Digital Art -- Hit Us With Your Best Shot(s) #3

I'm a photographer (mostly) and a COMPLETE digital novice. I cannot compare to you talented people. Having put forth that "disclaimer", I did this one in Inkscape and pulled a pdf version of it into Photoshop and I can't remember what I did to it from there ;-):

I would like to share my newest, Musical Bubbles.

@Mary - Not bad for a newb. I see much potential there. :-)

@Phyllis - Cool bubbles! Wish I could get those for the bath.

Owl Fractal Art

A dramatic duo, in red and gold -

Just finished this one...

Some Megaman artwork I did a few years ago. They were featured in a Mega Man Tribute artbook that was published by a company called Udon:

I am re-bumping this thread from a few months ago, because it does appear to be an artform a lot of folks dabble in these days, yet often gets overlooked.

I started using DAZ about 18 months ago, and being completely new to the artform, I did think I would struggle to ever come to grips with it. In the first few months I did just that, but then started texturing my own models and configuring them how I wanted them to appear. Whilst I am still learning alot of what this package offers, I have managed to use it to my advantage in my work. It often gets dismissed in professional 3D circles, but perfect for a beginner!

This is my most recent one and to date the one I am most proud of!

I love what it has enabled me to do figuratively, and will continue to enjoy it's versatility.

Thanks for bring our thread back to life - when interest prevails -- it's a good thang ;)

Welcome & an invitation to all 3d modeling afficianados -- Ifour -- I see you're already a member :) Digital and Traditional 3D Modeling group

Your links aren't working for me though ...you last 2 bring up page not found -- the first requires a log in ...?

With pleasure Carmen - I LOVE 3D art of late and is something I try my best to fit into my 2D projects. Just like everything, these often take time! And I do get far more stressed during 3D render times :)

Hmm I will look into this! thanks for telling me!

That link was actually just to my AW website - not sure why it won't let folks view it :(

I don't stress during render times -- just work on other projects --always have several underway -- or walk away ;)





~ Carmen Hathaway ~

I removed those links. Yes I am a member I think of your group, but may not have submitted latest - I wasn't sure if you were OK with NSFW stuff?

Not Safe For Work - NSFW - probably better suited to other venues -- I see in your portfolio there's lots of others to submit :)


~ Carmen Hathaway ~

OK Thanks Carmen - will look into it :)

Ah, digital art . . . how do I love thee? ;-)

Fantastic title goes with art of same caliber, Wendy ! :)

At the moment I'm experimenting with some new 3D modeling techniques...inspired by an art show I attended last week......


~ Carmen Hathaway ~

Mary -- re your comment "I did this one in Inkscape and pulled a pdf version of it into Photoshop and I can't remember what I did to it from there ;-): "

I take printscreens or screengrabs at various points in my work process -- come in very handy as referral for subsequent, or revisiting same projects.

Low resolution, save them as jpgs -- keep them in same folder with your project.

Thanks, Carmen! I've already received one email pointing out the 'typo' in that title.

People are fun! ;-)

Wendy -- funny like a bag of hammers at times -- but generally -- yes ;)

~ Lovely lilacs, Kay

~ going with the flow of imagination -- great hat trick Carolyn!

Completed today -- really enjoying this




~ Carmen Hathaway ~

Thanks for joining in Terril, Valerie & Harold ....

Original 3D modeling... Been into the process about a year & a half and just nicely hitting my stride... :)








~ Carmen Hathaway ~

Carmen, I'm loving your uber-Canadian season's greeting! :-)

Thanks Wendy..too much like fun :) More to come.....busy translating some old school cartooning ideas into 3D mode...world's my oyster :)



~ Carmen Hathaway ~

My newest blend of medias.

Fun to see what everyone's up to -- thanks JL, MM & Chuck....

Focus this a.m.'s been on creating a pal for my Canadian Hoser below -- another antler to go & some 'fine finishing' -- which, by the way is a term I learned in floral design where you learn to 'hide your mechanics' -- bridal bouquets are often heavily wired to ensure those ivy extensions stay put :)

I create the model building with basic primitives/spheres -- converting to a mesh which I then model further. Fascinating process....

Should have it complete later today...another antler to go, etc.

And now, a word from the littlest hoser.....



Original 3D modeling & way too much fun ;)


~ Carmen Hathaway ~

Hahaha, awesome card!

Thanks Paulo...sincerely, The Littlest Hoser ;)

Lighthouses are still, "My thing!" As always, this one at Point Robinson WA is hand-drawn digital using Paintbrush and Photoshop Elements as my digital art tools, brushes and canvases.

This was posted yesterday in honor of Veterans Day celebrated on the eleventh day of the eleventh month every year. The eleventh hour was when the Peace Treaty was signed at the end of World War One. I deliberately made this work nation-neutral. Many countries fought in WWI and each nation deserves to honor their military veterans.

Good to 'see' you Anne -- thanks for your shares!

Cheers, Barbara

Fab-U-all! :)

Great works everyone! One more fractal from me:

Great shares Chris, Tom & Matthias!


My new series underway #3 of 10 ... inspired by an incredible dancer at the gorgeous Peace Hills Trust Annual Native Art show I attended a couple of weeks ago... This dancer has earned the name 'Hydro' -- his energy is absolutely mind boggling.






~ Carmen Hathaway ~

My favorite is Vue, but I combine it with many others such as sculptris, blender, and poser.

For sure Daniel -- can't imagine staying with one mode. The new media combos are as unlimited in scope as imagination....

Multimedia appeals in digital & traditional mode.

Agree -- Vue's fun...Zbrush...Maya.etc.etc.etc.



~ Carmen Hathaway ~

My newest creation, fractal landscape in gold and purple:

hit # 500 with this image...

Beautiful,Tom
Does this qualify,Carmen, among the glitterati ? Most fun I've had!

This is a combination from one of my original wood cuts and digital art..Hope it qualifies as Digital Art

The digital muse is well occupied.... terrific variety of ideas & enthusiasm in your new media creations...thanks Matthias,Tom, Vivian, Harold & Kandy.

Matthias -- are you using Frax iOS app? Love the succulent textures!





~ Carmen Hathaway ~

Carmen: Yes, Frax is stunning, I love it and use it for some of my newer fractals. Here is another one of them:

Recognized the 'vibe' of the Frax app immediately Matthias...a fluidity in line ....apparently they're developing a desktop version also.


What amazing times we live in....gorgeous works, everyone :)



~ Carmen Hathaway ~

Attack of the Mandelbrot spaceship... ;-)

I've gone Unbearably CUTE:

Here are 2 digitized versions of a photo, I took years ago, of dear,dear Jill:

1...

and

2..

~ Matthias -- great concept! The fractal terrain's our proverbial oyster, isn't it?

~ Roger -- the digital muse looks good on you :) Jill -- what a cutie ...don't remember
seeing her in our 'Abominably Cute' thread ...What a terrific way to be with her again...

~ Mike -- great array!

Thanks for the shares everyone....let's go for a ride...

~ Carmen Hathaway ~

Love that fuschia vibe :)




Keeps firing on all cylinders ;)
