Squibbidations

[MichaelZHsee]

hie squibbit~thats quite a nice painting u got here~i like the tree colors as well as the river as it looks like kinda thick and condensed.however,i think the angle seems alil linear and centralised,the overall feel is good,very interesting creature design though.keep it up mate~:)

[Ilikesoup]

Really nice so far. The mossy, weathered wood looks amazing. I thought the water was pavement, though. Most streams would look a dark brown color with off-white reflections. The orange of the grass throws me, too.

Kid with an empty leash sounds like a good idea.

[Squibbit]

thanks, you're both right

yea i gotta learn to render water better, too many times it gets mistaken
for pavement, hehe

ah well, how's this then?

[Ego]

Nice painting there Sir Squibs. I love the colors of the bush/trees. The water is definitely rendered better in the second pic. Good job.

[umbrellasky]

wow squib! These are fantastic! Lovely textures!

[Squibbit]

Thanks!

And Lady Madalaine, one does not go saying to gentlemen "I want your brain"
anymore than one asks a Lady her age , tsk tsk .. ah well, another crazy witch
stalking in the bushes behind the house and the week's barely an hour old..

yea personally I liked the first pic more, cause the air felt colder and the atmoshpere
more autumn-like. Also, the monster had a spookier feel to it, while the one in the
second pic was more bug-like.

I tried to redo the grass in the first pic, ended up looking a bit sad. the water looks
better to me though, agreed? Another f-up was the mighty badly rendered powerline,
which felt like a nice idea at first.. gonna keep it i think, if i manage to make it better.
And finally there's the little girl, whose dragging the suddenly so light a leash.
No more time to work on this today, another day someone stole hours from...

[umbrellasky]

hehe :p but kind sir your brain is super fantastic!

I like the first one better, but I like the pylon in the second one because it adds to the perspective.

[Overchord]

I like your first one better without the girl. There's more "power of suggestion" in it :) Plus the pylon in the background kinda make the picture more "modern" or time-specific. Without the pylon it could be any time since man has built bridges and chldren have had lollipop
(well must be off now to look up the history of the lollipop.... :lightbulb )

Perhaps, to make it a bit clearer, replace the lollipop with a doll or sumthin?

Great work :thumbsup:

[Elsie]

O_o now I'm nervous about walking over that bridge on the way home. Cool stuff, hehe, as always. I like the orange vines in the first version better by themselves, but I think it adds more variety to the picture when they're green.

I like the water actually, but I think that what it is is the fact that it's generally smooth with very fine ripples to break it up - maybe if you distored it more and added some shine? Especially round the edges. I love the wall under the bridge with the pond scum, great colours there. Favourite thing is the trees...ack they're so orange and fluffy...and the pics better without the girl.

Keep on rocking there Squib :P

[mrloco]

Wow, that first pic mate me flinch, as i only saw the top part, until the end of the bridge, and then when i scrolled down i saw the monkey thing.

[heart thumping noises]

[Squibbit]

hehe :p but kind sir your brain is super fantastic!


ok, then, u silly sprite, I mailed u a thumb-sized brain piece, but dat's
all u gonna get. I hope it grows back i feel dumber than ever now. Thanks.
Oh yea the cocroach in the package i sent is to carry the brain piece
into your head and put it in place. You just let it crawl in your nose, it
finds its way from there and remember to tie a string on one of its legs,
so u ca pull the bug out when it's done.

- - -

Overchord - thanks for comments , good thinking with the doll idea and
yea the "power of suggestion" thingy adds to the spookiness.

Elsie - no reason to be nervous walking home, just take the walk with
Madalaine here and when u see some long, dark fingers approaching, just
push her to the beast and run :thumbsup:

and i agree with you about the grass and the water, thanks

mr.loco - good to hear to have caused such a reaction, many thanks

[Rebeccak]

ROFL, Squibbadibbadoo!! :scream: This is Squibbadibtasticular! LMAO!!! :scream:

That first one is hilarious...tho, we'd expect nothing less...:thumbsup:

[umbrellasky]

I mailed u a thumb-sized brain piece, but dat's

You mailed it me? I don't think I recieved it, you sure you sent it to the right email?

