Another personal 'advanced' test to explore the new texture abilities of Krita 2.7 pre-alpha ( dev) on I started it out of a chaos of values as I'm used to do when I want to play with my imagination ( thanks to the Experimental tool + displacement in Krita , I even don't switch to Al.chemy anymore ) and I also wanted to make a big panorama view , as in epic concept-art of old Final Fantasy. ( one of my 'forever' inspiration ) I ended with an open restaurant on the streets where you can obviously eat water-dragon or dragon-fish. A bit cheesy, a melting pot of random design ... a test with crushed blacks and saturated colors ... Bleee. Well, I'm not really happy about the result, thats why I didn't really polished it, but surprisingly I learned a lot on the process. Time for the next one.
absolutely gorgeous!! i love the transition of the color spectrum. by your example, krita sounds like a program i dont want to miss!! ill have to take a look at it. anyway, great work! :>
I really like these "slice-of-life" fantasy images - depicting the normal daily life of a fantasy world. Most often all you see are epic fights or impressive vistas ... sometime the people are just gonna have ordinary days as well!
Really nice image with lots of details to look at. Clever range of colours from left to right. If I may offer some slight critique it is that feel the contrast between the yellow and green on the right is a tad too extreme - it's hard to imagine that green light really infuences the foreground that much.
At first glance I thought the elf girl was a blacksmith hammering on a sword. I like the fact that she's working in a fantasy restaurant a lot more though, as said you don't often get to see stuff like that in a fantasy image. All the characters exist naturally in the scene, everyone has a purpose and you can picture them to have a goal and a back story. Great stuff!
(on a side note, I'm just (finally) trying out Krita 2.7 pre-alpha more thoroughly. It's a lot faster and more stable on my machine than previous versions have been - promising. I'm also testing and experimenting with your v2 brush kit, thanks for that. ) . Griatch
I like to imagine that somewhere hidden in this image is Anthony Bourdain, staring blankly into the horizon. And then he has some of that dragonfish 'cause that looks delicious.
Oh thanks ! I have project to update this article in a near future, at least before June for sure. Since this time I had more tablets, tested ergotron arm for Cintiq deeply, also had pad and phone with stylus. So much to add
