I need to illustrate the Life area of my London House website which tells the story of a fictional family living in 1890. So I need to be able to do quite a few pictures quickly, and bearing in mind that sadly I do not have the skills possessed by many in this forum!
After experimenting with Poser, I gave up - the fashions I need to illustrate are not available and I cannot afford the time to build my own.
So I returned to good ole XaraX.
The plan is to build a clipart library of different items of clothing at one or two angles each, and then build figures up, tailoring the colours and fills for each. I have used David King's shading technique (thanks) - one layer with texture fill and black lines, and a second with one or more darkened shapes with transparency and no outline.
I have attached my first man - the woman's clothes will be harder as lace etc will require more experimentation. The xar file is huge as it has the bitmap textures but I can make it available if anyone wants it.
Any comments/advice please. Thanks...
