I don't know if you can actually see anything in this really rough sketch. What I'm thinking is - there are so many absolutly spectacular things in this world.. how spectacular the creation of these things must have been. I added the character (yeah, that's the darkest, most messy piece of the work ;) ) to make the piece more emotional, dynamic.. thanks for watching :) comments are most wellcome :)

Ok. I worked on this a little. I changed the format to horizontal, to make more space. I suppose that the character isn't the most important here. I think I'll try to do some color sketches now.

Ok, so I totally changed this. Now the character and the act of creation itself are the most important here. This is the first attempt to line art, just to make sure everything's in place. What do you think?

Nice sketch :)! Expressive pose..
I still would like to know more about the idea to give better feedback on the concept.
I keep seeing creatures and faces in you background doodling. :p

Hi
I dig your second sketh more than the last one. I really like it.

Powodzenia ;)

09-17-2005, 08:31 PM
FrozZT - thanks :) More about the concept.. well, I was thinking of creation of all things, but I didn't want to go into God creating a planet in space or something like that, that seems to obvious. Instead I want to show a personification of creating power, a goddess or muze, as it is the female form that gives birth. She is like someone conducting an orchestra, when music comes to life, but instead of music she creates air, fire, water, earth and life. So, I want to surround her with rocks in fire (like a vulcano) and trees emerging from the ground clouds forming in the sky and water pouring from beneath her feet. I will try to work a color sketch pretty soon, maybe it will show my concept better. I think that beside the concept itself, the expression of the character and color will have most impact on the "spectacular" side of this piece. I wonder where do you see those creatures, I really didn't think of that, but it's a really cool idea, maybe I should put some :D

Pawlack - glad you like it, I suppose I'll develope this sketch more and the third version will be even better, although I really lack patience ;) Dzieki :)

Thanks for your comments :)

This is the first step to final coloring - tha lighting. The concept is: first there was light. Everything emerges from darkness, it's a sadden flash of light, just like..hm.. do you sometimes get this feeling, when you sit a long time and then you get up really fast - for a moment you can't see anything and then there's a flash of light when you adjust after sadden movement? Well, it's something like that. So, the background should be rather dark (I don't know yet how it will look like in color) with a glow on the foreground.
I still think that there's something missing in the image, it's not as dynamic as I wanted it to be. Anyway.. comments are appreciated :)

the pose of the woman looks a little stiff still, you may want to fix the hip area. Either you can fix the pose some more or get in close to the figure to where pov is up close to where you are looking up at her. That would make it a little more dramatic! HOpe this helps!:thumbsup:

Korline
09-18-2005, 11:35 PM
work all the angles of that cause is good, I think spot light on the girl, and light from the behind,
but you need to go darker a bit I think it will make extrimaly dramatic, think the light is the key here

great concept and cool n athmospheric sketch. the idea of a godess representing the nature is most natural... sigh lol, yeah, course it is. the fire (agressive aspect) is a nice touch since nature is a circle of life, bearing as well as death and rebirth.

looking forward to your next steps, best of luck and have a lot of fun! :thumbsup: :beer::wip:

Thanks guys! Uuuf, now I'll have to work harder on this ;)

beelow - yeah, you're right. The hips are my nemezis in this pose. In one of early sketches she was walkin towards the viewer, the hips were a lot easier in that pose.. I'll have to look up some reference (I usually use myself for posing, but the hips.. bleeh :P ) I don't think I'm capable of making a perspective you talk about, looking up at her, I tried, oh I tried.. thanks again :)

Korline - I don't want to go to dark, I began thinking of sort of sunrise colors in the background (please, don't comment :P) first, I wanted to go rather into dynamic angles and movement, it changed course to light then.. I'm getting confused about what to develop.

bahman - I have no idea what you're talking about, but thanks anyway ;)

the1st_angel - are there any subjects that haven't been drawn somewhere already? Everything was done before.. I suppose you can find any representation of goddesses and nature elements.. It's really frustrating to know how hard it is to come up with something original.. (try to count the crashing meteors in this challenge, hehe) still it's fun, isn't it? Thanks a lot :)

OrO - thank you ;)

Hiya Aleks... great light. Those sparks in the lava landscape look fantastic.

It's really frustrating to know how hard it is to come up with something original.. true, it was very hard to find a topic that is fun and not coutless artists went for as well already...

since i played with the "godess topic" as well in early stages, i was very pleased to see what you're up to make of the topic. you're heading into a great direction!

maybe you could slightly scaledown her face, the reference size for a face is more or less same high like a hand long. relax her pose a bit, from her pose, she has her main weight on her (from here) left leg, her right hip could be a bit lower.

