SPEEDPAINTING CHALLENGE nr.14

Michael · 09-01-2005, 04:03 PM

This week's topic is to concept/paint an illustration of a "mother nature". It can be treated literally - so the personification of nature's forces, it can also be shown as a calm, serene, full of life forest/meadow shot. It's totally free for interpretation.

Have fun.

Go!

Hey Everybody.... It´s my first post here and this is my digital paint of Mother Nature.

victor farat · 11-01-2005, 11:45 PM

Here you can see the detail...

Michael · 11-01-2005, 11:52 PM

Hey there, Victor. Welcome to the boards!

Great entry, man, I really love it. The planar comosition, the plants, the mood...

Hey guys - take an example and post

Lord Soc · 12-01-2005, 02:36 AM

Well, okay...if you insist

Today is a day of firsts for me...first time I'm going to get round to posting one of my entries for the Speed Painting Challenges (albeit WIP), first time I've really sat down to some art in a while, first time I'm going to show it to people, first....

Anyway,

I'll try to get some better quality pics for later posts... A3, graphite pencil, untainted by photoshop (ie totally traditional

) couple of hours from conception to this point.

==>edit: blast.

Lord Soc · 12-01-2005, 02:40 AM

The picture

Michael · 12-01-2005, 04:12 PM

Good start, keep it going. I would try to bring it out in the Photoshop later on, cause on the image it's hard to see anything.

Lord Soc · 12-01-2005, 05:21 PM

Thanks Michael. It is a bit pale at the moment....that's a combination of three things:

1: ancient digicam
2: less-than-desirable lighting
3: it's still very early on....just the general idea. Hopefully it will be clearer when more of the shading's been added.

How much can you see at the moment (and on what type of monitor)? Anything?

Ibbo · 12-01-2005, 09:54 PM

Oh wow ive actually gotten round to DOING a sketch for an initial post. Still need to scan it, but im really trying to pull my weight around to get this entry in. Great posts Victor and Lord Soc, keep them coming everyone!

Ibbo · 13-01-2005, 02:10 PM

Not my luck today... I had my computer wiped because it was messing around awhile ago, and ive just found out i havent installed PS yet, nor can i find the CD for it!

Heh, heres a 'Paint' image of the sketch. Bear with me, this is just to show the style im aiming for. Its an earth elemental and im hoping to put him in a scene along side mother nature (He will be standing there, mother nature will be holding his arm... bah, ill show you guys later). Im going for a more comic look so it will be intresting to see how it goes...

ROB · 14-01-2005, 09:07 PM

Happy New year Everyone!
I got a little free time in work today so I did this pic of Mother Nature healing a tree.

mosk · 14-01-2005, 10:08 PM

hello here is my contribution for the competition, a 10 minuts drawing of mother nature multiplication of species.

hope you like it .....

Ibbo · 14-01-2005, 11:10 PM

LoL, i like it Mosk. And Rob, thats a great piece but it seems that it needs to be a little more solid, maby some lines or something. At the moment it looks very faded and blured. Still a great piece!

Orkron · 17-01-2005, 09:13 AM

I think this comp is like the speed modelling challenge in that only pictures created for the purpose of the challenge are allowed, so by that token I guess this doesn't qualify since I did this in my Digital Imaging class last term. I did however want to post it and see if you guys like it...I'm considering joining this comp next week if I have some free time.

CHK · 17-01-2005, 01:10 PM

Nice work from everybody so far!

Here is a quick contribution!

Okron> I've seen your painting somewhere but can't remember! Nice!
