The theme for this month:

THE TREE

Inspiration image by ZUPZUP

An image where a tree is the focal point. I had in mind something majestic or epic, but feel free to explore the theme.

2D and 3D accepted, digital and not, finished or sketched. Feel free to cross-post images into other relevant threads, and to post older images that fit the theme. The more the better.

Quintus, I'll see your birds and raise you by one minotaur. Confused

Tomasis · Posted: Mon Aug 01, 2011 12:13 pm

beautiful works, both guys!

must it be only 1 tree? hehe I did like 100 trees in single image hehe

quintus, I like idea about scribble thread.. because it is not fun if one has to hide because he feels he spams too much. I want do some scribbles to generate ideas without worrying about quality.. speedpainting thread kinda got "high" status..

I want get relaxed and scribble for 30min. I even created scribble folder for images as trees below.

Very Happy

Im planning to create "Analog" thread to encourage for more traditional work Wink

now comes 100 trees images lol

Awesome work guys Smile

Funnily enough, a lone tree being the focal point in an enviourment that doesn't suit its needs is probably one of my favourite themes, got like 3 sketchbooks full of images like that... especially dead trees in lush enviourments.... I feel like I'm gonna spam this thread to death once I get home next week... Surprised

Great to see everyones view on "the tree" Smile

Here's a few older ones..

Thanks guys, good work everyone by the way. Very Happy

Lakka, wow, awesome.

samhell, haha hilarious. I see you minotaur and birds and raise you with a billion birds and yea two trees again ah maan lmao. Laughing

Hmm by closer inspection perhaps 20 birds, round it up to a billion. what?

Nide · Posted: Fri Aug 05, 2011 12:36 pm

samhell · Posted: Sun Aug 07, 2011 6:55 am

Tomasis, It was quite interesting actually, I removed paint in a seperate layer on that one. I am still looking for that glazing tecnique digitally, lots to be done with that .. I think.
Thank you. Smile

I like the stuff you're working on btw, those knights and the oil paintings.

Nide, wow beautiful

Sup_Ben, I really like your brush strokes. Good balance in the latest one.

That was a great month, and probably equal to the original Squares as best theme so far. Great stuff.
