Making of 'Ancient Kingdom of India'
Dear friends, I am going to show you the steps to create stunning digital painting.So let's start..I will be using Adobe Photoshop CS4. The theme of my digital painting is 'Ancient Kingdom of India'. Somedays back I visited Lavasa,Pune and captured following image, I am going to use following image as my base image.

Now it's time to add some old Architecture. In Photoshop I used Clone Stamp & Lasso Tool to add Old temple at the left side mountains.

Once added I adjusted its color and then made multiple copies of it and then pasted all over the left side of the mountain.

By the same technique I added temples and fort at the right side of the image, and also added some trees again in the image to fill the gap of buildings and then my image started looking like below.

Then I started adding mountains in the image. Big landscape adds mood in the painting.
Used many mountains and filled the background of the image and then my painting started looking like below image

Last but not the least, to give the sunset effect done lot of Painting, adjusted the colors and shadows, added mist with white color in the mountains. To give dramatic effect, added Ship , added wooden ancient structure, and this is final look of my digital painting.

Making of Lord Krishna-3D
Sharing with you making of my “Lord Krishna”-3D Art. I used three sofwares Autodesk 3ds max , ZBrush & Photoshop. Autodesk 3ds max & ZBrush are used as a modeling & digital sculpting tool to create high-resolution models to use in movies, games, and animations. Photoshop is image editing software
Following is interface of Autodesk 3ds max, where I have imported two reference images of male body you can see currently two views are enabled (front & side). I started modeling the male model.
Started adjusting mesh, after hours of work, I completed basic human model; my intention here was to just create basic male model, not getting into any details.
Once my model is done I started rigging. Rigging basically means adjusting model for the desired pose. For that you need have bones in the character like we do have! Look at the below image I inserted bones in the character, so I can rotate/bend his hands.
Now I have adjusted the model as per my requirement. My model has started taking Krisha Avatar!
Now it’s time to open Zbrush and import all other ornaments of Krishna, which I modeled in 3d max,by same technique of human modeling. So I imported “Krishna ornaments & Krishna model in Zbrush for further detailing.
You can see pose is now correct like Krishna, but model is very low poly, need detailing of character
So I started sculpting of the each and every model which I imported in Zbursh, started with the face of the model. Added some wrinkles & dimple. Adding dimple is so simple J
Then added some more details in the hands, removed some skin, added some skin to give effect of bones, then removed skin from the palm to give effect of Lifelines of the hands!
And then finally my “Lord Krishna” is model is ready for further texturing and painting to add life!
Started applying basic Skin color, I did not want to use blue skin color, as I thought I should avoid it otherwise my Krishna will look like Avatar characters, so purposefully I avoided it, but that is also good choice. After applying skin texture and doing some painting directly on the model. My Krishna model started looking like “Lord Krishna”
Then again I add some more details on the body of the model so that I can add some more realism in the model. Added some more details in the skin so that it will look real.
Now I started rendering to get final output. Rendering is the final process of creating the actual 2D image or animation from the prepared scene. So I rendered it in different passes which helped me to get different skin colors. Then I composited it in Photoshop, and here is the final output of My 3D Art “ Lord Krishna”. . I hope you will like my art. J
