Tiger41 Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Hi Richard I love it Fantastic very cool nice touch with HMCS Hampton Grey Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antoine Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Richard, I don't have any interest in what ifs in general. But there is something special with yours, you certainly have a special touch, because I just love them. Maybe because you're going very far in the little details, I don't know. But nevertheless, they're simply great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousDFB1 Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Very nice Richard, thanks. Just how do you produce them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gekko_1 Posted August 3, 2008 Author Share Posted August 3, 2008 Thanks guys! Mish. I use Adobe Illustrator to create the line work, then take that drawing into Adobe Photoshop to do the colour work, shadows and highlights. Cheers Richard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHREAK Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Arrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhhhhhhhhhh! My brain hurts! ........but a little voice in my head says that I like them. Nice work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousDFB1 Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 You are very skilled Richard. I'm I.T. savvy but I wouldn't know where to begin. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gekko_1 Posted August 3, 2008 Author Share Posted August 3, 2008 You are very skilled Richard. I'm I.T. savvy but I wouldn't know where to begin. Well done. Thanks Mish, I'm fortunate in that I've had the opportunity to be formally trained in both Fine Art and Graphic Design. It sounds a little more 'romantic' than it really was. Mostly it was a lot of frustration with Teachers that quite frankly were either not qualified for their position, couldn't be bothered teaching or were just there to head hunt the 'talent'. Basically I had to teach myself, like I've had to do with most things in life. I love the freedom of expression with "What if?" subjects. The "no rules apply" thing is appealing I guess. Basically its a form of artistic release? Unfortunately to teach one how to produce profiles like I do is a bit like teaching somebody how to airbrush via a novel. Its one of those things where if a person was sat next to me I could have them creating their own art work in a day. Cheers Richard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad your housing situation is sorted now we can get back to enjoying your profiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
