Hey All,

I'm really looking forward to seeing evereyone's works for this challenge. I think it's going to be a good one. :)

Hope you like :)

[-t3d-]

While im thinking of what to paint, i couldn't resist on playing with some pics....thinking on what you were saying Dereksc..(dragon in futuristic land scape playing a guitar)..ive had this thought in my mind since....... :haha:

Oh well must get back to trying to deside to what to paint.

Cracker lips: great start

[Hilm]

I couldn't resist on playing with some pics....thinking on what you were saying Dereksc..(dragon in futuristic land scape playing a guitar)

[mim]

While im thinking of what to paint, i couldn't resist on playing with some pics....thinking on what you were saying Dereksc..(dragon in futuristic land scape playing a guitar)..ive had this thought in my mind since:haha: a dragon playing a guitar in a locomotive goes to a futuristic landscape speedly! :D

hey cracker you wouldn't stop winnig?! :D ok, then we try it! :D ;) :wave:

[ximahmoud]

well done crackerlips...great start .. i hope to see another one soon.. with this rate you can post a lot of work ;).. keep your hand moving.. don stop

[DerekSc]

Hahaha! Love it t3d! That's awesome! You should send it to a heavy metal band, I'm sure they'd use it as a cover.
:D

[stephendm]

-t3d-: Nicely done :) I actually have that guitar (but the dragon looks nothing like me ;))
Also thanks for the comment - glad you like it :)

Mim: I'll see what I can do (but no promises :D) ;) ....also the voting hasn't ended on the last challenge yet so anything could happen :)

Thanks ximahmoud :) Looking forward to some of your work in this challenge. I really like the topic and would hope to get another one or more done!
It will hurt if I keep my hand moving ;) I'm left-handed and find it quite sore using my tablet without breaks. Man I would give my left arm for a Wacom Cintiq :D ;) :)

Cheers!

[Hilm]

Man I would give my left arm for a Wacom Cintiq :D ;) :)


lol yeah i'm in the process of nagging my dad for one lol :-P (i'm forefitting the rest of my lifes worth of christmases and birthdays lol)
*dreams

btw the new cintiq is amazing lol i mean pen tilt, 1024 pressure... like 1024 resolution on the pressure sensor thing...

[stephendm]

lol yeah i'm in the process of nagging my dad for one lol :-P (i'm forefitting the rest of my lifes worth of christmases and birthdays lol)

It's quite possibly the coolest thing I've ever seen - I wannit, I wannit! ;) :)

[stephendm]

Cheers ximahmoud :)
Congratulations on coming fourth on your first post - well done, my friend :) Hope to see many more to come from you too.

[artecnl]

hi everyone, nice entryes so far, crackerlips, thats a nice one, a lot of detail., vidshank, nice, i like the last one,
here is mine, about 4 hours on ps7 and a graphire4 tablet, a little bit inspired by Ryan CHurch, hope you like it
:)

[vidshank]

gud wrk artecnl...Like the persp...and i somehow feel u have given more detail to the background than the foreground!! Nice wrk once again

[JHarford]

Nice work so far guys, good luck with this challenge.
IMO 5+ hours doesn't really constitute a fast painting. I wonder whether this time we should all be aiming for a little more speed.
Can't wait for more :)

[Socrattes]

Done in PS cs 2 with a wacom tablet.
20 min
Sketch done in the school :lame:

[mim]

Hi all! Great works again in first days of challenge, you’re awesome on work guys! x)
artecnl n cracker works are my favorites so far, I like vidshank #20 also so, and very welcome to Socrattes ;)

hey Derek I need your permission to continue working of one of my sketches! (http://forums.3dtotal.com/showthread.php?p=447983#post447983) Cause I inspired by your idea in pre challenge (a dragon playing a guitar) (http://forums.3dtotal.com/showpost.php?p=447306&postcount=112) then I just add it in a futuristic landscape! (http://forums.3dtotal.com/showpost.php?p=447337&postcount=113) I think I can’t work on your idea before your permission! so please give me it man! :)

thanks, cya, mim :max:

[artecnl]

thanks vidshank and mim, its very nice your sketch with the dragon :)

[stephendm]

Vidshank: I really like where your second picture was going there. Very nice style - will you be working on this one to enter or starting a new one from scratch cos I would love to see that one finished!?

