New family (WIP)

Thought it was time I tried doing something start to finish in AD, so here's a work in progress pic of it.

I like it. :) 
May I ask.. how big is your background layer (pixels), and on what terms do you decide the size?

[houseofdeadleg]

If I'm understanding the question correctly, the document is A3 size, 300 dpi. 

 

The attachment is cropped down to show a bit more detail, there's an area of image around it and then a further area of white space around the whole image acting as a pasteboard.

I like what it looks like! Wanna see the final image...

[Madame]

Thank you, houseofdeadleg.

Very Nice. A simple art (in a positive sense), really impressive.

I've been working on this a little bit here and there, I stopped for a couple of weeks because there was one AI feature missing from AD that I wanted to use – vector distortion/warp/envelope tools. I was hoping to do the whole image in AD but I got to the point where I just wanted to get it done, so I had to skew the artwork for the book cover in Photoshop and place in in the file, rather than just skewing/distorting the vector artwork as I wanted to do.

 

I might do a few more bits like highlights, etc, but otherwise it's fairly much done.

Lovely, really nice work on the texturing. 

Once the warp tools get introduced Designer will be brilliant.

[houseofdeadleg]

Cheers:) Yeah, a few bugs fixed and a couple of features added then it'll be a full Illustrator replacement.

Great work :) Very nice details and shadowing/texturing. Love how you have worked the colour/shadows on the ground near the table.

Looking forward for more!
