# 86 Happy Holidays

BiG ToE-3DT · 24-12-2008, 10:45 PM

Speed Painting Challenge no. 86

Topic: Happy Holidays

Idea: Show what the holidays mean to you. It can be as simple as a tree with lights, or a family portrait.

Deadline: 11:59 pm (GMT) Sunday January 4th (use the time zone thread to make sure your done in time)

Prizes: (must be at least 6 entries)
Winner gets to choose one of the following options:
- 6-month subscription to the 2DCreative magazine
- 6-month subscription to the 3DCreative magazine

Rules:

- Any medium is allowed, as long as it can be put into digital form - scanned, photographed, etc.

- Since it's a speed painting, it should be finished in the smallest amount of time possible, but if you paint a whole day, you won't get disqualified . But for example, 4 days is too much

- IF YOU PAINT MULTIPLE ENTRIES, YOU NEED TO STATE BEFORE THE DEADLINE WHICH ONE YOU LIKE THE BEST. IF NOT – I’LL DO IT FOR YOU
- References can be used - 3D or photograph, BUT you can't paint over them. It has to be your own painting.

Custom brushes can be used, but to some extent - they can't be pre-made parts of the future painting, like a whole tree, brush, cloud, an explosion, lighting... you get the point. They can be - a couple of leaves, a couple of grass blades

There will be a Final Entry Thread for you to post your work in

A classical north-european winter holiday... christmas eve... kids have build some snowmen... a cristmas tree is sparkling like there is no tomorrow and everyone is in church celebrating the birth of some small or holy racker.

Approx 6 hours in artrage, most of it. And some 3/4 hour in photoshop for colour adjustments, lights and christmas tree decoration (if you want to call it like that), etc.

regards,
tokai

nice work man!!really like the illustrative style.Id be kinda tempted to make the lights a little warmer though, an orange might contrast and compliment the blue scheme really nicely...just a thought

really like it man!

Thanks.

Also thanks for the hint, I made it a bit more orange (nut fully, this was a bit too dark then... so it's in the middle between orange and yellow now). And it seems to me that it feels better that way.

Will post only in final thread. No need to waste 2 times the space.
