SPEEDPAINTING CHALLENGE nr.34 -

[Michael]

First of all - sorry for the delay - I'm still sleeping off the journey back and the lack of sleep there.... but I'm back. Yay, huh? :p :dance:

Now - the topic. You are to portray the wind. It's NOT the STORM, it's not so violent. I won't give any directions and hints for that, be as creative as it gets.

RULES ARE HERE (http://forums.3dtotal.com/showthread.php?t=24525)

The deadline is ON THURSDAY NEXT WEEK.

Have fun! :dance:

[Icefreak]

Ok. Let's wind it up!

[LeSria]

I'm new at painting but I still wanted to join in the challenge for fun :P



So here it is Wacom Tablet in Painter 9

[Undertow]

nice entry lesia.

Photoshop cs with mouse about 2hrs if i had to guess, hope it represents wind somehow :hmm:

sorry its so small and low quality but the size wouldn;t compress very well (30% of actual size)

[LeSria]

Well thank you, yours is very nice, especially considering it's done with a mouse, I could not make that with my tablet let alone a mouse :P

And Tool is my favorite band so I give it and you two thumbs up ;O

[fish]

[LeSria]

Artecnl - I especially like the trunk of your tree! :P it's very nice

Here is another one I did just for practice, im not really so much entering as just using the topic for practice because I always have such a hard time thinking up my own ideas :P


Done in Artrage and its supposed to be waves blown by the wind to make them less calm :P

[Termoula]

Hello :D

Thats my first post..

Because i'm not so good with PCs as you all are i paint something by hand :crazy:
So far you have done all of you really good works in all threats and like the way you "draw" some words :drool:

I will make better ones by the time :wall: I promise

PCs hate me and i hate em too!

[qwed88]

Haha, wind haha, thats funny

[Pedro Toledo]

Nice paintings guys :)

Here is mine, about 25 minutes, Painter/wacom.

[Orkron]

Did this from the Photoshop 7 Classroom in a Book tutorial.

[Orkron]

wow, I've never killed a thread b4...that's kinda funny

[Michael]

Okron - you didn't kill the thread. Your post is pretty cool, but I would add a bit more leaves to it. It would make it less static.

Pedro - great entry :D I really like it! Subtle, gentle... I would add waving ribbons to the rope. :)

artecnl, Underow - nice entries. I see that PS leaf brush is in use quite a lot :D

LeSria - a bit chaotic, but pretty cool. I would add more mixed colours to it, play a bit with the sky maybe :)


Come on, guys, still 4 days to go, don't let Okron think that he killed the thread.

[artecnl]

hi guys this is my last work, did in 2 hours and a half, is about wind and plastic bags, i did it first with pencil and then i scan it to put some color in ps.
hope you like it,
Orkron, that's very nice :D Pedro, i like a lot your style :) nice.
LeSria nice sea :D
cheers.

[bIOHZRd]

Here's my entry. Got inspired by some windmill photographs. Maybe I'll do another one soon, artech gave me an idea with the plastic bag :) Good job everyone so far. Keep the entries coming!

[bIOHZRd]

artech : I really like the lighting in your picture. There seems to be a lot of life to the scene. Good job

[artecnl]

thanks BioHZrd nice paint too bud :D i hope you post more paints :)

[betasoft]

[Pedro Toledo]

Thanks Michael and artecnl.

I really liked your style artecnl, has a nice children's book feeling.

Nice work everybody :)

[waheed nasir]

nice posts...great going... :). i think its a good topic and uve all done a nice job with all these painterly images. :).

Pedro Toledo..i like your work. i like the look of it, the softness and the way uve achived that smooth effect. nice treatment. i wouldve added a kite (bring that inside the frame, u know),i might. buts that just my personal opinion... :). artecnl (last post), nice colors.

good work everyone.

[araki]

Hi everybody. This is my first post here. I made this in Painter 7 (40 minutes).
Hope you like it.

BEst regards to all.

Ricardo Araki

[BuffDady81]

Ok heres mine - took about 20 - 25 mins in photoshop using a tablet. Tried to show the wind mostly through the position of the character! ;P

[waheed nasir]

hi BuffDady81..i like it. it goes with the topic. the moving of things in opposite directions coveys the message very well... :).

[artecnl]

betasoft.-nice i like the textures and the style
araki- nice first post :)
Buffdady81- i like it, it visually strong :) nice

[Alcron]

I forgot this challenge was still going on this week. I painted this a couple days ago because I just felt like painting. Acrylic on smooth Bristol board <1hr. Only levels and curves adjusted in photoshop for contrast and 'pop'.

[visuelle]

hello there!
had a lot of work to. there was no time to participate in any challenges! :ugh:
first things first: THANKS for voting me second(batmobile-challenge)!!! :D
trying to avoid an actual design was a lot of fun.
(to the moderators: thanks for accepting that!)
congrats to mim!
(by the way: your photos at the modelling challenge rock! someone should do an animation with them!)

here is my go at the topic:

sun glittering in the water. a palm tree swaying in a gentle breeze.
clouds drift by... time stands still...

[visuelle]

i forgot to mention this:

done in photoshop.
nearly 2 hours of work with a wacom graphire.

[Pedro Toledo]
