Gare's non-Xara Art

[Gare]

I needed a model to then stylize in Xara, and found almost the perfect pose online at a woman's apparel shop. Can't use that photo, so I carefully lit a Poser model in Luxology modo. I'll post the final image in my Xara gallery, but I didn't think this filtered render was too awful, either.

This is what I finally arrived at; something I'm drawing over with Xara, and re-interpreting in sort of a an impressionist way:

I'm thinking that the person she's looking at, is in serious trouble!

My kid brother asked me to create labels for his party mix collection, so I dimensionalized characters from both RockABilly and DF-Attitudes typefaces. I think it hangs together okay.

Very nice work Gary, I really like the image and the amber effect!
I hope your brother realize the work involved..

Thanks. Tools used: I did a lot of modifying of the original typefaces in Xara, exported from Xara to Illustrator file format, imported to Luxology modo, dimensionalized the paths and did the lighting and rendering from there.

I think I did this as part of a tutorial a few years ago, on how to manipulate and arrange layers. I just liked the overall design...



Happy thanksgiving, America!

My Best,

I like the smoke effect. Of course the whole piece is nice.

Gary,

Your artwork rekindles the meaning of "awesome" because when I was viewing it, I was filled with quite some awe!

Great eye and meticulous attention to detail.

With tens of thousands of images on your hard-drive, (hopefully) this will be a thread without end.

Peace

James
