Old Unused Passage, Ales 'artie' Horak (2D)

[southerncomfort]

WOW!! OMG!! Is it really 2D?? Great mood and atmosphere! I lov it. If you could do a distant figure, it will have a more mystic feel to it. More story to the already powerful composition.:thumbsup:

[svenners]

Wow, great textures and lighting. Very very nice. The highlites on the vines(?) seem to suggest that they're either wet or slimy. I'm not sure if that was intentional though.

[El Toro]

I totally agree with southerncomfort, great ambient and really nice lightning. :thumbsup:

[dgpilot]

Excellent work, welcome to CGtalk. I love the details and the light, very moody

[Predator|NL]

|This looks realy great!! A figure in the distanse would idd look cool..

[skyman00]

Artie-
Great lighting and wonderful feel. Beautiful 2D work.

[giza]

Great perspective and lighting.

[DanVL]

wow that's really awesome. I love the detail you put in every part of your illustration. Curious though, as I look at this piece,I get no feeling at all, like it's all dead... which fits with the theme :)

[Artie]

Thanks to all for comments :)
southcom, predator: Distant figure? There is only the one living person in(out) the picture. You :)
Dan: yep, you can feel death, or life. Despair, or hope. Whatever you want to feel. :)

[Rizo]

Amazing work! how did you do those roots near the camera?

[turtle-rn]

Stunning work! great use of textures; perspective and lighting give it a quiet dramatic effect.
there's just that sketchy tree on the bottom that looks a bit distracting and very different in style from the rest;

[Jnieuwland]

love the lighting and colour in this one. interesting angle/perspective too.


I agree with roger , the tree looks a bit strange and some of those hightlights are out of place considering the direction of light.

kinda dream like..would like to see more

[Garciar]

grat job MEN!!! I'm impressed, nice colorpallete, and color gradients. i like it. Very nice!

[Opeth]

I always say that a good landscape photograph/2D painting is one where while watching it, you want to actually BE THERE.
this picture is done brilliantly and while doesn't entirely make me want to BE there, it is incredibly luring..
very good job!

[archie1181]

very nice painting. i love the mood :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[southerncomfort]

Wow, great textures and lighting. Very very nice. The highlites on the vines(?) seem to suggest that they're either wet or slimy. I'm not sure if that was intentional though.

Look like a well worn piece of wall to be... dry and dusty one.

[Toxic_Mind]

Woooooooow!! Im really deeply impressed.. excellent work!! :eek:

[d_hansbury]

I can't stand photoshop's brushes but I see people submit unbelievable works of digital art and they are done with photoshop!

I can't even think of giving up painter's functionality for photoshop's tools.

Anyway, great work of art, wish you all the best in your future works.

[swampbug]

Artie !! amazing pic. It would be amazing if you could make a Bottom half. :).. Imagine the space you could create when you have to scroll down the page to see more and more..

[oxyg3n]

I really like the atmosphere of this paintiing. Nice work.

[Fus|on]

GREAT work man, love the atmosphere, lighting and texturing to the scene

how long did it take ya?

Welcome to CG TALK and keep the goods coming !!

[zemotion]

very well done. i'd very much like to agree with swampbug about make more of a bottom, not half maybe 1/3 more of an image? maybe showing the path.

yeap. anyway great job done. :D

[Khail]

Excellent work.Bravo.
Nema to chybu...

[NickBFTD]

*drools* i bloody love it

great work

[dave247]

Dude this thing is like the most beautiful thing that I have ever seen before.

It reminds me of a deep dream that you forget about when you wake up... but you still have an eeri feeling.

[malcolmvexxed]

Great job, the detail and texture really remind me of a Beksinski pic.

[deathblood]

I can't get away from here ,Help~~~~~~~~

[Artie]

olijosman: many thanks, oooh master :D
swampbug, zemotion: bottom part of picture maybe next time... if I do it, ofcourse ;)
dfusion: In fact, I dont know. I am painting few seconds or few minutes or few hours per day - depending on my rate of laziness ;)
malcolmvexxed: I dont like Beksinski, especially his pathetic so-called digital art, but thanks :)

[DeathCry]

Great picture.wonderful!

[ACHPostma]

Jawdropping outstanding piece of PhotoShop art ! :applause:

[AbueroAllenstein]

It's outstanding piece... Fantastic job, man!
Anyways, could you tell off some of the techniques you used? Some brushes, especially for those "lines"...

[Artie]

Lines? I am not sure what do you exactly mean. Can you be more specific, please? :)

[AbueroAllenstein]

Nevermind, ain't able to specify what i mean :) Just tell of some techniques you used, please :) Maybe some brushes?

[Artie]

I am using only three brushes usually, hard brush for contures and details (front tree on the picture), hard airbrush for shading, etc. (upright corner of wall) and soft brush for gradients (sky). Other brushes from time to time. :)

[AbueroAllenstein]

:> Make a tutorial! pleeease.

[Artie]

Unfortunately, I have no work in progress stage pictures. I do tutorial for next pictures maybe ;)

[Rafael_Raf]
