I’m reading a book on Hokusai (great japanese painter 1760-1849)…
Hi have seen the “CALI challenge” and i wish start a similar thread.
Here is a painting of Hokusai (one of the 36 views of Fuji):

Here is the BW image (jpg):

Hi Cameyo
Cool idea… :cool: The Ukiyo-e Art :cool: “Pictures of the floating world” :cool:

The previous Perpetual Cali Challenge :cool:

The more astonished site of
Japanese Prints ! :eek: :eek: :eek: (including the Fuji view of course, not by Hokusai :slight_smile: :rolleyes:
Another good one(including Fuji View By Hokusai this time :slight_smile:
Another Crazzy Gallery of Japanese Prints (all Styles) :slight_smile:
Have fun Surfing and Zbrush colorizing :cool:

Ps Can you put your B&W image in an object + Texture for the Demo Users ?
Pss Sponsorized by Fuji colors ? :slight_smile:

Warning, ZB will STILL NOT import 8 bit bitmaps, so if you want to import this bitmap document into ZB first save it as a 24 bit bitmap in some other app.

#4

Great idea :smiley:

#5

beautiful as usual.

#6

…imagine a script who scan canvas, get color, paint a dot with random alpha, random Zadd or Zsub,…ecc.

Hi Cameyo
Very cool try :cool:
Your next thinking is an automatic art making :slight_smile:
We want keep some control :slight_smile:
A world where robots make art and will be seen by other robots is a nightmare for human :smiley:
Asimov rules broken :smiley:

Pilou, try to colorize the Fuji…
Thank you KingSalami to point out my error: now the bitmat is 24 bit.

okay :slight_smile:

here are my attempts ( no nudity - except for a tiny sprite buried within Fuji and therefore not visible :wink:

#10

Cool. You can really see how the whole anime style is a development of earlier japanese works.

#11

Adeblov: very cool try.
Sleepservice: some works of Hokusai are called “manga”…
And this is what Hokusai wrote about himself in his autobiography. It is the quintessence of his art philosophy:
“From the age of five I have had a mania for sketching the forms of things. From about the age of fifty I produced a number of designs, yet of all I drew prior to the age of seventy there is truly nothing of great note. At the age of seventy-two I finally apprehended something of the true quality of birds, animals, insects, fish and of the vital nature of grasses and trees. Therefore, at eighty I shall have made some progress, at ninety I shall have penetrated even further the deeper meaning of things, at one hundred I shall have become truly marvelous, and at one hundred and ten, each dot, each line shall surely possess a life of its own. I only beg that gentlemen of sufficiently long life take care to note the truth of my words.”
I will post some image of this artist on Community Forum.

I started with the original picture for this and did a little post work in PSP (greyscaled it & inverted) but mostly Z work…

Sorry this one is not Zbrush because anybody has made a file with an 3D object + Texture for the demo user ! :frowning:
It’s just a reduce of these one from the
Relaxing challenge with Artrage :slight_smile:(page down)