Keep it up your great work, your last update is wonderfull :applause: :thumbsup: :bounce:

angwafalmar
09-26-2005, 04:57 PM
Thanks Angel! Your crits are very helpful :) I think that I made some mistakes with her pose while working on the colors.. I made so many changes that I lost the original pose. I'll try to correct that, thanks again!
I've changed the whole concept again since my last post, trying to make the composistion a little bit more dynamic. So I'll be posting soon again..uuf ;)

i really like this new idea. i would love to see you follow through with it. but even if you dont i think its a great idea :)

kamrhon
09-26-2005, 08:26 PM
First, the concept is perfect. What can anyone say was more "spectacular" than the creation of the heavens and Earth. Good topic. I have noticed the progress of the piece and have to admit that the "character" is the most important part of a piece like this. You have decided well on the female--I think--and centered it well.

Now, for my opinion: Though the character is the most important element, do not neglect the created stuff. If you can embody the intricacy of the world as we know it, you will have a masterpiece. Also, her stance is very rigid. I would relax it and make it more fluid. In the spirit of the cosmos surrounding her, make it seem to flow...her hair...her limbs...it should all mesh into her. Again, it is only my opinion. Hope it helps.

Keep it up. It looks great!:bounce:

angwafalmar
09-26-2005, 09:20 PM
Thanks guys :D

kamrhon - thanks a lot, I thought that I'd move the character to one side, and make it sort of coming out of open space, but I'm not sure it's such a good idea now. I'll try to compare, maybe I'll find time to do both versions. I have so much trouble with the pose! I tried to make a few photos but posed photos are no good..(as you can see). I'll repaint the whole thing again.

Man, I would give it up by now, but somehow you keep me going :/

Hiya,

Nice idea and a great mood....plenty of room to have some rich contrasty colouring.

I had a thought when i was looking at your image..... in the middle at the bottom is a crack in the earth....from the left waterfalls could be flowing in...from the right could be lava flowing in and steam could be rising up around our character....what ya think? :)

I hate the colors.. I liked them first, but now they seem so.. flat. It's flat, oh my, and I thought that earth was round (although, I read about a teory lately, that Earth is actually a cube, and it's a conspiracy of plane pilots that tell us it's turbulence when flying over the edge, hehehe)

element - thanks. I like your idea, I thought of something similar at one moment, but I couldn't handle the composition. But I have a new concept of surrounding, after looking at thousands of photos of different valleys (like the Yosemite valley.. now this is a subject to paint). I also thought of ocean.. that's where life came from, right? With waves crashing into the lava shore. I think I will have to change the format again, hehe.

There are only two months to finish, aaaaaaaaaaaa! :scream:

Ok, I'm back on track. Here is a brand new sketch, a little glimps into what I'm up to. I'll be posting color sketch soon I hope. The concept didn't change really, I just added some details and changed the pose (again). I decided to lose the space thing..instead I'll paint the sky like in the early evening.. when it's still bright but you can see the stars and moon already. I think that a couple of shooting stars will make a nice detail (this happend by an accident, i lost control of my tablets pen when my cat started to fool arround on the desk and the shooting stars happend ;)) I also made use of elemtent5s idea (you can find it somewhere in the posts) to make the water and fire meet.. the lava scene is in the back, and the river changes to waterfalls beneath the goddesses feet and falls into the canion where lava falls too from the mountains.. Thanks a lot for the idea, although it's not exactly what you suggested ;) I also came back to an idea from my very very early sketch (not posted)to make the foreground as if the viewer was standing on a hill and watching the scene.. it makes it more real I think. Ok, enough of the writing. See ya all soon :)

Now this is going in the right direction. I had so much fun working on this FINAL ;)concept. I played around a bit with some textured brushes (why on earth haven't I done that before??). The image lost some details after resizing for posting the WIP, so instead I took a screenshot. now you can see the little stars and details on the sky. The coloring still needs some thought, there are to many points of interest here. I think I'll make the focus point on the galaxy light she has created, although it's not the center of the image.. and I have to change the hair color.. maybe blend it with the sky? And the pose.. needs a lot of refining, especially the colors.. but I'm really starting to like the image :) Thanks for viewing! :D

Hello

I love the idea the best of the images so far that I have seen in the challenge. And I think that your ability to execute is definitely seen. If I may offer my opinions? -- the landscape seems too stable and mature for the act of creation - there's grass, calm water, and even the sky, although somewhat stormy seems a tad gentle for the sp------lar event. Can I suggest checking out a few of the Hilbebrandt (Greg or Tim?) paintings - they're not the same, but the lighting, action, and atmosphere has always appealed to me as good reference.