Artecnl: Thanks for the comment. Your picture is pretty excellent. The perspective, scale and colours are all very good. It didn't take you too long to get into the swing of your shiny new tablet clearly :) Nice one dude!

Socrattes: You are very welcome :) :D Your picture is good..... but I feel lacking a bit in perspective somewhat (maybe add more shading would help?) At the same time, not too bad for 20 minutes :) Well done

Mim: Very interesting and comical sketch - looking forward to the finished piece. Thanks for your comment also :)

[DerekSc]

mim you're crazy, man! Hahaha, that looks great, keep going with it!
You have my full permission as long as we get to see the final picture. :D

[artecnl]

thanks Crackerlips, yes i find easier to draw with the tablet, :) i have a lot of fun :P

Welcome back BuffDady81 :). Really nice job with your painting - So colourful and bright. Very good composition and detail.

Hey Al3x: Welcome :) Looking forward to seeing your work (if your painting skills are anything like your 3d modelling skills
we shoud be in for a treat :))

Rusted: Another excellent painting in this challenge. Amazing detail, colour & technique. I really like it a lot. :)


So here's my second painting for this challenge. This has taken me the longest out of any of my paintings so far (about 8hrs in Photoshop with Active XP-Pen Tablet and reference). Once I get going, I just can't seem to stop :) but is still within the time in the rules ;)
Hope you like anyways:

Rusted another greate work :) I like details n coloring n also sense of motion on it
vidshank, the concept of huge robo buildings! is good ;)

[Asya]

hi,it is me again:)

very nice ones crackerlips!

here is my picture.originally painted for the previous
challenge(trains,locomotives) but since i didn't manage to upload
it at the right time,i will do this now:)i think it fits in this challenge too.

painting time about 4,5 hours without a reference

[ximahmoud]

danke sehr for the information and very nice work there asya..and it's not too late to work on other one..

[al3x]

nope my drawing skills r not even close to my modeling ones coess I havent done drawing in photoshop like artistc drawings anyway ...
this is my first drawing ever ;) :halo: ....waiting comments .. :roll:

[mim]

hey Asya your train is grate :D I like the way it wok! ;) n your landscape even more ;) your city is first one that is more near to real world :) congrats :D hope to see more frome you ;)

al3x :D your simple style is funny but the topic is futuristic landscape man! I think you must work on city more cause I can't see it easy, anyway it is funny :) lol

[al3x]

k ive got it the next one will be a landskape :D

[waheed nasir]

good posts...:). this is going to be fun im sure.

asya...thats nice...yes it surely fits...:).

al3x...looks good but its not according to the given topic, which is Futuristic Landscape. u can view other posts to get an idea. a lot of time for u to share another one...:). i hope to see that al3x.

all the best to everyone...:).

[stephendm]

Milan: Thanks for the comment :) Looking forward to a pic from you in this challenge.

Vidshank: Not to worry that you aren't doing any more with your other pic, though I liked it very much, but your newest one is very good also :) Most interesting design, concept and choice of colours. I was just looking at it again there and spotted the tiny house on the bottom right :D Very funny :) The six Robo-Buildings (as Mim calls them ;)) are absolutely ENORMOUS in comparison. Well done. Thanks for your kind words also. Glad you like :)

Mim & Asya: Thanks to you both too for your nice comments :)

Asya: I love your picture and it fits in perfectly with this challenge :) The train/locomotive is very nicely rendered (so shiny...I like the front of it the best with the nose & fan part). The buildings are really good also....there's a lot to look at and all so bright. Hope to see more from you :)

Al3x: Very good for a first attempt (despite it not quite being a futuristic Landscape ;)) One small suggestion though.....try lowering the brush width for outlines and the likes (unless thats the look your going for, of course ;)). I quite like the watercolour look effect on the buildings but as mentioned, they're very hard to see. Hope you get another done for us to see :)

[Rusted]

Thank You MIM... After all Everyone is Doing Gr8.....

[Rusted]

thanx crackerlips i love your last entry....... So cool

[Asya]

ximahmoud

[al3x]

[vidshank]

Crackerlips: thanx for ur valuable comments..glad u noticed all the details...hop i have time to produce some more ....lets see

Asya: u gotta nice starter there....i like tht color pattern in ur train...kinda reminds me of the retro refregrators....need lil more wrk with the enivronment...!!

