“The purpose of this making of is to outline the tools and techniques I used in the creation of my image, Hornedman. The image started as a sketch inside ZBrush and grew from there into the final image almost by accident. Sketching characters in ZBrush is a great way to concept ideas, mess around with forms and come up with cool new things.”

Modeling was very simple. I based my model off of the original sketch (Fig. 01) and created what is known as an organized mesh.
Making of Joker Was Here
“In this tutorial, I will take you through the process of how to create the Joker piece. This image was created from scratch entirely in Photoshop, although you should be able to obtain similar results with Painter. The brushes I used were fairly standard; a hard edged brush, soft edged brush, as well as a speckled one.”

“After seeing a lot of nice girl renders on the internet, I decided to make a Chinese style girl myself. In the process of making this girl, I found that the most important thing to a character is the facial expression and posture. When considering the facial expression, I paid most attention to her eyes and mouth because these two areas are the key to the facial expression.”

“The purpose of this project was to create a portrait of a real man, to test my skills. The likeness was my main goal. First of all, I decided the subject of the portrait. I wanted a person with peculiar physical features and, in the end, I chose Benjamin Linus, my favorite character on Lost, played by Michael Emerson.”
Making of La Mirada
“I took a trip to the NY Society of Illustrators to visit the 2009 Illustration Annual Exhibition. While I was there one piece in particular caught my attention. It was called “Gibson Girl” by Sterling Hundley. Much like Charles Dana Gibson’s illustrations, the woman in Hundley’s illustration had the famous hairstyle most commonly seen in Gibson’s work. So this inspired me to follow in those footsteps and create a portrait of a woman with this hairstyle.”

“Hello everyone! I’m Ricardo Jost and I work as a character animator and CG artists. I live in Brazil, where I was born, and I’d like to share the creation process behind my recent personal work: “Cool Guy”.”
Portrait painting
“The main shape is loosely sketched with a large brush with a 60% opacity. At this stage, I don’t worry too much about precision of the strokes.Mostly, I use one or two colors.”
Making of Lilith
“I did all of the work in Photoshop 7, as far as the face is concerned, Painter 8 was used in the last step for textures only.”
Making of Equilibrium
“I’ve always been fascinated by realism, and because of this it is really important to me that the base line-art sketch has got proper proportions. I usually use the old trick by putting a grid on top of a reference photo I’ve shot, and thenI copy the same grid onto a blank canvas and start drawing grid by grid from what I see on the reference photo.I make sure to keep the grid on….”
Making of Boudicca 3060 A.D.
“Hello and welcome! This article will provide you with a walkthrough of my experiences during the creation of this project. I have narrowed down my creative journey into 6 stages. I hope that you pick up some useful tips and find it entertaining and informative. Without further ado, here is an insight into the ‘Making Of’ Boudicca 3060 A.D.”
Making of Beautiful
“In this piece, I used a greyscale colourization technique. ‘Colourization technique’ is a computer-assisted process of adding colour to a monochrome image or movie. The process typically involves segmenting images into regions and tracking these regions across image sequences.”
Making of Self Portrait
“I think that every artist has done a self portrait at some point or other, as it is the closest thing you have for reference: yourself. It’s a challenge and it shows in the end how you, the artist, see yourself. I’ve done just a few self portraits in the past; mostly I work freelance on character concepts and illustrations which leave me with little time for myself.”
