A new image done in Photoshop 7. Scanned drawing, scanned textures applied (hand made paper).
Lots of customised brushes. Reference used (the girl was constructed studying photos of around 10 models; not an easy pose).
Comments and critiques welcome as always!]]> Wed, 19 Dec 2007 17:37:25 +0000 http://peyotero.cgsociety.org/gallery/568596

Image done in Photoshop from scanned drawing. Some reference used for the beasts, the forest and the character's costumes and weapons.
Custom Photoshop 7 brushes used, specially for the foreground leaves. Painting forests is not a painful job anymore.
Comments and critiques welcome. Thanks in advance!]]> Mon, 03 Dec 2007 19:32:14 +0000 http://peyotero.cgsociety.org/gallery/521794

Character for a graphic novel. In this world, some humans make some money helping the elves to scape from the maquiladoras (sweat shops) in where they work as virtual slaves. They have to avoid the usual orcish (mercenary) patrols.
Done in Photoshop with custom and modified dry media brushes, over a scanned pencil drawing. Reference used for some elements (helmets, weapon, embroidery). I have applied here all the useful critique received at my previous image (thanks guys!).

Character design for a graphic novel in development. A human 'Pollera" -In this world, Polleros are those who help the fugitive elves to cross the deadlands-, is about to fight a group of nasty creatures that usually pray on helpless elves.
Lots of custom dry media brushes, hair brush and a special brush for tree leaves. Embroidery patterns added in multiply and overlay layers. C&C welcome as always. I hope you like it!]]> Fri, 06 Jul 2007 22:39:55 +0000 http://peyotero.cgsociety.org/gallery/509919

I am still experimenting with Photoshop dry media brushes.
I have tweaked them a lot, changing scatter, texture and other features to fit my style.
Photoshop users: remember these useful keyboard shortcuts: [ and ] for increasing or decreasing brush size.
Numbers 1 to 0 to increase / decrease brush opacity. They save me a lot of time!
Comments and crits welcome. Thanks!]]> Fri, 22 Jun 2007 21:31:19 +0000 http://peyotero.cgsociety.org/gallery/503970

Another illustration made from a scanned pencil drawing, over a background scanned paper texture.
This is a character design for a comic. I was thinking: maybe she needs more highlights in her clothes. What do you think?

An illustration made from a scanned pencil drawing.
Background texture is a hand made paper.
Modified dry media brushes used here, trying to get a natural look.
I am not sure if some elements, like the jars or the girl's skin needs more work.

An image done some time ago.
Scanned pencil drawing done over Canson paper, with color added in Photoshop (dry media brushes).
Comments and critique welcome. Thanks!]]> Fri, 04 May 2007 22:10:08 +0000 http://peyotero.cgsociety.org/gallery/492139

This image was done after recovering it from a hard disk crash. Photoshop mostly, with scanned paper textures added in layers with multiply/overlay modes.
The girl's dress also has a celtic filigree I made some time ago from a scanned motif. The blue glass vessels were done in Bryce and retouched in Photoshop. The metal frame for the window was retraced in Illustrator.
No photo references used this time.

A personal interpretation of the classic tale, as a fantasy pinup.
Scanned drawing as usual. Photoshop coloring. Scanned textures applied (hand made papers) in various modes (multiply, soft light).
A slight drop texture -for the background wall- added in Painter.
Some photo references were used (leather boots and girl's arms and hands).
Comments welcome!]]> Wed, 04 Apr 2007 00:05:36 +0000 http://peyotero.cgsociety.org/gallery/481509

An illustration made in Photoshop -with a Wacom Intuos tablet- from a scanned drawing.
Some scanned textures were added to the girl's outfit. Photo references were loosely used for the Llama's fur and for the girl's lighting.
Please critique the general appearance. Does the foreground figure need more saturation? Comments welcome. Thanks!]]> Mon, 02 Apr 2007 22:48:59 +0000 http://peyotero.cgsociety.org/gallery/481508

An illustration made from a scanned pencil drawing.
Color work done mostly in Photoshop (with a Wacom Intuos tablet), with some texture effects applied in Painter.
My intention was to obtain a stylized image of two particular characters, in their appropriate environment.
Please critique the character's appearance. Comments welcome. Thanks in advance.]]> Mon, 02 Apr 2007 22:45:43 +0000
