SPEEDPAINTING CHALLENGE nr 6!!!!!!

[Michael]

Hello, guys,

Time for some scenery challenge. This week's challenge will be to paint the landscape/impression of a mood, DESCRIBED IN FOLLOWING LINES:


"The sun is covered a little by small, fluffy clouds. A subtle breeze is blowing from the east, caressing long blades of grass and leafs on a signle tree. The tree has been growing here for a long time, had lots of space for it and it rules the surrounding area, spreading it's branches further and further in all directions. Some flowers are showing their small faces here and there, hoping to be seen by a bee flying by. Everything seems to be peacefull, but there's something wrong.... something... in the thick roots of the tree. The tree doesn't realise it yet, neither all the area... but it's there. Something....

....evil."


You can use a reference on this of course. Please STICK to the description. There's little of specific details - you can hint the evil in thousands of ways, you can put any tree here, you can play with perspective - so there's lots of ways to interpret and paint it.

Deadline - as usual - Sunday the next week - 12:00 GMT + 01:00.

Have fun :D!

[Undertow]

my first speed paint comp entry ever.....be kind :)
done in photoshop in about 1hr 30min

[David Ciprian]

So we can paint anything as long as it's a scenery with mood ?

Can we have 200 entryes for this one? :D

[TheOne]

You have to stick to the description I reckon... :)

[David Ciprian]

I wonder: "You can use a reference on this of course."

[David Ciprian]

Anyway here's an attempt, one hour in PS. Not a strong mood, but there is some...I hope

[David Ciprian]

I like this mood better, 'nother 5 minutes

[Trkls]

Nice topic :>)
David congratulation on your last entry,
I was away for some time.
Nice one this time too, but I think you have to stick with the tree idea.

[Michael]

Undertow - yeah, that's what I was aiming for in description. Nice attempt, Maybe you could find some reference photos on the tree and surroundings, maybe you could try to pait from it, see how it goes. Paint looking at it, do not copy the parts of the photo with clone tool or any other tool, it has to be handpainted :).
The aim for this challenge is to paint a scenery that I described, to capture a certain atmosphere in the painting. You managed it qiute well. I would work more on the bark, maybe different perspective shot. :) Play with it :) Maybe evil should be less visible amond the roots, more like a hint, maybe?

David - Yeah, as the One said - you should stick to the descpription. The reference I mentioned was about using it for certain parts of the photo, like the tree, clouds, grass... etc. And there should be some hint, that something evil is there in the roots. That is the challenge about, not any painting as long as it has mood in it :roll: :p ;) . We always stick to the description. Your entry is fine, but doesn't resemble the desription, wouldn't you agree? ;) :D

[David Ciprian]

No problem, I'll do a valid entry:)

Trkls: thanks

[Michael]

The second one is nice.... :) maybe we will make one challenge about "free landscaping", with no desciption... just say a word, guys :D

[David Ciprian]

word!

-lame and spam-

[bc1967]

30 min.

[David Ciprian]

Sorry Michael for making things go off-topic

[Michael]

Dave - don't worry about it. :) ;)

bc1967 - great illustration! I really mean that :D .... but ummmm.... futuristic landscape competition will be here, but soon. You lost the tree :p. Please read the description at the top of the page and stick to it :)

[Marticlepan]

my first try at something like this - still in sketchy mode: details and color to come soon. about an hour in, using Painter 8

[Palantir]

Hi guys :)
i try to give a sensation of "something wrong" with a frustation and a sadness of a crying tree.
Maybe an old evil presence live in the tree and now show to all the world her sadness.

The evil is the same soul of the damned tree.

I made it in Painter 7 in about 3 hours of work.
i hope you like it :)
(sorry for my English :o :o )

i hope you like it
Palantir

[Undertow]

thanx michael i might work on it or maybe make another, i just drew the first thing that came to my head, but yeh thank you for ure comments i'll try and use them.


Marticlepan - looks good so far.....better than mine i'd have to say, has nice details and whatnot.

Palantir - looks good, uve even got the breeze from the east. The faces in the trunk are quite deep.....look great too.

[Toscoman]

My first post here!
1h hour, from start to finish.