Elsie - no reason to be nervous walking home, just take the walk with
Madalaine here and when u see some long, dark fingers approaching, just

Thanks squib, that beast looks kinda cute actually pehaps he will become a friend, I could use him to play tricks on people :p

[Squibbit]

You mailed it me? I don't think I recieved it, you sure you sent it to the right email?

snail mail , silly, one doesn't send organic matter via email, yet anyways


Thanks squib, that beast looks kinda cute actually pehaps he will become a friend, I could use him to play tricks on people :p

yea that's prolly what the little girl on the bridge was thinking before she got eaten.
that monster can manage a pretty endearing smile, heh

- - -

ps. thanks for dropping by, Korean Gargoyle!

.

[Rebeccak]

Korean Gargoyle??!!! :eek:

[Llynna]

sir quib has his funny names day i think ;)

i agree that the one without the girl is better, despite of the grass. but i already told you that i think its better greener.

but the one i love the most is the one with the pink shoes: hahahahaa, thats what you get for wearing pink shoes :bounce:

[Squibbit]

Korean Gargoyle??!!! :eek:

haha, made u not post "LOL"

(was referring to the image edit I made for you,hehe)


.

[gu]

hum all the concepts are so cool, but I prefer the girl dragging something. I also like the creature under the bridge!
congrats man, always doing fine!
gus

[Euphrosyne]

Egads Squib, I don't know what is more frightening your painting or the package for Madalaine. EEEEKKKK cockroaches.

I thought that the first painting was great! The orange grass looks perfectly normal to us Californians. In the summer time we see orange grass every evening around sunset when all the hills light up with golden sunshine. The dry straw colored grass gets a definate glow.;)

[Rebeccak]

haha, made u not post "LOL"

(was referring to the image edit I made for you,hehe)

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh!! ROFL.... :scream:

Cheers, :)

~R

[Gord-MacDonald]

I like the idea of the leash better - I think it has more potential for suspense and humour. I would work on the girls body language, making it clear that (for example)
- she has not yet realized her darling pet has been devoured
- she has realized that her darling pet has been devoured
- she is horrified (she loves her little dog)
- shes kind of happy (shes tired of taking it for walks)
- shes excited (she likes eating big scarey spiders)
yadda

[Squibbit]

Thanks, peoples, made this one today... took a long time tho..grrhh

Hey I'll let you in on a little secret, I bet about 30% of the populus is colour blind :).

hahaha, yea i know

comes with the sporadic focus syndrome

i'm gonna learn how to paint one day, beware!


.

[pushav]

I did not know that you started your own thread. Nice work. Impressive.

[TeemuR]

Neat stuff, Squibbit! Like I've already mentioned your painting skills are quite a lot developed in a short time. :) I Like the latest painting a lot. Very nice mood and composition. The only thing I would perhaps to change is the too linear cloud structure. It makes eye go too easily on the left side of the pic. Anyway that isn't too disturbing.. Keep up the good work! :thumbsup:

[danielh68]

Squibbit, the werewolf piece is amazing, especially the strong use of compliment colors. Another high note, is that you were able to convey, successfully, a night scene using a green palette instead of blues and lavenders which would be the typical choice. In any case, the outcome has this weird psychotic tension...great job!

[Squibbit]

thanks peoples ... was makin an update.. stopped cause i'm tired and noticed
i'm not really getting anywhere, here's where i got to, I hope u like it better
than the first one :

http://www.saunalahti.fi/panuom/SpookEdit_3.jpg

[Ego]

Thats like another scary piece. I keep wondering where its been? what its been up to? whose blood is that? Good job on th e colors. I like the reflection in the water.

You are in a real halloween mood aint ya?

[Gord-MacDonald]

IMO - the town and castle should be higher up - like maybe the eye level of the werewolf - everything else is a1!. The blood is a gorgeous rich red -( esp. when viewed by a full moon :D ).

Good work!

Gord

[Squibbit]

excellent point there, gord, maybe I'll change it yet once :thumbsup:


.

[Elsie]

The water looks good in this one squib! I'm not sure about how the blood is though - would it not spread out under the water a bit, rather than being in a rather strict line?

Werewolf looks awesome...ah so fluffy...can I pet him? I like the light in the distance too, really adds to the composition.

[multiVitamin]

Yeah I have to agree with Elsie's point about the blood, I think it would look somewhat like i red colored cloud under water, especially where thick drops of blood tripped into the water. like your sky (which I love btw ;) ), just turned upside down :D

great work!

[Squibbit]

Yeah, i dunno what i was thinking with the blood there, just being artistic
i guess, haha



.

[Ego]

Werewolf looks awesome...ah so fluffy...can I pet him? I like the light in the distance too, really adds to the composition.
You are not allowed to pet a werefolf!! What a sick thought. Unless you are one yourself :P

[Elsie]

...mebbe.

yes, Boekestein, now hurry along, or you ain't gonna
get that next strand of hair painted on your spearlady
by the end of the week :p

[jmBoekestein]

I told you allready, it's fine art .

:wise:

[Squibbit]

I told you allready, it's fine art .

:wise:

yea like building the Eiffel tower from toothpicks ...
fine piece of art, definitely memorable, but takes a while, eh?

:bounce:


.

[jmBoekestein]

Considering the 2000 years of study it took to even get there, I'll be soft on you considering your somewhat flawed mathematics.
Like slapping together as many bricks as possible and calling it a wall, with interesting texture :wip: .


:p , you misplaced the horizon by a few miles...

[Squibbit]

there ain't a horizon in the pic, dude, so don't go around pretending you found one.


didn't bother to use them help lines and i wasn't really interested about the horizon
anyways, so i let it run free



.

[umbrellasky]

wow Squib! this is awsome! I love the colours. you never fail to impress me :D

[MichaelZHsee]

gosh squib~havent check into the wip section and u've already got 3 pages on ur thread.amazing progress here,great posture of the creature,and i see u have made changes on the mouth,haha.i like both~:scream:

[Squibbit]

stoopid snake-->



http://www.saunalahti.fi/panuom/snakey_01.jpg

[jmBoekestein]

Really nice pic squibbit. Would have been cool to have the snake shiny too. For light play like the reflections on the gold/metal.

How long did it take you?

[Ducklator]

wow... exellent images Squibbit :buttrock: I liiiiiiiike a lot:twisted:

[Squibbit]

How long did it take you?

A whole day.. rather not tell cause it was just way too long, but blah

yea i tried the reflections on the snake, but they turned out so crappy
the sorta vanished then..

.

[jmBoekestein]

Ah too bad, have you considered painting at higher resolutions, I think it's easier for little details like scales. :)

It's great nonetheless :).

[Gord-MacDonald]

cool snake - it gave my synapses an excuse to party! :bounce:


Gord

[Elsie]

Really nice squib, stop being so self critical! *slaps squibbit with a wet trout*.

This is a very cool piece - I love the background colour. I think that really gives so much of a flair to it. I don't think you should shinefy the snake - it'll spread the eye out too much when looking at the piece. It's nice to have a texture contrast beween the metal and the snake.

The snakes eyes are good, the whole face just has something very "squibbit" about it. Haha, don't take that the wrong way, it's good. I also like the stringy-smoky stuff coming out of the glowing ball.

[Squibbit]

Beautiful camera angle. Love it.

[Kyena]

haha - you seem like a neverending source of inspiration Mister Squib :)

It's always such a joy to look at your submissions, always full of storytelling.

