Time Lapse Drawing and Coloring Cortana

[kingofgaming99]

Thumbs up dude

[phoppydizzle1999]

what program where

you using to do that?

[Yellowcard7777]

I wish I was one of those people who actually knew wtf I was doing. Either my school sux or I should just quit.

[epicsniper487]

what software do u use??

[SilentTwentySeven]

Amazing Work! I do have bit of random question really but would you say this is a natural skill which has improved over practice and time or have you studied Art?

I ask because I love to draw and im pretty good (not bragging) for my age and I have also taken a bit of Art at school and was thinking of getting one?.. Should I get one or leave it as only pro's us them?..

[dilophosaurus122]

Epic dude... or dudette..

[Paladopolis]

When I first began watching this video I expected nothing more then the usual [albeit good] fanart.

Then I saw you start forming shades and curves I didn't expect.

Then for the grand finale you topped it all off with an amazing display of holographic lighting.

Bravo, my friend. This is spectacular.

[violet1197]

I told a friend of mine he can do anything he wants with me for a day. Of all things, he decided dragging me to a con as her was the best idea he could think of. So now I need to find as many pics and ideas as I can. Any chance you can send me your pic?

[Blue138UEF]

[Zpayer]

i think he used photoshop, but if im wrong, like usual it could be paintshop pro...both of them are exelent programs for this kind of drawing picture whatever

[AwesomeDon46]

So...it is alright to download the music, right? I mean, there's no virus or anything? Because I love the music you put in with this. If you were to look at the finished product and listen to the entire score, it would be beyond words to describe how perfect and beautiful it would be. You caught certain curves perfectly. Especially around her her waist area, the collar bone, and along the neck. The lighting, the strings, and her head pointing down makes this a very emotional pic.

Don from DA.

[xgcwardog]

The music really depends where you get it from. That's something for you do on your own.

Also, that has to be the most worthwhile and intelligent youtube comment I've ever seen in my 2 and a half years here.

[AwesomeDon46]

Well, I'm glad you enjoyed my comment. I'm not the one who would usually just type all crap like. I don't like doing that. I like to be sincere in my comments. OH! If you haven't noticed already, I commented some more on the actual pic on your DA profile.

[DARKemil1]

nice

[amadi510]

how are you do that ?? :D this is c00l ;D nice job I'll try in Inscape

[DamianSoPL]

this is amazing!!! 5!

[XxJoHn117xX]

mcdonkey you NEED to play halo..tis teh best game evahr!

[mcdonky]

i have never played halo, but i have seen some videos about it. this drawing is a good one, i am pretty sure thats what cortana looks like, or really close. i like the video. i wish i could draw like that, i would feel alot better if i could. that was an awsome drawing

[Darthphill]

wow why can't people read, i just don't get it

[TwilightSnipe117]

what program was that?

[xgcwardog]

Adobe Photoshop CS3 and a Wacom Graphire4 Tablet.

Come on people read the text at the beginning of the video!

[goneskiing42]

KUDOS! that was amazing

[PivotPowerProduction]

fing amazing!!!!!

[Malicorian]

The artist is not very talented. The reason she was not showing her face is because this wanna has no skill drawing human faces, and that is the hallmark of a true artist.

[xgcwardog]

You are somewhat right. It's not something I'm great at, I'm still learning the face. But you are wrong on the second part, nothing defines a "true artist" especially one specific trade. (such as drawing a face) What of a land scape artist who can paint mountain ranges, skies, oceans and beaches that are the highest of quality, yet has trouble with a face, are you saying they're not an artist?

[rysoke24]

Pwnt.

[punanena2]

wargod, you are completely correct, I also agree with Malicorian that faces are what people probably draw/paint the most, it plays a big part in art, but you don't have to be able to draw/paint faces.

@rysoke: if you don't have anything good to say... GTFO >.>

[xgcwardog]

Thanks for agreeing, also, don't mind Rysoke. He's a friend of mine, know him really well, he has permission to make stupid comments XD

Anyways, I've been working for the past couple of weeks on getting down the structure of a human face. I understand how it's built, how to draw it. I can visualize what I need to do to prepare and even to draw it, but it just doesn't translate well to my hands. I picked up on drawing only 6 months ago, I hope I continue to learn as fast as I already have.

[punanena2]

okok sorry rysoke : D

[Malzainious]

I have the deepest respects for you. That thing is sexy!

[ProDarkRaven]

After all the times I've watched this, it still doesn't strike me as any less amazing. Brilliant work.

[loves2spuge690]

dam cortanas fit lol

[countumga]

MMmmmmm.... That'd be a pretty sweet background to have. Hehe, nice job. Keep up your awesome work, cuz that's brilliant. ;D

[sases]

and what will be happen with the background?ß

[xXxEmbersOfHatredxXx]

What did (he/she) use to draw this so well? A plug-in device that you draw on with a special pen and it programs it into the computer?

If so..show me where to buy

If not tell me what you used.

-thanks

[xgcwardog]

I used what's called a Graphics Tablet. I have a Wacom Graphire 4 pad that is about 6x8 (I forget exactly)

It cost me about 120 at the time I bought it. They can be purchased at CoolGraphicStuff . com

[xXxEmbersOfHatredxXx]

thanks pal

[Luzifa1983]

omg thats sooooo awesome!!!

[Ratzinger1337]

total awesomeness.

You won the internet.

