Lately I've notice how people been doing little semi Tute's like these or getting advice. Plus Friends and Customers ask "How do you repose?" "I love your detail do you do Tute's?" And then I notice my progress over the four years and really I have to thank all artist to this day, the reason being some photos/pictures/images are actually their art and for gold I revise it to be comfortable with the Gaia avatar base, So this thread is going to be one of those Buffalo Steak Dinners with a bag of chips.

Rules:
1: you can criticize but please don't down grade
2: You can post ideas for other edits
3: you can use my bases as long as credit is given
4: PLEASE DO NOT STEAL THE EDITS
5: I would love seeing your versions of the picture.

The Project
(Note: I use a program called Gimp some tools maybe different then paint and photoshop but I use layers in the program like crazy. xd )

I Notice This Image In Someone's Signature So I Thought It Would Make The Edit Interesting.

The Current Mess
________________

User Image
I am going to try to make a male version of this
User Image


ok I was able to cut my work a little short with the male considering I made an interesting pose before and I believe this will suit a mage.. but I will alter him slightly, now for the female ^-^ lets draw circles about where her joints are slightly angle the body upward repose the legs and slim the body around the waist so get that hip look in there. Then I drew lines to section it off just in case i wanted to fix something on it.
User Image
This I eliminated the main male base and kept mine of course and then made a new layer and painted under the green sketch lines on the pose I want.

User Image
Ok I finish the base by first tracing the green outline the way I wanted the female avatar to look ... I am purposely ignoring the fact that one of her arms look strongly longer cause that can always be fix later when editing (my way ^-^) then I deleted the green layer, then erased around the edges and ended up what you see above... even though rushed cause I was staying up too late to catch up on this progress.
User Image
^-^ now draw and outline of the clothing of the color your going to use or even go about 3sades darker to help enhance the detail lines a bit.
User Image
Then go back to your original color and for the tint I want go about 3 shades lighter and go ahead and color it in.
User Image
WOOOT It's time to play with the Air brush. I like to use this tool a lot when it comes to shading what I did was too the original color I was sticking with and probably used a #3 and only air brushed around the lines that stood out and then used a #9 with the blur tool to make it look like it more woven in the material.
User Image
Now this is a simple way I found out in detail shading your going to want to go about a little darker then your outline on the clothing and your going to color in the area's you want darken then blur a bit and then make a new layer and blur that layer even more then combine the two layers and you have the main shading.
User Image
Now for the outline and finer detail, I use a ink pen option and down it to a pixel .1 I then outline all the lines and make finer details on the the ruffles and shaded areas then copy the layer to darken them more with the dark color I chose.

I think I will do who I can first and then decide to make it a unisex attire.
