Monolithe (Work in Progress)

[Skorpius]

I'm not finished with it, but I'd like to share.

The entire image was created in the GIMP, using only a mouse and my awesome talent. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif
This is about 4-5 hours of nonstop work, with probably 2-3 left to go. I plan on creating a forest on the left, which will balance out the pond on the right.

You've done impressive work here, Skorp. When can we expect the next bit?

[Eihwaz]

Very cool, I like the concept of this. To me, it looks like some still image from an RPG cutscene. I'm looking forward to seeing the completed version.

[Skorpius]

Thank you for the positive replies. I'll probably work on it a little more tonight so keep your eyes open tomorrow.

I sure do hope you scaled this image down because if it took you 5 hours to make such a small piece then lol...

Anyway, looks nice.

[HUnewearl_Meira]

It may be a fairly small piece Rizeru, but there's a great deal of very small details included that many may have overlooked. Consider the reflections in the water, for example.

Wow, your mouse skills humble me. XD

Very nice work. <3

Copy mountain layer, paste mountain layer, flip vertically, reduce opacity, done. Reflections take no time at all.

Then lol what, Rizeru?

Erm, what about doing it all with a mouse O.o

[Skorpius]

The reflections took only about 5 minutes to get just right, but I don't see why an image that size needs a quick time. I guess Rizeru was just attempting to counteract the praise I was getting by posting such a condescending comment.

About an update, I'll attempt to work on the image this week and provide a final version. I've been busy with this new game called Life. So hard.

yeah, that spinner can be a real pain in the ass. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

on a serious note this is pretty good. The only complaint I can come up with is the edge lines on the pillar seem much more sharply pixelated compared to the rest of the scene.

[Skorpius]

The very next step I was going to do was soften up those edges before hitting the forest, tree by tree.
I started working on some other projects. Go me.
