I like the one with the purples - reminds me of finger painting art - cool technique.
Keep the Journey going.Last edited by SpaceMan; 08-28-09 at 02:12 PM.

Was deciding which tutorials to buy next, saw the rockface alpha and thought, how hard can that be?
As it turns out, there were probably things I could learn about work flow, certainly in scaling my rockface to replicate it around my scene, the larger versions show off some distinct lack of res/detail, and I was very clumsy in matching alphas to my sculpted details... (and I probably shouldn't have snakehooked a tree either) still I liked the result enough to do a pretend matte from it... a nice way to spend 3 1/2 hours on a friday afternoon
The weekend!!! (probably spend it with zbrush, provided the missus doesn't mind too much)

I lke the snake hooked tree, and the blown from below direction of the branches lends some power to the environment. First impression is tgood my eye goes to the holw in the wall on the right because of the clarity in the air there, maybe it could do with another tree or some other element to brake it up just abit over the hole.

Ditto Point's comment on the tree. I think go back to the basic render (with fog off) and add some detailing with the noise brush on the rocks to me they seem a little to smooth but that's just mho.

Thanks Point, Spaceman... have to agree to both points.
I hadn't planned this pic and it does show
Compositionally (for interest) it's quite lacking, but then it was just a pretend matte to see how good/useful the rock face needed to be.
Will try the tip of using the noise brush ... must have missed that.
I was trying for all sculpt with the rockface, but because I didn't pull it off that well I ended up tarting some bits up in PS when adding the figures, bells etc. Will plan it next time and compose it properly and with a better sense for workflow with the rocks ... ...hopefully
Here's another doodle, this time for the love... I used to dream about getting this kind of texture into my work at art school; always loved all those textural abstract expressionists... used the fun pack alphas a lot in this latest version, they were a bargain, and by far the most exquisite alphas I've come across!

After learning a fair bit about workflow from what I did wrong with the rockface doodle, I'm contemplating doing it properly, with some forethought, a prelim sketch and everything this time (i'm so lazy
)
Layered in the bits from the first doodle that worked for me, and worked round that... a bit rough and ready, but starting to work
Probably want to bring some colour into the foreground, and squeeze a mountain goat (figuratively speaking) into the fore-shadows bottom right
'Pilgrimage' sketch in Paint Stop
Point, your suggestion about a tree in the foreground was a good one; I think I need to go much bolder with it than what i've done here ... (but need to stop for the evening and walk around a bit!!!!)

Great, you could switch the foreground tree so that the roots are growing towards and into the hole, and put a rock ledge in the bottom left corner that we are standing on to view the scene. I like the new statue, even though the shoulders are drawn up which is the opposite of relaxed, it has a more mystical appearance. Maybe some prayer flags along the fence line.

One final update on the concept.
May try the sculpt again when I get my scary new machine and zb3.5... eeep, can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ditto on 3.5. I like the frailty that you captured in the flags they always appear so tissue paper like in those documentary shots and yet they survive all that wind, I suspect you may have slipped a few local supporter flags in there. The archway is great it seems as though it is almost on the vanishing point and has created a strong vertical line through that section, dividing the piece in half somehow. I was admiring the effect and imagining the monk was walking away from just installing a new rope for prayer flags, and then thought what if he had been sitting in the lotus position on the edge by the new rope, reflecting the attitude of the Buddha, must be cold in that robe.
Looking foward to more.
P.s. What is the machine specs you are getting.