[Marhoz]

great knowledge of tools u used , really ! + your talent as a painter , thats fabulous combo :)

[xgcwardog]

it looks continuous because I'd stop recording when I felt like playing Half Life or eating. Then the next day I'd get home from school, do whatever, then start the recording up again and draw more. Then I mashed them all together in Movie maker.

[xgcwardog]

No, I took 4 hours total. Spread out over about eight 30 minute work periods over the 3 days total.

[bourin132]

nicee =]

[0o0justin0o0]

pretty sweet job :p

[Halo1138]

Seven great minutes. You sir, are truly gifted at what you do.

[Stalker464]

Me impsobile to do that

[damang114]

lol, love the way you show all of your online activities while you're working on this insane thing ;P your hand must have been really sore...but sweet job.

[halo4fun]

hehe nice, love halo =)

[Dan14159]

Good, but one thing: it's Zoltraphatar, not Cortana. Don't know where you got that name from...

[xgcwardog]

what

[Dan14159]

You called your video "Time Lapse Drawing and Coloring Cortana" but you should have called it "Time Lapse Drawing and Coloring Zoltraphatar" Because that's her name.

This is from Halo 2, right?

Pretty good drawing, but it's a digital drawing, not really a drawing.

[xgcwardog]

Her name is Cortana. It's been that way since we first saw her on the Pillar of Autumn in Halo 1 until the end of the legendary campaign on the Dawn in Halo 3.

Now where did you get Zoltraphatar? There's nothing even turning up on goole about that word, or name.

[vinnietest46]

holy fuckin shit.................

[anthraxgoon]

I think you need Recons...lol!

That was an amazing 7 minutes, probrably justifying the purchase of my laptop! My art teachers would struggle to do that, lol.

[italianostallion1988]

That was amazing!

[IERenegade01]

Was that Winamp that you kept opening up? Oh, and have you considered being a concept artist? Because, that is really f'ing awesome!

[xgcwardog]

Yes, I listened to the Halo 3 sound track the whole time. Tried to keep myself in the right mood XD

[IERenegade01]

I do that a lot as well. I'm always listening to something that is related to what I'm working on and what mood I'm in. Superb fanart. Say, do you have a gmail account? If so, can you send me your address gmail?

[retardlad]

You sir, win the internets.

[Lookout711]

That drawing is made of Pure ,Ultimate, Win.

[xgcwardog]

Can I have a voucher for one internet? I need to make a little more space in my room, I'll cash it in later.

[UKGAMERS]

That was worth 7 minutes of my life.

5/5.

[xgcwardog]

That may be... the first time I've ever seen the phrase "that was worth... X" on youtube. EVER.

[Gravityspark]

what program is that

[xgcwardog]

It says at the beggning, dah, doesn't anyone read XD.

Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended with Wacom addons ~$1000

[shippley1]

that was amazing, I wish I was half as good

[BLACKMETALMAYO]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT.

You're amazing.

[SolitariusAdvena]

What was it you did there at the end to make the things going from the lights to her? Looked like shapes with a layer style on them?

[xgcwardog]

I used the lasso tool, drew the shape of a triangle. Then took a brush and colored half way inside and outside with soft edge. then blurred the thing heavily.

[SolitariusAdvena]

Ohhh, cool. It's so fast I can't pick up on half the crap you're doing.

[ProDarkRaven]

I love this music (especially the first song). Where can I find the soundtrack?

[xgcwardog]

Most stores (online or regular walk in) should have the official Halo 3 soundtrack in their stock. Not sure though, I just downloaded them.

[misurefrank]

Holy crap...That was frickin' awesome! Well done!

[mddwebboy]

Lol, sorry to dissapoint but you ain't getting recon for this. I'm not saying you didn't do an insane job, I'm just saying I don't think I've ever seen Bungie give out the armor for artwork of any kind (except a photo-manip contest). And that includes for comic strips that have lasted for over six years based on the game, plus the wide variety of fan art on the net.

[xgcwardog]

I never said I wanted it, I didn't even think about showing this to Bungie or getting armor. (but it made it to their forums anyways). I just put up my video on Youtube because I wanted to show people what I like doing.

[punanena2]

some people here think that every halo vid is about getting recon >.> that is totally random, it's just a piece of armour, if it wasn't so rare, no people would want it, seriously.

[xgcwardog]

Well, the reason people want it is that's it's rare. It's for the very same reason people in the real world want rare cars or baseball cards or comics, is because there's very few in existence and they want one. It's kinda human nature you could say.

(Also, I didn't make this video for recon, I record myself drawing all the time XD)

[kick1nme]

increadible...

[darkangel101102]

This is fucking amazing, good job dude 6/5

[renlives73]

woah... this is FANTASTIC!

all the detail is just incredible, i love it!

[Bcanan0]

hell yea mike we r goin 2 get u recon 4 this

[AqueousRex]

Mike, you are amazing.

[KoGCaboosee]

nice pic dude...

also are you still in XGC cause im in KoG

[xgcwardog]

The XGC tag is just something I use to make my name because there's a lot of "wardog's" out there. I'm more known by the name "Daolpu" now, I've starting using that.

[axemurderamb]

i think i saw subliminal COD4 images around 5mins...

[xgcwardog]

It's my background on MSN messenger. What? Am I not allowed to like CoD4 and Halo 3 at the same time? XD

[axemurderamb]

lol i thought it was funny... time to play COD for some odd reason...

[ferrari20092]

You are allowed to like Cod4 more!!

[mattzer0]

dude that is freaking awesome
