[yoyomon]

Here's a piece I did in Computer Art II. I was really suppose to be working on my final 2D piece but I'm lost as to what I should do so I did a quicky. About 1 hr and 10 min in Photoshop.

Sorry for my poor english..
Bye..

[waheed nasir]

i see some good ones here...:). nice angle yoyomom.

hello justGTA...welcome to the forum...:). are these all painted or have u used pics and applied filter over them? in that case, they dont fit in here, here u have to paint from scratch, u can look at pictures/references, but what u submit has to be all painted by yourself.

please go thru the Rules here:

http://forums.3dtotal.com/showthread.php?t=24525

all the best...:).

[JustGTA]

Hi!
I used pics an I painted over them, after I used combustion for the color manipulation..
I'm going to paint something 100% by myself...
Bye..

[ENCHANTER]

Oh some good stuff going on here :)

[Auwyn]

Hi,

First time at these forums, saw the challenge and figured I would have a go for kicks.

Some great stuff already posted, so went for something a little different. Took an ant's eye view of a rainstorm. :)

Took a couple of hours using PS CS2 and a Wacom tablet.

[M_Cederstrom]

[Josiah]

attack of the photoshop filters
hahahahah! made me laugh man! ....nice

[Sylphx]

your second one is a lot more effective then your first one M_Cederstrom.

[M_Cederstrom]

Thanks, Sylphx

[DeadRockBoy]

One hour with Photoshop. Don't have tablet at work so I was doing it with mouse. I will try to make another post. Not happy with this one.

[Auwyn]

hahahahah! made me laugh man! ....nice

I dont get it...explain please?

[Glottis]

Nice Going Guys...


Haven´t been a regular guest at the speedpainting challenges, regretably..


so, thought I´d participate:

20 mins via Wacom and PS CS 2

Rainstormy thingy witha magician in the corner (http://conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=129081&stc=1&d=1177512210)

ooo!

[yoyomon]

I dont get it...explain please?

Just about everybody is using the noise filter with motion blur to create the rain.

[bb0x]

imo we should try to move away from filters.....I mean you are trying to mimic a real life painting in some way...so why use filters?....The noise+motion blur doesnt even look good imo....i mean f it is obvious that filters are used...than imo the artist hasnt tried hard enough.

but on the other hand....its about the final image and the feeling it gives...


So do whatever you guys want to :)

[M_Cederstrom]

sorry, to ask guys but what does IMO stand for, some one please tell.

[bb0x]

in my opinion

[M_Cederstrom]

oooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!! Thanks, bb0x

[yoyomon]

On the contrary, I feel that if the tool is there, why not use it. Trying to draw every rain drop, I think, is kinda ridiculous b/c not only is it going to take a long time, it's probably going to have a large vary in stroke size and curve, resulting in what I think to be more newbish.

[M_Cederstrom]

I thought i go ahead and do my third a last one. I like this one a lot. this one took 2.5 hours. later :D

New one. 1 hour and 15 minutes. Wacom this time.

[rodriguez]

hey folks nice to see a good turn out for this one

Not a fan of custom brushes or filters myself. Its always better to practice ur skills painting it urself it'll pay off in the long run. :)

Anyway here's mine.

2 Hours with tablet and painter

http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/2198/rainstormfu4.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

[Hexonal]

Awesome rodriguez, I love the dual lightsourse, and the edge/ light effect makes it almost like your looking through a rain soaked window. very much a fan of the composition aswell.

[DeadRockBoy]

I agree with Rodriguez. I'll see if I will have some time for another one. Without filters and stuff. If not I'll go with my last one. "Rainstorm in gray" :)

[nucron]

some nice stuff in this thread, already. haven't painted anything in a while, so I had to jump in.

this probably would have turned out better if I spent more time on it. but I just kind of stopped working because it felt like it wasn't going anywhere.

anyway, here's my attempt at a rainstorm.

~2 hours 20 minutes, Photoshop Elements 3.0

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y297/ronaldraven/stormcity-01-w.jpg

[yoyomon]

Here's another image. It was originally at 1024x768. Took about 1hr 30 min.

[M_Cederstrom]

Brazucka i like that style you did. really cool.

[Brazucka]

Thanks man!
:wave:

[waheed nasir]

some very cool entries...great going...:). what i like the most are the colors, most of them are very appropriate according to the topic. smart use of palette i say...:).

DeadRockBoy, sure u can use filters as well as brushes of various sorts. but it would be good if u show and develop your painting skills and remember your painting skill would be more appreciated and gives u more points/marks...:).

nucron, thats good, it got a stong feel of a rainstorm.

lovely entries folks. all the best... :wave:.
