a few words:
@ Gunfighter, Armistead, captgeo,
Many thanks for your kind words, guys! I really appreciate it. I'm working with each image for about three nights, from 10 to 20 hours on average. It’s depend on complexity, on my skills, and on my patience, of course. And always pleased to hear, that I spent my time not in vain. Thanks a lot guys! Now I don’t exhibit my works for the SS contest at the UBI - SH4 forum, just because these are not "edited screenshots" from the game. Sometimes I draw from scratch; sometimes I use a non-textured 3D-model for the basic perspectives and to see the main composition of the picture for themselves; sometimes I use stock textures and brushes. But I use the screenshots very rarely. Reason: I like to draw from scratch. I post my works in this thread "Silent Hunter 4" -> “Screenshots and videos” because it’s just a habit. And I really don’t know: where I can find a common topic of the graphic arts here on Subsim. Armistead, I use Photoshop CS4 and graphics tablet Wacom Intuos 3 – really great tool for working with graphics. Cheers! |

Wish I had those skills. My wife is a very good artist and has even sold some of her past work. She mostly doe's Civil War stuff for me and always has me a painting for Christmas. She did me a beautiful one of the Hunley. I'll try and take a picture and post it. She mostly doe's brush work, but also computer.
Those are great skills, you should print and sell them on ebay. |

@ Task Force keep at it,You hit nail on the head "For Fun" and thats what its all about. @Armistead you can do it start with ScreenShot and just mess about with it in some graphics program.Some of my pictures are made up of 2 or 3 screenshots and just blended pushed and shoved, the above shot is made up of the sea & Sub from SH4 The Sky is from FltSIM X.give it a try and I would like to see some of your good ladys paintings of The civil war. I to have Won SH4 comp 4 times and you see I'm a 70 yr Old Fart and if I can do it so can you. tei is a Pro and I would love to be able to start from scratch but I enjoy doing it My Way

Thanks Gunfighter. I'm learning..I get a few votes on my edited ones, but I just do simple stuff with PS and gimp. Starting to learn how to blend things, layers, ect. You and tei just do some amazing things.
Are you really 70? I'm 46 and we didn't learn on computers growing up, so I take it you trained yourself. I do AC, but job related, guess I can learn that, but no doubt being an artist is a talent. My wife may still have a few for sell on Ebay, I'll check and see. She sells some to a dealer in Charleston. My daughter is also a great artist. However, they spend so much time showing dogs she doesn't paint much anymore I have won the unedited contest now twice in a row at SH, so pretty good playing with those...