Zeitwolf - she was pasted from a prevoius version, where she had a light behind her. I'm not sure if I should keep it or not, so I haven't corrected that yet. The expression.. well, I'm thinking on it. I'm not really a good at portraiture so it will take a while before I get this done.

Teszeract - Thank you so much, I'm very happy you think so :) Yeah, I think it's to static too, I'm trying to figure out how to change that. I suppose it's all about the angles. I thought of it as the mountains were rising from the ground, with little explosions and pieces flying around. We'll see what comes out of it (the problem is that I like tha landscape as a landscapes, and I don't like to change the things I like ;) ) Thanks for your tips and suggestions!

Yeah, I worked a little bit (this is actually last call for working harder on this challenge as the academic year begins tommorow). I decided to open the space by adding some air in the foreground. I made a waterfall to add a little mystery.. what has been created down there? I've been inspired greatly by New Zealands landscapes lately so I imagined lots of exotic jungles ;) Anyway.. I spent all day on the rocks in front and then another on the pose (special thanks to the1st_angel for helping me out). Hm, I think the light is starting to look nice. I just got a thought.. maybe I should add some birds by the waterfall, as life has been created in the valleys.. what do you think? Comments are wellcome as always :)

Hehe, I couldn't wait to add the birds, so here it goes :) I think it was a fantastic idea ;)

The rocks on the right are good, as is the light in the background. Pretty nice composition too. A few things you might want to look at, though ~

The fading to represent distance is well done, but because you've got that solid black coming down low on the horizon it forces the figure into the foreground instead of looking like it's towering in the background. Her own colouring needs to be subdued, too.

Your landscape has too much variation. The rocks are great (keep them) but on the left you have forest, then behind that a different type of mountain. I think you should stick with the rock as your basic landscape. Nothing to stop you adding trees and stuff, and having colour variations, but it looks too patchwork ATM.

The perspective on your waterfall is off. It looks like its rising into the air on the left.

I really like how those rocks get colder near the water.

Good luck ;)

great new aproach. looks almost classical. the dark background actually looks a bit too hard, maby an allover darker lightsetup gives the fx light more room, but the dark area around the godess actually destroy much of the feeling. if you want to show some stars and the universe, the mood when the sun has set is great to do that, a soft gratient in pastel colors where the moon is pale and the stars slightly start to appear.

Te sea on the right half (where water falls on the longside) looks unsolved. maybe needs a way to flow off. the sletch was quiet nice ballanced, while thew frontwaterfall takes you away the possebilety of foreground objects wich helpd the sense of distance as well. try to achieve levels and overlaps. this helps depht as well :) your mood is great. try fall off flatter to the foreground or bring back the foregroundlevel, so the perspective is right for ther eye :)

your details look fantastic. looking forward to your next steps. keep up the great work!

Wow,

Coming right along! It is beautiful! What I said prior still stands. Fluidity in the "Creator." Where did the cosmos go?.....OH, just found them....in her hand. Brilliant! Some good creative advice? Well, here goes. Vibrant colors... don't overdo it, though. What you have is too....unsaturated. Expand the cosmos. Make them move around her and her around them. Symbol: She is the universe and it is hers! Looks great. I'm gonna keep up with your stuff. Please, don't stop.

10-05-2005, 10:09 AM
Fantastic - I love the idea, the view, the pose, the colours...

I think the space between the purplish rocks and the waterfall behind it could use a little more definition - at the moment since the waterfalls far away and the rocks are close up, it's messing with my eyes a bit. The greens, blues and purples are viewpulls (I think I just made that word up) so I think you should add something with cold colours on the other side too, to even it out a bit.

The detail looks great. I really love your painting style and the way everything fits together. Good luck with this one :)

I'm so happy with all the comments and crits, they make me pay more attention to things. As I'm currently starting a new academic year (again.. ;) ) and I have a lot of stuff to do at work I will have to postpone the challenge for a while. I hope I'll have time just to put all your suggestions together and figure out how to make use of it.