Rusted: bro tht is a neat illustration...one thing thts quiet outta plce is the perspective...esp on the space ship...gud play with the colors and the motion blur...keep em cuming

[BuffDady81]

Great Work Everyone... Thanks for the comments! Some really nice works and a good range of concepts and layouts.

Heres another one - quick sketch, no longer than 20 mins in photoshop with my wacom.

[Warin-3DT]

I like the colour and style Buffdaddy, is the sky too simple?

Warin

[BuffDady81]

I like the colour and style Buffdaddy, is the sky too simple?

Warin

Possibly - But it was a real quick sketch, if a more complex sky was added though it may take away from the foreground which is the main focus for the piece. I prefer my first entry, but its ok!

[Rico]

hi there,
due to this nice topic and a bit of some free time i decided to join this challenge, so here's my entry.

/edit: the big fat building is supposed to be some kind of atmosphere converter, otherwise life would be impossible there :)

ps 7.0; 7,5 h; wacom tablet; no reference

[BuffDady81]

Rico - Oooooooh! Very nice. Like the lighting and the sense of perspective. Personally I think it would look better without the sky - just seems like two seperate images, and I think the bottom bit looks best viewed by itself - Great work though!

[Rico]

thx alot buffdady, you pointed out what i suspected, thus i updated my pic. indeed the sky didn't fit somehow, and although there's too much black in it right now, i will keep it as it is. glad u like it, thx for ur comment.

[Rusted]

VIDSHANK: Actually the Ship is turning to go into the Enterance (Without the Knowledge of perspective this illustration wasn't possible) Besides your Entries are great....
BUFFDADY81: Really nice imagination, Should hve made some Aeroplanes because it's hard to get to that place...(Just kidding)
RICO: Every thing is nice, neat and clean... but Buffdady81 is right about sky...I think!

Well keep coming Guy Post more I am About to post my second one it's under finishing hehehe

[Rico]

Rusted: i will keep the sky as it is right now, mostly in black only cut by that ray of light. i feel that something is missing, so i have some ideas but for now it's ok like that. i'm curious about your second entry, i think your first one is pretty cool.

btw BuffDady: your last entry looks very interesting, nice atmosphere, maybe u want to work a bit an that scene? i would love it


finally i was in the mood, thus i sketched a quick one just for fun.
ps7;50mins,wacom,no reference

[ximahmoud]

nice idea there rico keep it going guys

[Technographer]

Hey there, I'm new to speed painting. I really like what I'm seeing from others! Good luck to everyone! ( Hope I attached this right. )

Photoshop 7, Graphire 3 4x5, 1 hour 58 minutes

Edit: Sorry for the wideness, I can resize if it's a problem.

[visuelle]

hi everybody!

long time no see! i moved to the us recently... no time for speedpaintings... : (
but this one? futuristic landscape? come on, you just gotta do that!

so here it is. really a quick one. 20 min. in photoshop.

[vidshank]

Technographer nice rendering u got there...the mood is absolute... however i feel the center pillar of the bridge(the one right after the tower thingie!!)has to be a lil longer in perspective

keep em cuming

[ximahmoud]

nice work technographer...try to give it a little blue scheme.. darker or lighter.. or may be some orangeif you want it to be a sand storm.. coz it looks like a sand storm not a mist.. try it and let me know

[Technographer]

however i feel the center pillar of the bridge(the one right after the tower thingie!!)has to be a lil longer in perspective
Whoops - I think you're right; not sure how I let that slip.

visuelle - Great dreamy feel in that; I really like the subtle pastel colors.

[BuffDady81]

Technographer - if your new to speedpainting then heaven help us when youve got a few weeks behind you - lol - Really nice image, good perspective. And i like the touch of adding the jet...

Visuelle - Nice quick sketch, good atmosphere!

[stephendm]

Hey all,

You're all probably sick of me and my big list of comments as usual after I haven't visited in a while but you're just gonna have to live with it, I'm afraid ;) :D :) It's kinda the point at the end of the day though isn't it?

Buffdady81 (Post#54): Very nice indeed for such a quick sketch. There's a lot going on there....in the city especially - I like many styles, but in particular, sloppy sketches that leave a lot open for the viewer to decide what's going on. Good job mate.

