Strange Behavior (Illustration) Entry: Simon Dominic Brewer

[BaronImpossible]

This is going to be uber-quick - in and out before you know it (missus). Just for a laugh, really, as I liked the challenge idea.

Just kidding - I don't do cartoony stuff, as you can tell... :)

After 30 seconds or more deliberation, I decided to do something surreal. It's called skyhook, it's basically an old farmer who decides to go fishing in his back field. As you do.

Got a quick sketch, loosely ref'd from a photo to get the colours. Now to block in the farmer and the fish...

[Slav]

really strong colors in the last one. keep up the great job here. :)

[Goro]

Great colors simon!
Good luck on the challenge!

[nwiz25]

yup yup .. i certainly agree with Slav! :P ... amazing colour palette! cool concept too! :P


hehehe .. at first i thought da farmer was partially invisible :P :D

good work once again :P

all the luck to u my friend!

cheers! :beer:

[BaronImpossible]

Slav - thanks a lot and good luck

Goro - I've seen your WIPs - you don't need luck :) But good luck anyway

nwiz25 - Heh, I now have a full farmer, I'll upload him in a minute. Good luck.

Colour blocked in so it's just a case of adding detail and I'm done. Told you it'd be quick ;) I'll have another look at it tomorrow.

[W-I-L]

great to see you here... this is one of my favourite concepts ..simple and yet wuite powerful.

[Zephyrpower]

Wow!!

Very nice palette and a beautiful yet simple concept. I really like the atmosphere and feel of this as well.

Just curious though, what is the man supposed to be doing? I originally thought he was like flying a kite and the fish were the kite or something, but thing in his hand looks more like a fishing pole and another person mentioned a farmer. So is he farming the fish? Fishin in the sky? Flying a fish kite?

[Squibbit]

good to see your work again dude, cool pics :thumbsup:

[Thaldir]

Glad to see you're in, Baron.:)

Definitely an interesting idea, I'm looking forward to the next updates.:)

[BaronImpossible]

W-I-L - Good to see you here too - cheers!

Zephyrpower - cheers. Yep, he be fishin in the sky for sky fish :) It'll become clearer later when I paint in his fishing rod and line (probably near the end).

Squibbit - Hello there Mr Squibbit! Long time no hear from, good luck in the challenge :)

Thaldir - Another familiar "face" :) Thanks and good luck

[Thaldir]

You're welcome. Best of luck, and have fun!

Just had time to do another 1/2 hr. Hopefully you can see a bit better what's going on

[AJ]

Hello!

I really like your sketches so far. Your concept is similar to Erilaz's (http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?f=224&t=511816) but I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing... Especially as he's going down the 3D route.

Just thought I'd give you a heads-up!

:D

[Squibbit]

Squibbit - Hello there Mr Squibbit! Long time no hear from, good luck in the challenge :)


i'm not in it but thanks anyhow :P

[MichaelZHsee]

good to have u in sir:)im liking the colors and very nice concept too.its gonna be fun watching ur progress:thumbsup:good luck.

[flyingP]

had to crack up when I saw the cow concept :D do like the colours on the last though

[MVDB]

Good luck on this wierd behavior! Have a great challenge!

[BaronImpossible]

AJ - Damn, you're right! Serves me right for not checking the other threads before I started. Still, too late now, we'll just have to see which one of us catches more fish! :)

Squibbit - Pity!

MichaelZHsee - Good to see you too, and good luck! I still have you chinese lanterns pic in my personal collection - awesome!

flyingP - Thanks v much :)

techdivine - Cheers

MVDB - Sure, you too

http://assets.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/19/13131/13131_1183311279_medium.jpg (http://assets.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/19/13131/13131_1183311279_large.jpg)

Started adding details on the grass and trees. Also gave the fisherman a basket (what, was he going to carry them home?) and moved him into the pic a little to improve the composition. Next I'll finish detailing the trees and background, then the sky, fish and finally the fisherman himself, in that order :)

[BaronImpossible]

Mmm... and how come my images are 70 - 80Kb on my HD, but when I load them they're now 1317.5Kb!? I thought the images in the threads were loading slow!

