Speed Painting Challenge no. 65.

[waheed nasir]

here comes the 65th Speed Painting Challenge, starts now and ends on the 23rd of July, 2007, Monday.

to have some interesting change this time, lets have a different goal to achieve. might be little tough, but definately a great fun, with lots of stuff to learn at the same time.

we are going to have a Matte Painting Challenge.

Topic: Landscape with a caste and mountains (Matte Painting).

okay, now as its different, so little change in the Rules:

. outside images/photographs are allowed to use (as in photo-manipulation), along with painting. like you can use various photo elements of mountains, trees, castle in your matte. like how its usually done. but please remember, only for this particular challenge you are allowed to use images in your work, not for our usual speed painting challenges. all other Rules stay the same.

its good to paint major parts, try not to make it look like a composite, which wont teach u much. good painting skill if used in matte paintings always give u high marks. hence, your work would be judged by seeing what and how have u created to make a strong scene. composition, focus, perspective, colors, mood, light, time of day, everything will be considered. so its good to show your paintings skills as much as u can to achieve all that.

its upto you to paint in whatever style u like, realistic, or speedy. i personaly like atmospheric landscapes with lots of mood and drama. u can paint a peaceful green landscape or a stormy dark, rugged land, your choice. whatever u go for, do include a castle and mountains (thats our topic).

u have more days this time, cause of more work that would be needed as per this challenge.

so start working and posting. im sure to have a huge fun this time....

all the very best to everyone.

Can we post WIP this time? Since its not a speed thing, it would be nice to have comments and see the progression of others.

Awesome Challenge

Yeah, Wip would be good

[waheed nasir]

i do understand the point, but it would complicate things, as its still a challenge, its good to have only finished artwork, just like in any other contest.

sharing a WIP as u carry on is for WIP section or for 2d digital artwork area.

kindly do post only your mattes here, for WIPs we might have another one, in the future, with certain rules.

good day.

ok, then I suggest we should start a thread in the 2D digital artwork called : < Speed Painting Challenge no. 65 WIP >, so we could all post in that thread. Anybody interested?

I´ll start a new thread

[Warin-3DT]

Hello all!

Maybe ,for this special Matte painting, we can do something like they do in the Stylized Animal Challenge? In each month, the moderator create 2 threads;

-First thread for posting WIP, where you will get feedback,critics and suggestions etc from other members
-when time for posting final image, the moderator will create a new thead called 'Final image and voting' where final image only posted! After that we will vote in this thread as well. This willl not cause any confusion at all!

I think this solution should work and satisfied, but this it totally up to Waheed.....please wait for this decision! and we should respect whatever decision made, as he is ages!

Many thanks to all....please stayed turned!

BTW, in the mean time......get your pencil, start sketching, and drawing!

sure, we can have what Warin has suggested. but lets have it like that in the next Matte Painting Challenge, after having a proper plan.

for this one, those who want, can work and post the progress steps in the 2D Digital Artwork section and post the final image here (as suggested by rawk777).

so for this one, only the final image and for the next Matte Painting Challenge we will have a seperate thread here, for Work In Progress.

this thing would only be applied for Matte Painting Challenges. Speed Painting Challenges would be done in their usual manner.

good luck everyone....
