This was a fun commission from Gummibear! I haven't really had a character attached to my "Lando" name since like, 2004. So he threw money at me and suggested I make a chipmunk character to fill that role
It was quite interesting trying to matte a painting into a background to create an effect similar to how it's accomplished in the movies. The background is a picture of my desk.
Edit: I tried to address some lighting and grain issues to make it fit better :3 thanks for your crits, guys!
Also: a cropped bit that I will use for my dA ID that's all depth-of-fieldy
now that's impressive. the only significant difference the painting and the background is the camera noise! I've seen artists do this before so many times with miserable failure, so yeah, fantastic work :3

np :3 I especially like the glow under him from the tablet. it's a nice detail that makes it looks like he's actually standing on it, rather than floating in front of the background

DAMN be careful you don't scratch your tablet with those little feet claws! The fact that you used a photo of your own desk only heightens the illusion and if I hadn't watched you do this I would have sworn someone sent you a sclupty statue of your character as a gift. Either that or like Schnique said, you've been keeping secrets from us. :D *Two thumbs way up!*

So many great subtle things in this! I love how you matched the film grain with the photo elements. Hell, you even got the reflection in the tablet down, even as far as changing the way the light scatters as the surface material changes.
You are a force of nature.

I must say though - I feel he'd be sitting in the environment a bit more if you emphasized the light from the right monitor though. His right side has like, the SLIGHTEST hint of it - but I think you could push it a bit more next time =)
Looks awesome though - really lovin' the vivid feel. The hoodie sits on the body really nicely.
That's lovely! I must say though - I feel he'd be sitting in the environment a bit more if you emph
But see if you can bring a bit more on the belly part of the sweater - rim lighting wise. And the SLIGHTEST HINT on the left leg. I think that'd do it!
Just from what you've done has really punched up the readability - good on ya bro =)
Quite a bit so ^-^! But see if you can bring a bit more on the belly part of the sweater - rim ligh
Okay, I'm gonna say. You look hotter than Simon. I mean, that's saying a LOT coming from me, but those glasses... *drools* XD I love that style of frame so much <3

I knew it... Lando is actually a Chipmunk! A cute one at that. ^_^
Awesome Job on this by the way. Awesome job inserting your work into the picture and making it look like he is actually there. I know that is not easy to do (i have tried).

* Simon would create some ambient occlusion on the table near him. Ideally, you'd see a bit of reflection on the table, but you can fix it by running the background on photoshop and create a darker shadow there * Noise has already been mentioned (Simon looks too crisp :3) * I don't know how bright the cintiq is, but some light should be shining up his crotch, I think? I'm not really sure there * Also, I'm seriously worry about the lack of penis :3~~~
Love the picture, btw :3~
Okay, looks awesome yadda yadda yadda. Here's how you can make it even awesomer :3 * Simon would c
Spectacular stuff. The only thing that really made me realize this was a matte was the right handpaw. Imo the contrast is a little too big there, but that's literally the only thing I can tell right now. Keep on humbling us. :3

Simon just met his match for the most hansom munk title. You did one hell of a job making him look like he belongs there!
What camera did you use to take the picture? The noise from the picture *really* stands out on my tv, especially under the desk. I'd like to poke at it a little and see if I can't clean it up a bit.

It looks great on my monitors! It just looked like someone sneezed on the picture in that one particular area. I couldn't remove the noise in that area without making it look funky, so I overlaid a black layer at 8% (I think?) transparency. It worked out very well!
One of my co-workers just stopped by to drop something off and all he could say was that's amazing! Over and over and over!

Second, I'm starting drawing soon, I've already started on a sketchbook but am having trouble with how to even start a sketch!
Also, I was wondering is there's a difference between having a small wacom or those other things that use pens and a medium/large one? Or if It matters if I have a mouse to go with it and how it could help in any way.
Wow.. a lot a questions in one comment^^... You da best!

Personally, I don't ever use the mouse that comes with the tablets, I use my own logitech mouse. As for the size, it's not really a big deal either way, especially as a beginner. Obviously, larger ones allow for longer strokes, but any artist can make due with a smaller size no problem :3

I was a bit curious it looks like you quite a few music recording tools there. Are you a muscision?
P.S. can you give me a few pointers on sketching body parts using geometric shapes? I believe that's the sketching style you use. Most artists choose that style over geometric measurements.. *shivers*...math ><!

I don't do anything musical myself x3 I do enjoy music, however! I'm probably not the best person to ask for advice on anatomy, since I have very little skill in that area. Mostly I just scribble and hope what comes out looks half-right.

I think it's great (like a whole heck of a lot of your other stuff, if not all of it). You know, the more I look at it, the more I think your appearance is the perfect cross between Simon and Alvin.