[Goro]

Yeah I realized it too...they seem to be converted to bmp.... but why.

Anyways your pic is coming up really nice! You're moving fast ;)
Something bothers me about the composition...I can't tell what it is...maybe it's
the gap between the fishes and the fisherman.
When I look at the painting my eye can't decide where to look first. Fisherman or the fishes in the right corner.

Maybe it would be interesting to put the fisherman in the foreground. Much bigger so we can see his back in the left corner. (if it isn't too late to do so...)

Or you make the picture format more vertical (thiner in the width) to decrease the distance
bewtween fisherman and fish.

[BaronImpossible]

Goro - now there's an idea! Hmm... I'm going to leave the fisherman purely because this is just a fun piece and I'm doing it quick, otherwise I would try what you suggest. But narrowing the picture... there's an idea. I'll mock that up and see what happens. Nice suggestions :thumbsup:

[BaronImpossible]

http://assets.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/19/13131/13131_1183313286_medium.jpg (http://assets.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/19/13131/13131_1183313286_large.jpg)

I just cut & pasted the right side nearer to the left for a mock-up. To me, that looks a lot better, I think I'll do it in the actual pic. Thanks for that suggestion, Goro!

Hopefully once I get the fishing line in to link the fisherman and the fish then the focus issue should be resolved. I hope so, cos the line's going in last and I won't be altering it after that :)

[Goro]

yeah looks much more balanced! :thumbsup:

[digital-bobert]

Wonderful! Lookin great Simon

[BaronImpossible]

http://assets.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/19/13131/13131_1183322304_medium.jpg (http://assets.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/19/13131/13131_1183322304_large.jpg)

Cut the middle out, as Goro suggested. That's all for now, back soon :)

[paperclip]

Beautiful colors- you are blessed with a great colour sense! One thing I was considering though- do you really need the fish on the left? The triangular composition might be stronger if you didn't have them there, then you could focus on the farmer and the fish, with the farm leading your eye around. Just an idea. I think what you have right now is beautiful.

[fellah]

amazing mood! but i can't figure out if it's a rifle or a fishing pole. my suggestion is to make it more clear so that stupid ppl like me won't have problems reading that ;)

[Yrindale]

This definitely ranks in my top favorite concepts right now. You always use such great colors, Simon. I dig it. I think the edit you applied, as per the suggestion of Goro, helped a lot. It feels much more unified now. The composition with the fish does still feel a bit difficult for me, which doesn't make sense since it's such a simple design really.... but oh well. I don't know what I'd toy with in order to make that flow differently. Not that it matters a whole lot - I know you're not pushing overly hard on it in respects of it being a quick fun one :)

As far as quick fun pieces go? I think it's snazzy.

[Vahn]

hehe i like it. the colors are really pleasing. but why are the fish flying in the air ? :P

[Steampunk]

wow ~ very nice ! cool idea!

[beelow]

Welcome back Simon. Good luck!:thumbsup:

[draldede]

Beautiful as it is, striking color, evocative atmosphere and a very well balanced composition, this work has a great potantial I think. Good luck and best wishes:)

[icedeyes]

very nice painterly mood... just love it...

[TomGodfrey]

This looks like being great fun -good luck - very clever concept.

[MrFreeman]

:applause: Great work so far

Good to see you back again and look forward to seeing the final outcome

Good Luck in the challenge

Dave :bounce:

[BaronImpossible]

paperclip - Cheers, although I admit to getting the purple / orange / green colour scheme idea from a photo I found so this time it didn't all come from my head :) I know what you mean about the smaller fish, I've already subdued their colours but probably what I'll do later is make them small and bring them closer to the farmer. Thanks for the advice.

fellah - Cheers. At the moment it's just a black line, it will become a fishing rod, honest. I'll be adding it last of all (I'm not looking forward to painting the fishing line - curves are not my forte).

