I will spare the details, as they are all described in the making of material. For this piece, I wrote a special PDF walkthrough, which you can read HERE.
Also, here are the video recordings. They were originally 6 hour long but due to youtube's video length restrictions, I had to speed up the files nearly six times. So, here's all seven videos. Please be sure to check the HQ version!
Video 1: Basic scene definition (warning: messy sketches!)
Video 2: Character definition
Video 3: Further character and scene definition
Video 4: Defining carpets
Video 5: Finishing the character
Video 6: Painting pillows and silk
Video 7: Finishing the carpets :)
Well, I hope you had fun watching :-)
PS. Damn, noticed the comment adding option on youtube too late. I'll move my butt to adding some notes then, seems like fun!
Beautiful painting! I can't wait to watch all the vids. Thank you, Marta!
OdpowiedzUsuńHi Marta, your work is truly amazing!
OdpowiedzUsuńI wonder, do you gather reference for this type of work? Like the vests, the posing, etc? I find it really amazing how you come up with those color mixes and amazing detail...
Congrats!!
Thanks a lot for the posts. But just to let you know. You can upload in Google Video files longer than 1 hour. And also if u had done screen capture at a higher resolution, please consider uploading atleast at half HD (1280 x 720) so that people can see the text and settings in your photoshop window
OdpowiedzUsuńGuz: Yep, I do. For this one I used a mix of live as well as photo refs. I treat those more like an inspiriation for general stylization etc rather than straight reference.
OdpowiedzUsuńSuper Saiyan: Google Video uploads are disabled now. i was extremely disappointed, cause that is where I first thought to upload the material :(

OMG
OdpowiedzUsuńIt's breathtaking!!!
I'm a big fan of your paintings!!! They are just amazing!!!I like to read all your tutorials on Imagine FX, they are truly helpful! Thanks for sharing your techniques and I hope to see more and more of your works!!! :D
Girl, you have an understanding for forms - that's just hefty!
OdpowiedzUsuńamazing work :)
OdpowiedzUsuń1 tiny little tip:
While using the paint brush, you can simply right-click to change the brush size and hardness.
It's more time-efficient than having to use the menu in the top left corner every time :)
@ Jan: yeah I know, but TBH I keep forgetting that while I work and just end up looking stupid :P
OdpowiedzUsuńOMG!!! O_O. I've seen Judith at DeviantART, but to see how you did it, it's truly amazing.
OdpowiedzUsuńGood luck!

Found this through DeviantArt, and I'm truly amazed! The picture itself looks so beautiful, but to actually see you paint it is ever better ^^
OdpowiedzUsuńThank you for this, made my day completely ^^
woooooow amazing!
OdpowiedzUsuńwas really a good work..Thanks for sharing
OdpowiedzUsuń@__@ I'm amazed about how you work. Do you have an idea down on paper before you start something like this? Or do you let it take you where it wants with a general idea in mind?
OdpowiedzUsuńHi Martha, great job with this video! Can I write an article on this tutorial on my blog?
OdpowiedzUsuńI am amazed by your talent. The colours are so vivid, the textures are in their proper places, the composition is such that the eye is really led to linger on every single part of the piece.
OdpowiedzUsuńThank you very much for this beautiful piece of work and the matching tutorial! ♥ Also, it was very inspired to pick out Gustav Klimt's portrayal of the biblical Judith as the basis of your work. ;D
Hello,
OdpowiedzUsuńit is really interesting to see the making of. Actually, your paintings were always amazing but that's true it's something new seeing you paint 'quite' in live (6h long would be much too long :P). It's nice of you to share this video, we can understand a little more your technique, which is truly amazing.
You said you use some references but when you're beginning your piece, it seems like you have the exact scene in your head. Is it right or have you changed your mind about things during the process ?
Thanks again for this video, very instructive.

I love your work, Marta!! They are all amazing! =) Thank you for the videos!!! I read all your tuts on Imagine FX too! ^^
OdpowiedzUsuńThank you again!!! =))
ah, the link to pdf file is broken.
Sorry my english. ;)
Thanks so much for posting this! Amazing work and it's fantastic to see how it was created. :) I can't seem to access the .pdf though.
OdpowiedzUsuńThank you for taking the time to post such an informative video about your process. I have admired your work for some time, and it was great to see one unfold before my eyes.
OdpowiedzUsuńOne crit though; I would expect her thoracic arch to fall below her arm, down the body slightly further, but you put it above her arm. I think this makes the torso look a little too short, like she is missing a rib or two.
That's it! Otherwise this is beautiful! I especially love the care that you put in to rendering all of the different types of textiles.
Hi Marta,
OdpowiedzUsuńAmazing, you really can create magic with your female characters.
My CSI side made me comment this :
- Shouldn't there be some blood spill somewhere ?
- Doesn't she look too sexy for someone that has just cut someone's head off ?
You're truly amazing!
OdpowiedzUsuńHello Marta!
