Thanks ye all for the comments - much appreciated

Gordon13: Great idea, the plane's kicksass. The fire might need playing around with opacity in places but tis cool - its me being picky. The sea itself does need to be a little less "vertically" flat, for want of a better word. looks like you erased the Horizon line of the water. Play around with the brushes, blend and blend. Try different colours, greens and blues... maybe a hing of grey. You need to give an illusion that the horizon is way off... break the straightness of the horizon, have interlocking waves. Hope it makes sense...
Oh Well

Artecnl: Depressingly Good. Effortless great work as always. Love the sea. The impending doom... the hammer waiting to fall.

Kovooraj: Great Picture. Maybe darken certain aspects for greater contrast but then again im just being picky. Again.

Art Mekanik: Cool idea, the fear of abandonment... Arrghhhh. Oh well I cant swim anyways so itll be a short wait.

Lukanus: Great picture. Love how you did her hair. You just know the sailors are fecked!!

Usmanghiyas: Nice idea to use a silhouette. The sea looks like its boiling.

Undertow: Now thats an evil image. Brilliant, you captured the violence and the heat of an A-bomb blast nicely.

Hope I didnt miss anyone... sorry if so

Hi all.
This is my version of Sea Tragedy.
There is a little kind of mouse in Greenland very pretty and soft that have fun to.. die with all family and parents together.

they are lemmings.

That is a natural mistery but no one till now know the real reason.
I was thinking about that for my tragedy.

I did in 1 hour and 20 minutes in Photoshop CS with TRUST little tablet

Hope you like it

kisses

Hi everyone,thanks for comments.

Crackerlips- I can't see enything

The ****** atachment still doesn't work

, or maybe it's something wrong with my browser

. Anyway, I hope I will see it soon...

Usmanghiyas - nice idea , add more detail.

Elf - same as crackerlips

I can't see it....

Eetwartti - good idea, very nice use of colours.

Annatar - hmmm....the idea looks familiar

Anyway, that's a nice one.

Undertow - What can I say... it's great! Excellent approach to the topic.

Palantir - That's a good one! Great use of color and the idea is great too. I like it.

Palantir · 15-09-2006, 12:14 AM

Thanks usman and Lukanus for your comment.
I had paint the little limmings like that for make the scene less dramatical than the real things. I was little sad when i saw a documentary at television about that little creature fall down from a high place in the ocean or start swim till the end.. without energy for survive.
So i try to give them a kind of funny appaerance for cover a little the cruel reality.

(sorry for my english i hope i had explain a little my intention ad concept)

kisses

gordon13 · 15-09-2006, 01:15 AM

Ok I reworked my first entry so this is the final version. Im much happier with it now. Added waves, shadows and the water looks better I think. Added more colours to the water (Im no good with colours so you might think theyre a bit wrong

) to give more variety.
Iv also read an article about painting that said about adding small detail (also making areas more blurry than others to keep the atention focused on the important areas) around the important parts of the scene, like the water and the plane, and it would keep the viewer's interest on the specific areas to keep the viewer's eyes from drifting off the page. I have tried to make this painting effective using the techniques from the article. Hope you like it

stephendm · 15-09-2006, 02:15 AM

Palantir: Very interesting take on the theme. I like the sea the most but it's all pretty awesome! Poor little idiots

Gordon13: The techniques you read up on have definitely helped..keep it up! A vast improvement on the sea - nice one. I think the colours are spot-on

I'm still unable to upload through Threedy so I've tried Imageshack....
Let me know if you can all see it now and crit please. Cheers.

Palantir · 15-09-2006, 02:32 AM

Thanks crackerlips for your comment.

I like your concept expecially the camera view. (Fortunally we watch the scene from the winner boat!

)

Lukanus · 15-09-2006, 02:58 AM

Crackerlips - An excellent one from you!! I love it ! The composition is amazing !
The sea look realistic. It's the best so far ! Really, really, really great work!

ania · 15-09-2006, 03:58 AM

Palantir cool one, I love that kind of scenes

crackerlips, water looks great

here's mine

Palantir · 15-09-2006, 04:23 AM

Ania very funny! Poor bird.

If survive i hope he learn the lesson and fly over the clouds :P

kisses

Undertow · 15-09-2006, 05:49 AM

Thanks all for the comments very much appreciated.

Gorden: Great Improvement over previous submission, the techniques pay off.

Palantir: Looks very bright and rather cute shames it falling to its death....love the bright and colourful background.

Crackerlips: I can see it and it does not dissapoint, amazing work, the water is perfect

Ania: Love the cartoony style and use of bright colours, goodwork

Annatar · 15-09-2006, 01:34 PM

Palantir: Cute little Lemmings. Original idea, nicely done

Gordon13: Wow man! you did a great job on the sea. Colours etc are spot on.

Crackerlips: Run out the 9's!!! Put some solid shot in their guts. Wowa, flash back! Mentally good sea. The waves are class. Nice idea to do the view point from the enemy wessel (as Checkov would say).

Ania: A lovely refreshing picture. wellll maybe not for the bird.

@Lukanus - Yeah I was about half ways through when I saw your pic with the Siren. I thought, "ahhh someone else who likes myths etc". As for rocks... wellll sea, rocks and ships go hand in hand with disasters. A no brainer... just as well for me.
I was going to do a scene from The Odyssey -Scylla and Carybdis. Have the main man Odysseus urging his men on between the Whirlpool and the rocks as Scylla lifts a few men from the deck. I might try it later... I just couldnt get a groovy angle on it.

Lukanus · 15-09-2006, 04:01 PM

Annatar - I mean my first picture...look at post # 14

...

Ania - nice idea, nice colors.I like it.
P.S. nice gallery too
