Nice!  I use a different 3D modeling program but I like those details :D

Cute style, i like it! c:

@wierd: Hot damn, that's some awesome furniture right there. Also, slightly unrelated question: Is the first one made in Blender? Because i recall it having a render background with that exact blue colour, back when i dabbled in it. I suppose it could just be a standard background, but hey!

Also, last night i got into a bit of an odd mood, possibly inspired by Jopax's "zoning out" paintings. I tried doing the same thing here...

Which, frankly, turned out pretty terribly. Then again, it does make about as much sense as the inside of my head does. :U
AND THEN AFTERWARDS, i tried doing something that wasn't... Well terrible and abstract.

Might yet fiddle with this some more, because i'm not sure i like the super blurry brush strokes (and, as another bromate mentioned, the light colour isn't quite adequate).

I like the first one more, like some twisted nightmare or something, possibly an acid trip during night. Second one is too blurry and too dark, but keep at it, most people starting digital painting have trouble with hard and defined edges.

Anyways, since I don't want to doublepost or edit have this roughly two hour piece:


Based roughly off of this one:

Very sleek and cool! But why did you opt for such an uninspiring image composition?

Mostly because I'm trying to get down the technicalities, the perspective and all that. Sort of a study of the starting piece with some minor modifications to make it slightly more dynamic.

Anyways, preliminary pen sketch of something I'm working on for a friend:


Edit:

Here's the first WIP, a single Multiply layer, looking better than I expected :D

I was working on painting without a pencil sketch, no real intent, but I ended up with this:



Not the best, and I'm still not quite happy with how unclean edges are, but it was good practice, and much better than previous attempts without pencil lines.

Interesting tutorial, I had been kinda doing stuff like that already, using erasers to give hard edges.  I'm not a huge fan of making each brush stroke its own layer, but it would probably help for me to use more layers while painting.  I do it when I color my sketches, I guess i've just got a mindset that you should be able to paint everything in on one layer (like you paint on a single canvas) but digital brushes don't give you enough control for that.

Also I think i'm going to watch some more bob ross to pick up simple techniques for landscapes.

Not neccessarily each stroke, but grouping certain things together can make painting complex things much much easier in terms of cleaning up the edges and the whole piece in general. While painting everything on a single layer has its charms and is great fun to do, refusing to do so is denying an immense amount of advantages digital painting offers. Also for landscape techniques you would probably benefit most from watching several different artists doing it, this gives a great variety that you can pick and choose from your favourite ones.

Might yet fiddle with this some more, because i'm not sure i like the super blurry brush strokes (and, as another bromate mentioned, the light colour isn't quite adequate).

Since CATIA is NURBS based, to get my creations into pretty much anything else, I have to export it into a polygonal mesh. Sadly, catia only speaks one polygonal language, and that happens to be the nearly useless stereolitho format. (.stl). Because of the rather.. hrm.. poor features of stl, I import that into blender, merge, group entity data, and apply textures.

I use blender, because it is free, and basically any output format can be built from it.

I uploaded a lion-less version of said wardrobe to Opengameart.org here.

Warning, the file uses over 300k polygons. It is not boned, rigged, or animated. But, if you want to use it in something, it's cc:by licensed, so just declare where you got it from, and its OK.

I have that executive desk in blender format laying around someplace too, but I forget where. I would happily make static objects like this if anyone asked. I put extra effort into the wardrobe though, because an IRL friend asked for it specifically. (He's a CS Lewis fan. Screw disney.)

I might possibly consider making furniture meshes (without textures. That's DIY.) On request if anyone wants one. Just have a sample picture of the kind of furniture to show me o. Hand.

Some random splurges of colour ended up with me trying my hand at space art :D

Jopax, I don't know how to to say this, but...

The middle of your nebula looks kinda... well... phallic.

HAHA! I've done it! I used Blender to create a 2D animation (after drawing in GIMP, and converting them to .gifs in GIMP afterwards), after failing at anything else free with keyframes that I tried! Take that, person who said using Blender in such a way would only produce terrible things! Yeah, not smooth, I forgot to deal with that first.