[Zephyri]

Nice work, squib, especially on that last one, a really unusual image from that perspective. Took me a moment to realise the edges of her dress are where the white bits of lace.. at first I though she was stuck in some kind of void (your armpit hair perhaps? *grin*). I really love the movement of the curtain with her though, lovely touch. Where will you take us next squib?

thanks, Gord and Queenie, real nice of you to drop by, Kyena :)

yea Zephyri, i forgot some detailing ad texture from the dress, but i had
played with the pic so long i decided to give it a break and post it.
( and my armpits confuse me too much, especially when i'm tired, so
i better not get into that now, i'm not sure i even know half the stuff
that's going on in there :sad: )

where next? been struggling with some stuff like wrapping an image
around a line of text.. like a poem or song lyrics.. somehow very
difficult..like u gotta paint something as beautiful as the music
you hear, withou the music being there..



.

[DragonSnail]

Wow I just have to stop by and tell you how impressed I am by your most unusual, not to mention funny, painting subjects! Every time I clicked on the link the picture JUMPED out of the screen and assaulted me! Amazing! I cant wait for you to post your next piece. ^_^

[Squibbit]

another one that started on a lunchbreak.. i call this Fearie Tragedy, cause the
pic on the left is what i got in a little over an hour and it was the type of pic i wanted
to make. Instead, I spent hours working on the pic, chnaging this and that , not really
getting anywhere , and ending up with the pic on the right... sort of sacrifing feeling to
flashiness.

It's no that bad , but not what I aimed for , thinkin about going back to the early version
and give it another try ... maybe finish both? :P

Any ideas ?


http://www.saunalahti.fi/panuom/FaerieTragedyPt1.jpg

[Kyena]

I like the first one better too, even though it is rougher.
It has somehow more personality as where the second one looks really lovely but like a normal generic fairy painting.

The skin color looks a bit flat at the moment. Mix some of those fancy background colors into her hair and skin. Make the skin color more saturated where it casts shadow in itself.

The definition of the chest/shoulder area on the second one is better.
Maybe mix the two together somehow? :)

[ozhaver]

I totally agree with Kyena, you are indeed a source of inspiration ;-)

I really enjoyed seeing all your sketches in this thread. You got great style!!!

what about feeling the flashiness? XD it could work!

But I also agree with Kyena on this, I do like the first one more, it has more freedom of hand and more feeling. (And the lips look better that size) hehehee

[Elsie]

Nice to see some new work Squib, I'm gonna go with the flow and agree that the first one is nicer - it may just be that the colours on my monitor are totally messed up but the skin looks a little too saturated to me.

I think you should go back to the first one and work from there, but keep the hair from the second one because it's lovely. :thumbsup: I like how the background colours work too.

[Squibbit]

here's another, i tried to make it better , but couldn't , so i didn't post
the latest version cause it looks worse

http://www.saunalahti.fi/panuom/ExpectantWarrior_1.jpg

[Ego]

Very nice colors choices on this one. Also draws attention to the contrasting color of the lady's face. I feel like that head is gonna get it any second.

[Gord-MacDonald]

here's another, i tried to make it better , but couldn't , so i didn't post

ah, might have been a bit too much tho :P

Crazy Squibs always doing work hidden in his deep cave somewhere. Where the trolls bounce him with their clubs.

Anyway... Uh what did i just say? :shrug:

That hairy earflap thingy looks cool :thumbsup: , but that face seem to have struck into one dimensional mode. far end cheeck bone and the face doesnt curve behind realistically.

Like this -.- eyes lined up.. looks flat not real. Eyes are actually curves on the face like this

/.\ ,,, oh that dot is supposed to nose or something.. top view of course.. So think about wedge shape. Ok.. Nice thread :)

end result, thanks for dropping by , appreciated

[Elsie]

Yay, all wintery 'n' snowy 'n' stuff...

Nice character design Squib, I like her face...the mist coming out of her mouth is a really nice touch. I really like the trees in the background too.

Just a thought with the colours, it might have more effect if you desaturate her skin slightly?

[Squibbit]

matte painting, collection of photos and a ship i modeled and overpainted
the houses are simple models too with photos found from the net over them

http://www.saunalahti.fi/panuom/CominHome.jpg

[Kyena]

the matte is awesome Squib - I always wonder how you guys do those..really cool idea and realization.

