Is the seasons of the mushroms?

Great work friend, i like your cartoon style, itĀ“s so personal.

One question Ralf: You rendered the image in four passes and then you use Photoshop, but the question is you put all the passes in differents layer and apply a low oppacity?

Thanks.

Very good image :slight_smile:

#15

YOUR WORK LOOKS GREAT!!!
That unique cartoonish style works very well. It realy makes you believe that a vampire looking mushroom can really exist in your backyardā€¦so be carefull next time you go thereā€¦:smiley:

But I have one question.
What is that 4 passes thing? How do you get the 4 images in Zbrush:question:

#16

magic mushroom !!! :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :+1:

#17

yay! again you achieve this perfect airbrush/acrylics look on an excellently modeled figure, in fact even better this time since you managed to get more depth into the mushroom as opposed to your (albeit excellent) ferengi render, but that is likely due to the light setup. apart from the magnificent technical side, I REALLY love your cartoony style, please spoil us some more!!

#18

haha this is great work, i cant wait till im able to pull work off like this.
Great cartoony style, lot of character in it, mind you it makes me think ive picked one too many mushrooms :wink:

I was wondering if you could make a more indepth tutorial or explanation on how you acheived this??

Thanks for your time and sharing your work!

Great style , great technique. Keep it up

#20

I love this image, it is very creative and has tons of imagination. The rendering is also really nice, keepā€™em coming:D

#21

Great to see another fan of Rodney Matthewsā€™ goblin-eating toadstools :wink:

There are no references online that I can find, but the original appears in the ā€œCountdown to Millenniumā€ bookā€¦

Thanks to ilusiondigital, Strannik, cosmic_fool, Zork, monstermaker and AztecSolja for comments.

Houdini: four pass rendering means that you render four different images (different shader and/or different Light)

and then compose these images in a composing package like Photoshop.

spasmodic_cheese: sorry, in the moment I have no time to make an indepth tutorial. But I keep it in mind.

NLightUK: You have right, I am a great fan from RM and I think I have all his books. And from time to time I take a look.

But during the work on the fungus I havenā€™t see any picture from RM. Maybe it was in my mind. I hope Iā€™m far enough away

with my fungus, if not, itā€™s only a fun work not for commercial use.

Ralf

Was simply pleased to see such a great rendition of one of my favorite Rodney Matthews critters! :+1: Iā€™d love to see 3 of them together, surrounded by broken goblin weapons and skeletal remains, as in the original composition by RMā€¦maybe a project for when you get another spare moment!

FYI - the only thing I noticed different in your version is that yours has no little arms to grab the unwary goblin! Apart from thatā€¦super work - I keep meaning to recreate some of RMā€™s characters (such great design) but never seem to find the time.

Your posts (along with most of the forumā€™s membership!) continue to be an inspiration - thanks for sharing! :slight_smile:

BTW - the original is on pg 100 of ā€œCountdown to Millenniumā€ (not sure what the title was in german!)ā€¦part of ā€œThe Nastiesā€ proposed TV series.

great image,well done:+1:

#25

just beautiful!

how did you make the eyes look so real??

#26

I think this an awesome pic, but I would try and keep the shine on the snail, but not his shell, and under the mushroom cap, but not on top, and about 40% on the stem.
Obviously your going for style, and not realism, but I think you could make it realistic without loosing any of the style. Even with the all that shine everywhere it still needs some contrast, and that would add a little realism, and contrast all in one shot IMHO. Although Iā€™d try, and keep the eyes, and teeth nice and shinny I think.

Great job nevertheless. :smiley: :+1:

#27

Great work, impressive!

Have you thought of animating this character? It would be very impressive/magic to see it/him move!

Again, great work!

:+1: :+1:

#29

He looks a little evil, and the snake is the personified stupid meal
very cool :):+1:

Keep up the good work!!
