Speed Painting II

How you color good.

Done with traditional media or digitally? If digital with what package and what kind of brush configuration for the mountains?

New page!

Thanks Randuin. The landscape was painted in Photoshop, with the "Airbrush Pen Opacity Flow" (19 px brush by default), and a few finishing touches added with the "Mesh - Large" brush in the Faux Finish Brushes package, both come with PSCS2, although I remember the Airbrush Pen dating back to PS7 at the very least.

Some spams:



(Yeah, this is what happens to my handwriting when I'm more concerned with other things, glaring into the wall (at objects) in this case.)










(All-day pose, if you're wondering):




A couple of poses from imagination:





I found a couple of older scans, a bit over a week ago or so, some master copies.

Rembrandt copy:



Original (after someone scanned it, anyway):



Proud-Hon Study:



Edit: Weird, the satsuma looks like a bright-red apple with my Flatron L1715S screen set to "Movie" mode, while it looks more naturally orange in the default mode. I guess I should be comparing colors on more monitors to see what most people will experiencing my color choices as. (As if I really care )

Orange for Lenny.

So is the bananana...

I like the Eyes on the copy. Gives it a good sense of realism.

And you know what? I'd imganined your writing to be all curly. It slants like it might be left-handed...but I don't think you are.

Although, you're very creative...a good sign of Leftiness.

I'm right-handed, and not familiar with how your handwriting is "supposed" to slant depending on whether you're right- or left handed. Isn't the right half of the brain responsible for creativity?

Some studies/sketches:

I love the matta painting. Impressive.

I agree, the Matte Painting is truly amazing!

And yeah, the Right-side of the brain is responsible for creativity, which is why you find a lot of the more creative people are left-handed -- left-handers are connected to the right side of the brain, and right-handers are connected to the left side.

According to a couple of studies, a persons writing does slant in a direction depending on the hand they write with. Usually lefties would slant slightly towards the right, because of the way we write (especially those who right with the crab-claw method). It'll be interesting to see how Bob writes, he's a leftie too, I think.

But that's all beside the point. The Matte Painting is great. Good job Chruser.

Thanks guys, I'll need to paint more of those later, they're a really good way to learn more about perspective, lighting and composition.

Big batch this time (kind of), been busy lately. Oblivion managed to hog the weekend too, ouch. Good thing my computer sucks so I can't really enjoy the graphics though.

Mostly stuff from imagination this time around, some stuff from life too, and 2-3 characters with reference as help:
