Steampunk Myths and Legends Entry: Tiziano Baracchi

#21

Neubius and Ferx, thank you! Glad you like the idea. :slight_smile:

#22

Nice work so far. i Am also looking at doing a piece based on the Hephaestus legend.

Glad to see the image captured some one elses imagination.

Good luck

Hi Tiziano,

Glad to see you again, my friend!
Guess what, this time around I will try doing some 2d - and that’s largely because of your influence. Remember you showed me the paint over of the eye? I was so impressed that wanted to do it myself ever since (though not sure anything sensible will come out).

Great idea with the forge-god and his creations! Like the color palette too. Can’t wait to see the wip!!!

Good luck!

#24

bro … seeing your first color concept really gets the juices flowing :stuck_out_tongue: …
curiously waiting for the next update! good luck Tiz! :thumbsup:

#25

Hey Tiziano! I knew I’d find you here somewhere! I’m expecting something good from you again, so subscribing to your thread. Best of luck !

#26

Hey, cool concept, Tiziano! I’m afraid I don’t have enough time to try this challenge, but maaaan, I’m tempted. Lotsa friends doing this. I might just have to give it a whirl! It’s a big, uber-talented pond to swim in, but at the very least, I’ll learn a thing or two. Hmmmm…

Anywho, I’ll be watching you! Best of luck!

Cris

nice little pen work, very cool, cheers

#28

hi there! I really like the color scheme. I think as well that the steampunk was much about bronze and gold so it will fit nicely with the theme. Waiting for next composition sketches, best of luck!

#29

Really nice concept and I can already see lot of potential in it! keep it up! :slight_smile:

Automaticman Thank you and good luck to you too, I’m curious about your take on him. :slight_smile:

Musi you are paying me an enormous compliment, my friend, I’m at your disposal if needed. Good luck to you!

nwiz25 hey, Nevs! We share a pantheon it seems :wink: looking forward to your Artemis and unicorn. Good luck!

RicoD Hey, Rico! Great to see you. :). Yes, when all is said and done the lure of the challenge is impossible to resist. Good luck to you too!

CGriffin Well, well look who’s here :). My advice is just one, Cris,try it. Every time I debate for a while about entering and then…I guess I’m addicted. The feeling of the community during a Challenge is umbeatable and I’ve always learned a lot to boot.

Korline Thank you very much!

NinjaA55N Hi, Blaz! Yes, when I read about Ephaestus’ bronze home in addiction to the golden handmaiden it just clicked for me, hopefully I’ll do it justice. Good luck to you, more sketches to come soon.

Donglu-LittleFish Thanks, Donglu! If all goes according to plan I’ll work on more sketches in the weekend, and then all visitors to the thread will be drafted into jury work, you have been warned! (insert evil-overlord-style laugh).

Hey Tiziano,

Glad to have you back. Man there’s some heavy hitters this time around. Everyones entries looks incredible, your’s is no exception. Looking forward to your next post. Great subject matter by the way. I need to read more.LOL
Take care,
Brad

#32

Yes, heavy hitters indeed (and some leviathans, too). Thanks, for the compliment, Brad, it is very appreciated but I feel more like a feather, tough… to be swept away by the storm of such talent :smiley: .

I’m planning to post a couple more ideas of the same theme this weekend, after finishing a personal work in progress right now.

#33

concept looks intresting! Good luck!

#34

Thank you very much!

#35

Hey Thaldir,
Awesome to see you entering again!
I don’t think I’m going to be able to make this one, seeing as we are going overseas with baby to see the great-grandparents.
I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on your wonderful work and be cheering you all the way!

#36

Hey, Bronwen! Thanks for stopping by :love:. Sorry that you won’t be in this time, but at least it is because of a pleasant reason…looking forward to your imput when you can. :slight_smile:

I’ll update with another sketch later today, meanwhile, if anyone is curious, the personal piece I was working on is finished and posted in the showcase gallery, here:

#37

A bit late (installing my new PC got in the way) but here comes the second composition sketch.
There are things I like here, mostly the composition, but I think that, even as a sketch it lacks in the ‘steam’ department, I’ll work more on that in the next one, at the moment I think I needed to ‘get rid’ somehow of cyberpunkish elements.

#38

Ah! Now we can recognize your work again with those female attributes. Looking good, ace :thumbsup:

#39

Hey Tiziano,

Congrats for your new computer :smiley: we are missing you my friend :slight_smile:

That sketch looks really cool, like the composition on it :smiley: Maybe you can try a bit more vertical canvas and adding steam machinery on the upper part, only a comment :slight_smile: Cheers!! :beer:

#40

@ MartinNielsen: Thanks !

@ Ferx: Got the point. I will definitely try to give more “air” (steam ? :wink: ) on the top on this one, thank you, Fernando.

I will now sketch down a couple more different compositions and then decide “THE ONE”.
