Description
Only 80% done and I've already lost my patience with it.So I'll let it rest for a while longer before I can continue...
I kinda regret making this a long digital painting... there was a reason why I quit digital and matte painting... no matter what... it looks digital ;_; and I don't like it!
we'll see where this goes. Time to start the next illustration.

Wilson Kane wins a fortune and his future bride at a game of dice from the former pirate Balthasar. When he decides to go and get the girl, the pirate way, by kidnapping her, not only he finds out that she is more than a pirate could ever want from a wife... but that she has 4 identical sisters as well. This discovery hits him when his men, who were supposed to help him out, each kidnaps a different girl... and none of them gets the right one! But Wilson Kane wants the girl he had met and no one else! Luckily for him it will be the girl herself to solve his problem and put an end to his dilemma... a solution that will eventually fling her into a world of adventures on the Mediterranean sea.

Wow, it's beautiful! This could pass as finished, but I can't wait to see what the next 20% will add to it...
Like Charoi said, if it's digital it will always look that way... If it's not supposed to look digital then why not use a different technique?
But I understand what you mean, I like the traditional feeling better.

I know... digital is digital, sigh.
I wanted to try it one more time since I got CS5 (I have to say I don't like it more than cs4, so I switched back).
In the end I also switched back on the wacom tablet and reverting to 4 it went faster... the new wacoms, no matter how much you set them, really don't feel my hand for some reason.
I always work with flow and opacity.
On one side I wanted to see if I could still do it... you know, matte painting and stuff (since it gave me bread). On the other end while I was painting it I started feeling again all the reason why I don't like the sleek digital look: everything looks like plastic!
I haven't tried acrylics in a long time. Maybe I should try the next one in acrylic.

I don't think it is bad when something looks digital if it's done digitally (of course, in this case you don't want it to look like that, so I understand) and that alone doesn't mean it's bad. This one here looks very beautiful, and I especially love the mermaid. And the movement is very good too. I just can't help wondering why Cat fell off the boat D: maybe he think he saw something on the water and tries to look closer... I just hope Callista didin't pull him to water D: though she doesn't seem to want to drown him, luckily...
How much time this took?

See the whole idea was that he dives and goes something like: here I am.
So it is supposed to be an underwater date.
Cat is not finished yet.
So far it took me 18 hours.
