Questions

Yeah no actual artwork to show here. Just me being lazy and asking some questions.

-Would you guys know any good links for life studies (eyes, bones, anatomy, poses)? If so, please share.

-And do any1 of you know how to do the PS dot grid thing that every1 else seems to use and that looks real funky? (ionno how to expain it, and I can't find a pic right now... it's like a lot of dots... argh.)

I'm a bit lazy.

EDIT: I WANT TO KNOW HOW TO DO A BG LIKE THIS! http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/31674037/ those dot things!

Oz had one, it was andrew loomis.. which can be found under the links or references section...

its all i have to offer.

Study from life though, its cool. I drew my ex playing the guitar last night, it was fun. DOnt have a pic becouse i gave it to her ofcourse.

Loomis books are no longer available online.
I'm not sure to see what you mean, for the grid in PS...

Joe, I'm pretty sure they don't know I'm Oz. :P

but they way they're posted is annoying...

Thanks!
I didnt feel like browswing twenty pages of repetitive links and sometimes new ones.

omg. lots of work to do.

Can anyone help me with this? I'm trying to figure out how to attack using an ability. For Example: I'm using wind walk. When i use wind walk I will do attack animation and this is the part I can't firgure out.. How to damage area infront of the unit using wind walk. I've tried some stuff but it still killed a person when I had my back turned... Can someone help?

yeah ok, why did you figure the concept art forums are the right place for this question?

Also, i have no idea WHAT THE HELL you are asking for.

lmao.

Nobody knows how to do the weird dot thing I was talkin about?

fuckign a! :P

what the fuck!? what the fuck!? what the fuck!?

I didn't know what forums are which i'm new to this. I know now that this is the art forums and I will put this in the right location now.

RTFFN!

OK. I found out what I wanted to know...

HOW THE HELL, do i do a similar bg?

I don't know of a particular system for it, per se.
What you could do if you have Photoshop, is just use the circle selection tool.
Create a new layer, Create a small circle selection. Color it solid black.
Hold down CTRL+SHFT and left-click drag the circle however far you want it to be to the right (I suggest having View>>Rulers on). Then repeat as necessary puting circles all the way across your drawing.
Then select this first row, and CTRL+SHFT drag the whole row down to create the next line, etc. etc.

If for some reason your version of PS makes each circle a new layer, keep merging them down into one layer (Layer>>Merge Down)

When you're done, hold CTRL and click on that Layer in the Layers Palette (I think its CTRL). This should select all of the circles. If not for whatever reason you can always do Select>>Load Selection>>Layer Transparency (or something like that).

Copy. (The selection of black circles).
On the Layers Pallete, switch to Alpha Channels.
Create New Channel.
Paste.
Go back to layers palette. Delete layer.
Now you can go to Selection>>Load Selection>>"Alpha Channel You Just Made" and load that circle selection at any time.
Use the circular gradient tool (or w/e) to color the circles however you want.


Hope thats what your looking for...
