Cool topic this week.

HammerCH22 I like your composition for the most part. Did you really paint that mountain in 10 minutes. If you did you are the best in the world If not and it is a photo like it sure looks like it is to me you should read the rules of the speed painting contest since your are new to this forum. You must paint the whole picture in a paint program not composite photos together. If i'm wrong i'm sorry, it just looks too perfect.

It's actually not that good...

Here is a close-up of the hills and part of the mountain.

I am working at 7200px X 3000px so when I display here it looks better than it really is. I use photos as reference of course but not actually in the image...

I included another update just to show process... So I block everything in in layers. Then I start building in detail using a series of both custom brushes, layers and blending modes... Once you've been doing it for a while it gets to be pretty quick...

As for the 10 minutes, not really sure. I am working on this while a scene renders for work, i have to keep jumping back into it, and take care of work related stuff. So honestly I am just guessing on how long I put into it... Few minutes here and a few minutes there... Probably was longer but not a whole lot.

O my goodness......I was seriously thinking of joining.....But I can't compete with photos. And man, that is what it is basically .......You have amazing talent. I really thought those were just copied and pasted photos....But you painted them...

Okay Waheed, time for the next comp.........We have a clear winner....

Guys here is my measly peinting idea. It is still WIP. I am going for a very impressionistic style.... But I am close to finishing it...