Lacking a little creativity, but... I kinda like it :D
http://www.elefantecomunica.com.br/ars_loser/deposito/speed_painting.jpg

[Undertow]

just a quick crappy sketch of not so much the seen but a tree....that maybe could be tainted??

[pat1337]

i noticed that in all the images that all the of u guys have posted you all put a tree on the left hand side, when i first read the topic i immideatly thought of a tree on the left and an open field, though i have never done any 2d artwork, wait except 2 drawings, i am tempted to join this thread and give a shot at the 2d art, i dont have a tablet so i will have to draw in pen or pencil and scan and try my best.

[David Ciprian]

Now you've done it! I'm doomed to analyze the images in my mind forever...only to realise that you're right

[Phynius Gauge]

Hi guys. This is my second speed painting ever. 2 and a half hours with photoshop and a little noise filter. Nice paintings from everyone so far.

http://img49.exs.cx/img49/3386/TreePainting04.jpg

<Edit> Image hosting pisses me off :roll:.

[ROB]

Guys I'm having problems trying to paint the leaves well. Can any one help, Tutorial or something?

[David Ciprian]

If you're using photoshop there's a predefined leaf brush

[ROB]

Yer, the one Undertow used for his first entry. I'd like to try something a bit more realistic. I tryed the leaves but they dont really go that well with my pic. :(

[David Ciprian]

Well you can get nice effects if you can handle the shadows and colors while with the leaf brush

me too. how come? any idea? socialization? how so? I don't know... :eek:

[Death_monkey]

I thought I would have a dabble this week. This is my first attampt at something like this c&c always welcome

27mins in photoshop

[MIND-breaker]

yeah one 30min

[Palantir]

Thank's Undertow for comment. :)
I see the other work and concept and i like it.
And is very funny that most of us have painting a tree on the left of the image..... :P

..maybe the subject of Michael-3DT is very clear and give us his real mental think :P

^_^

[bc1967]

oopppsss:o
Note to self: Read the ENTIRE challange. I saw landscape and off I went.
I'll try another, coming soon to a post near you.

[DJS]

Afternoon all,

I decided to break up the day by doing your speed challenge at lunchtime.

These little challenges are a good idea, it's always good to practice.

This is my first post by the way, though I have been reading 3dtotal enthusiastically for a couple of years now.

Dave

[Wampyr]

it's been a while since i've actually gotten around to doing one of these...
total time about 2 and a half hours.

http://matrix.senecac.on.ca/~bmlarond/treescene.jpg

comments and crits welcome too

[Michael]

WOW, I see you like the idea :D Looost of posts here... and it's only second day of challenge :D... I'm so happy :D:o

Wampyr - really nice grass, good use of PS brush ;) I like the hint of the evil here :) Really nice

DJS - hehe... :D that's evil indeed :D

bc1967 - looking forward to it :)

Palantir - yes, I'm a Puppet Master :D you all will do waht I want. In the text a subliminal message is encoded, that you are to paint the tree on the left.... yesss.................... ;)
I like your entry, nice clouds. Nice cartoon style :)

MIND-breaker - I would loveto see it bigger with more details. :) Good one :)

Death_Monkey - maybe you should finish it... add more details maybe. Did you do it with mouse?

ROB - I think there's many ways to paint the leaves. But every artist has his own method. but a rule of a thumb says that when you see 3874 leave, you don't paint this number. You try to capture the impression of a shape. This will look more natural and better than if you would paint every single leaf.

Phynius Gauge - Looks good, I would add more details to it and more planes, more objects in the fog. Nice mood.

Undertow - sketchy... :D I would love to see your greater work, with more details and with more effort put into it :) ;)

Marticlepan - looks good so far, finish it. :)

[TheOne]

I will join this challenge as well! :)
I started my painting today and it's nearly finished, I'll post it soon. :)

[David Ciprian]

I was kinda bored so I haven't really put myself into doing it. Little over an hour

[SIDEX]

Hello,
i am new here
i am every day on this site but i don´t post anything before because my english is to bad you know ;)
but now i thought i make some a little picture :)
here is it: http://kremer.server-drom.de/scene.jpg
it is my second digital painting
okay bye

[Wooza]

Hi there,

this is my first mouse-drawing pic I've ever done. Just made banners, photo-editing, just the "technical style" (Sorry, dont know how to explain, my english is not the best :roll: ). Now I tried to draw and thats my finished work. hope its not to bad for the Competition. It took me 2h 30min of time :)

P.S.: I hope, u can see the evil :wave:

[Smack Monkey]

First off apologies if this is posted to the wrong place. This is the first time I've participated in a challenge so please don't flame me to badly if this is completeley wrong. Then again. . . go ahead :) just over an hour all photoshop.

