it was a speedy, thats why the perspective was all over. NFS got one pass on those.

mr Monkey you are welcome, wondering if anyone reads that stuff

Spooge> I read everything I can, sometimes I save your comments to documents for later reference. You know, a lot of people myself included have never had any useful art training.

I realized I simply can't use much color before I get a better hang of values.

EA sure likes to recruit CG celebrities, eh? They had Stahlberg do the girls in NFS Underground, and also Habib Zargarpour who did the cars. That's 3 celebrities in one game. YET, they didn't advertise the fact in the marketing department--which leads me to believe that their marketing department is kinda clueless(but then again, EA games keep selling like hot cakes. . ..). Or maybe they just think CG fanboys pirate their games anyway?

I don�t know. In my understanding, speedpainting is not necessarily about the time a picture takes but more about the process I guess. I normally use to make very elaborate drawings for my paintings and this way they always turn out a little stiff and unanimate.

On this painting I started with a faint idea, used spooges tip on working over some random surface and just let my belly make the decisions. Perspective and composition may be off at some spots but I really like the result. I painted about six hours on this one but to me it does "feel" like a speed painting because I never had the feeling of "working" on a detail but everything stays kinda loose and improvised (what you probably can not see in this copy because the original resolution is about 3000 pixels wide).

Lunatique> I think the majority of their target audience is not interested who did what. The fact cg-people probably know their stahlbergs doesn't mean your average sports car fan does. They need Vin Diesel.

spooge demon · Posted: Fri Dec 26, 2003 5:06 am

mikko, that is awesome!

man you save that stuff? I better put a sock in it.

There was a mention of "Oscar nominated" somewhere in the press drivel, about Habib. I don't know where SS's work turned out. It was a BG in a "tips" PDF, but don't know where else. Might have been a mag cover?

I am always amazed that concept art is commissioned. The stuff I did actually did influence the game, but what I did was kind of obvious to me. Street, reflections, dark, sprinkle lights. But the people I do them for really seem to think they are useful, so I take them at that.

I did fire up the demo and it is a pretty neat game, and it looks cool. I am enjoying playing it! Don't know if I will spring for 50 bucks, but it would be fun.

to me speed painting is any painting that does not have work done to it to disguise the fact that there are parts you don't understand. The old illustration standard was you could make the most awful tripe in the world, and if was "tight and clean" it was OK. If you can succesfully simplify something, you understand it. If you don't, you will wiggle it, smudge it, put some more highlights and contrast on it, dodge it, render it more, blah blah.

Or maybe it is work finished until more work would bleed the life out of it, as you have to do in illustration work.

more peter pan stuff I was fired after I turned these in

neff · Posted: Fri Dec 26, 2003 5:40 am

D'oh, every single year a new Peter Pan Movie, thats so stupid Very Happy

I just tried out OC before Christmas and had a sketch session with a guy over in the chat, pretty cool stuff and it is very fun to sketch with others.
Here�s one I just did today and I am just messing around with the program at the moment, would be fun if custom brushes could be used.

Here�s the wpe file:

Here�s the thread concerning OC over at CA, you can also find the OC stuff overthere. I guess the most of you know about this thread but I am posting it anyway.

I have always had a weak point, my cryptonite, and that is to paint and draw vehicles.
another OC practise, think I will throw it in in the CA too.

digitaldecoy> I didn't get the impression of Spooge commenting your orc with that. I admit that I too often do just as he said, try to hide poor design with texture and dodging etc. I know it would be more useful to spend that time thinking about lighting & form than rendering more useless detail.

I think your pic was pretty good in that style! Lotsa color etc.

spooge I don't have to say that your art is amazing, everybody knows that. Quite new here from september in CG and watching your and all of yours here learned something about painting ( I hope so Smile

) I have only one question to you and would be happy if you answer. How many years took you to gain such skills, know that's stupid question, and know that way before me is quite long and very difficult. Just want some day be like you or even better (god bless me if I can) I know that I'm at the bottom of a mountain, when Ur at the top. Just forgive my curiosity.

I like the fiend one, nice lady, and digitaldecoy, another great pieace of art, wish I could perform colors like U.

And here's some of main, studies are awful and small part of time for painting...

I feel I have to quote Tony Tiger, "GGGRREEAAAT!". This thread is candy for the eye.

Made a while ago, but only posted in obscure threads:

These are fun to do since you don't have to worry about anything... just let the brush wander around putting knobs here and there. Since you only have to paint half of the image to finish it, it can be done really fast, plus you get a surprise once you flip it together. I like surprising myself.

Kid icarus is underestimated. OC crashes too much. Printscreen is my saviour. I should update PS5.5 to 7.0?
