This is a nice theme, I actually killed to birds with on stone with this first post. I used this painting for my perspective class today.

Photoshop 40 minutes

Excellent waheed! The topic seems interesting as well as the final rule. The competition will prosper with less spam and more meaningful dialogue.

[waheed nasir]

:wave:...thank u guys and im really sure of some wonderful, atomospheric entries...:).
thats a nice one cartoonera, little more work on the lighting part can make it better. i like the place...:).

[PsyPuff]

Waheed, is it have to be ruins of a building?
Can it be other stuff... like vehicles?

Hi @ all.

very cool topic (actually I´m not quite good in landscapes - but on the other hand I should practice them)

@ Cartoonera: very nice picture and very fast! Although the textures (or filter, or brush) of the water and the clouds are looking quite odd.

@ Alletun: Man you know how to paint landscapes. I love this foggy mood. That´s a great picture!

[ania]

Cartoonera, a bit blurry in some parts, but nice.

Alletun, great atmosphere

cartoonera I like the overall feeling :)
Alletun you really need more details in there....especialy on the tower..at least some detail highlights

[Jessie_Rivers]

Hi, Friends.
I hope everything is alright. Here is my first contribution at this Speed Painting Challenge Nº 57. PhotoShop CS. 45 minutes, with mouse. My ruins are very simple: Ruins of the nature. Three stones indicate one lonely place. At the back one field ploughed indicate human activity, but distant.

I hope you like it. Thanks

[Suirebit-3DT]

jessie no offence but what's ruin in that? actually what's in that scene? :D

[HA-Jassar]

Hi everyone!
Here's mine ( all fictional :wave: ):

These are the old remains of the ancient City of the Mountains, shattered by war thousands of years ago, nothing remains of it other than shadows and ruins that tell us the story of a once great and beautifull city. Travelers pass by it sometimes and listen to the story, and wonder at how things went so wrong for this city, just like the traveler we see in the painting...

Edit:here's a link to a better quality image:

upload problem..., my work:

photoshop, wacom A/05 tablet

25 minutes

[BuffDady81]

At last... I have time off work again to be able to join in!!! Some excellent comps last few weeks/months - As allways high standards throughout.

Gonna get started on my ruins pic tonight, just thought i dleave a few comments while I was here.

Cartoonera: I can see what you were going for, and i like your use of bold colour, I agree with other comments that some work on more detail would help improve it.

Alletun: I like the atmosphere of this piece, and the effect you have created. For me, the tree/bird spoil the image - I can understand why you added them but I feel the image would have been better without them, maybe just a small rock instead. But your use of colour is really good, helps to create a very nice mood.

Ania: I like the style you have used, and the layers of colour work really well. I think you could have done with adding more ruin elements, missing bricks and decay would have been good.

HA-Jassar: I like the idea of your image though I feel more work could be done on the perspective within the piece. Plus i get the feeling the body of the character is twisted. You get a good feeling that the character is looking down on whats left of a great civilisation.

Tnads - i like your use of colour but try in future to create your own brush for creating grass effects. It aint always easy to do good grass, and get the colours right but I think your image wuld be improved greatly by trying this. I know you only took 25 mins to create - so maybe you just did it for quickness, but I feel it spoils the image.

Now its back to the drawing board - Well Wacom tablet...

Hi there!

Here are my entries.
I've sketched them all in Photoshop

Some kind of ancient ruins in the middle of nowhere:
http://www.inetgrafx.at/portfolio/3.jpg
5 hours - no ref

Industrial ruins, ambient lit:
http://www.inetgrafx.at/portfolio/4.jpg
1 hour - no ref

I'm not a big fan of this military stuff, but I prefer this one as my final entry.
Some kind of castle ruins with two guys having fun sliding down the rope:
http://www.inetgrafx.at/portfolio/5.jpg
3 hours - ref for the heli shape :edge:

Have fun!

Dan

[Annatar]

I-NetGraFX - Those ..... aarghh ...... those images are feckin mental!!!!
"I've sketched them all in Photoshop" Sketched!!?!! those are full blown paintings! Any more detail and Id start crying.

Repeatedly doffs cap*
Amazing work!

