Alex Ruiz Digital Painting Tutorial 1 - Invasion. Invasion Tutorial The first of three tutorials create by Alex Ruiz and reworded by Lloyd Harvey (with permission of course) for this blog. 1) Starting off in Photoshop and in greyscale, Alex created the character silhouette up close and roughly, not worrying about details at this point. Next he added a bluish green gradient, set to multiply and then started adding detail to the character. He did this by setting the paint brush to colour dodge and added light to parts of the helmet, body suit and in the background. 2) Next he extended the canvas out to the right and painted in some no non-descript textured light using big shapes. 3) Detail is now added and if you look closely in picture 2, you can almost see the faint lines that served as compositional guidelines for the perspective and the buildings. 4) The Canvas is extended again for a more epic view and more work is spent on the buildings. 5) The painting area is widened once more with the intention to give it a cinematic feel.

The file was opened in Photoshop and up-converted to a CMYK file. At this point in the project the photographic reference started arriving from the client.

A Not Quite Normal Blog. 2DArtist Magazine. Danny draws. Video Game's Finest Pay Tribute To Artist Frank Frazetta - frank. This is something special, for someone special. I'm proud of our industry. #1 This is a striking piece, and I'm glad you choose it to represent the entire article. The painting style is definitely Frank's, but it's also reflective of whoever the original artist is. The way the smoke holds the archetypal warrior, and the dying, blackened rose in her hands: these images are definitely well-placed symbols that harken back to Frank. #2 Simple and yet striking. Colourless for that very fact, I presume. Still, it manages to epitomise Frank's work pretty well. #3 I think it's pretty obvious that this one is reflective of heavy metal's adoption of the fantasy genre — see Manowar.

. #4 Something from StarCraft? There are all sorts of connotations for mourning, passing away into heaven and generally showing respect. . #5 Nice work here, with the whole pixelated approach. Maybe it's not archetypal enough, or that nothing really stands out. . #7 Now this one's much better. . #9 Finally (for now) we have 9.
