Everybody is so productive!
Sheff: that selfportrait of yours made me laugh

[seth1]

Got a bunch of tips today just to throw it on there messy and fast and it was quite fun...

[Capt.FlushGarden]

hey guys! awesome stuff

Gecko, man no school yet, im thinking hard, sweden is boring now, again lol!

matthew: welcome back, i like your poses and colors, nice flow to the whole thing, definatelly an improvement cince last month.

old concept, no speed paint but not worthy of own thread either

[Naeem]

1 hour

allpetter, many thanks petter, great stuff from you lately.

Capt.Flush, many thanks Flush, I am really glad to hear that cause sometimes it feels like I am getting worse. neat concept u got there.

F�rresten, om skolor Flush. Se upp med alla de d�ra abstrakta skolorna, verkar som de flesta nuf�rtiden f�ljer den abstrakta linjen. Jag l�rde mig ganska mycket i f�rsta �rskursen i min skola om f�rgl�ra och s�nt men det andra �ret har jag mest tragglat och l�st b�cker f�r mig sj�lv. Vad jag har h�rt s� �r det inte heller alla skolor som l�r ut f�rgl�ra, blev v�ldigt f�rv�nad n�r jag h�rde det och jag trodde heller inte att det skulle vara s� mycket abstrakt som styrde allting.
N�r man studerar konst nu s� betraktas man som en skurk och h�-torgsm�lare om man vill �t det figurativa, crazy �r det.

Det g�r det v�ldigt sv�rt till vad jag ska s�ka n�sta �r, kanske Odd Nerdrum vore ngt, haha har h�rt att han l�r ut sin l�ra till vissa studenter.

ok I am going to the Skateboard-park today so just a quick angle scribble, still can't decide the composition for the final piece.
Thanks again for the warm welcome guys, this is truly the best thread in the web and the only place that I will visit from now on. Got fed up with CA and cgtalk and those forums, seems CA only wanna have help with the interface from famous guys.
sorry for the long message.



have a nice weekend everyone.

[watmough]

couldn't resist.....
its all your fault matthew!
thanks,spyro

[RasselTassel]

nice nice

capt.flushgarden: hey nice!.. skyscrapers, fire and dead dangling bodies always works for me =))... the more loose painting in the upper area got my head tilting a lil bit down the left corner to the more detailed section though.. of course. I couldnt resist cropping it in PS... and it was a very pleasant view if i may say so.. the running taxi got a larger role... dunno if i(aye!) myself would've dared cutting a piece of that quality.. but since its someone elses work there's no problem with it ... love your workz.

and about swedish art-schools matthew,flush .. EERRROR,NADA,CRAP.. but do please tell me if ya find something ... im thinking of getting into some fine art school here though... its still 5 years free school .. got rejected last year.. but ill have to try again. (no digital stuff this time ffs!.. and no correct anatomy etc. etc. )


here's ma blarf:

.. and a rather simple picture, if you don't mind (?)

[Mitsui]

Capt.Fred yeah I tried something different maybe a bit balisticstyle:)

Yarik well I don't use often those ps standart brushes...but well
I thought it looks ok even if everybody knows it's a ps brush.
Anyways thnx for your suggestion.

[Matthew]

m�lare, welcome to sijun.

watmough, hehe.

RasselTassel, don't they have some fine-art schools in denmark aswell? could maybe be something. Fine-art is what I want too but choice of school is really gonna get difficult.

Mon, many thanks there Mon. Really nice latest batch there from you btw that u posted earlier, I didn't bump that thread since I came in a little bit late. u work for a game company now?

Me getting old and it is really obvious when u are standing on a skateboard and all the kids are flying around and u are not. hehe.
ok a bold experiment


ok later

[octavian]

This is probably my favorite painting in the world. I'd like to see it in person.
So naturally, I had to paint it.
After: Abbott Handerson Thayer

[Naeem]

will be diong 100 blak n white speedpaintings with seth1 on here. here's my 30 minute. i just painted random shapes and once they began looking like something i just tried making it look liek that.

[geki]

@zhuzhu
Hehe, nice design. I wonder how do you have that watercolor effect ?

@Capt.FlushGarden
Really impressive as usual. Sometimes it looks like matte painting.

@Matthew, RasselTassel
Nice works guys.

@Mon
I went to you website, looked at your tutorials, video and everything. I really envie you

quick brushes testing as usual in painter ix. ref used

[Misc]

lots of swedes here...

[Sheff]

This is a demo for my class tomorrow. The reference is from Fight Club. I did it partially to help me figure out how to explain how explain how to paint to people who have never painted from life and some who have never had any life drawing. Also I did it to remind myself what it's like to paint in acrylic as I haven't done it in a really long time. The first seven images are shot with a digital camera, but the battery ran out. The last one is from my scanner. You can see the color influence of the light. Unfortunately, the ferrule slipped off of my brush shaft and rolled under my desk and I can't get to it.

So I'm off to go buy some more brushes. This demo is as done as it's going to get. Still, I'm happy with the overall values. If enough people point out the jacked up eyes, I might fix that in photoshop. Otherwise, the tweaked head shape is intentional.

Fred: I'm still chewing on your answer on brights and darks...
malare: your stuff reminds me of Cthonic Divinity I think his name was. Is dat you?
Rassel: I like how you just seem to be carefree about the whole thing.
That in itself makes "it" good.
annisahmad: b/w studies aren't a bad thing...looks like it's about to be the kick. Color is hurting my brain right now. Value first DAMMIT.

10-11/100 - 30 min. each

[RasselTassel]

matthew: I guess they have... but hey.. its still modern scandinavian fine-art .. so i guess i might aswell go to a school here in sweden... that painting of yours are upsetting me btw... i guess its fine art! \o/ ... nah, im not bashing "fine-art"(trendwhorefuckersbutarentweall).. its just not feeding my brain at the moment... i guess im leaning towards illustration more than fine-art right now (duh).. but i dont wanna label myself... gargh... in sweden u cant say ure an artist either... there's not really any good word thats covering both the fine-artist(konstn�r) and the illustrator area... errh.. sijounist? o_O

reakshun: heh.. nice comment =) thx. Your paintings are working... but remember the golden opportunity when painting in B/W.. u can go berserk with the painting!.. so much easier to control the values obviously.. now u finally can paint the things u couldnt quite get a hang of when painting with colors.... think bigger and paint what u cant... and yeah.. screw the time. =)

mon, mitsui: tasty-nice.


oi..