Yrindale - Thanks v much. I'll make a few changes later and hopefully, when everything's done, the focus of the piece should be more clear. Note I say "hopefully" :)

Vahn - Now that's a good question. I've always had a thing for flying fish, ever since I saw some film when I was a kid (was it Reanimator? I can't recall)

Steampunk - Cheers, glad you like it

beelow - I knew you'd be here somewhere! Good to see you, good luck!

draldede - Thanks a lot, good luck to you too

icedeyes - Cheers :)

TomGodfrey - Glad you think so, it makes a change from some of my recent stuff that has been a bit dark!

MrFreeman - Cheers, good to see you around, best of luck :)

[zweiDee]

nice entry, cool idea and nice colorz. good look!

[calisto-lynn]

wow amazing colours!!!

[W-I-L]

Has anyone ever told you this? . . AMAZING COLOURS!

cant wiat to see u progress with it now... always gets depressingly good from here

[BaronImpossible]

zweiDee - Cheers, you too

calisto - Thanks!

MechaHateChimp - glad you like it, thanks :)

W-I-L - Heh, thanks. Don't hold your breath for this to get particularly good, but I hope it will improve just a little before I finish :)

[Ramitxon]

Hi Simon, It's nice to see you here too. I love your image, it's fantastic, you have an amazing grasp of colours and composition. I'm doomed. I suscribe to your thread, and to think that this is only the begining...

[PereBalsach]

I love it man!
Really cool idea and really cool colors/composition

Subscribed to this thread :bounce:

[rawgon]

this work is beatifull, colors and all, but, i think you should go mad and put some coral reefs floating in distance, just for the kicks!;)

[Ivy00]

ha ha this is nice, reminds me of where I live :) great colors

[SONIC-X]

Very nice sketch and color.

Love your idea.

Really like it! Love the style. Nice idea. Colours. Uch.

[beelow]

I just got my internet back working and I saw that we had a new contest here hehe. Yeah I guess you figured me out already hehe. I love the color choices. It will be interesting to see you work again!:thumbsup:

[Selina42]

Wow!

Amazing concept -beautiful colours -this is stunning and i think watching your progress i might learn a thing or two!

[BaronImpossible]

CGriffin - Hey Cris, faboo 2u2, thanks for dropping by ;)

imperioli - Cheers :)

beelow - Yep, and yours too, once I get a mo to look around :thumbsup:

Selina42 - Thanks a lot!

Won't have time to do any more until tomorrow, but I'll post something then

[BaronImpossible]

OK, just had time to spend an hour or so adding some more detail. I repositioned the small fish, too. Hopefully they won't be a distraction now. More tomorrow :)

[BaronImpossible]

Damn, now the forum's compressing my images like a mad thing! Sorry about the quality but the upload procedure has reduced the file from 120Kb to like 50Kb, taking out all the detail in the process :sad:

[drewfarr]

It still looks quite fantastic.


I dig the concept. Its terribly simple, but it really works well for this scene.

[StuntMan]

The subtle rainbow is fantastic, it's a magical scene! It really works for me, but for some reason I thought the old man was carving a fishing pole which could be more interesting than just fishing. Like maybe he noticed the fish in the sky and started to prepare to catch them? Or what about a sort of kite-fishing-pole?

Good luck, I really like this scene. It might be what one would expect to see in the competition, but it's got such a unique mood that it really stands on its own. The only thing that is a little off to my eyes is the yellow barn. I'm guessing that you wanted it to blend in more with the grass, but growing up in a farm community I always sawa dark red or grey wood barns. Anyway, keep it up!

[BaronImpossible]

drewfarr - Thanks :)

StuntMan - Thanks for the suggestions. Trouble is, he's caught two fish already ;) I'll try a couple of things with the barn and see what happens.

[BaronImpossible]

Added a shark. I'll add another later. A bit more detail too.

[Thaldir]

Looks like your angler has better watch out for the shark, that beast is flying low... getting ready to turn and swoop down maybe? ;)

I'm in love with the 'stormy and sunny' light you've given to this piece, surreal and perfect.

[Vitreous]

great start to the challenge and a really interesting concept, what kind of brushes do you use in painter? i love the program but sometimes find the brushes i use tio be a bit unweildy but you seem to have a nice balanbe between a painterly look but controlled use of the brush.

