    Hello there,I have attempted to make a KAG background and well it turned out pretty bad,but I'd like to share my failure to the Medieval World :D enjoy(or don't)

    This background is in 1600x900 resolution

    EDIT: I Made another badly made background which hilariously went out of the KAG theme,
    enjoy a badly drawn smoking knight :D[​IMG]

    i need a mentor and a graphic tablet,don't I?

    I find it not good enough, does not really fits whole KAG feeling, also you really have to spend time working on your painting skills.

    Thank you And YES i think i could've done much better by adding shadows,more crates.better color,more detail on the characters...etc.Thank you for the comment though :D I promise I will try to make another better

    EDIT: LostPix have you ever tried Corel Painter 12(software i used for fail background)I can't get the hang of it

    Try to learn Photoshop too, Corel Painter has neat easy way to rotate canvas (photoshop too but later versions) I think you should try out to draw some perspective lines and use as a guide, also watch some tutorials to get good knowledge.

    Try to study their approach and the way they use colour and perspective in combination with brush strokes, if you do not have a tablet you should get one, you can buy cheap but good Wacom Bamboo and it has pressure sensitivity, size should be good enough, if tablet surface feels weird for you because you might be having weird switches transferring from traditional to digital, you can stick a piece of paper over tablet surface with some tape.

    Also what I noticed, don't stick your watermark all over the piece you've done, you do not want your signature to be in visible spot, rather small hand written in corner with date instead of font.