The face a bit further up: she is lovely but for the snow/cold background her skin needs more of the cooler shades from the bg and I want her ear puffs! (or whatever they are called..)

And damn that piraty thingie with the teddies - that rocks around the clock haha :D

[Squibbit]

thank ye, Lady, is comments like yours that spur this poor traveller on *bows*

[Ashura]

I like the first one better too, even though it is rougher.
It has somehow more personality as where the second one looks really lovely but like a normal generic fairy painting.

I agree. The only thing I would say is maybe transpose the finished hair on the earlier face or something. Though I think the size of the hair is part of it. The slimmer hair on the first one might work better. But definitely the earlier one has more character, especially the eyes for some reason.

here a person of a gene-manipulated race is planting new life on a newly discovered

[Squibbit]

started as a lunchtime scribbleration again and continued after work,
this one was inspired by the other zombie stuff in the 2D WIP forum

yes , this one has a story to it, too :p, goes like this:

Honored Dr.Hauer is also Reverend Hauer. He finds zombies,
holds up his glowing cross-adorned staff and raises his other
hand palm up towards the creatures and speaks the god's words,
expelling the evil from zombies.
This truly happens because hidden in the sleeve of his other hand
is a twin barreled dart gun, one of the barrels shooting lethal acid
and poison darts , while the other shooting darts containing a
special serum that returns zombies to normal people, with the side
effects of retaining much of their zombie-like skin tones and being
made obedient servants of the Reverend.
Hauer roams around , followed by a bunch of beautiful women with
strange skin color for company and strong men as bodyguards ,
leaving behind a trail of corpses.

sometimes the glowing staff grows dimmer and Hauer knows the
powers god has given him are weakened and he must pray to
regain strentgh from god. This means either the staff informs him
his needle supply is running low or that the staff itself is running
out of batteries and needs recharging.

the warped perspective makes the image very lively overall
the only crit i can think of is perhaps the dude should have a smaller waist as he's just bones

[paperclip]

It's a corpse fandago, everyone on their feet!

The band begins to play the calypso beat, hear these bones shake!

Fear flies out, we're awake........awake........awake.......


Ehm.


I like the picture. :thumbsup:

I particularly like the perspective, it suits the style, sort of different but not abstract.

[Lemog]

Maybe his head not very large but long give hime less power in this image... but it's very a little point... all is well done... really appreciate the sense of the composition, with a particular preference for the right part, with the bonesgirl :thumbsup:

[Rebeccak]

Really great image Squibb, I especially like the dress that is in tatters and the duck ghosts! :thumbsup:

Cheers, :)

~Rebeccak

[Gunilla]

Yep -I agree with the rest, great image!
I like the girl best and of course the dead ducks - wonderful idea :thumbsup:

[Agamemnwn]

listening to Tom petty- last dance with mary jane. Thats what the picure reminded me about. great picture Squib. love the colours and the amount of work u put on detailing the girls dress and the ducks

[Gord-MacDonald]

"One More Dance..." is a totally awesome piece - I think one of the best on this thread :thumbsup:

Gord

[Squibbit]

Yeap...micheal is rite... i think you can add more yellow highlights to it...

[Agamemnwn]

lovely picture squib :D

[Lemog]

Very original face Panu :thumbsup: a full glance :scream: which need maybe more depth :)

[umbrellasky]

Beautiful :D

[Elaeria]

Hey Squib!

Got it done huh? ;) Nice job. I like her eyes and her hair! Well done, Sir. And that blue butterfly is beautiful.

She looks afraid though...she isn't afraid of butterflies, is she?
Great job Panu!
Impressed as always,
Meredith

[Squibbit]

Thanks peebles!

i agree on the blurrines, maybe i'll do sumthin about it :)

which need maybe more depth :)

yea .. not sure how to do that, though..


She looks afraid though...she isn't afraid of butterflies, is she?

she's a tender creature i general , going a about real carefully , while
being awe- inspired by everything all the time, easily lost in thought
and easily spooked by little things :)



.