[StuntMan]

One more thing... you might be able to put in some cloud shadows on the ground to further show depth and break up the big yellow spot on the ground. It'd also lend itself well to the stormy feel, having sun shining through on tiny spots and not everywhere.

[W-I-L]

yep... thats exactly what i would expect to see if Terry Pratchett went fishing:D

[Kei-Acedera]

OOhh thats a real neat idea! Its looking great..I like your color palette too !

[Slav]

i always had a strange relationship with fishing, although i never was a frequent fisher i always felt that in some parallel universe i was made for it. then again i perceive myself in many roles, but i guess that fishing is the only recurring one.i really like this piece because of this fact, its nostalgic but yet still full of wonder and mystery. defiantly one of your best works.

[busquets]

Great concep behind the image..and your painting is clean yet very powerful.. i'm following this thread ir...i'll keep a eye on you ;)

[TM-Oliveira]

Great start! Looking forward to see the final version.

Good luck!!

[BaronImpossible]

Thaldir - This fisherman's real experienced, so he's OK with the sharks :) Thanks!

Vitreous - Hi. Well, I'm using mainly one single brush here, basically a pressure sensitive oil variant I made myself. The more pressure, the more paint goes onto the canvas and the less the paint bleeds. Apply a small pressure and it acts as a blender, putting down almost no paint at all. It also has pressure sensitive grain and RGB colour variation to give a more painterly approach.

StuntMan - Cheers, that's a good idea. I'll bear it in mind.

W-I-L - Heh, you may be right there ;)

Kei-Acedera - Thanks a lot!

Slav - For me, artwork is only real when it provokes emotion, so I'm glad you said that :thumbsup: Personally I can't connect with the guy, but only because he's caught two fish when I've never caught any ;)

busquets - Cheers, glad you like it

TM-Oliveira - Thanks. Not long now, I hope :)

i like your concept..mine is similiar...great colors and cute sharks!

u have got a very distinctive color pallete in ur works,this looks like a very interesting concept too:)keep it coming mate!:thumbsup:

[authentic]

great start, I like it.

[icedeyes]

the sharks look good but also look like they are smilling... where you aiming at that? if not i would tone that down a bit... great work so far..

[Agostinuke]

awesome:thumbsup:

[paulwdavidson]

One word.......Lovely!

It's going to be stunning.

Paul

[W-I-L]

looks like it not that strange to me considering the floods we have been having.. wouldnt be surprised to see sharks swiming 18 feet up in a feild... o, great progress btw

[dobermunk]

love the mood. Its on the edge: could be strange that there's a barn under water, or that there are sharks in the air.

[Quills]

There's nowt stranger than the guy's knee-high socks, thats for sure! Wicked colouring. How about a cheeky retriever eel swimming around his feet and off to retrieve the latest catch? Great stuff,

[BaronImpossible]

HFix - Thanks. I'll check yours out when I get a mo

MichaelZHsee - Cheers, will do :thumbsup:

o-l-d - Thanks. Not many more on this piece, but there's more to come after it's finished

paulwdavidson - Heh, cheers, I hope so! :)

W-I-L - I decided not to include the sewage though :)

dobermunk - Nah, happens all the time where I'm from ;)

RebCapper - a retriever eel... and they call me weird :) Nice idea, cheers!

Almost done. Just a few more tweaks yet.

Thats a great pole(man that sounds lame :) ), and I like the highlighting technique you've used on the fishing line.

[cbernardo]

Wow! I just love your idea and your concept!

113 days to go... I'll be doing at least one other image and then choosing which to enter at the end. Thanks for viewing, see y'all soon :)

nothing elso to write than... love this one :applause:

[Nigio]

Congrats, man! I really like the idea and the painterly look you've given to it. It's amazing. Good luck!

[Art2]

No need to do another one.
This one's perfect! :thumbsup:

[beelow]

I know Simon well Art2, he will do another image hehe. If he still has time left he will do a third LOL. Simon likes to paint. Awesome colors and concept none the less Simon. Waiting for the next painting.:thumbsup:

[yakonusuke]

Great one.
Maybe you could improve the sky, cause at the moment it seems to be
a little bit sketchy, done with only a few brush strokes. I dont mean, that
you should paint big overdone clouds, but i think they should be more significant.
Anyway,its a big piece!
And i would be glad to see another one ;)

[Ramitxon]

Wow, awesome. Judging for the time it took, you could do some dozen more. It's fantastic man...:eek:, I hate you bastard...

