Oh, these creatures are really cool Amit!
I played a bit with these notans and they're really fun. At least at the first stage, because when you start rendering you gotta know what the heck is going on in there, otherwise you'll have some weird unreadable shapes.
So I find it pretty easy for hard surfaces, but for organic stuff (like what Amit just did here) I find it pretty hard, so I guess I need more practice. I guess the problem is creating those round shapes with gradients, while still thinking in terms of black and white, so alternating between a hard brush and a soft one. I noticed some hatching, even at Justin Sweet's examples, which looks pretty cool, but I can't figure out how to treat those lines in the rendering stage.
Here's a thing I did:
(Btw off topic, I'm having some issues with my PS, I can't seem to be able to get the correct file size for the jpegs. Even if I drop the quality to minimum, a 1000px wide jpeg is still above 1mb, which can't be right. Anyone experienced this? - now I tried uploading to my blog and it says it has 107kb, lol. I attached it here, it still says 1.17mb, but it works... wow that's really weird)