Rico (Post#57): Hey Rico, welcome! Superb picture. I actually quite like the sky as well as the rest, which is excellent, but a small bit more detail would help as the top and bottom look to be two different styles and contrast! Even continuing the hazey bubble of light a bit higher would probably do it methinks. You've probably already sorted it from what I read! ;) You mightn't have noticed but your pic is remarkably similar to my second entry :) It's amazing how the theme projects similar images on our minds. :)
(Post#61): Very nice monotone image. As I said to Buffdady, I really like sketched paintings that leave a lot to the viewer's imagination. I hope you'll stick around for future challenges....I like your style very much :)

Technographer: Despite the very slight slip up with the bridge support lengths, I think your pic is class :) I especially like the Mig and its thrust interaction with the water. Only thing though as Ximahmoud says, I might layer it with some additional colour...some deep oranges would look well I feel. Stunning work all the same. :)

Visuelle: I've never had the pleasure to see your work before.....nice to see! It's a shame you haven't the time to join in every challenge. Good luck in the Mericas anyway :) Very nice picture - your solid technique gives the feeling of motion and I really love the pastel colours.

Nice one everyone so far :) Hope to see plenty more.

[arkantos_cg]

hi friends...

this is my first post to this kind of challenges... i found it a good chance to practice digital painting. here is my paint. i did it in photoshop, 2 hourse without a reference. i hope you like it :shy:

[Rusted]

RICO: I like the Style.....!
Technographer: Atmosphere is coool !
visuelle: hmm see if you can give some time :lurve:

Well... I managed to post my Second Entry Please Checkitout...
Software: PS CS,(mostly lasso ans Pentool)
Hardware: Mouse
http://www.geocities.com/shahan_art/Futuristic_final_L.jpg

Thanx

[Rusted]

arkantos: Welcome, if u'd not hve made buildings in background it'd look Historical-landscape rather than Futuristic, but nice work specially Shadows n sunny-day-like atmosphere.

[waheed nasir]

wonderful entries...i like how everyone has shown a futuristic look in his/her own particular manner, each n every piece is such a fun to look at...:). scale/space is nicely captured in all of them. good work everyone... :wave:.

[Technographer]

I really appreciate the feedback, guys. That support beam is irritating the hell out of me now, though! ;P Hah, but it's all a learning experience.

arkantos_cg - There's some great atmosphere in this; the people are a wonderful addition.

Rusted - I like the lengthened exposure effect, but the streaks seem a bit blurry - if you notice in photographs using the same method, they are very sharp and 'blown-out' bright. A cool concept, none-the-less. :)

[Rico]

great challenge so far, giving individual perspectives of a futuristic landscape/architecture.

technographer: very good entry with only one missing point: contrast. if u manage to keep the eye interested by involving some contrast this turns out to be a No.1 speed painting entry :)

visuelle: interesting image, nicely done in that short amount of time. i like the "speed" in that picture, as it seems there's some kind of race or chase going on. good!

crackerlips: hehe, thinking about a futuristic landscape makes me always think of a diagonally arranged horizontal line. but the similarity to your second image made me wonder as well, cause i hadn't seen it before. btw, nice work your second entry with interesting ideas of exotic, futuristic architecture. your first one is great in giving a feeling of actually be in that scenery, well done.
as i'm new to digital painting, i get more and more addicted to it, so if it's possible, i will try to stick with these challenges, they are great.

arkantos: nice sketch, very clean with interesting colors, different to other entries. i like it!

rusted: thx. nice second entry, i think those red rays are supposed to be "carlights", streched over time as you can always see on photographs that are shut wit a long shutter time (don't know how to say in english). in that case i would delete those rays in the upper half of the image, as they are not easy to understand as "carlights". the lower half looks good. btw, it's not a good choice to blur anything thats far from the camera, especially when u make a wide-angle-shot. everything should be in focus then, so those blurry buildings in the back makes it look ab bit unreal. anyway, good job doing that with a mouse, although i prefer your first entry :)

[arkantos_cg]

hi friends...

thanks Rusted, Technographer and Rico for your comments :) i hope i can do better than this... here is my second entry to this challenge... 3:30 hours without reference...photoshop. i hope you like it :shy:

thanks all :)

[Technographer]

I guess you could call this a sister painting. ;) I would like to use this over my previous submission if that's ok.

Photoshop 7, Graphire 3 4x5, 1 hour 32 minutes, no ref

The bridge support in my previous image was bothering me.

