[digiartist]

Hi guys,

bit of a change for me...profile work! :)
These were done for Classic publications new Panzerwaffe book. I was given Hilary Louis Doyle's line art and used that as my reference for painting over.

Excellent Gareth, nicely detailed and weathered!

[giant551]

Hi Gareth!

Nothing more to say than wow! 5* Can you tell us how much time you needed to finish these profiles?

Cheers,

[digiartist]

thanks again guys :)

Simon, the profiles take about a day and a half to do each. Having the Line art to start off with helps to cut the production time right down.

Excellent, been a while since I've seen Herr"Wolfie":lol:

[Lukem]

About time you posted some of these mate!

Superb work as ever - my favourite has got to be the '251 (I think) - I love the shrubbery on it, the weathering, etc. I wouldn't mind having a go at one in 3D - that or the 234....

Do you mind me asking? What format did Hilary Doyle's line work come in? Just out of interest you understand...

Oh, yes - 5*.

[digiartist]

heh Luke, Its a 232 I believe.
I got Hilary's drawings as photocopies from the publisher and then just scanned those in and got to work :)

[Lukem]

Okay, so I was only 19 out:D

Thanks for the information mate.

[JP Vieira]

excellent artwork

[gamary]

Remarkable work!

Nothing more to say than wow! 5* Can you tell us how much time you needed to finish these profiles?

Please don't answer that. You'll just frustrate most of us. ;)

[digiartist]

thanks JP

gamary.....I was really pushing myself to get these profiles done for deadlines, and believe me I would have happily taken longer to do them because my eyes were ready to fall out of their sockets after each one.:cry:
The second volume has been a lot better and I've been able to spread the time out a bit more. :)

[Adelscott]

Great job:salute:.
I always wonder myself about how do you "profile-makers" starts to work. From pictures, plains or what?

[Panaristi]

Amazing work as ever :D

[digiartist]

Thanks Panaristi,
Adelscott, I use line drawings as my basis for my profiles, then just paint over them

[Nils]

Excellent paintjob, and good presentation of the structure of the vehicles (say isn't that Luke's little baby there to the left?)
Is it Photoshop or brush media?
