Cheers Folks! I’m really pleased you’re diggin the speed paints!
Hehe they take between 1-2 hours. Um…lemme think, 1&2 took about 1hr10, No.3 Just over 2 because I still get uptight about speed painting characters…gotta work on that. 4th was an hour. 5th was just over 2…again noodling the characters and No.6 was actually less than an hour…but not by a lot. It’s not like I’m timing myself to the second, but if I give myself a deadline I find the paintings are better for it…nothing like a bit of panic to get you going.
These are actually all done in Photoshop, no Painter whatsoever for these ones…just after two years I finally made myself sit down and play with the brush settings! What can i say? It was on my 'to do' list ;p
I'm glad you guys are picking up on the energy; it comes from the panic of a deadline and listening to Metal like Nightwish , Tool and Prog ROCK like Spocks Beard!!!! HYEARGH! I’m really glad it’s coming through. For the landscape pieces I listen to BBC documentary soundtracks, helps to get me in the mood.
I’ve still got to work on my method though, these are my first and I’ve had a few clangers too. *shudders* Going to be playing around for a long while I'm sure.
Thanks again everyone, means a lot!
