Elixir of Life

By far my whiniest video yet (watch to find out why).

This is another piece for Game Night Productions's upcoming game, Shdaowrift.

In total this took 8 hours to paint and was done completely in Adobe Photoshop.

BTW would you consider sharing with us the settings you use for brushes when doing line art and when blocking in tone?

[klausmasterflex]

@PassionArtz Sure-

For sketching and blocking I usually use a flat round with diameter 5-10px and a hardness of 100%. Its opacity is usually between 40-60%. I also use brush 48 'Oil Heavy Flow Dry Edges) at 40-60% opacity.

Hahaha! This is effin' awesome! I really dig her facial expression and the hair is SHARP! Awww, why are you so upset?! You have extremely high standards :) Love these vids, keep 'em comin'!

[klausmasterflex]

@PassionArtz Thanks, I do appreciate it. :) I hold myself to the highest standards, so when my pieces don't meet those expectations I get super frustrated (since I know I can/should be meeting them).

And yes, more vids to come. :)

This is pretty cool, actually. I've been trying out the lineart style too, and I also find it frustrating with all of the fixing that goes on >.< I usually like the finished product though, so I think I'll use it a bit more...

I've actually been learning quite a bit watching these videos (: (Of course, I'm no where NEAR your skill level, haha)

[klausmasterflex]

@kittenmiesters Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the videos and learned something!

[PassionArtz]

@klausmasterflex OoOoOo thanks, I may have to try something similar, as in my next piece I want to adopt a more painterly approach. My default setting is just to throw down lines so, I thought I'd mix it up! :D

[PassionArtz]

@klausmasterflex I mean, the whole thing looks AMAZING but those parts really blew my mind :3 x

[klausmasterflex]

@PassionArtz Glad to hear it! If it were up to me, I'd probably just crop in the burnt arm, hands, and elixir, myself.

Watched this one start to finish! :D Bandage / Arm and Elixir were my favourite parts!
