I love the work you did on Briarbridge Patrol! Specifically, the gorgeous hound featured. Was there any inspiration for him (or her)? I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work in the future, keep it up!

Thanks Chris! No specific inspiration just looked at google images and tried to give him/her that trusty old dog vibe :)

Greetings,I'm currently in the process of learning the AO technique, and I discovered that you've created this image (tumblr_o1f9f4eFCI1s8oti1o1_500) thanks to this technique. Would it be possible for you to share some higher resolutions pictures of your AO pass and lighting rendering? I would be so glad. Just so that you're not wondering too much what is my goal, I have started this AO technique with my last images you can look here: lostpapers deviantart com

Hey I just saw this message, not sure how long ago you sent it but I’d be happy to help! Here’s a high res AO pass that I did for that piece http://tinyurl.com/h5bsobd

I’m not expert at this, and it was my first try so this is far from perfect. I highly recommend Alex Negrea’s tutorial on this which is awesome: https://gumroad.com/alexnegrea

I think you did a pretty good job on that sci-fi character on your DeviantArt. You can probably spend a little more time on it and darken some of the crevices. You should definitely check out Alex’s tutorial, he explains it and understands it better than me :P Hope it helps!

Not much of a tutorial but I thought I'd share the process of this piece. This was the first time I tried the ambient occlusion painting technique. I think it can get some great results, but it definitely requires a lot of patience in the beginning (as you can tell, I didn't finish certain areas!) I still have a lot to learn to become more proficient with it so I'll probably be trying it again :)
