thanks, because of this the more i get excited and inspired. so i think i need to ride on contemporary tech applying it through painting. the same way done by some of what we called masters. the first painting is in progress... keep you updated.

ok here is my painting#1

Gaieus

Now that's really cool.
Maybe some bump maps to imitate the "real" brush strokes? It's too much like a photo now.

That looks great
Refreshing to see some hand-made art for a change...
I must say that making a 3d rendering is a nice way to configure a 'still life'...and as you prove it can be a very nice alternative to physically place and arrange objects in your painting studio.

Also, your 'clair-obscur' painting technique is wonderful. The contrast between light and dark really is materialised both in color as in texture. Big cloudy brush strokes to mimic dramatic variations in shadow parts, while using a soft and small brush to get that silk feel for the highlights on the statue.

This really breaths your topic of worship.

Great work Nomer and I love it that you posted this 'real' artwork .

Cheers,
Kwistenbiebel

By the way: Is that acrylic paint?

nomeradona

thanks guys...

nomeradona

thanks gai, christ... its fulfilling to hear appreciation from you guys.
my co-art teacher here encourage me always to pursue such approach, because he said very few people has both skills and talent in both 3dcomputer and painting.

gai was right to point out about brush techniques. i purposely used finger to smudge the oil on canvass to have a smoother effect but forgetting the use of brushstrokes to reveal the brush texture...

as for lighting and viewpoint, i found out that this is the advantage and how useful 3d application are. before even working, we all the planning stage in finding the right and most intriguing angles. and for the lights, i really love these rendering engines to help us in showing the effects of light in the scene. i am very happy with the outcome, but there are still a lot of things to learn both in using 3d and in painting.

the media i used was oil paint, the media size is 60cm X 80cm.
im now doing the second one "mother and child" which i rendered using podium. im using acrylic this time.

I wish I could see it up close in "real life". I get the feeling that I'm missing a lot by seeing a picture of a picture (of a picture).

SchreiberBike it wasn't even real... this is just a representation. i reworked a 3ds model shared by friend and used it as inspiration. then i studied the lighting effect in vray and used sketchup in finding a good viewpoint. after rendering then i copied the angles and lighting effects but changing the material and texture.

I am confused.

Do you mean the jpg you posted above at http://www.sketchucation.com/scf/viewtopic.php?p=33575#p33575 is a rendering including the easel and the background?

When you said "the media i used was oil paint, the media size is 60cm X 80cm", you meant a Photo shop interpretation of oil paint?

Or do you mean to say that the statuette isn't real, but that it was modeled and rendered, then you painted with real brushes and real oils on real canvas a version of the rendering?

Like I said, I'm confused.

nomeradona

hehehe... im confused now too.

ok just to clarify.

the model was a 3d model from my friend then i remodelled it.
i imported in in sketchup and rendered in vray.
after that i used this rendered image as reference for my painting.
after doing the oil painting, i pictured it and sent it here. the one i pictured was actually an oil painting (not photoshop) and the size is 60cm x80cm.

Art is all about layers of meaning. This piece has lots of layers. Now I think I understand one of the sets of layers.

Regardless of the layers, it's a nice painting and your technique may lead to more and more interesting ideas.

updating this with another finished painting before. i treated the surface with mixed media paste to create texture before painting it.
