Oblivion Gate

First attempt at Photoshop illustrating, so it's probably bad, but if I do more of this I'd like to have this video here so I can look back and see if I've improved.
Also, if you don't know, Oblivion gates are from a game called The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Basically, portals to a hellish other world. I did this because my current art project is based on "windows and doorways", and I wanted something that looked cool :P

Nah, just scanned in a biro line drawing at the start, and then everything on top of that was done with a computer mouse.
I do intend to buy a tablet at some point though.

I always called minecraft's nether portals oblivion gates because I heard it somewhere. That's it.

[@oO0Alexx0Oo]

ah, cant forget this music
oblivion is great but shivering isles is awesome! :D

[@DispleasedEskimo]

I look forward to seeing how many thumbs up you get!

[@Arisusa4]

Came out awesome for your first Photoshop illustration!
(and I've been using PS for 5 years now XD )

[@NemisisGanda]

how did you do that o0 i tryied something like this with photoshop too, but i faled hard D:
anyway, nice drawing, makes me happy to see oblivion this days.

[@uzimonkey]

I may be stating the obvious here (or maybe I'm just oblivious), but this is not TF2.

[@WarningSDE]

It looks cool. I like how you thought of this based on it being a door (well, close enough)

[@legice]

damm right=)
I still get goos bumps when listening to the music or just playing the game=)

[@prtynevaends]

man i wanna try that game. looks cool, and its pretty cheap now considering its old.

[@YouDuck2345]

"...so it's probably bad..." Oh. Right. Give me 24 hours in real life and I might be able to draw something that comes close to being 1/12 as good as what you made.

[@yiazmat35]

Looks awesome! I could never do that on photoshop because i suck at that kind of things. But with my trusty pencil and paper i think i could do it.

[@Bordey]

What you now need to do, is a smooth animated version of that.
good work

[@ToX23in]

First attempt at Photoshop illustrating?
You should try some Illustrator photoshopping!
BTW, looks REALLY nice.

[@DispleasedEskimo]

[@xpericfilms]

that's pretty cool, though the streaks on the side could do with a little improvement

[@Riderbooker]

Very nice. Sure as hell kicks the shit out of some of my attempts at digital. o.o
