chani update

Post by cowsmanaut »

My chani image is being printed in a vampire book of all things.. so I decided to update it since it had to be repainted anyway.. so much more detail.

Very realistic background...how did you get it?

I must admit that while the rest is great, i prefer the face of the original better

by using realistic elements and painting over them. I used real rocks and painted shadows around them to make them fit.. for some parts I had to paint in my own but for the most part.. to update this I didn't want to have to take too long, and painting them all by hand from scratch would have taken too long. I essentially did what we do in 3D to make a realistic texture.. borrow a bit from life and then use our imagination.

As for the face, I had to repaint it. It looked a little too much like someone and they didn't want it in print the size it would end up being. so this is why it's so different.

Very nice picture - could you make an avatar out of that one? Or does anyone object?

The girl's head, of course, if you ask me. It's Chani, not the skeleton that is a character. It'll only be a glimpse from the original picture, but I like the look she casts down a lot.

PitD: How do you know the skeleton isn't a character? ;-)

Well I don't know it's name at least. But maybe someone wants a skeleton as an avatar... you never know 8)
