[Mardukk]

I don't have any idea yet, but I'm certain that I'll try to do some image for this challange ;).

Finally I've found some time to work on my image. I want to make simply and clear idea. I want to do something original as well. That's why I'm don't making next scene full of action.
My idea shows an old woman which is spying her neighbors through the wall. This is situation that probably most of us well know. She is not a special secret agent, but she act like one of them and she know every rumors in the neighbourhood.

I hope you like the idea.

Here is rough b&w sketch. This is not the final composite. I just want to imagine the whole situation.

I've try to figure it out - how the old woman should look like. This is one of two sketches that I've done yesterday.

And this is the second one. This one is better in my opinion and I will probably do her face in this way. I would like to play whit this some more time and do as many sketches that I possibly can, but there is not much time left, so I've to start working on the final image fast.

[Mardukk]

I'll try to do this a little cartoony. This will be hard for me because I hardly never do that king of things. The next step will be searching of perspective and composition.

[lordbiernac]

go go go :)

[Mardukk]

:) Thanks for stopping by dude.

I hope that I'll be able to finish this image. Any comments and critics are welcome ;).

Here is a sketch that I've done yesterday. I've chosen a perspective from the bottom of a grandma because I think that will be nice.

I've still a lot of work.

Here is also b&w version to see if the color and values are right.

Good sense of light dude, composition works , maybe only do something with the lamp, as lordbiernac said.

Marty bless You!

Interesting concept, not one I would really associate with the theme but I can see the connection. I live the angle and the colors! The lines across the window are crooked and not in perspective with each other. I know it sounds like a small quibble, but it's the area in the painting that my eye goes to first, the only cool spot on an otherwise warm canvas... and the only thing to see there are the crooked lines :shrug:
Good luck with the rest! :thumbsup:

hahajajaja love it, funny one! Good job man and good luck for the contest!

Here is my finall image. I'm quite happy with the result. I wasn't able to achieve a level of details that I want to do because of deadline. So I have to leave this image at this stage.

The idea of this image is quite simple.
It shows an old woman Lucy which is spying her neighbors through the wall.S he live only with her cat Lord Bluepaws. She is not a special secret agent, but she act like one of them and she know every rumors in the neighbourhood. Her skills of overhearing are probably quite impressive.

I really like this one - great POV and lots of originality. I think it's great that you did something different, but still really hit the theme of the contest. Good luck.

[divengrabber]

can anyone provide cheats for this game?

[Chirone]

may i ask what you did in photoshop to make it look painted?

[Mardukk]

Thanks guys!

Chirone: Honestly I don't know.Maybe it's just because of my own brushes and textures?

[pix3lm0nk]

the unassuming granny as a secret agent is brilliant. I love the fact she's holding her cat. Great attention to detail.
