Speed Painting Challenge no. 69.

[waheed nasir]

here u go, speed painting challenge no. 69 starts now and ends on the 18th of jan. 2008. friday.

Topic: A Robot And A Snowman.

something different this time. u got the topic now lets see how everyone goes about it. u can think of a scene with a robot and a snowman to say something, like a story, add an emotion, like friendship, anger, love, etc....

its upto you to decide about the background/setting, anything u like, interior or exterior. just have a mood, have something going on and let the work say something.

u can start painting and posting. this ends on the 18th and voting starts after the announcement.

all the best to everyone....

hi ...

my entry - "robot vs. snowman"
the idea was, that "bad" robot try to challenge snowman by throwing screws in him & snowman get angry & "give it back" to robot by throwing snow ball in his "face" ... or something like that - that was my FIRST thought about this challeng so here it is

sorry 4 my english

zylak, thats a niced one ..the story is funny

[Reddgrrr]

Well, realy cool idea Zylak, just one note - i think there should be 2 more shadows on cartoons from window light source. You got shadows from a moon, but due to light source from window it seems unpropriet. Or at least on snowman, maybe robot is out of the window angle . Just a thought, otherwise cool idea, lol.

ok..here's my entry. 3 hours with photoshop. the story is about the robot that feel a bit sad to know that the snow man he made a while ago is about to melt because the summer is soon arrive.
it just yesterday..when the robot still happy play with the snowman and the robot plan to 'give the snowman another syal to cover the neck. but today when he come..he doesn't so happy with what he see and can't do anything for it....
hope to see another entry..good luck all!!

Wow pretty cool works. Here's my entry... entitled "Courtship". A snowman fallen in love with a female robot. I've wanted to keep it simple and speed painted at 2 hours in photoshop CS3. I loved the outcome so I might make a more detailed version and not for submission. I'd like to add a monitor in the female bot which shows... "Incompatibility = 100% Probability = -100 Final Decision = Regardless,YES.! I hope you guys like it!

This is the first time I attempt one of these competitions. I have to say, I've been following 3D Total for over 2 years and I love this site. It really helped me out through college. Hopefully I will participate in more of these competitions to develop my skills in both 2D Painting and 3D Modeling.

These are my current WIP shots of my snowman that I started the moment i saw this competition on the front page. Hopefully I can finish this the way I want by the deadline. Wish me luck.

[waheed nasir]

QuantumFlux...nice to have u here mate.... i hope u take part regularly from now on. just one thing: only finished pieces are allowed to post here, no work in progress.

. best wishes to all.

hello ...

nice entrys guys i hope see some more till 18th.

@ Reddgrrr: i know, i know ... shadows + lighting is my HUGE problem i'm still learning, thanks M8

@ Androgs: nice piece, love colors & effects of this one ... looks really superb

@ Nocturn8: IMO this is the best idea 4 "story" in this challenge, but i don't like colors that U use + blurriness (snowman / window frame especially) - i paint my first pictures like this, than i start to use HARDER brush

@ racing2khaos: nice start M8, this one looks very good 4 me

@ pgomez: nice one, i like Ur characters (snowman is super) but i don't think that we should call Ur technique "painting", am i right ? looks like U use vectors + gradients mostly ... but it's still VERY NICE

@ QuantumFlux: i would like 2 make another one 4 this challenge & my idea was almost the same as Urs i like it a lot

waiting 4 more
