Throw Back Thursday: Noon Day Sun

For this Throw Back Thursday, I decided I would go back to Noon Day Sun which was created on January 26th, 2011. I have a blog post about it here, but I will put the image below. I'm not sure what I was thinking when I made this image, especially since it looks like a nice warm image, and it was created in the dead of winter. I may have made it just to make it (which is what I said in the post) or because it made me feel warm. Anyway, here is the image to refresh your memory.


I also decided to make a new image with this as the stock photo. I wanted to create an image depicting the sun as it was in the sky in June, but I also have an idea for that later on, so I made this into a sunrise kind of image. It reminds me of when I would wake up in 6th grade in my hometown for school. The sunrise that I saw outside is what I think of when I see this image called Morning Sunshine.


Lots of Radial Blur, some dents, and polar inversion. I also used a white background instead of a black background that I normally use. It's nothing fancy, nor is it a huge manipulation like I've done before, but I think it turned out to look really good. Take care and I'll see you here soon.

Big Jet from Little Einsteins

Image
Yet another image of a character from the show Little Einsteins. Thought this Thanksgiving week, that I would show my thankfulness by making these for my boys, who LOVE this show. After making Rocket, I thought, why not make the enemy of the show, who's name is Big Jet. I also made a coloring page of this, which can be found a while back on my Instagram page. Here is the finished image. Like Rocket, I started with an outline of Big Jet based on this picture , but was also going for making it more high def. I then filled in the color, and applied some of the shading after. For some reason this one wasn't as hard as Rocket, either because there are more straight lines, or because I knew more of what I was doing. Hope you enjoy this shorter post, and I'll see you here again soon. Happy Thanksgiving!

Rocket from Little Einsteins

Image
With Thanksgiving being less than a week away, it is a good time to reflect and think about what you are thankful for. I'm thankful for my family most of all, and something that they love is watching TV. One show in particular they love is the Disney show Little Einsteins. I decided I'd make Rocket from Little Einsteins, based on this image , as well as a version that is a coloring page sort of thing. On here though, I'll just showcase the fully colored and shaded version (the coloring page version is on Instagram). So without further ado, here is Rocket! I started out with the outline, making different layers for different sections so that I can make a crude outline, and refine it section by section as I went. I then colored in each piece on different layers, so that I can do further adjustments. I then made the darker lines on the hull, and extended the windows down a bit. I then worked on shading, and it took a long time to shade since there are many shapes and areas I w...

Stone Head

Image
Awesome artworks as always Julio! Here is something I am working on: The head was made in a program called: Sculptris, the stone texture was made in Paint.Net, and the moss was made in Photoshop (but I added it to the head in PDN). I still dont like the moss... I need to change something, and I still need to make a background. So this is still very much a WIP (work in progress), but I thought I would share it with you all.
