Total noobshit here, I did have a question about this thread, awesome work all of you by the way!

Would photo manipulation be appropriate to post in here? However if there is another thread wholly for photo manips I would love some linkage. c:

I do use some filtering, but even that has a technique in itself. Like many other photo manip peeps I used to slap one on at full blast setting because I thought it hid all of the ball busting worthy flaws. Careful adjustments of layers, layer opacities, and merging will give it a painterly and unique but sharpened allure.

Basically if I'm gonna use a filter I'll make it so it doesn't look like it has a filter. c:

Well consider me truly tickled, haha.

The second one looks like a painting. Absolutely dreamlike.

The artwork in this thread is to die for <3


Here's a piece I did of my Esk, a closed species on deviantart that's also a huge ARPG.

They're little ghost creatures who are spirits of people and or animals that have passed on.

Ooh, I like the contrast between the face and the fur, nice! I'm not sure what a closed species is, it sounds ominous

Thank you so much, I was very proud of that piece! A closed species just means you can't freely make loads of your own unless you take part in the community ARPG that created them.

This is awesome, and I love the background. Also digging the foliage in the foreground trees. Did you use a pattern brush?

Oh yes pattern brushes up the yin yang because I'm not quiiiite good enough to do that kind of thing from scratch with regular CS6 brushes yet. Thanks so much, I'm glad you like it!

lolllllll It's still amazing though.
