I thought that to Tofu, had it moved all over the place, but looked at a few pics and it varied. So went with the untaught line as if the rod is being flicked.

You painted the Rod????? I don't know...hmmmm

Why no water drops on the bobber or the fishing line??

in my excitment Rey is right, Ihold my hands up, the rod is an adjusted external, sorry if I folled anyone, somehow slipped my mind when putting it up, as it is beyond obvious it is a rod from a photo. sorry all, my bad totally.

like I said rocky I used a referance image to get the look of a ripple down. then began making several with pen tool and solid colour filling them as I progressed. I used a wet media brush set to select colour selections out of the different blues...
|
|
|

...that make up the bulk of the waters surface to give it a movement and living look. I then used the wet media brushes to make random ripple effects over the piece, to fill what was a great deal of empty space. Next I went back to the intersecting...
|
|
|

...ripples and rather crudely went at them and the surrounding areas with the polygon lasso, & on several different layers built up even more blue tones to depict water motion. I was rather pleased with the result. A little different for me some may say
|

the bottom left is a culmination of these processes then using overlays and layer styles merging them together, erasing some parts and adding to others until it looked as natural as possible, coupled with the light falling rain...
|

...which was drawn by hand with simple soft default brushes, over varying sizes until effect was complete. Fishing line added also draw in, and thats about it really

Ok.. Call me a prick. If you could see the fish you should be able to see the bottom of the bobber. The bobber is almost 1/2 the size of the pole.

come on Rey feel the love mate lol, its a shit rod, probably made from a twig, I did not totally want to loose the source by making it minute, and your right about the bobber being viewable, but decided against it, as it ruined the image...
|
|
|
|
marcoballistic
...it may have been more realistic, but it conflicted totally with the reflection of the bobber and looked damn awful, sometimes reality can look shut, I however, did to much here to not wish it to look shit in its final guise.

Talk about FEEDBACK....Man, you get more feedback than JIMI HENDRIX ;p It amazes me to no end the Small FLAWS that are pointed out in your work. I'm sure it helps you learn, but it has to get nerve racking. Great job small flaws and all.

You lost me at ripple....

Just kidding, Thanks for explanation though ;)

What kind of bunch of funny explanations! :D
|
|
|
|
Claf
In fact this recalls me the explanations you made on this chop: photoshopcontest.com...
|
|
|
|
Claf
When you look seriously at the source that you pretended you used like a reference that I added at the end of the comments, it makes all your explanations sooooo funny!! ;)
|
|
|
|
marcoballistic
funny explanation, huh? i stated I used a referance image, unlike that other time, I am confused by the issue here. but more prominently got a domestic so get back to this when I can.

marcoballistic
and good point Matt, cheers, missed that.
|
|
|

marcoballistic
also, how crap to my bubbles look on that other pic.. hell actually the whole things not too hot lol

What I mean is that on the old chop all your comments about how you made the fish's lips is bullshit. It was an external you used & made a fast and easy color & contrast manipulation.
|
|
|
|
Claf
Nothing like "lips were done by selecting parts of the stomach and blending them blah blah blah... Finally I used blur and smudge to brush the details into the upper and lower lips to give a more realistic and rounded look blah blah blah..." was true.
|
|
|
|
marcoballistic
that was no bull, I said in that it was a referance to help make them, but look at the texture, it is made from the tummy selection etc.
|
|
|
|
Claf
That was total bullshit. So I think you're able to come back with bullshit sometimes... like now. So the rod is external. And I think the ripples is more than a reference, I call it an external with good manipulation.

Far from your first author's note: [img] i18.photobucket.com...

I adjusted my authors notes as Rey pointed out an obvious error, and then Matt did likewise