[Rusted]

technographer: thanx for the comments (in my image, year is 2020 and many thing and rules of todays physics have been changed, I didn't give so much details myself, 'cause it'd lose the taste)...and nice second entry, the same Jet I think they are twin sisters (just kidding ;)

Rico: thanx I like your Detailed comments,(it means you have considered the Image,thank you)...Well in the Image, Cars are flying in the air (and cars are Too speedy 'cause they are futuristic)thats why the Upper area is Blurred and those buildings are quit far away from the Location so they are blurred....but Bro actually one thing that you missed noticing is that "The Picture is Taken in MARS, by a Futuristic camera !"..(hehehe) ;)

[Rusted]

Arkantos: Wow what a Koool Atmosphere, you are an Atmosphere artist aren't you?

Technographer: The SunShine looks Great...

[artecnl]

Rusted- very nice images , i like the first spaceship and the second inspired me a little ;)

thanks rico =) I loved your entries and the great use of value while still keeping them semi monochromatic. Excellent technique.
Personally I just kinda recently got into digital painting. I used to do a lot of pencil art some time ago, just for fun. But around 5 months ago I started screwing around with painter and photoshop, and after watching some of the Gnomon analog DVDs, which helped me tremendously, I was hooked =)

Just trying to balance this thread out with some traditional media. Done in about and hour with a soft pencil, correction fluid and bristol board.

Visualle: Nice Efforts... Powerfull shades
Asya: Wow..Well Earth could look worst than that after 1000 years
Wolfganng: Welcome, Rico is right, pretty professional style, two thumbs up man
Nordicdemon: it's nice ...looks deserted, well Idea is good, looks like it's the world after 3rd world war...!

[visuelle]

aaaaand the next one.
i wanted to play with colors and shapes rather than painting
something acurate.
this way the viewer can participate in the painting.
it's not all set and done. i think it's more interesting.

1h in photoshop. 10min with pen on paper.

rico: nice WIP!
(hope the film academy thing works out fine for you)

Waheed, what time does the challenge close tomorrow (server time)?
I'd like to do one tomorrow morning, but it the challenge is going to close before I can post it, I'd rather not attempt it.
Thanks, and great work by everyone so far!

nice work every one .. i was hopeing to join your wonderfull work as i said.. i bought the tablet .. the genius as waheed recommended for me for now.. tell i find the wacom.. but the things didn't work as we planed.. after i plug it and install the driver.. i opened the corel painter.. and what ?? the cursor is not stable .. it's shaking all the time even if i didn't move the stylus atall .. i tried every thing.. different presures.. prush tracking .. nothing hold the cursor from moving.. i closed the painter then opened photoshop.. the same proplem and other problems, it's even shaking while am i opening a folder or choosing a menu or something.. i tried the tablet setting in the control panel.. also nothing .. i didn't know what to do, i became very angry and i almost brake it into pieces but my brother stop me.. after all this waiting it came with a problem .. god i hate that genius... i didn't like it before.. but now i hate it.. any way .. sorry for too much talking and again wonderfull work every one

[waheed nasir]

hi dereksc, from the time of this reply of mine, u have about 8 hours more, just let me know, ill see if i can extend it, but just one day. not more than that. i hope u manage to give us your artwork in that...:).

[waheed nasir]

ximahmoud, i know what u mean and what i know, that this happens due to some electircal disturbance in that particular area, earthing prob. do one thing, just hold the tablet in you left hand and use the pen, see if the cursor stays. coz we at work faced that and just to check, when we did this, the cursor stopped shaking. i think wacom would behave similarly in this situation, but im not sure. u have to see it. try it somewhere else. what i noticed, is that this has nothing to do with the tablet. tablet is fine. i hope u get the solution...:).

cheers.

[stephendm]

Hey All,

Excellent work once again. Nice to see some new faces (new to me anyway...not necessarily to the site)
Artecnl: Like the new Avatar :)
Ximahmoud: Sent you a PM - possibly the solution to your tablet problem....let me know how you get on.

So busy lately so haven't been in much but should be back soon (for the voting and the next challenge). Ordered me an Intuos 3 9X12 tablet which I should have in a day or two so I'm absolutely dying to get back into doing more painting :) YIPPPPEEE! New toy!!

Good Luck

My futuristic landscape.
Done in about 2 hours with Photoshop CS (well under my usual time... but I consider this a "you get what you pay for" kind of example).
Really not happy with it, but there it is. Last week was the train, this week is the train wreck. I needed to do something to get back into this anyways.
Everyone has done really really great stuff this week, keep it up!
