SPEEDPAINTING CHALLENGE nr.37 - New York A.D. 3006

[Michael]

Hello folks!

This week's painting topic will be to paint New York, that is set in 3006 year ( A.D. - Anno Domini - it's latin "the year of Lord", if someone didn't know :p ). You can use reference for it, you can make up totally from the beginning. I would reference on the Ryan Church's works ;) He's got really nice hi-tech style.

Be creative, have fun!

Voting starts on 8th of January 2006 - Sunday - so you have two weeks to paint it.

[Masumix]

just a quick newbie question.. tottally irrelavent of course buuuut... is ther there difference in the numbering system between ?"nr" and "no"? I just wondered why there is two #36...thats all.... oh well off to paint!! woot woot.

[Michael]

A mistake, corrected.

[alidanesh]

seems really hard...it has every thing in it..enviroment..hightech vehicle .....:D...hope luck for all U guys

[Michael]

You don't have to put vehicles in it really, it's just hi tech architecture challenge.... but judging from your reactuion I think there won't be many participants in it :p... as always, when I make up the topic.... ;) :p

[artecnl]

[waheed nasir]

[Masumix]

:applaus: to artecnl! I blockin some stuff and then sat there staring at it for two hours and got nothing :weep: so its not a speed painting anymore! Lol, NEXT!

[-t3d-]

Hope you all had a good christmas.
Well i must of been a good girl this year, coz santa gave me my new tablet :smug: . All i got to do now is learn how to use it properly.

Anyway here is my very first attempt at using it. Who knows how things will look in a thousand years. This is how i see it, pretty grim

took about 3hours in corel painter essentials 2 using the wacom.

Happy New Year To You All :wave:

[Masumix]

Some things change, somethings dont :lame:

Hello all! I've never done a speed painting challenge before, but I really like this topic and I am on vacation :) I've been looking over the paintings for awhile and I do the SMC all the time, so I think I'll give it a try this time.
One question: Can it be any version of NYC in 3006, or does it have to have futuristic achitecture? I'd like to do a more pessimistic version, if thats okay...

[lone deranger]

well, i accidentally posted this in the wrong forum then realised and deleted it :)

cant be bothered typing much explanation again, so my picture will basically have to speak for itself

i guess you'll either like where i went with this or you'll think its just scribble :)... im personally quite happy with the look, although i think the composition is a little hard on the viewer- no real focal point, your eye just skims around crazily- but i suppose thats just a part of it


"the sun rises over the polluted and devastated nyc of tomorrow" (about 3 hours in Photoshop 7 with Wacom tablet)

[artecnl]

hi guys, i hope youre have a good new year, well this is my second entry, i try to put more effort on it, first i draw in a paper with pencils, and i took 3 hours to do the perspective and buildings all the lines, then i scan it and i color it in ps7 and i took another 3 hours, around 6 hours, i hope you like it
i think not so many things gonna change on 3006, i put some flying cars, and a modern train in this city youc can go to all buildings in this train about, and of course space travels are available, with a space needle, an elevator to the outer space, well this is my explanation, :D
i hope all you guys have a good day and a good new year

cheers :) :haha:

[Michael]

RockstarKate 0- it can be any version of NYC set in the future. I was thinking of purely hi-tech architecture, but you can make it more devastated etc. Whatever you like :)

Nice posts guys.
Artecnl - nice perspective, interesting lens effect.

lone deranger - it has something in it for sure :) liquify tool is a nice thing to use, when you're going into an abstract piece. Cool. :D

Masumix - I really like the guys in the front. You could work the perspective more, to make it more convincing. Nice entry.

-t3d- - interesting idea, I saw similiar in "FInal Fantasy" ;) I'd add a bit more shading to it, to accent the roundness of the copules.

Hi to every one, happy new year to all, this is my entry is done in ps 7, in like 2 or 3 hours, i´m really not sure. well this is all bye :wave:

[jayjayk89]

Well, heres whats left of it... :dunno: ...
Done in Photoshop CS2 in 56 minutes and 28 seconds...Well, A lot of it i was chatting at the same time too...so...lol...I got a virtual stopwatch thing...so cool...lol...

[Brownboot]

Cool idea... I hope I get mine done in time its looking good.
----

Edit:

Done. Took just shy of two hours mostly cause I scrapped the first go at the big building in the center. Done in photoshop CS1.

http://allenwhite.com/cavenewyrokfinal.jpg

The idea is, during a nuclear holocaust the city goes underground expanding its subway system into a functioning underground city built inside huge manmade caverns. They have suspended giant ultraviolet lights on the cielings that move along tracks to simulate something resembling a day/night cycle although its hardly a replacement for the sun...

[Stone]

Hey guys, didnt find any "help thread" here so Im just gonna put it hear since this is the place Im at most. =)

Cant remember my password to my "Chubbs" account... think I registered this and chubbs acc in my only mailadress so when I pushed "forgot my pass" button I got the password for this old account... anyone admin who can send my password to my mail?

Cheers (Im in australia now btw, thats why I dont post so often =))
