Garchomp: LOLFAIRIES *Poison Jab/Iron Head/Earthquake* Still not feeling the musical inspiration so let’s do this in the meantime. Listened to “The Call of Ktulu” by Metallica while making these. First one I opened one of my .PSDs to study and followed it loosely (Did not have the same resources, did not use the same stock, had some liberties, etc). I find the background... Interesting, on top of my head, I took a sand picture, added some star brushes and smudged it, then lots of weird gradient maps and adjustments, then added a filter and blacked out what I did not like. It actually feels more of an experiment than anything lol. Second one is a typical Laplace colorsplosion because well, I like making colorsplosions and if I’m not having fun or learning something new while making these I don’t see the point lol. It's really something I made out in 10-15 minutes. Sorry if it looks too bright too, tried turning down the brightness but then it turns out too dark for my taste. Comment and Critique as usual appreciated and thanked for. I know these may not be my strongest pieces ever but even with the dedication and habit of making these everyday but without the inspiration and CnC I can rarely get out of the first steps.
The first, like you said, seems like an experiment and thus unfinished. I'd probably just smudge the right side and far left with a few different brushes, strengths, and settings then move on. It's neat though. Second one is nearly perfect as is but could do with a few blurred artifacts strewn around in the FG for some fun little depth. Great peice.
