Many thanks, Torbach! Both for showing the texture and for showing them at work alone
I’ll try painting some tomorrow. I think now I know why mine weren’t working.
By the way, do you hand paint it? How do you usually go for painting this kind of texture?
I was doing the following, more or less:
Paint it horizontally, straight, then Polar Coordinates it and see how it’s looking. Then I use Smudge and Eraser to get it to a more desirable shape + use maximum or minimum to get nice white spots, along with Blurs.
PS: If you know any good tutorials on handpainted textures or textures in general, don’t hesitate on dropping it!
by hand, I work indirect and i don’t have any sophisticated tricks, nothing that would be of mention to actual concept artists that demonstrate interesting technique.
largely i’m pixel pushing adding, erasing and smudging is 90% of my work
