[Fan Art] Dorothy-Off Contest Entries - Update, Entry #2

P.S. If you're not viewing these images in optimal refresh rates/color settings and gamma, you might be missing out.

Human Dorothy:

Since some people find this amusing, the time it took me to do this first draft was 52 minutes. Pencil Sketch, then Open Canvas. Second draft, approximately 15 minutes of fixing up. Paint Shop Pro. No reference used.



Dorothy in a Dire Situation:

Approximately 30 minutes total. Traditional medium scanned. No tricks, no frills. Sanford Design Ebony - Jet black, extra smooth (14420). Sanford Prismacolor Colorless Blender (PC1007). Staedtler pigment liner - Drawing and Writing, 0.1. This one comes with a message: STAY OFF THE WESTSIDE! Reference used.



Everyday life Dorothy

At first I was going to copy s-girl's painted style... but then I opted for a greater challenge (those of you who "Get it", put the reference in a /spoiler so you don't ruin it for those who don't). To get this specific texture I tried a ton of different things (and about 4 hours of color-picking among other other things!!!) - I created a base layer, used a paintbrush effect on it. Then painted OVER that so any area I didnt touch left a painted effect. Mix of Photoshop/Painter. Entirely on computer. Reference used.

woah sweet...that really realistic...and really well for being done under an hour!

wow...that's awesome! she looks sooo gorgeous and i really love how you did the print on her dress...so soft and beautiful! ^__^

Wow, IamRogerSmith, she's gorgeous. I love the realism and choice of color. Not bad, for the first entry.

Kudos.

Wow. It's Dorothy all grown up! And what a stunning dress, too.

Pygmalion

Nothing to stop Roger hooking up with her now!

That's incredible. I love the dress.

This Dorothy looks like she might be able to scare Angel.

You said this was a first draft? Do you want some critiques?

Best Artist?

...does it have to be anime?? Cos I did a painting...

*edit*
AH! I didn't see that thread further down the page ^^;;;
Excuse my intrusion I thought this was a generic best artist contest =_=

While normally I would say yes... in the case of digital paintings, no. I'm not sure if I'll do a second draft (because I'm very happy with this one, and it depends if I'll need the edge in the contest... haha! ). Thankyou for asking! Very polite of you, darling.

Everyone else - ara ara! Thankyou for the comments! More to come!

u just keep pumpin the great ones out

Wow that is truly amazing.

Yeah, it's one nice picture.

sorry for the bump, but that drawing is excellent.

*cough* BUMP!

The third picture is excellent...

spoiler (highlight to read):

is the reference to another famous painting? For some reason, I keep thinking about Dutch painters. ^_^

Dude, these are really, really, really good. No, good isn't the proper term for these. I believe superb is a better term. At any rate, you and the other artist has really complicated things by producing the finest Dorothy (Big O) art in the world.

Super Kudos!

Really nice job, Gary!

Thanks all! ^__^

More feedback, anyone? ;p
