2h Photoshop

[Sagii]

yey my topic!

LOL... yeah quite a story indeed... i guess we should pay more attention to signs.. i think i will use one of the weekend pictures for reference :)

[TheDagger]

Brutal Monk: Nice job. I like the colours.

I was practising painting human faces today and my computer started acting up a little. Out of frustration I drew some random strokes and soon it evolved to the creature on the right. I thought it looked kinda cool so I started thinking if I could use it for today's sketch. After a few minutes of thinking I came up with this idea.

[Geta-Ve]

Well, heres my go.. I wanted to really add lots of stuff to the door, and I still might but for now here it is.. about an hour or less work in illustrator (yes I know pretty much all this could have been done in PS so shush) lol

[JT]

my first daily sketch. i think from now on i'm going to force myself to participate in the DSG.
great entries so far.

here's mine:

Photoshop/wacom around 1.30 h

forgot to put the two guards into the right perspective and had to hide my lousy anatomy

It's my dog. he is a Malenois Sherperd. I wanted to train him to be a policedog, but he hasn't got it.
I won't find a severate arm in my home. I guess he will play with the burglars and probably attack me if I would hit them. A well, I still love him....

Illustrator CS, Wacom, about 1 hour (I like to tweak).

[danielh68]

EBR - Nice piece. I like the color scheme.

Ever have those days when you just want to dream...

[Norante]

11 minutes, Photoshop. I just didn't want to miss the day's subject.

http://www.norante.net/stuff/notrespassing.jpg

[GauntMan]

2 hours. Quick sketch in OpenCanvas; Painted in ArtRage; Final touch-up in GIMP.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v671/gauntman/sketch/sketch401.jpg

ebr - if that were the view out my window, I'd be worried! I like the choice of colors, particularly the green light burst

DoInferno - nice to see some traditional art!

Amadeus001 - dramatic and excellent creature design. Good use of fog/mist as well.

gomez21 - welcome. lots of little details. Very nice mood to the piece.

danielh68 - excellent textures and color scheme; The pallete really makes things look forbidding... and the guards look like they won't hesitate to shoot!

csgirl - Nice take on the subject. I like the lightsource from below. Plant and vegetation interesting throughout.

silvergray - the little girl is well done, she looks rather mournful.

Norante - 11 minutes well spent! Good color blocking, and nice choices for what details were needed and what could be left out.

[BrutalMonk]

Oohh! Wow

So many cool pictures, yesterday i afraid no one would post pictures - whole afternoon this forum was empty.
But at night while i was sleeping...



These are fantastic by way of example:


TheDagger: I really love your idea, it has a nice atmosphere!

CodeNothing: Simple, but really attractive! I love it (maybe some color would be nice)

ebr: Wooow, nice details, that green light is cool!

DoInferno: Nice job, i love the tree, it's rox!

Danielh68: Love the color and the details, awesome one!

Csgirl: U are better and better, nice jobs, and this one is specially well made! Good job ;)

Sorry i couldnt comment every picture! But they are NICE! :applause:

[keko]

[Vahn]

wow very cool entries :D

ps + mouse | 3h

http://img333.echo.cx/img333/4947/bouncer3small4dy.jpg

[SunnyRaining]

2.5 hours, PS - wacom. Was playing around with contrast towards the end. Not sure if I strayed off the topic or not ;)

http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a156/SunnyRaining/sketch_12_7.jpg

Ebr: Fantastic colour !
Danielh68: The lighting in your sketch is amazing :)
CSGirl: Excellent as usual ;)
Silvergray: I think you captured the mood of the girl well although without eyes she is quite lifeless.
Keko: Wow!
Vahn: Hahaha! "bouncer forced me to three :D"

[jebas]

I'm not sure that I fall completely in today's subject. It was the name of his grandfather. (For those Pooh Bear fans, I know that the sign is suppose to say, “Trespassers W”, but I did not find my mistake until after I completed the image.)

http://jebas.no-ip.info/%7Ejeff/art/piglet.jpg


This took about four hours split between two days on GIMP.