Smackmonkey

[Daprato]

I this is my first speed painting, hum, for a forum, its take around 2hours, i dont remember exacly.
Since 2 or 3 mounth, i dont know why, but i play with my color, maybe to study more the affectation of each other...

Im sorry, but my tree is missing in the background, i have just a couple of roots very appear, the most important to feel the weirdness.


Envoy !

[Dragan]

Hi everyone, this is my first post, first comptetition, and first digital work that will be finished. I love all the pictures that you did! My pic, however, is still not finished but I would like to hear some comments or suggestions from you!

Thank you, and I hope you like it.

[Phynius Gauge]

Thanks Michael :). I cleaned the picture up a lot, and worked on some details. About 4 hours at this point (I don't know if this is considered a speed painting any longer, but I hope it's OK).

http://img56.exs.cx/img56/7456/TreePainting13.jpg

BTW, do any of you mind letting me in on the secret to the nice grass you guys are producing? ;)

[David Ciprian]

No secret. PhotoShop has 2 predefined brushes. If you make strokes of gras with variation in colour you'll get a nice effect. For advanced effects I can't help, maybe a pro will drop a line or two about the process.

[blaine_t]

Hey everyone. This will be my first post on this message board, but I've visited fairly often. I did this quick sketch last night and this morning, in just about and hour and a half. I'd like to know what you think, please don't hold anything back! Thanks!

http://img87.exs.cx/img87/5651/LightBreeze1hour30.jpg

[David Ciprian]

Welcome

The image looks very good, but the left side of the painting and the right side have different mood and weather. I like more the right side. Also the clouds (in the left side is more obvious) might be too bright

[ROB]

I thought I'd go with the tree on the left too! Hope you like my entry :D
Thanks To Dave C and Michael for your suggestions.

blaine_t - I really like the movment in your piece, its Brilliant!

[Chokin Hazard™]

Hey ROB
that looks nice.
But I think you need to add more "mood" to the scene. You should make the scene foggy. It would make the painting look 10X better.

Cheers

[Undertow]

i really like most of the scenes and heres another try of mine, it has a little more than a hint of evil :)

[Michael]

blaine - I reaaly like it :) great work, I love the mood and the impression of movement. :)

ROB - Yeah, pretty good. I would add more contrasts to the leaves, to give the branches more shape, but it's good.

Undertow - ... I would really erase the hanging guy... :p ;) You're getting better. :D

[Undertow]

thanx michael, i put him there to distract attention from the crappy background.....:roll:

[Brownboot]

First go at a speed painting contest, and first post here at threedy. Regardless, here is my submission;

Brownboot's Painting (http://www.allenwhite.com/tree1.jpg)

Its not my best, but It was the best I could do last night in an hour and a half or so... I'm not so pleased with the tree, if I'd wanted to spend ages on it I would have freehanded the bark, but I think it turned out ok, considering the "speed" requirement.

And, I mirrored mine just so the tree wouldn't be on the left :P. I think everyone draws focal points opposite their drawing hand, which would result in a great number of people with trees on the left as compared to the right. Subconciously wieghtier pieces on the left don't seem as heavy as they would on the right (usually the artists strong hand)...

That is my theory, on the blatant molestation of the left sides of our paintings by many a tree throughout this competition.

[edit] Done in PSP8...

[smallpiece]

...Some really great pics here so far guys, and so early on too...good work.:)
This is mine that i did in PS, took me about 4 hours.

[Dragan]

I cant seem to get good looking sun rays, can anybody help me out? Do you use line tool and make each one or some other way? Thank you!

