Speed Painting Challenge is up.

[waheed nasir]

hello there everyone... , as im serving as a moderator in the 2D and Speed Painting Challenge forums, i would be handling the Speed Painting Challenge this time during the absence of Michael.... .
to make this interesting and for a change, the topic for this challenge is Storm, paint a storm, or lets say a stormy scene, a landscape hit by a storm, this would certainly give us an opportunity to have something painterly, with those wild brushstrokes as well as creative, dramatic, with all sort of colors and movement.
so lets be spontaneous in our approach, as always, with all those, scribbling, shading, paintstrokes, rough or finished, as u like. my personal opinion would be, to have something like a "Sketch in oils" look, the treatement that would perfectly suit the subject.... .

so lets start folks......start posting, it will carry on for 10 days, ending at the 17th of this month.... .

all the very best to all of you.... .

Hi. New here as well, but longtime lurker, admirer. I saw this and since we've had so many storms here lately, I thought I would try it.

I am a novice painter so any tips and crit are welcome.

I'm unsure what qualifies as "speed painting" so I tried to limit myself to 30 minutes.

here it is at 15 minutes, about: http://www.gypsyspacemuffin.com/stormquick.jpg

at 30: http://www.gypsyspacemuffin.com/storm2.jpg

I did cheat and use a radial gradient in photoshop.

Here is my reference, taken in my backyard. Not a storm but it set up my composition: http://www.gypsyspacemuffin.com/ref.jpg

the attached image is the 30 min, click links for full size

Hey guys,

I think you're supposed to attach your paintings to your posts, so we can see them inside the forum. If I'm wrong, please correct me.

[tomkpunkt]

Hi...

this is my first entry in this topic and my first 2d work.
i hope you like it, its a solar storm

i made it with alias sketchbook.

[waheed nasir]

thats cool.. .
thats the whole idea, 15, 30 mins work is something u can always submit as long as it goes with the current topic. and this is for everyone, established or novice. no prob at all. i see your work and its quite good. just attach your work with your post, so c72 and VictorC, pls attach them so they open up in these same posts of yours. and if u can write a bit about the image, time and medium/software used, that would be great.
hi shadowmaker SdR, how about one from your end ?
thats an unusual work tomkpunkt, very vibrant indeed. i like it...
keep comin in... .

thanks guys.

[tomkpunkt]

so guys..

so i drawed another ... this image needs about 3 hours,
i scribble a littlebit to find my own style, i hope you like it too.

sorry my english is a little bit bad...

[Mr.Sharky]

Windy scene, 20 minutes to finalize, used Wacom Graphire 3 tablet, photoshop and 1 filter. I hope you like it.

[otas32]

Ok Guys, I've also been a lurker on the forums for a long time, just ooing and aahhing at what everyone else does... so, since I have a little photoshop skill, at least more than on 3d software, I tried this out.

Technically it's not a storm, more like the promise of one

Total time:

1 hour. About 10 minutes on each stage.
I used no filters, just painted on diferent layers using this brush I made quickly:

Stage 1

Stage 2

Stage 3

Stage 4

Stage 5

Final


Of course if this where to become a matte painting I would just be on the main background stage, and now I would be entering the fine details and stuff stage.. but it's a speed challenge, so it's the best I could do in an hour.

Hope it's ok.

otas32, very very nice, beautiful, and using the one brush gives it a really unique look.

and you're right, it looks pretty calm there, maybe a storm tomorrow though.
