About Me

After six months I am back to making wallies, I got a few in the works and hopefully they will not be crap like my Casshern wall. I sort of gave up on vectoring and started playing with Corel Painter 10, it is freaking awesome but it's sort of difficult to mimic my 3D style of painting. I would usually use very watered down acrylics to make them almost look like watercolors which I then would combine/blend with outlines/shading done with charcoal/pencils/pens to create pretty cool stuff. I'm also a watercolor whore, I love watercolors and almost everything that has a watercolor effect/look to it, they were the first medium I got to use in my life. But again, recreating the watercolor effects in Painter 10 that I would usually use in 3D is quite difficult for me at the moment, it is just not the same but I'm practicing to reach a good mimicking level. So I guess I'll be going for that light watercolor-ish look in my walls from now on.



Current Projects:

A whole bunch, lol.


I'm weird guy who contradicts himself more than normal. I am also too critical towards myself, a bit of a perfectionist even though I know that perfection can never be reached and that my perfectionistic nature slows me in life, especially when I draw/paint. I'm also sort of good at criticizing others, people usually get mad at me for being too critical or to picky but I just want them to present something good and to improve in what they do. I'm still a noob at photoshop and illustrator, but at least I know the elements and principles of design so my first wall should not be that horrible, I hope. I welcome any suggestions, as long as they are not meant to anger me on purpose.

Oh, it's personal preference really. I always end up editing my stuff in Photoshop anyway, so I make my vectors in it. :P You can make your vectors in Illustrator (which you can stroke paths much better), but save it as an .eps to open it in photoshop if you want to make final color adjustments and stuff.

Personally I think the pen tool handles slightly different (like the buttons don't do exactly the same things) in both programs, and Illustrator is really sensitive and picky, so I prefer photoshop since it's a bit more "user friendly" and forgiving. But ultimately it's up to you. Making a full vectored wall in illustrator has a significantly lower file size - like 20mb compared to like 150mb in photoshop. So that's something to consider too.
