a first light

ok so i've been gone for awhile but i think i've come up with something that's good enough to post finally.

yet another 'painting'. i've been trying new things and.... you don't wanna see a bunch of text, you wanna see the goods.

a first light

and it wouldn't be complete without...

a-pek's house of progress pics!

and yes her breasts got larger throughout the "creative process" :D

They still have the saggy old lady kind of look.

I love it.

Except for the chick looking like a cricket... but I suppose that's what ninja women look like.. I mean, they DO have to be all quiet and quick and stealthy... you can't have a big breasted ninja. People would be like "Dude! Did you see the tits on that ninja just now?!".

Very nice pic, I'm always amazed with your work.

... Wacom, right?

i'm a first-timer here...so spare me!

i like the grass effects, that looks awesome. even the chic too. but its the sky that has a lil problem in it. the rendering of the sky was not done properly. what i'm trying to say is that the gradient colors of the sky are not proper. (if not then i guess it my monitor). ;o)

nice work.

Man this is so sweet.!! Nice progress work!

I always look forward to seeing the newest things that you post here.... you always have some great stuff I cant wait for the next one :D

And IMO the sky looks perfectly fine.

mega good, grass is very nice!

Man i love that! Awesome work.

They still have the saggy old lady kind of look.

I gotta agree with mo0. Cause wouldnt that tight clothing push them up more? Technically i think thats what would happen...but visually...i dont care...they look fine lol.

*adds myself to the list of ppl awaiting his next piece.

Also i love the progress pics u always post. They're inspiring (like a mini tutorial er something).

When is your site going to be done? I wanna see the entire collection of stuff you have done

Man. The ninja woman is the only part of the painting that sucks.

First of all, i agree. Her boobs are too small. I dunno if you've ever watched anime, but anime seems to be the only medium of media where you can get away with having a purple haired ninja from the future come and shoot your ass down. They always have nice firm boobies.

Second, why is she holding samurai swords? She's a ninja. Ninjas use dirks, daggers, throwing knives as well as regular knives, smoke bombs, throwing stars, nunchucks, occassionally sais, but Never samurai swords. Ninjas and samurais are on completely opposite sides of the pole. Samurais follow a code of honor that the ninjas find ridiculous.

Third. The swords seem to have no method of being held up. Where's the belt? or whatever is harnessing it.

Fourth. Her mask should be pulled over her nose. Believe me, it helps. Check out my sig. I'm a ninja. I know from first hand experience.

Fifth. Why is a ninja out in the middle of nowhere? For the most part, ninjas stay reclusive, lurking in the shadows.

The background is brilliant, but the ninjas is just so out of place.

Just my thoughts.
