:)Nice one Swoop, I like a lot the atmosphere. Perhaps could you make the building more straight and work a bit more on the perspective?
Here is a color study (unfortunately, I’ve tried differents settings and differents wiews on photobucket, imageshack…and the colors are less saturated than the original). Any tip?
one hour, PS
bye

Yeah i noticed the crooked perspective when i was finished (cant see the forrest for trees hehe) and i didnt feel like spending more time on it 
But thanks for your critique 
Arnocob: It is good to see something different from you… keep going.
This is with my own photo reference:


One hour, done after a party this night…
Well, started in a SF/adventure 's style, but…in the process, I 've changed it for something more funny.
Bye

~45 minutes, photoshop, no reference.
Another beach-themed piece wasn’t going quite as well as I wanted…I seem to have a lot of trouble painting cliffs and rocky surfaces, even if they aren’t made sharp as a twig. So, I decided to go and mess around today. Heh…right now, I’m having second thoughts about this piece, but it was interesting to do. That’s me, though - I will always beat myself up after doing something. At least I managed to motivate myself to do something today, which is far better than most days which I begin on a game…
EDIT: Hmmm…how do I show images from my Portfolio here? I think it’s awkward how I keep using Imageshack when I should have my image displayed like everyone else.
Arnocob, the problem with the desaturation is that most browsers don´t support ICC-profiles. However they are expecting pictures to be in sRGB as a kind of preset. So it´s always a good idea to convert your pictures in sRGB before posting, you don´t necessarily have to integrate the profile . I do, but most people don´t. Doesn´t make a big difference anyway. What you shouldn´t do is to post pictures including an Adobe RGB-profile.
Interesting colorscheme btw. Like it.
Koshime, that one rocks! It´s more an expression rather than showing fancy details which is just to my taste.
90 refless minutes in PS&Painter

Art: nice one! Can you recommend a good site where I could learn more about these color profiles of which you speak? Beyond the differences between RGB and CMYK, I’m pretty oblivious.

Artvandeley, thanx for the info. I’ll do that now! Amazing color, lighting and pose on the last one! So living.
Another lighting study…(small persp problem, but ok…)
I wanted to work on the colors first. So, no details!
one hour 30, ps
bye

Yeah, i really like this one. Stunning perspective and great colors. Good job:thumbsup: Makes me wanna try this myself. But one pic at a time hehe…
Oh, and: Thanks!


Hi!
Another color study…
I chose an “easy” subject for the painting (angular, boxes shapes etc)
2 hours 30, ps
bye