It's a matter of space I think.. you know, xbo, the concept is quite huge. If I could make a panoramic scene there would be so much more contrasts there. Maybe I will make a panoramic scene..well, anyway.. I thought of these things when designing the concept: first of all there are so many amazing things around the world. I've been to many places, from Asia, Africa, all around Europe to North America and everywhere I go I am truly amazed by variety of landscapes. I just couldn't decide, I want to show all of it ;) Another thing is, that I wanted to show how amazing the created things are, but also include the dynamic of the act itself.. yeah, yeah, it's more of an idea, I'm not that good illustrator to really make my ideas come to life, but that's more or less where the rocks in the water came from. Hm.. I thought of the creation in many aspects.. there was the idea where everything is created in the moment in the picture, there was another concept of empty space with just light ("first there was light" or something), than I thought that it wouldn't really be what I wanted, so I decided to combine all of those. And I just love patchworks;) I will work on the rocks more, maybe change the color, make them colder to match the mountain's green. Uff.. enough of the writing - you see how complex that is in my head, and it's not even half of it. I just have to decide on something - I decided to keep it going with this scheme. If there's time I'll try a different approach. (if you actually read all of this - congratulations ;) ) Thanks again :)

Really great image & concept so far... sorry I catched this tread just now :D and I would say that this dark smoke behind the character looks bad IMHO but it`s maybe a part of the WIP no? I think some clouds or bright glow will be better here...

Heyah! I've had a lot (!!) of work to do lately, I hardly have time to sleep and I'm getting really exhausted, but I've found some time to work on the spectacular entry. I'll be posting in the next two or three days, I just don't want to post another slightly changed working sketch, not to get you guys bored ;)

Nomad - you read my mind ;) I worked on the dark space behind, I just added a little glow and it changed everything. I really hope to post it soon.

Thanks for all your great comments :D

Glad to know that you`ll change this dark smoke... it gives a negative aspect to the image which is I think not your goal.

The dark background does lend a sinister edge to the piece (destruction as well as creation?), but I think it is important as well, as it gives the Mother nature figure some kind of root (!) - which I think the figure needs. Whether she is physically a part of the landscape or she's bursting through some crazy dimension rift, I'd like the piece to show more where she is coming from. Really like the light in her hands. I hope you don't mind me saying that at the moment I find the look of mother earth a little bland - she is very generically beautiful and I think that makes it a little cliched. Whether it is playfulness, serenity or something more terrifying, I'd like to see a bit more characterfullness about her.

all the best

I have a little memory problem with Painter, which is the program I'm working with. The file got really big, and in the moment Painter just closes every time I'm trying to do something with the file. I should deal with it soon, but for now I'm posting the latest version of "Creation". I finally changed the background. I want the clouds to swirl around, which causes the program to close, hehe. Maybe it's just not a good idea ;) Anyway.. the background seems to be more open now. I also changed the mouintains on the right, what you see is a rough sketch, but it is what they will more or less look like, not to high to keep the proportions right and the scene to look wider. Ok, this is it. I'm looking forward to your comments, they really help me out :)

Really beautiful landsacpe, I like it a lot. I like the new foreground and how it frames the piece. I miss the mountains on the far-right from the last post, bacause they had a lot of motion to them. But no matter what, it's all looking very pretty. Good luck with it!

Much better sense of scale and distance now that black sky has gone.

Thanks guys for stopping by :D

Maurodelia - Thanks :) It's mostly accidental to come up with the technique, but the results are made by one brush only (how simple can that be) and it would be.. (here the tention builds up).. tarararara... the CLUMPY BRUSH from artist's oil palette in Painter ;)

Walrus - yeah, something from those mountains is missing, but I'll try to give the new ones the movement feel as well. Glad you like it anyway :)

Baron - These few words mean a lot to me, thanks :)

I got to the point when it's starting to be boring. I could rework it and rework it again, but it has got to stop sometime. So this would be it. Not the final coloring milestone yet, because there's still a month ahead, anything could happen. Comments are very appreciated as always :)

Wow, Aleksandra, this is looking beautiful! One small crit: The two waterfalls don't fit the perspective, they should be more horizontal. Keep up the good work!

i really love your image... i just have one crit for you. follow it or not you have to understnad this image is the :buttrock:

any who as for my crits i think your vegitation and rock formations are too uniform. it takes something away from the image. i think if you where to break up some of those very flat horizon lines you would get a very nice result :P

Too bad you wont have more time to work on this, the textures are amazing. If only you had time to maybe add some more texture to the creationist, and blend the light beams a bit more...if only... Otherwise a wonderful piece.

So here's the story:
She is the creator. After eons of chaos a whole new spectacular world emerged. But still, there was darkness. Were there is no light - life can't be. So she gattered the stars and galaxies and created light, so the world could evolve.
The moment of creating light, which enables us to see the spectacular things around is what the image shows.

I hope ;)

Wow! lovely textures!!! I love everything about it :-D The clouds, the mountains and all that! really nice intricate detailing.

I think the waterfalls look a bit patterned, try variating them a bit more, perhaps more dents in the shape, etc.

Good Luck!