[icedeyes]

so, this is not the final piece eh? fooled me...

Very good... ccant wait for the next idea

[zweiDee]

damn man I turned out. Fantastic Work, concrats. The sharks who sminging around the tower, thats just genius. by the way your online gallery rockz, weapon factory its my favorie piece.^^
good look

[W-I-L]

You take the piss, you know that. They should call you baron impossible..o wait.

I couldnt disagree more with yakonsuke. The sky is perfect. It sets a really calm yet errie mood which compliments the idea perfectly. I Don't want to lay it on too thick but your image is striking and there is just something great about the mood. Well done.. can not wait to see your next image.

[Nemesix]

Congratulations for this amazing piece. I love it! I enjoyed and paid atention to the whole process. Well done and good luck! :)

[BaronImpossible]

makaron - Thanks :)

Nigio - Thanks, good luck to you also

Art2 - Cheers. I probably will, though ;)

beelow - You got it. I'll starting thinking about a new one this week.

yakonusuke - Thanks for the input. Well, I deliberately left the sky like that so it wouldn't draw attention away from the characters. Maybe in the next one I'll do a more dynamic sky!

Ramitxon - Ha! :D Maybe not a dozen, but I should be able to manage another one or two.

icedeyes - Thanks!

zweiDee - Ah, you like Weapons Factory :thumbsup: I did it as a really quick piece but I thought it turned out OK considering.

W-I-L - Thanks v much, glad you like it. Hopefully the next one won't disappoint (I'm trying to think of something non-comic but which fits the brief!)

Nemesix - Cheers, and glad you enjoyed it

[draldede]

Wonderfull colors, brilliant idea, superb craftsmanship, I think this is the best concept I've ever seen for this challenge, may the fortune be with you:D

[MichaelZHsee]

man u finished this thing in less than 2 weeks....:scream:are u gonna do a new one soon or u'll stick with this one?nontheless,u pull it off fantasticly,the colors,the composition and most of all the ideas and concept behind it:)great stuff!:thumbsup:

[yakonusuke]

yakonusuke - Thanks for the input. Well, I deliberately left the sky like that so it wouldn't draw attention away from the characters. Maybe in the next one I'll do a more dynamic sky!



Nooo .... i knew you get me wrong, but no problem i`ll try again :) :
I didn't want you to make big dramatic clouds or anything like this, no , its perfekt like it is, but the way the few smudges were made seem (for me) to be improvable. A bit smoother , more cloud like . But it doesn't really matter. It was just a thought.
keep it up. :)

[Agostinuke]

this is really great. :thumbsup:

[NinjaA55N]

whoaaa! r u kidding man? already on a finish line? u r fast :eek:
The entry sure is awesome, colors and everything works so fine, to topic is top notch. But I'd think of puting those sharks in the back more forward. Its too bad they r hidden somewhere there, I just didnt notice them until I saw a close up. And they r painted so well as well as they add to the story. Just a thought nad cant wait to see ur next entry :D good luck!

[Ste7enL]

I found out about this challenge a little late, so I didnt get to follow this one, but I love the final result. Beautiful colors and imagery. Great concept as well.

[OKMER]

Well,nothing very original I can say but"whoooo Nice pic"!
And that's what i'm going to say right now!:

A sea monster protects the offering and turns on those who sacrificed her.

Looks as if I'm not the only one with flying fish on the mind :)

[halvarado]

WOW both the last posts are amazing! I like the villager bringing the god a birthday cake. I also really really love the color palette on the fishing in the field piece. You are an amazing painter! I look forward to what else you bring on.

[Slav]

oh ffs! more?! you are a marvel my friend.

[icedeyes]

the birthday cake one would not work really good imho while the one with the sacrifice could become a great image... just my thoughts

[nandlaskar]

cool work going on friend.:)
