now the creature really stands out more and the colors separate him from the background. nice use of colors man, it’s lookin amazing, I love all the demons in the distance too. you’re one bad ass artist dude! so far this is my fav 2D image on this forum…

#222

oh yes!!! :buttrock: this is really putting peoples ideas into action, I admire that a lot, great work. This puts the door nob real nice and high, and it will keep me pushing for the best quality, thanks! :smiley:

Hi Simon, I did a quick paintover on your image, with the colours I had in mind as soon as I saw your image. It’s just my imagination of the colours I would like to see on it. I hope you take it with a grain of salt.

This was done in about 30 mts in photoshop, adding a couple of layers in colour mode, one for the blues and one for the greens so that I have complete control over them.

All said and done, I can never conceive and paint something as brilliant as this. Your portfolio is one of the best I’ve ever seen.:slight_smile:

If this is not what you had in mind, take complete pleasure in ignoring it.

Hey Simon,

Awesome image !! Totally love the mood and enviroment on it. I think your palette works very well. ( I´m a fan and user and totally slave of painter :D, and love to work on one layer and work through the brushes, I totally enjoy that :smiley: ) Again, awesome work and waiting for more updates! Cheers!! :beer: + wine :smiley:

ROBOTTANK - Thanks, glad you’re liking it

live2contage - Cheers, I try :slight_smile:

vikramvr - Thanks for that, it’s given me a couple of ideas. I do like the moss on the rocks and the ground, I’ll certainly give that a go. I also intend to colour the sky a bit more but haven’t yet got around to it. Watch this space… :slight_smile:

Ferx - Thanks for dropping by, appreciated!

ario - Cheers!

#227

Well, I think that’s the colours done (vikramvr - thanks for the moss idea although I did it the long way round, no layers :smiley: ). Just detail work left now - ah, the end is in sight :slight_smile:

#228

And some more detail… Next update will be the last sigh

#229

Watching this all come together has been a trip. My only crit at this point would be that the figure in the foreground is too close to center, but its very minor. As everyone already said, really amazing work.

#230

very cool! I look forward to seeing your finnished piece. you seem to paint very fast, I was wondering how much time you spend on this piece every day?

#231

WOW! very impressive. I’m jealous of your amazing skills. Cant wait to see the final image!

#232

You don’t use layers mate? I wouldn’t know what to do without them! I’m guessing you have a strong (and surely very impressive) traditional media background, cause your brushstrokes and pallette are so confident. It’s sad that you’re already finishing cause watching your progress is always a learning experince for us mere mortals, but all good things must come to an end sometime. :cry:
Congratulations Simon!

jushra - Thanks! That’s a good point about the figure, never really noticed before, but I think he’ll have to stay there now :slight_smile:

Tedskis - Really? I think I paint slow but I guess it’s all relative :slight_smile: Time spent? Well, on average I think I did about two hours for each WIP stage so far so maybe 20 or 25 hours so far on the main image. Thanks for dropping by.

Phill99 - Thanks, although I’ve still a lot of stuff to learn - I’ve made quite a few mistakes in this one and I’m never really satisfied with the finished product. All part of the process!

GaeasHerald - Heh, thanks very much. Actually… I don’t have any art background prior to digital, I only wish I did. I suppose the reason I don’t use layers is to maintain the painterly approach so that the result doesn’t appear too clean and “digital” looking. I know other people manage to do this and use layers too but I prefer to do it all on one canvas. Having said that, I do sometimes use layers for general character positioning initially although I’ll always flatten them before I start painting.

#234

Oh crap…i’m depressed now…that work…simply amazing…gotta pick myself up quickly n work harder… . :slight_smile: Anyway, awesome work, like the composition alot.

#235

Piece of art :bowdown:

#236

Jesus! You never disappoint Simon congrats on finishing the painting! Wait you not done yet! Looks promising though!

#237

AlienKing - Thanks a lot, glad you like it!

nellement - Cheers :slight_smile:

beelow - Hello there Bryce, thanks for dropping by. Yep, a bit of tidying up to do - and some text - and it’ll be done. Thanks goodness…

#238

Hey man! Looks great!

Don’t forget to ground his front left leg. (the leg on the right side of the picture) Right now its got no shadow which makes it seem like its a little disconnected from the background, or floating off the ground. Do you know what I mean?

I love it!

#239

numabrush - Glad you like it, cheers. His front leg is actually meant to be in the air! I tried blurring the tip a bit but maybe that hasn’t worked. I’ll try to think of something else :smiley:

#240

This is looking awesome, the perspective, the color the action, WOW, this is front page material. but you might wanna stick the front right leg on the ground just a little.