[LittleFish]

must...(gasp) post...(gasp) can't help it...
*hangs head and begins*

all the trees are now on the right and they all use the lava/fire combination (with the exception of a couple), all the grass is the same and the sky and the general atmosphere - you cannot harvest your potential artistic creativity unless you can hold the scene you want to achieve in your mind's eye - it must come from your mind to be the best it can. you guys are doing really well though.

edit: thank you though wampyr for the great inspiration of so many forum members.

(I almost hate to admit it, but I was actually pretty glad when wampyr's came up because that is what was originally in my mind's eye, but then no longer because then it was realized.)

THREEDY STAFF: (please) Always put the Speed Challenge links on the front page - it attracts so many more talented artists who contribute a great deal to each competition.

[smallpiece]

...I struggle with this myself:roll: The way i do it is to add a layer, fill it with your chosen colour on low opacity, then use long strokes with the eraser tool leaving you with your rays.
Its a bit scrappy but it works for me....but there's bound to be some more practical, and effective ways of doing it..:)

[Dragan]

Well, I think that this is my final drawing, unless someone will help me out by hinting how to do Sun Rays. I see that everyone's drawings are awsome and its a very good competition! Feel Free to judge, comment, or flame my drawing but w/ explanations so I will be able to fix things :D

Edit: My final work. Time 3 hours, used Photoshop 7. Tried :D

[Undertow]

not that my way looks great but i choose a soft brush and change the colour to white with maybe a hint of yellow then put the opacity down to 6% or so. then change the brush sizes around from large to very small drawing the lines where u want them depending on the effect u wish to create.

To draw the lines i place a dot where u want the ray to start then go where u want the line to finish and hold down shift and press another dot and it will draw a straight line.

After going over with all different sizes i'm sure u could make it look better than mine up there ^^^^^^ This is all done in photoshop.

and i'm sure theres a better way but thats my method, goodluck.

[Dragan]

Oh, thanks a lot!

[CHK]

Hi guys! I've been through the thread , seen many good stuffs and it made me willing to try it since it's also a good training. So this is my painting done in 50 mns.

[David Ciprian]

That's great! I love the colors

[Phynius Gauge]

Thanks for the tip David. I spent another 40 minutes on it:

http://img54.exs.cx/img54/6438/TreePainting15.jpg

BTW, excuse the floating flower, I'll fix that next time :).

[David Ciprian]

I really like the foggy background. The only thing bothering (and I hope you'll work on it) is the blury tree's corona ( is that the right word?!)

[Phynius Gauge]

I'm glad you like it, although I'm not sure what you mean by corona:???: Yours is nice as well. I think you did the best job of conveying "the evil." :)

[DBJ]

About 30 minutes in photoshop. Did a little color adjustment at the end to make it more moody and less cartoonish. Had fun with this one.

I mean the whole part of the tree that's composed by leafes...where's a dictionary when I need one?!
Thanks, I hope for another (and better) version after seeing how many great entryes you guys posted.

Good work everyone thus far! Keep going!

[lhz]

:D Hi everyone, like some people i´ve been reading this since ever and I decide to participate. Here´s the painting - Done in PS in about an hour or so... I tried to get the perspective of the evil thing...

[smallpiece]

..Took a different approch to this one, hope you can see where i'm comin from......the evil spilling from the roots into the puddle.
Its abit sketchy but i kinda like it.:)
took about an hour in PS

[TheOne]

Heya! Here's my entry. :)
I know it could use some more work, but... I don't have the time, sadly.

[David Ciprian]

hmmm..how to put this nicely?...




I FREAKING HATE YOU! EVEN IF YOU'RE THE ONE! *bang* *blam*...crap, now you made me kill my mouse!

[Smack Monkey]

Is there a time limit for these speed painting challeneges? Or is considered speed painting if you get it done in under a week?

[TheOne]

I FREAKING HATE YOU! EVEN IF YOU'RE THE ONE! *bang* *blam*...crap, now you made me kill my mouse!


Sorry, I did not meant to bug you! :eek: ;)

It's Painter, combined with PSP. Use of PSP brushes helped me on the tree and on the grass. :)

[David Ciprian]

You DO know that I was jokin'...right?

How'd you learnt to do the colouring like that?