[drained spirit]

I-Netgrafix, Bro this is unfair to say the least!!! This is actually very dicouraging to me. Guess i won't start painting for this challenge at all. Those pieces of art don't look like thay are done in those short hours u have mentioned. I guess what i am trying to say is- AWESOME WORK DUDE!!!

[HA-Jassar]

Cool work indeed I-Netgrafix! now I will have to go and paint another piece!
Cheers!

[gordon13]

Wow "bows down to I-Netgrafix". Amazing work man.

[rodriguez]

Hey some good entries so far

I-NetGraFX very good quality images but i dont get a ruined feeling from any of them. It would have been nice to see what u could have done sticking a bit closer to the topic but still really nice pictures.

hope to see lots more entries guy mine'll be along soon

[Humuni]

Whoaaaaa~~ 0_o I-NetGraFX nice work i like the color and the background in the first painting. Feels like i'm right there going down hill(?) to the ruins.

[Suirebit-3DT]

I suppose it's useless to start painting something for thi challenge now....i won't win :D

[Annatar]

Suirebit tut tut!!! its not the winning its the taking part!












AYE RIGHT!! :P

[rodriguez]

[Brazucka]

Hi all!

Amazing works in here. This is my first time
at a speed painting challenge. Since I´m not
an expert, It took me 6hours and 20minutes to
make my scene. I hope not breaking any rules,
unfortunally I couldn´t open the post with
them. Sorry about my bad english and good work
for everybody.

Bye!
:wave:

Forgot to write the name. It´s called "Burning Hell".

[Cartoonera]

Artecnl your painting went like 500 steps beyond mine in greatness. Its awesome.

Jim#1000 your style is still one of my favorites. Keep on doing these paintings and it will start looking like a storyboard. Alien goes to barbeque gets hammered and crashes his ship :)

Hi, Friends.
Here is my second contribution at this Speed Painting Challenge Nº 57 (and my votable). PhotoShop CS and PhotoPaint of Corel Draw 12. 45 minutes, with mouse.
These are Mickey Mouse’s Ruins. I had a Look at Isla de Pascua’s Giants (called for island’s inhabitants MOAI). Then, I drew this artwork.

[waheed nasir]

some wonderful entries...good work, all of them, its just that we all see things and interpretate in our own personal ways and thats the beauty...:).

[Jessie_Rivers]

Hi, Friends.
To my Forum friends:Excuse me. I speak in spanish with artecnl
Gracias. Es bueno regresar a casa. Estuve ocupado terminando mi tercer año en la escuela de artes plásticas y ya estoy en cuarto año. Este año va a ser duro para mí. Tengo que montar una exposición para poder graduarme. Vamos a ver como me va.
Por otro lado, tus trabajos son muy buenos. Me parece que te volverás a llevar el primer premio. Hay unos trabajos hechos por otros concursantes que me parecen que no fueron hechos para este reto. Pero en fín, de todo hay en la viña del señor.
Que todas tus cosas estén bien.
Thanks

I see church windows are all the rage...


:D


(mim, just on a side note, Iran, good place to go on holidays to? Just checking, but hopefully not all the Churchs in Iran are in ruins)

[mim]

LOL! :D I paint that window with a reference and I use it just for that I like it! Not about church, mosque or something!lol! Just I had a good expression on it :) so I use it, and with no rage! I just wonna to make a elbowroom and a sense of cold! If you know! :D I like that ugly volum light effect also :dunno:

(And about side note: Iran is just a must to go place in holidays! If you interested to know more please pm me! Just I can't write the entire of page!)

Ps: churches is so enshrine in Iran just like mosques, don’t look at some stupid politician ppl (like something nejad or elsewhere! :D ); Jesus have a august place in Islam as well.
Btw, I wish a good n safe holyday to all of you dudes ;) although we haven’t holidays right now in Iran cause we celebrate start of spring as start of year in Iran called norooz :D :dance: :dance: ! :foppish!:

Ps2!: ok, so let me say also that we celebrate longest night of year also that is middle night of winter (tommorow)! It is called “Yalda”! We eat water melon n nuts on it! And having good n fun times! :D until midnight! There is a mythology that dreams will become true in this night! :evil:

No!, I wrote all the page at last! sorry for garrulity! :smug:
