Title: Arretu's Art (returned from the dead) Post by: Arretu on August 07, 2008, 06:54:28 PM (http://fc06.deviantart.com/fs31/i/2008/219/b/f/Stellar_Scene_by_Arretu.jpg)
Number 1, Illustrator CS3 and many, many brushes... Title: Re: Arretu's Art Post by: Arretu on August 07, 2008, 06:55:34 PM (http://fc02.deviantart.com/fs27/i/2008/153/e/2/Space_Sunrise_by_Arretu.jpg)
Number 2, photoshop using mainly filters and the texture tool. Title: Re: Arretu's Art Post by: waylain16 on August 07, 2008, 11:12:36 PM Number one is great
Title: Re: Arretu's Art Post by: Mobius13 on August 07, 2008, 11:22:32 PM you bought photoshop?
:confused: Title: Re: Arretu's Art Post by: the broken on August 08, 2008, 05:49:47 AM both are excellent but i think i prefer the second one
Title: Re: Arretu's Art Post by: Arretu on August 08, 2008, 05:59:11 AM yes of course I ...bought photoshop. what are you implying :P
Title: Re: Arretu's Art Post by: Mobius13 on August 08, 2008, 11:49:08 AM :))
nothing... its just so darn expensive :P I use gimp, is there a difference? Title: Re: Arretu's Art Post by: Arretu on September 26, 2008, 05:37:57 PM a pretty fractal generated using apophysis and edited in photoshop.

Title: Re: Arretu's Art Post by: zephyrblade on September 27, 2008, 05:03:48 AM I love it, but now I feel like some chocolate with caramel in it.
I like how there's so much layered detail in the background. Title: Re: Arretu's Art Post by: waylain16 on September 28, 2008, 01:12:59 AM Dear GOD this man is good
Title: Re: Arretu's Art Post by: Lammalord on September 28, 2008, 04:09:49 AM I like the 1st and the 3rd, the 2nd one looks a little lopsided? an oval?
Title: Re: Arretu's Art Post by: Arretu on September 28, 2008, 09:09:29 AM I like the 1st and the 3rd, the 2nd one looks a little lopsided? an oval? yes the original was the right shape, but the accursed site deviant art stretched it. doh! glad you like it waylain :) and the next piece: I did this one in a different style to both of the others, I was trying to make it look sort of cartoon-like. not sure if it worked, unfortunately, but hey what can ya do. (http://fc78.deviantart.com/fs37/i/2008/272/4/7/Solar_Burst_by_Arretu.jpg) Title: Re: Arretu's Art Post by: waylain16 on September 28, 2008, 09:38:39 PM Sorry but the third is my overall favorite
Title: Re: Arretu's Art Post by: Arretu on September 29, 2008, 02:02:49 AM no need to apologize :P
try this one then (http://fc76.deviantart.com/fs31/i/2008/193/5/4/Fractal_by_Arretu.jpg) Title: Re: Arretu's Art Post by: waylain16 on September 29, 2008, 02:20:29 AM Yea that is awesome too
Second favorite Title: Re: Arretu's Art Post by: Lammalord on September 29, 2008, 11:47:44 AM hmm maybe you can try to clear up the "noise" on the 4th one, make the line a bit smoother - remove the block sploches (on the white line thingy whatch-a-ma-call-it only), or blur/smudge out the black to make it more cleaner.. its looks really good other than that though.. the fade around the circle looks really good, now if you can imitate that on the line shooting out of it :p
the last one, nice :) Title: Re: Arretu's Art Post by: Arretu on October 02, 2008, 02:05:55 PM yeah, the second one is meant to be cartoon-y / poster like, the non smooth fades are intentional.
Title: Re: Arretu's Art Post by: Lammalord on October 02, 2008, 04:21:56 PM the 2nd to last? eh.. i like the look the black sploches on the white "explosion line" just seem like they dont fit... everything else blends.. i think its because it goes from a white to a black with no transition at all..
Title: Re: Arretu's Art Post by: zephyrblade on October 04, 2008, 08:33:06 AM Arretu, you sxc beast, that last one is fantastic. :P
The one before it makes me think of van Gogh. 0o The Starry Night, in particular. Title: Re: Arretu's Art Post by: whitelightercarl on October 11, 2008, 04:00:33 AM Yay Fan art is back B-)
Title: Re: Arretu's Art Post by: Arretu on October 11, 2008, 05:02:17 PM heya carl :)
due to computer problems could be a while before I have something new for you. Title: Re: Arretu's Art Post by: Arretu on November 30, 2008, 07:33:42 PM (http://fc55.deviantart.com/fs38/f/2008/335/d/f/Space_Explosion_by_Arretu.jpg)

Way to go Looks great man Title: Re: Arretu's Art (returned from the dead) Post by: Mobius13 on December 01, 2008, 09:22:11 PM that reminds me of an escape pod leaving and explosion :D
nice job Title: Re: Arretu's Art (returned from the dead) Post by: Arretu on December 13, 2008, 05:24:05 AM I'm a lean, mean photoshop machine!
(http://fc19.deviantart.com/fs38/f/2008/348/6/9/Dark_Clouds_in_Space_by_Arretu.jpg) Title: Re: Arretu's Art (returned from the dead) Post by: waylain16 on December 13, 2008, 01:55:46 PM Kinda cool
So are you an artist Or you just like messing around with your computer Whatever it is you are really good Title: Re: Arretu's Art (returned from the dead) Post by: Arretu on December 13, 2008, 08:59:38 PM a bit of both tbh. I have done a few real money commissions in photography, computer based work and one canvas. mainly I enjoy using photoshop and illustrator to make pretty lights.
Title: Re: Arretu's Art (returned from the dead) Post by: waylain16 on December 14, 2008, 02:14:31 AM I love pretty lights

Title: Re: Arretu's Art (returned from the dead) Post by: waylain16 on March 14, 2009, 03:56:56 AM I hope
I dont think he actually plays Or has ever played. Just a photoshop god Title: Re: Arretu's Art (returned from the dead) Post by: Arretu on March 15, 2009, 10:15:41 AM heya guys! nothing right this second, just here to explain my loooong absence! :sorry:
Basically, was biking on my way to town, a car skidded on a patch of ice and took me out. Nothing too serious, but a somewhat painful broken leg and most of the ribs on my left side went as well, resulting in a punctured lung. I do play by the way, just only on wars, and I am somewhat fail!!! Hope to be back to work asap, and ofc Ill post here first :) Arr (nice comments greatly appreciated, Seither) Title: Re: Arretu's Art (returned from the dead) Post by: Fairfrozen01 on March 15, 2009, 04:35:38 PM good job arretu, welcome back, and i hope you get better soon :wounded1:
Title: Re: Arretu's Art (returned from the dead) Post by: waylain16 on March 15, 2009, 10:05:50 PM Sounds like my luck
Car skidded and took me out Title: Re: Arretu's Art (returned from the dead) Post by: Fairfrozen01 on March 15, 2009, 10:38:17 PM lol :12:
Title: Re: Arretu's Art (returned from the dead) Post by: Arretu on March 17, 2009, 12:35:22 PM well, I am an impatient person. what can I say. Incedentally, after reading through the fan art forums, Seither when do I get to be officialised like ricu and 0cassin :)) :2: :please:
(http://fc13.deviantart.com/fs44/f/2009/076/3/9/Pink_Star_by_Arretu.jpg) Title: Re: Arretu's Art (returned from the dead) Post by: Arretu on March 17, 2009, 07:13:28 PM ZOMG its 2 for 1 day!!!!!! This is a work in progress, and won't be so boring when I am done with it. *cracks knuckles ominously*
I do like the effect so far. (http://fc37.deviantart.com/fs42/f/2009/076/0/1/nebbgWIP_by_Arretu.jpg) Title: Re: Arretu's Art (returned from the dead) Post by: Fairfrozen01 on March 17, 2009, 08:16:20 PM nice
EDIT: Got more? XD Title: Re: Arretu's Art (returned from the dead) Post by: Arretu on March 18, 2009, 05:12:09 PM patience, my friend. was away at a university interview today, won't be doing anything till the weekend probably. depends.
Title: Re: Arretu's Art (returned from the dead) Post by: Seither on March 18, 2009, 07:04:57 PM as of now *slams stamp of official artist-hood onto Arretu*.
Title: Re: Arretu's Art (returned from the dead) Post by: waylain16 on March 21, 2009, 12:44:27 PM The second one BLOWS MY FREAKIN MIND
How do you do that Title: Re: Arretu's Art (returned from the dead) Post by: Arretu on March 21, 2009, 08:42:54 PM waylain: time and practise.
removed for renovation :)) Title: Re: Arretu's Art (returned from the dead) Post by: Arretu on March 29, 2009, 10:58:58 AM and another "real" bit of work.
(http://fc38.deviantart.com/fs45/f/2009/088/1/7/Ship_of_the_Damned_by_Arretu.jpg) Title: Re: Arretu's Art (returned from the dead) Post by: Arretu on April 11, 2009, 06:35:13 AM (http://fc39.deviantart.com/fs42/f/2009/101/a/e/Ancient_Superweapon_by_Arretu.jpg)
I think this might be my best piece. The remnants of an ancient superweapon. Title: Re: Arretu's Art (returned from the dead) Post by: Arretu on April 13, 2009, 04:16:08 AM Decided to do something a bit smaller for a change. I think it turned out well. Comments?
(http://fc04.deviantart.com/fs43/f/2009/103/4/b/Space_Wreckage_by_Arretu.jpg) This one is a pretty complex piece. First we have the clouds in the background, then the sun. There is also a planetary ring there, though it is a bit hard to see. Finally in the foreground some wreckage. I like to think it was a hauling ship transporting Rick Astley CDs. Title: Re: Arretu's Art (returned from the dead) Post by: Arretu on April 13, 2009, 04:21:59 AM Ancient space weapon returns!
(http://fc02.deviantart.com/fs45/f/2009/103/0/d/The_Ancient_Wreckage_Returns_by_Arretu.jpg) Title: Re: Arretu's Art (returned from the dead) Post by: waylain16 on April 13, 2009, 04:32:22 AM I'm speechless
The detail and craftsmanship on the last is well amazing just doesn't describe how great it is WOW Just WOW Title: Re: Arretu's Art (returned from the dead) Post by: Seither on April 20, 2009, 09:48:26 PM ok arretu, I'd love to have permission to use your last picture there as the cover for my SO III book. full credit will be given of course. Because that awesome piece of art right there is not only perfect for that book's cover, it screams to be shown all over the world.
Title: Re: Arretu's Art (returned from the dead) Post by: Arretu on April 21, 2009, 12:41:07 PM You are very welcome to do so. Do I get a free copy :P
Will certainly be a paying customer otherwise. Arr Title: Re: Arretu's Art (returned from the dead) Post by: Seither on April 21, 2009, 06:07:49 PM you get a huge discount, it sadly won't be free, not able to do that or i would (site doesn't allow it).
Title: Re: Arretu's Art (returned from the dead) Post by: Arretu on April 24, 2009, 12:26:25 PM Fine by me, I am always willing to pay for literature :)
Lemme know when it exists :12: Title: Re: Arretu's Art (returned from the dead) Post by: Lammalord on May 03, 2009, 01:28:22 AM :wow:
I came back with a new computer to (obviously) find a background and this was my first stop due to asumeness... So Arretu, I been wondering, I have a kinda description that I been wanting to get drawn, I gave it to someone else and got a pretty picture but have been curious on what others can do with it :) send me a mail if you wanna try it out, as i dont check the forums often :) Title: Re: Arretu's Art (returned from the dead) Post by: Arretu on May 10, 2009, 11:50:07 AM added you on MSN, but havent seen ya on. I'll be glad to give it a go, but no promises as swamped with "real" work atm. I'll try sending ya a mail :)
Title: Re: Arretu's Art (returned from the dead) Post by: Lammalord on May 30, 2009, 06:49:57 AM wow, almost a month later on a spur of the moment middle of the night writing spree I finally mail you back the passage. But thats a writers life for you.
Couldn't sleep cause I suddenly had the description I wanted drawn stuck in my head - a month after I asked (lol) (grumble - making me stay up all night suddenly to dig though my past emails find your adress and finally write back...) enjoy! and if anything is wrong, just mail me back! PS: if you're not up to the task, don't worry about it. PSS: all your pictures are gone on this page (WHAAAAAAAA no more new backgrounds for my computer!?) PSSS: good luck :) Title: Packing it in. Post by: Arretu on August 12, 2009, 05:49:01 PM As some of you may know, I have been very unwell for the last year or so. As such I will no longer be doing any form of work which will be posted here. Will still be around on space-o, I no longer have the motivation to work on things like this. I may resume my work at some point, but this is a notice of closure for the moment in time. I will however leave you a farewell gift, in the next post.
If a moderator could remove this thread in a few weeks once those who read it have had a chance to see this post, I would appreciate it. Arretu. Title: Re: Arretu's Art (returned from the dead) Post by: Arretu on August 12, 2009, 05:56:51 PM A nova. Maybe.
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3071/3816107522_6ddd225108_o.jpg) Title: Re: Arretu's Art (returned from the dead) Post by: Arretu on August 12, 2009, 05:58:03 PM This was going to be used as a backdrop for my first intact ship design, which was never completed. The background is done. The ship was going to be red and gold, hence the rather dull colours here.

Title: Re: Arretu's Art (returned from the dead) Post by: Arretu on June 04, 2010, 12:38:26 PM *Looks around the gallery in bemusement*
"Guys? Guys......?" Title: Re: Arretu's Art (returned from the dead) Post by: KenquinnTheInsaneOne on June 04, 2010, 01:04:33 PM That looks a bit too muddy for a general ship picture. People kind of think space is colorful and bright due to all the telescope pictures we get.
It could work if the ship was damage and scared from battle/wear and tear. Title: Re: Arretu's Art (returned from the dead) Post by: Arretu on June 05, 2010, 07:38:37 AM People are misinformed :))
In any case, I no longer have the originals for that one, so I'd have to redo the whole thing. For now, I plan to chill and draw what I feel like, see how things go. Thanks for the critique, much appreciated. Title: Re: Arretu's Art (returned from the dead) Post by: Lammalord on June 11, 2010, 03:07:28 PM *shuffles feet* fine fine, ill check it out... keep pming me.....
oooohhhhhh those are nice :) I like the blue one :) the planet (sorry) looks kind of plain, like something i can do in half an hour (and have before) cause the tutorials really are not that hard :S Title: Re: Arretu's Art (returned from the dead) Post by: Arretu on June 11, 2010, 03:45:13 PM indeed indeed, I'm back to warm-ups for now :P
