Entry for the Paint-o-rama contest & present for Annakee's birthday!
Paint-O-rama's GRAND OPENING contest!
isnt lovely how i always procrastinate and never finish till a couple hours before the deadline?
^_^'
well, another simple wall again. It was supposed to be an UN-simple wall, but i dont know...now that i did one simple
wall, it seems like im stuck on them or something. Hmm...well, maybe its technically not a simple wall...but it looks
really really plain to me. I think its the nothing-ness in the bg.
I have no clue what painting is, or how to paint. I just did what I thought looked like painting...and well, kept on
going. ehhehe :nya: Sooooo I hope this looks somewhat suspiciously painted. No stock photos were used or modified...the
bamboo was all done from scratch. and I think it looks pretty good considering that I have no clue what the heck bamboo
looks like. I looked at a couple stock photos just for some ideas on shape and color, but other than that, it was all
from my widdle brain. Kenshin is actually the scan that i modified using the smudge tool (but no filters....). ALOT of
smudge tool, and some blur tool. Basically, if you took out the smudge tool and blur tool things, there would be no wall
left. Practically everything was made with the smudge tool, blur tool, and soft round brush. No matter how hard you look
on the net you wont find the exact scan i used though! You might find the pose, but I completely changed his hairstyle
(the ponytail part), vectored the scalp hair (because the color didnt match the new ponytail), and changed his eye from
nice kenshin to battousai kenshin. To tell you the truth, I like battousai kenshin better. ^-^ MUCH hawter. teehee.
OH! OH! and my favorite part of course...is the moonlight! Ive never done moonlight before so i hope it looks alright. It made it look sooo much more dramatic. thanks for the tutorial on lighting jason, but i ended up not using it because im not so great at following tuts. hehehe. OX
sooo how do you guys like the blood? I really like ^-^ Although it might gross some people out when they first turn on their computer to see blood, but I think it adds more detail and its gonna stay! If you want a blood-less version however, i can give you one. (as long as my computer doesnt crash again)
tutorial on how to make the bamboo coming soon
AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANNAKEE! im sorry this is really early, but i thought you might like the style. ( i dunno why tho....ahah) and i worked so hard on it, so i like to dedicate those kind of walls to friends ^-^
Lacus and I had a theme going on :D. She did a Kaoru pretty wallie, and I did a Kenshin wall arent we cute XD.

It is pretty neat! I just kinda wish that there was something on the left, like a firefly guiding him through the forest. Either way, still pretty neat looking! Great job on it!

Excellent!
The moonlight looks fab and the bamboo is great. The painting/smudging/blurring is really well done.
Don't forget the tut =D
Great job! -
MapleRose Retired Moderator Dec 20, 2006
ah neat painting :) I like those bamboos (can't wait to see the tutorial on it ;) ). and the scan you've modified looks nice too, the style is consistent with the background. I like how you've got the shadow of the bamboo to fold along with his clothing too ^^ Lastly, I like those moonlight effects on the bamboo, but maybe there should be some moon highlights on his hair (and his clothes) as well.
oh yeah, the blood is a nice touch actually :)

If you want to continue/pursue more on digital painting try using a hard edge brush more, then avoid the smudge and blur. I guarantee to you more better results. Good luck in the contest, I'm also judging there. ^^;

A M A Z I N G ! ! ! ! I'm really loving painted walls right now, and this is awesome! The moonlight turned out really nice and the bamboo does, indeed,look like bamboo. There's no bamboo where you live? *scratches head* I guess pretty much everything will grow in Oklahoma.

This is sorta a late comment >_>
I'm really liking paint-o-rama's contest theme, Feudal Eras. Especially when the wallpaper is of my favorite anime; Rurouni Kenshin! XD I've seen 2 so far of RK and I'm in heaven with both of the wallpapers X3 Anyway, I love the work you did in this wall! I also like the battousai better than the normal kenshin as well. Before I go off track, great job and keep it up!
