This was the view from my window. I took a photo with my digicam to grab it while it was still around and then painted from that.

I like it Nekomouse, it's real moody.
My thingy turned out awful, hopefully it will be an incentive for you all to do better ;)

[edit]
After reading the "paintover please" (http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?t=359226&page=9&pp=15) thread I got inspired again and improved it a bit. I think it's bearable now :) (see right one above)
Comments to improve it futher appreciated of course.

From the sky she watches patiently for her love, protecting him from unseen dangers while waiting for the day their eyes meet again...

Robertt > I love! the colours in your piece. The line you wrote above your piece gives it an extra sense of bitter sweetness. I like what you've done. Good job

Grevy > Welcome and nice first post! I thought your piece was a little bizzare but it totally appealed to me :) I like it.

JimiPhoenix > Gosh how much do I love yours? It feels so whimsical, like a delightful children's book illustration. Just something about the man and the way his coat collar flies up I really dig. Also the woman on the broomstick and the adorable flying pig with the strange expression in his eyes. Yup, definatly dig worthy. Least in my opinion anyway.

[JimiPhoenix]

Thanks for your comments Silken Shadow. If anything I intended it to be even more whimsical than it turned out, but Photoshop crashed about four times during the process, so once I reached a certain point, I just kind of left it.

I did this sketch with my little sister sitting next to me, and she suggested that the pig was actually dead. I really hadn't intended to bring that kind of mood to the image, so I asked her how it had died. She said, "It was butchered. Gordon Ramsay butchered his pigs."
...no more TV for her. I also declined her request to name the picture "Flying Pigs From Heaven" :D

30 mins, PS. One day when I was younger I saw a cloud in the shape of a wolf, but none of my friends believe me!

"See it! It's right there~ Look there!",I say.
they say, "What? I just see a bunch of pretty clouds!", "No it's right there , it's a wolf!" I say.

Hehe. I am American native and there is a legend that says the wolves are our ancestors' spirits. I believe my ancestor spirit watch over me. Especially that day in the sky.

After the Satan-riding-evil-Kea sketch I figued I'd better do another NZ themed sketch to prove we're not all quite that crazy :eek: .

So here's the classic flying kiwi.

50 min / GIMP / tablet

... embryotic's flatmate - For your first ever drawing in photoshop, that's pretty good. I know mine was considerably worse.

[Eurayo]

In hindsight, I probably should have pushed the perspective and given this a more extreme angle of view, but it was a fun way to start today. Photoshop; 40 min.

lol, that's a pretty cute little story. Too bad about Photoshop crashing so much but the title your little sister made up is priceless.

Hey guys and girls!
I tried to make a war picture of parachute-soldiers.
I found it realy difficult and i know i still got loads to learn.
I hope anyone can give me some good advise about this and about sketching overall.

PS - run out of time again: 1,5 hours

Hey, I know I'm late :/ I wanted to finish all my entries for the Blizzard art contest first.

So here's my entry: Started out as a picture of an angel flying or something, I spent like 15-20 minutes on it, then drew the clouds, and when I put the flying dude back in there, it was hiding all of the clouds. Since it was crappy looking, I totally changed my mind and put a tiny plane instead which took me a few minutes to draw. So, it took me 1h to make it all, but since the angle doesn't appear on there, you can remove 20 min

So here's a 40min sketch:

Photoshop+tablet.
By the way, I haven't watched the other people's entry before drawing this, and it really changes the way my mind works to create pics... I'll do that each time now I think.

Anyway, enjoy, and sorry I was so late : /

[EToby]
