retrograde Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 I like the lighting accents and of course the overall colouring. Nice job!

ronnyb Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 @giantlobster, OMG, that's amazing, and what I feared you did! How is the performance? What Mac are you on? Did you let any smoke out of the chips? :P That's some serious detail, a feast for the eyes! If I may ask: other than not wanting to give up vector purity / scalability / quality, if you had to do this illustration all over, would you construct it the same way or would you try AD's Pixel persona and appropriate halftone brushes and/or halftone layers clipped to the original vector shapes? Curious about your thoughts... either way, great work! Your wish is my command.

giantlobsterprd Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 So I'm on a 5K iMac quad core i7 with 32gb ram. And to be fair to the computer (and Serif) I haven't really had any performance issues at all. I haven't really played around with halftone brushes.. maybe I should! I guess I prefer to stay with vectors as much as possible so I'm not locked to a particular resolution. I already have my next piece in mind, though, and I might give the brushes a go, just for the sake of learning :) ronnyb and David 2 Quote --- Dan Robinson | Giant Lobster Productions Ltd Web: giantlobster.uk Instagram: @giantlobsterprd "Art is never finished – only abandoned." - LdV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avo Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Those seem to be an individual dots... What if we use not dots but strokes, set to dashed and with right settings? Wanted to illustrate the process, but cant get image here, dunno why, no matter. Maybe this is an obvious method, i dont know ) So we just make a straight line with pen tool, open the stroke palette for it, make the stroke dashed and wide, lets say, 10 px. And also we make first dash 0,1 and second - 4. We get a correctly spaced line of dots, as long as we want. Next we just duplicate this line of dots, move it a lil bit down and right for example - end we get 2 lines of dots positioned in the manner of halftone pattern... From this point we can just duplicate these two lines as many times as we need an just correctly position them under our first lines... So the process gets really fast from this point. And if we need halftoned shapes, we just take this our texture and paste it in the shape we want... What do you think, guys? giantlobsterprd, paolo.limoncelli and MattP 3 Quote Follow me on Dribbble https://dribbble.com/g-avoyan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MattP Posted November 26, 2015 Staff Share Posted November 26, 2015 Nice idea, Avo :) It *might* be a little too regular, perhaps, but for 99% of the time it might be an extremely effective way to produce the effect! :) avo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, if I can get Japanese dots working then this might be a good approach... Will give it a go.

Madame Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I managed to "power duplicate" dots quite fast.

If you do, the line weights don't change and therefore your halftone goes a bit screwy. avo 1 Quote --- Dan Robinson | Giant Lobster Productions Ltd Web: giantlobster.uk Instagram: @giantlobsterprd "Art is never finished – only abandoned." - LdV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do, the line weights don't change and therefore your halftone goes a bit screwy. "Scale with object" option doesn't help? As far as i can see, enabling this option could help at least in situations when you need to make your object twice bigger... When you multiply the size of an object by the whole number... Still wanna try draw something with halftone myself and check it out ) Quote Follow me on Dribbble https://dribbble.com/g-avoyan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
