Help with eyes?
« on: February 03, 2012, 03:22:26 AM »
So I'm working on my first custom and I kind of did a bad paint job with the eyes  :blush:  I have better paintbrushes now, so does anyone know how I can fix this? Here's a pic (sorry about my camera skills):

Are you looking to completely repaint them or just work with what you've done so far?

I'd like to know the same. :)  In general, I suppose, working in relatively thin paint layers is about the best advice I have for eyes.

if you are looking to repaint them with a smaller brush i have a tutorial (tho its for g3 eyes, I apply the same techniques for g4s) http://www.jupitergraphics.net/tut.htm

if you want to try and make changes to what you have, because you have a good base laid down for eyes,  you could lengthen the lashes to more of a point...nothing wrong with long lashes ^_^
Can't wait to see her completed! that body color is lovely!

So, is there a G4 Eye tutorial somewhere? Honestly, I'm terrified of continuing work on Luna just because I don't want to screw up her eyes hardcore....I think that would be helpful for all involved in the thread XD Honestly, the style has changed since G3s, mostly in terms of the way they're colored I think...The gradient? I'd love a tutorial on those...

But yeah, the basic principles of the G3 tutorial is a good place to start. Start with a white base, thin outline fore the outlashes and color the inside. Black pupils first, colored inside next, and highlight. Me, I wanna know how to do these crazy layered gradient eyes with the pretty flecks I keep seeing people doing!
