On koshimes proposal I try to start the day with a 30 min sketch.
Ok, I didn't really start the day with it, but I did it:)
I'm not really happy with them. I couldn't managed it to get a clear light situation in none of them. Probably I should invest more time in thinking about the colors and where the light is actually coming from ;)

The last two sotw entries and the finished version of the snowy mountain picture I already posted at the finished work section, just to have everything in one place...
(I tried to link the pictures, but it didn't work. So I uploaded them again. Hope that's ok...?)

I like your work a lot. The way you work lighting is very good.

Nice SB bsfea. I particularly like how you've handled the temperature in your latest sotw entries. Your 3D mouse character is brillant too lol Ru still doing much 3D work, perhaps even integrating it with your environment work?

[bsfea]

thanks for your comments guys!

@Wolfman
Yeah I really would like to try that, something in the direction of matte painting...Unfortunately, I have less than no time for art stuff at the moment. I have to learn for my final diploma exams :(
But I'll definately give it a try in the future.

That's also the reason for my sparse activity here on the board in the last
time, sorry for that guys...(on more lurking dude..)
Sometimes I think, it's too bad doing these things just for fun.:)
In my studies I'm more on the technical side of these things, doing alot of 3D
coding, shader and lighting stuff.


I just attached a step-by-step of the mountain-race painting to the steps thread:

A wee doodle here and there wouldnt be a bad thing

Good luck with your exams. Thats the most important thing!

[bsfea]

Thanks, I'll need it ;)

some experimental stuff on the first one, just played around with photos and layer modes. (about 30min)
the second one is a painting from today, about 3h...

some c&c would be nice, especially on the second

[Izene]

Wow!
I really love your work!
Amazing!

[bsfea]

thank you Izene

Love the latest bsfea. Very nice mood and atmopshere. Nice palette also. Would be good to see a customer perhaps, mostly as a silhouette catching some of that lighting from above

[bsfea]

thanks for your comment! Glad you like it...
You're completely right. I invested another hour into the piece.
I corrected the perspective, flipped the image, added a big foreground structure to have a better balance in the image and added some guys getting some food;)
I think it works much better now...

[zAnta]

Great progress here bsfea! :)

I love the improvements you put in the last one. Great loose shapes and nice feel of the materials.

Keep it up!

[DerMonkey]

i love the mood in the last one...

[Hyptosis]

[Eclipse]
