure I'll probably do some more since I just love those films.
A few months ago I sorta figured out what I was trying to do w/ my style that I've developed for my artwork, I've been desperately trying to mirror the painted Japanese SW/EU covers. They're not exactly the same but those are my main inspiration. I just love turning photos into illustrations, they always make my pieces really stand apart and are easily identifiable to people
Glad you liked the composition of the Superman wall too. I'm rather pleased w/ that one. I've been working over the last couple of months at trying to perfect 'blending' in Photoshop which isn't easy when I've applied all of my filters to my photos. Apparently I live to make things even harder on myself
Alright so FF - I made this one tonight using your suggestions about my last piece. As I mentioned I finally have some capping software so I could get my own shots that I wanted to use! YAY! This one I also applied some extra filters to tone down the bright yellows so hopefully it won't burn your eyes out as much as the first one that I did.
