TLOTLL Background Unfinished *take a look*

[DanClarke]

Thaks everybody, ill try and clear some of this up for you:

The glow under the door on the back wall is the glow of a TV set, thats why it's so bright. This is meant to be the 'less important' door, that's why i placed it on the darker wall but i see what you mean.

As for the railing, i only thought about this one last night, im going to add a post at the top of the stairs, then add a sort of 'bracket' that fixes the bannister to the wall. Thanks for pointing that out though.

To clear it up, the drawing was done completely in Photoshop, no 3D at all. I have no experience with 3D packages.

expect a 'revised' version at some point today.

Yeah when I saw the line of blue underneath the door it made me feel like there was some kind of glowing machinery on the other side.

When you say totally in PS, do you mean even the rough draft, or did you sketch something by hand, scan it, and then go over it in PS? Or do you use a wacom?

This one was done from start to finish in photoshop, no scanning. i try to make a few rouch copies, 1 with a rough black and white 'painting' that helps me get an idea of where the light will be, then another with straight linesso i have some boundaries for walls etc. Ill post them up tonight, so you can have an idea of what i mean.I think some of my future BGs will be done partially by hand then scanned, more for time saving reasons than anything.

It was all done with a mouse, no Wacom involved.

Are you serious? No wacom he says. Dude, that's awesome. That is one good looking BG. And I've slept with enough drunken ex-runway model BGs to know.

lol thanks very much

I've been drawing with a mouse for a few years now, so i guess its kinda just like drawing for me.



Here's the 2 rough images i used to start. The first is the frame in red, drawn on a layer in photoshop. I know it looks like a wireframe but i assure you these are just ruler lines.

The second one is the black and white image you see underneath, this was an idea i had to help me out on how the lighting would look, thats just a large white brush with a low opacity done in steps over a black backdrop.

I know my finial image didnt look much like this one, it was more to get how i wanted the 'mood' to look.

sorry if its so confusing i think i need to read other tutorials and break it down better

It almost looks like 3d rendering, but at the same time, at 200% it's got this pixellated quality that makes me think of Day of the Tentacle. Great cartoony style, really fun to look at.

Semi-pixellated pseudo-3d-rendered DotT flashbacks. Now there's a style.

cheers, ive been inspired by the DOTT/SAmnMax style, you could say im a lucasfreak   ill have more to show as soon as it's done lol.
