ok a new chop im working on im trying out a new style of brushing for me its more like painting lol
i dont own a tablet so its done with the mouse but ive got a little bit of experiance painting so i thought il give it a try to use that with chopping.

i want to try make this a real good chop would be nice if you can give me some design ideas aswell as help out with perspective( my biggest problem -_- )

Wip2


ok added more detail if your thinking theres ruff edges its because so far its completley freehand brush like a painting i havnt touched the pen tool or any other selection tool.
need some pointers the front seems to be a little off il try fixing that soon.

Wow cool technique!

thanks its my first time trying this technique too lol

WIP4
added BG colours for relefections etc
the front had some perspective issues tried to fix them too,
also added some more detail.



WIP5
working on the detail anyone have any suggestion on design?

oh, oldskool dm member
my idea for design would be to to get rid of all those extra spikes and do a clean design
but interesting style to do with mouse, i have really hard time doing that with mouse even if i paint too

hey nordic yeh i kinda of changed my name to Redz from Epyon
yeh il take your idea into consideration i was starting to think all those spiky bits were getting abit too much too lol.

Working on reflections and detail now.
also working on background.
Rims are ther just for referance most likley il change them

Amazing ! The technique is to use low opacity brush and do it a lot of time to have something homogeneous?

the whole thing looks melted or somehow distorted to me
angle of road on bg is bit weird too, check the lowleft corner?

thanks for the tips

Fierce
yeh its kind of like that the technique is very much like that of speedpainting
i used a low opacity hard brush rather than the normal softbrush it all seems to work well for detail and reflections etc

only downside is Like Nordic man said becuase i didnt really use the pen tool or any seelection tool until near the end of the chop things have started to look a little distorted.

thanks nordic il try fixing the road in higher res you dont really notice that melted look but but i think that might be becuase of the refs il trying looking at them too might finish the chop in the next few mins
