A fire elemental, 40 minutes. She's a little mannish, but eh, who's to say that fire elementals aren't supposed to be androgynous? =)

Madeup landscape. Anybody know of any good tutorials for landscape painting or any good tips to keep in mind when painting one?

glad you liked the landing pic. Matthew, the green in the water is not entirely accurate. The green is algae, simply tiny plants. We see more of it today because of high nitrogen fertilizers and effluent from population centers. The algae loves the nitrogen and goes crazy. It is hard to say how much would be present in that time period. But also there is a color shift the same as you see looking from the horizon to vertical in the sky. There is a value shift and a color shift from greener to redder in the blue sky. I am guessing but this is probably due to water content in the atmosphere. Just as important is the sand in the water stirred up from wave action. That makes the water warmer in color and more matte. It is also a higher value, so the reflectivity appears to be less, and also you are seeing it a more direct angle. All these things tend to make the water in the foreground more matte. But in the extreme foreground, we a re looking at a very low angle, and the water is a thin relatively flat sheet (so reflections stay better organized and easier to see) so it is quite shiny. Play that against the matte quality of the sand. I also have a bridge to sell, really cheep.
Malachi, I answered your question about halo.
Inspired by a crane shot from ghost in the shell, but it really changed from that.

| Spooge, the last two are great. Do they teach all that stuff at AC, about water reflections and everything? It's nice to see you rationalise all things, so it's not merely eye-candy but based on reality somehow. |

spoogie, that thing is insane.
such a great PLEASURE watching it, my eye remains stuck on it.
a double cover for a french editor. divide in the middle and you'll see both covers.
took a few hours.
such a pleasure when the final result looks like the original 10 minutes concept done first.

Spooge: your last two, especially this latest one just make me want to pack the whole charade in! That last one is just beyond belief.
Man, those railway tracks are looking more inviting every day. 
I've decided not to buy those Ryan Church DVDs btw.
sparth: your latest is the hot shit too. Fabulous.
pringle, cake-eye, nUmb, stephan, spyro and many others: top banana!
here's a steampunk Royal Marine commando. I thought the idea of the British, French and Prussians fighting it out on Mars was original. How wrong I was.

Wow, awesome stuff all around. Pud' diggin' your steampunk ideas. Nice one Cake, you're making me obsolete here a t work. Spooge that last one is probably my fav of yours. Here's a quickie. Security ships over a refinery planet. Those engines were originally robot eyes. I suck at painting....sigh....

Whenever I wondered why the sky is darkest right above your head and lighter towards horizon (ignoring the sun in the sky), I imagined that it was probably because looking straight up you're looking thorough less atmosphere, than looking across. So the atmosphere's less thick in that direction so it's more like looking into the black of space... Is this right? In contrast to the water content idea i mean. Probably stupid |

Pringle, those ships on the last page are absolutely breathtaking! Definitely one of the best things I've seen in this thread for some time.
Well, I guess I should add something to justify this post too:

Sparth, very nice your latest.
Drypoint and random slaughtering with a hammer on a copperplate and then off to print.
Cityscape, I had to make one.

i think the work of local sijun masters (eg. spooge) is too strong for me, i don't overanalise they work but somehow my brain starts to use their solutions and i start to think that those solutions are the only right ones. I think i should leave this forums, my biggest source of inspiration :/

thanks for the comments on the marine lads.
dougbot: it's great to see you leaving your comfort zone. Time for me to retreat back into mine with tonight's brain yawn. There isn't a font size small enough to write this next bit. homage de spooge
<cough>
oDD: aw c'mon!! A year or so ago, I wouldn't have dreamt of posting here, or anywhere. Your last one has strong lighting. It needs work in places, but show me a picture by anybody that doesn't.  <digital slap in the face>

Man, where do you guys get the time for all this? Obviously much faster then I am. Really great stuff everyone. I think I'm learning more here than when I went to school. This was done in corel photo-paint to try and lose that 'photoshop look'. Anyone else use that prog?

spooge , u are my idol
i came here because of u
I learned some people here relies on photo reference alot
by tracing on the top of the photo,do u guys think it's a good way to paint?
sometimes it might make your painting look really good, but by doing that
i dont feel i can learn alot on composition and lighting,etc, what do you guys think about this kinda of "cheating"?

Wow, thanks for all the feedback.
Drunken monkey, glad you could learn from it, even though my perspective was all over the place.
Did you do any colour planning for that landscape?
the colours are right on imo. Nice drawing you've got there.
So many cool images...
pudding, sparth, odd, cake eye...and the list goes on.
matthew, nice pic. you are getting better.
Spooge, that is awesome
don't ask,
