I just finished my Trekreversebang art
May. 15th, 2010 03:21 amI'll take a final look at it tomorrow, well technically today only not at three in the morning under crappy artificial light, to look at it with fresh eyes and maybe make a some final corrections before scanning, but it is done.
I mean, I know some of the shadows are crap because I had no real idea how shadows from these light sources would look if they were real (two fires, daylight from an opening above that is brighter than the fires, reflective surfaces, all kinds of complicated forms...), the metal looks not all that metallic (why are all the metal tutorials I could find for digital painting?), and I think I gave Uhura a slightly too dark skin color -- but whatever. It's the best I can manage.
It took me forever to paint the thing as it is, not least because my time has much more fragmented than usual recently due to all the running too and fro due that comes with the current family stuff.
And my posting date is Monday, so I even have a bit of leeway to manage the scanning should my desktop crap out on me again. (The problems I had once before where the desktop just refuses to boot have started up again a few days ago. And while I carefully wriggled the stupid memory card which was helped before and that helped again, I do not trust its functioning to be reliable, so I can't do the scanning at the last moment. Argh.)
