yep

Are there any tutorials that I can follow on digital painting? The only artwork that I've done has always been with pencils, charcoal, ink, gouache, watercolor, or acrylic paints... I've never tried actually painting with the computer, but Bene your stuff is really inspirational and is making me want to try it! lol

Thank you Bene!

thats so sick

@Mezandria: 3d objects can help you a lot with perspective when doing landscapes, but since i dont really do landscapes i dont use them

@UncleMuscles: Ill try to give you some cnc

I like the colors, but somehow i dont have that underwater feel. I think u should have a stronger lighting from the surface, right now it seems like this scene is on dry ground.




The octopus:

1. There is a much larger, spherelike bump under the eyes.

2. If you look to where the legs are atttached to the head, there is a membrane stretching from one leg to an other.

Well, thats all i can think of and overall i really like this, keep it up.

LOL

Ok, well first attempt was fail as I realized I started way too small... but here's first start