[sergioKomic]

Man, I looooove yur work...:thumbsup:

[deaderthanred]

hmm.. depth: maybe darken everything slightly and then use the blue butterfly as a soft glow light source? nice work on the greens :)

[Squibbit]

yay changed to pencil after an aeon of puter stuff :D

just wanted to try how it feels again so didn't much think
of the subject, just girls n skulls n pointy things ,heh

(and i just noticed i don't have the "nudity" sign up on the thread
so i had to come up with the hasty addition of the clam shell bra)

the darker grey bg is the original A4 paper I drew on

yea it's very unfinished and the supporting hand looks especially funny

the other "wing" is gonna be just a silhouette

no ref used

http://www.saunalahti.fi/panuom/BigWing1b.jpg

[yulias]

the one "coming home" that you did is absolutly amazing

[Squibbit]

the one "coming home" that you did is absolutly amazing

good to hear that from so many , it was a lunchbreak inspirational piece
I like much myself, but didn't know others would like it so much too.

Been thinkin of working it more, but I'm afraid I'd just spoil it, hehe



.

[Elaeria]

Oooooo...she isn't one that I would want to cross...but she's purdy. :P

Nice work! I'm so impressed with what you can come up with in such a short period of time. For some reason, this one makes me think of "The Dark Crystal"...not sure why...maybe it's all the bone and feathers.

Great job man! *curtsies*

Meredith

[Nazirull]

thanks, you're both right

yea i gotta learn to render water better, too many times it gets mistaken
for pavement, hehe

ah well, how's this then?




http://www.saunalahti.fi/panuom/BridgeMunster_2.jpg

That is one creepy pic mann.....:argh:

[paperclip]

Pencil drawing: she's lovely but her feet freak me out. :cry:

[Lemog]

Of course... I'm waiting for more impatiently... this first pencil step is already well inspired :thumbsup:

[Nazirull]

Yeah.....i wouldnt wanna play futsal with her....i love pencils.

[Squibbit]

That is one creepy pic mann.....:argh:

but there's a big mistake in the pic my mom noticed.. the shoes are way too big!

but first this, late night sketchy thingy.. maybe a spare logo for Lady Medusa, eh ?

almost went for ref, but yet did not

http://www.saunalahti.fi/panuom/Hood_2.jpg

[Lemog]

...very medusing :scream:

maybe need shadowing for cheeks close to the cap, not ?

[Squibbit]

yea once i figure out how shadows fall n stuff, heh yea

Maybe the morning power :banghead: hahahah

[Nazirull]

but there's a big mistake in the pic my mom noticed.. the shoes are way too big!

Whoa....that means that creepy under the bridge had a big one!

[LadyMedusa]

Love the shoe design too on the pencil sketch lady. Looking greatly forward to see it finished :)



Medusa! *points* :)
Like how you did the snakes and your choise of color :)

[Ego]

Aaaaaawwww that little kid in the wood is adorable.
And you can edit the title of your post and add 'nudity'.
Squibbidations --- Nudity alert! In fact reminds me I should do the same on mine.

[deaderthanred]

http://www.saunalahti.fi/panuom/BigWing1b.jpg

yummy stuff.. are you gonna color it? :) i adore the design of her "wings"
i cant draw well at all with pencil (perspective problem for me especially if i draw with the piece of paper on flat tabletop)

perhaps her supporting left hand will look fine once you splay her fingers apart and lower her arm abit (depending on the environment layout you're putting her in too i guess)

[Squibbit]

i cant draw well at all with pencil (perspective problem for me especially if i draw with the piece of paper on flat tabletop)

haha , yea I have the same. I used to lie down on my bed while drawing, or sitting
hunched over the paper, you see, my head tilted to the side a bit and my face real
close to the paper, so everything i drew got some real weird perspective distortions.
Using wacom I've learned so draw sitting up, back straight, heh, and it helped with
this picture, too.

perhaps her supporting left hand will look fine once you splay her fingers apart and lower her arm abit (depending on the environment layout you're putting her in too i guess)

yea was planning to lower the arm and good idea to splay the fingers a bit , thanks :)

OooOooo nice drawing squib! I like teh composition and pose :D

[Squibbit]

update..

