Looking for creative input

[Medley]

I was messing around with my tablet last night, and came up with this:



Now most of the time, I don't even save these "doodles". But I see a lot of potential in this one, and a lot of directions I could go with it.

What I'd like to know is what YOU see inthis image. Any input from you creative types would be appreciated.

Looks like the earth with a big chunk taken out of it i think you should darken it up and make it into a space kinda scene

tablet is a item, that allows u too draw directely onto the comp screen, instead of scanning a image.

Electrified, you NEED one of these, lol.

Here's the tablet I use- The Wacom Intuous3 6x8:


I did a lot of research before I bought mine, and this is the one I consider the best.

The pen and tablet interact with each other. If you open Photoshop and go to the right-hand side of the top toolbar, you'll see a tab labeled "brushes". Explore inside this tab, and you'll find all sorts of ways to control the brushes, and how each one is controlled. For example, imagine using a brush that changes size depending on how much pressure you apply to the pen. Or opacity. Or both. Imagine a round brush that becomes oblong when you tilt the pen. Imagine a brush the rotates when you turn the pen. Imagine being able to use the pen exactly like an airbrush. All of these things are possible with a graphics tablet (though some require an upgrade to the pen itself.)

Graphire tablets (one step down from Intuos3, same company) doesn't offer the pen upgrade, nor does it have as many levels of pressure sensitivity (which may not be as terrible as it sounds).

Having seen some of your work Electrified, I'm actually rather surprised you don't have a graphics tablet. Imagine what you could accomplish with one.

Alk, I normally don't post my work unless it's to illustrate a point or ask a question. Since you asked however, here's some links:

Any and all comments are welcome.

I've never used a sig here either. It's not that I don't have them, I just consider it redundant to use a sig if you sign your posts.

Cool, I have that same tablet. Could you explain how you do the lightning. I really want to do it but I can't figure it out.

[Excruciating]

It's a water drop falling to the ground seen from a frog-perspective. But you need to add more drops falling down and a background to make it work
Plus change the lighting a bit, but I like it that it's red-ish.
That's what I was thinking I would make.

[ramnosity]

Wow, excruciating. I'm glad you see that because I sure don't. haha. It looks like a frogs eye to me.

10x for the explanation guys.Come to think of it i've seen these so called tablets but i didn't know that they were called that way.It has to be a very usefull tool,maybe i'll get one.

Nice work Medley i especially like the IceQueen and the Winter3-1
