[Keepin' da place]
My place!
Let's try make our best. Have fun, and keep it on until da finish.

[Team]
Teaming with Paulius on this one, hope I can give him some nicez inspiration for his sculpting work.


[Mood]

Drawing? You mean 2D??? You mean concept painting? Really?
In water? And with tentacles!!!
No, that can't be true...

Prevision => "Dark" mood (theme) with big eyes, tentacles, shark and puss(Y).

Maybe for (Y) part a simple pin up?


[Technique]
Matte painting => I'll try to make some photo blending and painting over
Black and white.

You're in da sculpting one paulius, nicez!!!
I'll pass by to make some comments.

Da Shark is perfect, exactly what I need.
I'll integrate mouth part on my matte.

First step matte, main idea is there (still got mouth part):
I'll clean da mess, shape it a bit more, lighting and add da details.
Full black and white, enjoy:

[washka]

C&C always appreciated. I'm still on lighting and details steps.
I think I'll add a background.
Will be something between photo and inking:

[paulius-st]

looks scary.
one question .
do these sharctopus'ess live in baltic sea?? if so than hell with summer in the beach i'm going to mountains .

[washka]

I'm not sure but I think those live in some kind of "mountains" area.
I keep some suspense.

Just a question paulius, how much Celsius degrees is on your country those last days?
Temperature?

[paulius-st]

well then i'll go to the sea :d .
well at our city at day there were from -16 to -25 depending on a day. if a wind is blowing than its about -30 we are fealing. and at nigt its about -25 to -32 . i checked termometer two days ago and it was showing -32 . our weather is kind of rough cause of the moisture it feals more that it is actualy. like for example in summer when we have +25 to +30 degries you can get cooked in the sun, but when i was in greece +42 felt like normal warm cause its wery dry there. and the same for cold - when i was in moscow these -40 felt like -15 at our place. but when you get -20 here you feel like your freazing to death .
and how about your place? is it wery cold in belgium?

[M_Cederstrom]

I like your idea's so far washka, you said you might ink it, Nice. try to add some size difference, like put a shark next to it, to see how big this bad boy or girl is.

[L3XICON]

wow some sweet images here Washka! you have a real lively painting style. And I would not want to meet that chap when going for a swim at the beach

[washka]

paulius:
day: between 0 and -10 , night: -10 and -15.
Even if it seems cold for me here, seems it's hotter than your place , but our summer is colder too , you're right moisture do a lot, hopefully I've got hot sweaters.

M_C: I'm trying to give an ink effect with scratches and solids while I'm painting on it, I'm not sure I'm as good as you to put real ink on paper but maybe I'll try it some day, no promess.
Like your idea of shark for scaling, I'll add some schools of fish too, thanks for the good constructive comment.

L3XICON: Care maybe he'll try to eat your mermaid.
Nooo... My big bad monsters don't eat sweet & sexy creatures.
But...

[washka]

Those tentacles have been eating my time.
I'm still cleaning da whole mess but it's shaping slowly, almost there.

I'm starting to add some details on it and on background. I'm not sure I'll keep da big head like this.
I'll have to think about lighting or some interesting athmosphere, nothing sure yet because deadline is near.

Here's a mordant valentine WIP version.
For the lovers ones I know that you won't forget it's tomorrow:
=> Try to coax da beast!

[ignacio197]

I like the look of this creature The tentacles look good to me. I prefer the face of that funny creature you had in your previous version.

[washka]

Thanks ignacio197.
I think it's a bit better too, but I'm not sure I'll keep it like that, I'll either change it, either I'll add some more shapes elements and details.