[LadyMedusa]

I LOVE the mouth of the snake above her head!
Nose looks a little odd though

[paperclip]

That's a cool idea for a picture. I think you should make the lighting way more dramatic though, really push it...

Go for it man, I know it's scary but face the fear and do it anyway!

[Zapan]

Gosh you're on fire !!

All this paintings are so cool man !! The matte paint is damn impressive , bluffing :eek: WOW.
Suscribing , don't want to miss any update now .

Cheers man ! :bounce:

EDIT : Would that be ok if you can tell us how long it takes you to create such of painting ?
Apparently , you've got an insane turbo mode , and I like to scare myself :)

[Squibbit]

this one's called "Next Flight Out", took about 8 hours to paint

photoshop , wacom (graphire 3)

http://www.saunalahti.fi/panuom/pic_01_2006_d.jpg

[Nazirull]

Thats awesome piece man. It has the greenish-retro feel to it....up all nu years eve to finish this one?

Why the guy giving clearance holding a gun and why there is a flare on the left side of the spacecraft?

Great piece:thumbsup:

[Squibbit]

heh, i didn't know what to write in the glove, it's like the dude's ready
to go , he got a flaregun in his other hand and he's just notified the ship
of his whereabouts, he gots the glove to make for himself to be more
easy to be noticed from the ship.

The customs are on the ground level you see and since the dude's makin
an illegal trip with shotgun and a suitcase full of cash he's gonna try and get
into the ship after the customs inspection, or sumthin like that, hehe

- - -

here's another, little color and brush test work, i don't like the outcome except
some of the colors turned out ok. this one took an hour and a half.

http://www.saunalahti.fi/panuom/JetCrash_1.jpg

[Nazirull]

Im still an ignorant when it comes to color....

Looking at your sketch above, Do you work from low res then upsample it to draw details? Coz thats how Ive read other people do it. I m ina habit of doing that too..(tho i dont sketch much to call it a habit)

But correct me if im wrong, the sketch above has the same res from start to finish? coz the detail is kinna at the same level throughout and its a one and a half hour work?

Noobie's curiousity merely :D

well, i scale them down a bit for posting , but yea I don't see a reason going
high res from start, cause it makes the painting slower and especially since i'm
at that point not sure if they're gonna stay as sketches

[deaderthanred]

you really draw those ships awesomely:bowdown:

Sweet :eek:!!
I'm impressed man!

[Elaeria]

Very nice! I like both of them and those ships are kick a$$!

Keep it up Squib! :) We know you will :D
Meredith

[yulias]

those latest two that you did are fantastic, i love the guy with the glove!

[Lemog]

Impressive work as usually Panu... this one is very impressive, and the detail I like a lot... it was in the tones... very sweet and warm... like the black color in you drawing... a warm black... a little strange, but that give to your drawing a particular mood, really appreciated :thumbsup:

...and of course, I wish you a extra Happy New Year mate :thumbsup: :bounce:

[Squibbit]

thanks , peoples, happy new year to u too

i tried a better angle for the jet, worked more on the environment too..
only i think the adjustments are taking way too much time.. gotta find
a way to fix dat..

http://www.saunalahti.fi/panuom/JetCrash_1a.jpg

[paperclip]

Woo, getting better quickly! I think you should make the dust cloud a little darker and give it a rim light, a bit of transparency around the edges and you're spot on. :thumbsup:

hyvaa uuta vuotta, btw. :D

[danielh68]

These are looking sweet! I don't know if it's the color palette or the style of the ships, but the last two comps have a cool retro feel to them. Keep up the great work!

no comments or crits?

[deaderthanred]

neodoodle

http://www.saunalahti.fi/panuom/Tuesday_2.jpg
this still looks to me like you're setting up the scene and adding more stuff later
the design on the dress is gorgeous, the background is intriguing, tho might need more ambience perhaps, and the composition looks like it's going to be a humor piece (which was why i thought a pig would be really cute at her side lol)
i'm not much of a crit, i'm afraid.. your works all look great to me even in WIP stages :)

[Squibbit]

what in the compositon makes you think it is a humour piece?

I mean I can understand if I'd put a pig there by her side,
grinning from ear to ear, leaning close to the 'camera' and
add a little fish eye perspective, that it could look funny,
but without it ?

- -

The comments you gave are exactly what i needed, I wanted to
know how you see the pieces, thank you :)

[Squibbit]

here's a fresh one, just saw Batman Begins, pretty cool movie :)

took about 25 mins to paint

http://www.saunalahti.fi/panuom/batmanbegins.jpg

[Lemog]

Your batman is incredible mate... we feel well the duality... between the real man... and his other bat-superhero-face... feeling increase thanks to the 2 tones used...
...the orientation of the ground introduce him to slip toward his destiny... :thumbsup:

Do you have the same in bigger size Panu ?

[MichaelZHsee]

whoa~love that bad man piece dude~gorgeous:scream:

WOW , I really like batman , and this one truely rock ... and ...and in 25 min ??!! :surprised :eek: :argh: :banghead:

[Nazirull]

neodoodle

http://www.saunalahti.fi/panuom/Tuesday_2.jpg

Figure looking great...I love her dress....and the pattern on it....Very Queen Amidala-like.
The background building can use a little more contrast especially the obelisk with one side lit and the other in shadow...so the form of it is more define...unless you want them to be just sillhouette...

The dome is i think is too close to the edge of the roof level. I know its hard to shade a convincing dome :D. Great courage to brave that tho Panu!:thumbsup:

[Nazirull]

http://www.saunalahti.fi/panuom/batmanbegins.jpg

Horh? How could Ive missed this one!?? AWESOME piece! I think Lemog is spot on with his interpretation....i would second him with that!

25 minutes is a super speedie ....no comment.....awesome2 :bowdown:

[deaderthanred]

what in the compositon makes you think it is a humour piece?
i think it's the ratio between the girl and the background.. usually something that looms right up to the "camera" and towering almost over the background is either menacing or amusing (to me anyways), and the appearance of the girl in a non-menacing pose sorta suggests humor.. at least, that's my point of view on this :)

here's a fresh one, just saw Batman Begins, pretty cool movie :)

so is your sketch!:buttrock: i third the suggestion to make it a finished piece, the composition is really cool

sometimes it helps to paint a skeleton over the character to see the proportions
better and stuff... how does it look now ? (in my eyes it's not badly off)

http://www.saunalahti.fi/panuom/ladyskeletor.jpg

[Nazirull]

Looks ok to me, with or without the skeleton....nice skeleton niway squibbs!

[Squibbit]

worked a little on batman, how's it look now?

http://www.saunalahti.fi/panuom/BatmanBegins_3.jpg

[Nazirull]

Splendid! I love the shininess of the cape.....although i think Gotham should be on the left...

edit: then again there would be no space for the bats....

[sergioKomic]

... saves bat-image for his personal squibworshiping folder, leaves with no feedback left...

woops. just saw the redone batman one. Really looks awesome. keep goin with it.

[MichaelZHsee]

hey squib,nice going with the batman piece~i think it'll look even better with some mist or fog covering alil bit of the character in the foreground:)

[MechaHateChimp]

Squib,

Your batman piece looks great! I actually like your initial sketch best ... maybe you can darken batman slightly and just add a few subtle highlights on the cape? Great use of color by the way.

[Sagii]

Wow nice collection of works you have here :bounce: .. that batman is sooo cool.

[makaron]

wow, here it was hips of work to look at... :wip: really fun to see...

Hey Squib!

Beautiful job on the Batman pic and I LOVE those dwarves. Of course, I've always been partial to dwarves cause they are so funny and cute...and apparently have good ale too. :D

Any plans to do more with the dwarves? Colour I mean...heh heh.
Also noticed that at some point a couple of the flanking dwarves must have discovered storm trooper technology and abandoned their axes. Sweet!

Cheers!

Thanks for comments, people!
