PaintStop Gallery

[PMRRRI]

Started sketching in Paintstop right away. This is part of my concept for the GA Comicon Challenge.

Thanks for this Pixologic!

Outstanding stuff!!! It’s nice to see the impressionistic side of what ZBrush can do and see the artists expression they given with PaintStop. In a way it removes the digital feeling a bit that 3d has and shows the unique feeling the artist expresses.

Well, splodge, you’ve pretty much summed up how I feel about 3D and why I’ve gone back to 2D (mostly vector) for the bulk of my work. For the most part, 3D is all about making things look photorealistic. Ten years ago, it was exciting and new, but now it’s getting a bit stale, IMO. 3D software does a great deal of the work for you… subdividing, smoothing, morphing, casting shadows, rendering reflections, refraction, subsurface scattering, ambient occlusion, etc… I’m sure you’ve seen a shedload of 3D work that’s simply a virtual re-creation of what can be accomplished in the real world with a camera. IMO, 3D is much more technique-oriented–trying to cram as much “photographic” detail into a model/scene as possible–while 2D is typically more creative and idea driven, especially in this computer age.

I totally sympathize. I’ve puzzled over why some people spend weeks making detailed 3D and then having only a 2D rendered image to show for it. I’ve actually questioned this before on these forums. Some of my first posts were motivated by my confusion over why we’re spending so much time using 3D to create 2D images. I wanted to see that cool 3D stuff in 3D!.

I’m sure Michelangelo wouldn’t have sculpted the David statue if he knew people would only ever see his statue in 2D. He would’ve saved himself a lot of time and painted it instead!.

There is a lot of ZBrush users that work in the games industry where realism sells. I myself love seeing realistic 3D environments and so I totally see the point of their work.

There is still some 2D imagery that I appreciate and see the point of. And like you I’ve also considered going back to creating simple imagery that’s more about the ideas rather than the realism.

Uma Thurman workflow, http://rapidshare.com/files/264953443/UmaEye_Cherea_workflow_test.rar this is no simply photo edited…

Please download, thankyou!

cheers

even if its not a photo edit, its a paint over. the skill of doing it indirectly and doing it on top are completely different and this is what distinguishes a real artist from the rest.

sorry, but its still shouldnt be on the top row.

Thanks Etcher
which one the frame or the doodle:lol:

i disagree mr. warpy :p. its true that a real artist can do it from scratch but if that same artist does some indirect paintover to save precious time than i say its A-OK as long as he is able to do it without that help. there are alot of other 2d related works that require the knowledge of art principles and drawing skills that an untrained artist won’t be able to do so he will be limited to this type of work (paintovers). my point is, its not the tools or technique, but the quality of style and personality that an artist shows.

i honestly dont think he had a deadline… i will even bet that his indirect approach will lack the finish this paintover has.

i look forward to more gallery entries, and hope that the discussion of “what is art” would continue here :

also, as far as paintovers go i found this really nice one on 4chan last night, what i like is that part of it is still nearly photorealistic and then it morphs into a more painterly style, i think that if the uma was more in this fashion there would be less argument. edit i found out its by : http://elreicarmesi.deviantart.com/art/Saoirse-Ronan-106329606
