Half Baked Zoiu Website

Well, I gonna do a little making of for the website image. I'm in the middle of it! The blue "balloon" is the "mouse over" state of the site buttons. It's gonna change a lot yet but we can have an idea of the final felling already. I try to always begin an illustration with the basic colors and shadows. Than I go to high lights, textures and smaller details. I did the initial drawing in Flash and now I'm finishing it in Photoshop. I always begin with big brushes and big opacity and ends with smaller brushes and smaller opacity... That's just the general rule of course, I like to vary a lot.

I have a new monitor now, a SyncMaster 2232bw and one thing I could say already is that the Cintiq 12wx has not as much contrast as the monitor, so I can't see all the details of the illustration on the Cintiq. A turn around is that I can duplicate my window at photoshop and work on the Cintiq but using the monitor to keep track of my details. I don't look at it all the time. Manly when I smudging out stuff.

More images soon!