[El-Rodente]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v301/El-Rodente/401.jpg

quite like this one

lost track of time, probably about an hour in OC 1.1 with my trusty tablet of doom :)

[andrewley]

Painter - 90min

[BrutalMonk]

Wow This is Awesome Andrewley. I cant find the words, Im just sitting here and marvelling your work. Great work ;)

[Taron333]

Hey A., that's a bit brutally brilliant. I felt that way with the Airwolf thingy already, but I must tell you, I really want to know a bit more about what you're doing there! The illumination of this is a very accurate feeling Global Illumination that is rather hard to find in free and simple paint-sketches. It feels like an ingenius technique and an impactable sense of lighting, but is there any form of direct or even indirect reference for this? I'm almost afraid to ask that actually, but somehow it feels just a little too damn perfect on a strange level. If you think it's a clever little thing you'd rather keep to yourself, don't worry about it, but I'd love for you to record an openCanvas1.1 eventfile with your marvellously good_brush style! :bounce:

Congratulations.

OH, while I'm at it, Daniel68 - love what you're doing there! :thumbsup:
Keko - a new DSG star I notice, fantastic work! :buttrock:
Norante - I kinda like that, really! Sweet! :)
ebr - good view you've got there! It's a believable athmosphere! :thumbsup:
CSGirl - I once made a strange sketch for a Tarot type topic and the slight stiffness of the girl in there totally reminds me to that, too. I like it, but it feels a little like you should loosen up a little, if that makes any sense? I believe this might be because of the uniform strength/brightness and contrast of destinctive elements on your picture. It shows a lot of neat potential and if you were letting things focus at a specific location on your layout, I think it would suddenly gain great depth! Cute entree for sure! :)
Silvergray - it looks like you've been putting a lot of effort into the two details and never developed a sense for the image itself in this case. You should explore creating the whole image first and then gradually evolve specific details. It'll actually save you time and in you can simply stop when ever you want, but your image will always work. As opposed to hurling yourself into beautiful details that ultimatively don't quite make a picture. You show really nice powers!

I'm a little weak these days somehow...I was gonna make some things, but so far I can't get to it...

Rock on, everybody, great work! :buttrock:

[andrewley]

Brutal Monk - Cheers bud!

Taron333 - It's a very simple technique. Without thinking, I quickly put down some black shapes that look good together.

Then using the palette knife I begin to "sculpt" in the major forms. The shape of the random black strokes determines the design of the character, so I don't have to worry about coming up with an original design - it should just happen.

Once I'm happy with the values I start adding detail.

The key to this is understanding form and how light plays over surfaces (I still have much to learn). Here is an example of my attempts to create 3d looking paintings. http://img160.echo.cx/img160/1931/bmwtank58ye.jpg

No ref or 3d was used.

Glad you like my work - you are a fantastic artist

[Sagii]

andrewley- ooooohhh andrewley nice.. very nice....your lighting is suberb. You are very talented..

keko- the time was well worth it, that is a super cool picture.

ebr- I really like your sky here. nice

Taron I hope you feel better soon. Get to rest the dsg can always wait for one of its stars :)

[RobertoOrtiz]

Nice pics

Well this thread is inpired by a scary/funny incident that happened to us this weekend.

It had the following elements:

An abandoned house in the DEEP SOUTH, 30 miles from the nearest highway
A group of young "city folk"
A pissed off hillbilly woman with a young son on a 4 track vehiccle. And did I mention he was wearing a dixie hat?
A foot race into the woods while being chased by a 4 track....
A car escape
God I wish I was kidding...

Here are some pics of the house

[Sagii]

lol... yes again running away from the law... it always seem to happen :P
I could have done without the wild chase in the woods really, but it was an adventure

[Taron333]

Andrew, you're absolutely insane and I'm not sure if you know about it?! WOWSER! Incredible work! I believe that this sketch group gets you even stronger out of the pure object oriented realm, which brings off things from you that are unstoppably brilliant. Totally rock on, Sir! Kick a##!!! :buttrock:

Thanx for the conceptual insight, too! I'm familiar with the approach, just not with such stunning and easy feeling outcome! Congratulations! :deal:
