The CG :
http://www.omanserv.com/aura/images/arabic_world.gif

here are the steps .
1- I drawed the image by pencil , then made some lines darker and sharper using a pan .
2- I scanned the image . then resized it . and exported as GIF from Fireworks .
3- Imported it in Flash MX .
4- using the pen tool and the lines tool in Flash i drawd it again by the mouse . i went over the lines of my hand drawing .
5- then started the hardest bit . [ choosing the colors which go with each other .
6- made alit of all the colors that i am going to use in coloring of the image .
7- Then started the coloring of the image .

So what do you think of ma First CG work ?. do you think i should continu or stop ?

for your first attempt it looks pretty **** fine to me. Good work. :)

Keep at it.

BTW what's with all these people asking if they should continue doing stuff....if you enjoy it, do it. Don't question wether you are good enough.

[m_andrews808]

yea looks good :thumb:

I'd make the wall where the brick is showing through a different colour though

[codename|aura|]

yeah . exactly . [m_andrews808 ]. that is a realy good point . thanks alot .
and thank you [ ratbaggy ] . about me asking . cause i didnt think that i am doing good job in vectoring . cause i always compare the work i do with other great vectors out there on the net . so i asked . ut you know i enjoy . sowhat ever you say guys i will continue . :P

[kei]

looks pretty cool :)
i think u should add a bit of shadow under the shelter or something so it doesnt look liek its floating in the air!

[Kitiara]

I think you've done a great job with this, especially since it's a firs attempt. The vector looks really cleanly done as well, and you've made a good choice with the colours. :)

I like to draw things like that, and im good at it = like the image you draw. But i dont have any scanner, I have stopt drawing for 1 week. But Im in love with it, I will try to get a scanner this is great.

Nice work I love it :love:

[Yeldarb]

very nice! not much I can comment on, it is amazing work :thumb:

one thing that i would suggest is making a character, maybe an old guy with hardly any teeth, the kind of guy who opens his coat and has like 50 watches and wants to sell them to you. that would be awesome, and I think it would fit in nicely :D

[codename|aura|]

thanks all of you .
kei : there s some shadow there . ;) . but it is light color .

thanks alot Kitiara . and i really liked your work . ;) loved it . am really happy you liked ma work :P.

Blastboy you should sho us some of your work . and make some vectored .(-:

Yeldarb . funy idea . lool

[ Before Sun Rise ]
this is the same CG work . but i have edited it using Fireworks
[ Hue And Saturation } effect .
then i added the [ fog ] to it.
so what do you think of it ?

dont say anything about the shadow , though ;)

[Kitiara]

This one actually looks better to my mind. :)

Maybe it's because of the mist, or the blending of colours that are all a very similar shade. It just works very well for me. :)

Looking at it, I'd say that it might be an idea to define more where the material joins onto the wall. Or rather, how it's fixed to the wall. And I know you said no comments about the shadow, but I think this is the only other thing that might need work. :)

[Yeldarb]

looks great, but maybe lighten up the mist just a little bit (put it on a little lower opacity or something)

great job once again

[codename|aura|]

thanks a. so theis is better . ;) .
haaa .
thanks Kit about ur comments . but as i told you . i didnt color it from the beginning . i just added the effect. ;)

thanks again .

[asphaltcowboy]

pretty cool - but.. do you get mist in "Arabia"? I woulda thought it was kinda too hot for that... :sure:

[Dog-E]

In my CGs, i delete lines like the line tutorial of Kirupa. Generally, that kinda thing results to a better picture. I dont know if you tried that. But you should also try and see which one is better. Because it changes from picture to picture.

[codename|aura|]

asphaltcowboy : yes we do get mist . ;) . i have experianced it . brother :chinaman:
Dog-E : i didnt try removing lines . but i will try it . ;) .
i thought of macking this style with the lines on ., cause i think the image will look better .
i will try removing the lines then i will see which is better . :) thanks for the idea .

[mdipi]

hmm...the only complaint i have on both of them is that the canapy doesnt seem to be meeting the wall, it jsut looks like it is floating there sub sometimes i dont see it touching, yet it is coming out at me if that makes any sense. otherwise its top notch stuff, very crisp :thumb:

[codename|aura|]

well . yeah . it looks like that . i agree with you .
anyways,trendax . it is ma first work and i must improve in ma upcoming works . ;)

[Joysik]

Wow! That is really good! , and you say this is your first time? Well done!!!

[c!rYx]

I really do like it, great work...

[codename|aura|]

thanks alot . and it seems that i will continue CGing .
