Glorybound,

Very nice feel and look. Is this down with Impression? Pirensi? Photoshop?

Thanks! I used Pirenisi and Photoshop… I’ll do up a little tutorial :slight_smile:

As someone who used to do watercolors, these don’t even come close to the real thing. I know developers don’t want to be tied down to photo quality renderings, i get that. But these are just a poor man’s substitute. No offense to you, Bobby. But when placed next to a real watercolor, they are orchids to rocks. The real thing can be exquisite when done by the right hand.

Amen, and amen! I had a hard time convincing the architect to invest 2 days of my time into this illustration. Design change took place up to hour one before it had to go out. I appreciate traditional work, and I am doing more of it, on my own dime. I have figured out that there is a difference between art as a hobby and art as a profession, generally speaking. I think it turned out good, for what it is.

FWIW… here is a link to a guy i went to ARCH. school with at OSU.. he continues on in watercolor tradition…

I follow him on Twitter and I love his work! He is in my inspirational bookmarks, too.

Well, if you follow him that close then here is some useless info on him. My girlfriend at the time, among a number of other women around us, all had big crushes on him back then. He was smart, handsome, an incredibly nice guy, a rockstar of the Arch. class without the rockstar ego. After graduation, I’m not sure why he gravitated towards doing illustrations instead of doing more design. Maybe he felt freer doing that.
When we graduated, we all went our seprate ways.

I follow him on Google+, and only within the past month. He is good, but from what I have seen, he doesn’t do architectural watercolors. What I see is more site illustrations.

You might want to take a look at his site again. The Architectural section and design section are almost all architectural watercolors.

Bobby, a tutorial would be great, the image is very nice! My employer is asking me to do some water color images of our products. Are you going the tutorial post it here?

You can accomplish everything in PS, but rendering out an EPIX from MAX is pretty cool. You basically paint, like in PhotoShop, but it respects the z-depth channel.