[TheOne]

Sure! :D ;)

Uhm... I am all self-tought. I just have an idea of how the scene could look. Then I think about how colors fit in this scene and how they affect the mood of the scene... then I start painting. After a while I adjust the Hue, so that the colors fit my imagination. :)

Actually it's easy... Avatar said I got a great feeling for colors. :o

[David Ciprian]

You do have a great feeling for colours, cause I use the (almost) same tehnique (or whatever) and I get s**t instead of something that looks like half as bad as your painting

[Smack Monkey]

More fun with Photoshop.
Comments welcomed

[CHK]

Really nice texture you got Smack Monkey! I love it! How long did that take you?

[Smack Monkey]

Thanks,
It took me about 2 hours. I was going for kind of a low angle thing but my foreshortening didn't work out at all.
Maybe on the next one.

[CHK]

Ok guys! Check this one out! I opted for a fake duotone aspect. How do you like it? Add in 27 mns of extra work....

[Undertow]

I also love ure inscriptions or whatever it is smack monkey. and CHK, ure extra work looks good

Heres another try of mine

[Undertow]

wrong one...thats another version of the other and heres my other attempt... bout an 1hr 30min

[lhz]

forgot to attach... here´s mine....

[CHK]

Ihz: I live you "impressionist" brush look. Is that PS or Painter?

[Michael]

WOW, guys, some great works are here! :D There are some heated emotions here also, some passion, some mouse killing... :p ;)

Seriously - great job, guys. But the opera is not over, still the fat lady sings. So KEEP POSTING! :D

Hey chokin_hazard,
I wanted to stick to the description so I dont think I will be putting fog in.
I did make changes to the leaves though.

[Androgs]

WOW!! some good work here:). I think this challenge is the most crowded one since the very first challenge, KEEP IT UP ALL:D!!.
Ok, here's my entry, all done in photoshop. like the previous challenge, I really enjoy doing this because its really give a benefit in learning. hope you all like it anyway:o , if there's a crit just say it.

Good luck to the other entries.:)

[Dymitr]

Ok. This is my work
Time to finish, was about 15 min.
Software was ArtRage 1.1

[lhz]

CHK - :cool: Thanks!!!That´s PS... about an hour or so....

Androgs: :D Great work dude!!! - that one REALLY sticks to the description of the mood! How long did it take?

[Androgs]

lhz, really:o?Thanks for your kind word:). about the time, its a shame that I failed to did this one with only one or two hour. it took me 3 day to finished this image, but each day I used 2 - 3 hour in making this one.:roll: hmmm..yeah, I know its too long for speed paint, but oh well, I really count the quality for each challenge, so :o I have to learn so much to produce such a great work with short amount of time, and this challenge..I believe will shape us better:) .

[TheOne]

Yea, Androgs you are very good at this. I think we got a winner here... :)

[3dmonkey]

This speed painting challenge is right down my alley.....i love drawing trees. Let me know what you think. Photoshop about 2 hours

There are some really awesome paintings this round.

I'm a brand new member to this site, and I just registered so I could submit this picture. I hope you like it.

[Michael]

Welcome ALL new members! I'm really glad you joined us for this competition! :D

3dmonkey - I really like the way you painted the tree. :) Nice effect.

elvenartist - Good one, I like depth of field blur you added. :)

[victim335]

Who knows? Maybe I? :)

color version looks like crap to me

http://www.yourimagehost.com/is.php?i=18937&img=victim335tree.jpg

but sketch is pretty nice

http://www.yourimagehost.com/is.php?i=18938&img=victim335treesketch.JPG

[LittleFish]

and here's mine. I went for a look, not sure what, but oh well. The clouds were great fun to do but only took about 5 minutes with that one brush, default size 36, a few down from the leaves. Yes, I know the trunk doesn't look that old, but the branch does, so it makes up for it. Besides, apart from the evil in the roots thing, the tree is very healthy. yeah... okay, here we go.

edit: oh yeah, it took me about 3 hours, maybe a little more.

edit: also sorry for the outline on the left side of the trunk. If it's good enough for the gallery, I will repaint that (not too damaging - I have 6 layers for this composition) so it has the light and not the outline. (explanation: I draw outlines first and then fill them in. That's just how I draw, because I haven't yet learned to grasp the shape of an object with just fill. With more practice I should be better at it.)

Voting will be hard work here... so many entries.

To all the other guys "good job". I'm sorry because i haven't time for this Challenge and do only one paint in few time. I hope to can working mutch more for the other competitions ^_^

Congratz to TheOne and Tuscoman for theyr illustration.

Kiss to all from Italy :P
Palantir

[LittleFish]

just looking back through... (my observations)

SmackMonkey had 3 paintings - I wouldn't consider any of the compositions that perfect by itself, but the second one was pretty good, and all 3 had excellent texturing of the bark. edit: especially the third one, loved the bark. If you had gotten the appropriate lighting like in the second one into the third painting and put that same focus into it, it would have been right up there, a strong contender.

[CHK]

1 Androg (Very nice composition! And so much details. I've read once "Details will always make your painting better").

2 3Dmonkey (Really like the medium you have used. Kind of water color...It gives so much effects.)

3 BlaineT (I just love the right mix of bright colors. I could feel the peace, the calm and the breeze...but where's the evil?)

There was so much good entries. It was quite difficult for me to choose and I think also for everyone else. So much different styles, impressions and techniques. Thanks to all! It has been very fruitfull for each of us...

[lhz]

1 - Androgs
2 - CHK
3 - Blaine_T

can´t wait to next challenge! Great work people - hope to learn a lot more from you!

seeya:cool:

[ROB]

My Votes:

1st 'Blaine_t'- good overall mood and movement, nicely subtle hint of evil. A very nice piece within the bounds of the description.

2nd 'toscoman'- very nice visual effect and good impression

3rd 'ilan747'- nice take on the evil, good grass, I prefer the first version.


also worth mentioning:
palantir - for cool sky
sidex - dreamy feel
victim335 - outstanding illustrational sketch
TheOne - interesting sky effect
Androgs - good all-round (I think the form of the leaves on the main tree needs fixing)
CHK - good fuzzy moss (the blood looks out of place, too vibrant)


Well done all, better luck next time round!

[Androgs]

Ok, here's mine:)

1-Blaine-t...page3,good pic all round, could have done with being a bit darker to add to mood.
2-Brownboot...page4,liked the colour and the feel of the pic.
3-Elvenartist...page7, the leaves need a bit of work but i love the way it looks like you could be creeping up on the tree through the tall grass..

...Welldone everybody:) ....

Thank you to everyone for the feedback especialy Little Fish, some good stuff there that I will keep in mind going into the next challenge. My choices are:

1.Small piece
2.3D monkey (power to the primates brother:))
3.David Ciprian

Good work everybody it was hard to choose.

[Phynius Gauge]

Nice work from everyone. My favorites:

1. Androgs
2. CHK
3. The One

I didn't get a chance to finish mine, probably because I got food poisoning (everyone boycott Baja Fresh :grr: ). But I'll join the next few, because I need to hone my painting skills (or lack thereof :)).

[Sonic-X]

nice work every one. interesting to see who wins.

whens the next challenge, i need to learn to paint and this
is defenitly the best place for that, now i just need to find a
speed chalenge for spelling.

Speaking of the next challenge.... I think I´m too anxious, :p but what´s the deal here? Is it like the 3d Speed Challenges? Or it´s when Michael decides to post another challenge without a regular schedule? My tablet is on fire:D ! And I keep checking this thread like a million times a day.... :crazy:

Ok... I have to go to my yoga class now.... seeya :p

[Brownboot]

Yes, I got a vote!

1: blaine_t [its like an allegra add, "Look at all the POLLEN!" brilliant pollen though...]
2: Androgs [for the best tree which has recently acquired a body]
3: CHK [I liked the leaves on your tree best]

[Sonic-X]

lhz i'm also cheking every five minutes but it seems it can take days before the next challange.Most probly sunday now.
The speed modeling challange is like clockwork.

[Michael]

Hmmm... it's not a clockwork indeed. But i don't really understand why do you think I will post whenever I feel like it :roll: The challenges ALWAYS start bi-weekly on Sundays... You would know it, if you read previos challenges. :P ;) So what are you guys talking about? :P ;)

OK, a little late - I should have post it on Wendesday, but I have TONS of work.
