Robots!!

[Android]

Sparth inspired me to create this thread, lets see what you got people,

ROBOTS will be our first theme.

[bengal]

...allow me to begin, even if i am just new here :

http://www.cafesale.net/bengal/gallery/robot05.jpg

about 30 minutes, photoshop7 only.

[coriat]

weee! sounds good! i've never drawn robots, but i'm gonna try for sure!

good thread!

reserved place for my image:

!here! :rolleyes:


hehe



yay, first post here :D

hey someone posted just some seconds before me, nice drawing bengal, welcome here at conceptart.orgeven though i'm new-ish too :-)
:mumble:

[sparth]

http://perso.wanadoo.fr/arth/art/stock/sparthbot02small.jpg

sorry for those who have seen it already, but i thought it was a good idea to do this transfer.

this one has been done in 30 minutes.

[bengal]

ok, another one as a teaser :

http://www.cafesale.net/bengal/gallery/robot10.jpg

30 minutes, photoshop7.

[Sketch]

Nice posts so far! Sparth, that character is great, looks part shark, robot and human. Very nice shapes. Bengal, nice work but did you use a drawing? I'm pretty sure speed paintings are supposed to be without a drawing. If I'm wrong, sorry.:) I like your first one, very animeish. I'll be working on mine shortly.

Damn, such strong work from everybody right out of the gate! I'm gonna love this thread.. be back in a bit... let me see what i can conjure up.

[Android]

25 minutes over lunch, painter 7

[Sketch]

Damn I have to post mine under Androids. I like your first one Andriod, amazing.
This is my first speed painting ever(actually it's pretty much my first painting in Painter). Already I feel like I learned a lot. I am probably going to work on this one still and do a few things I would have liked to get to. Any pointers from you guys would ge great!

I like your second post much more than the first, Killingpeople. I like his upper torso more than the bottom of him. Nice colour choices. Let's see another!

[Grooveholmes]

Allow me to humbly introduce the first ever robot addicted to crack..:bash:

http://www.joshball.com/forums/conceptart/SPR1/images/index.jpg


This was about 45 minutes. I stopped cause i wanted to remain true to the 'speed paint' guidelines.
*Grumble*Grumble* Kicking myself for not using painter everyday for the last 5 years.

[sparth]

oh my, the thread is already kicking butt! :D


and: there is that awesome android touch in these, a mix of gothic/squeleton form. plain awesome.
bengal: don't forget to post the future funky rabbit bots outside of the froggy territories too :D:D:D
romus: iron giant feeling. a bit blury, but it really rocks. the tones are live.
mr T: i love the second "bubble" one.
sketch: for the first speed painting ever, you're doing great. you'll be able to make a more accurate design later on, but no rush, it's a good start already.
KP: true, second one is much more atmospheric. love it!
the analysis is very good on the upper one.
Grooveholmes: great! do not hesitate to add more details if you feel like it. true, it's important to go straight to the point, however, do not feel frustrated because you feel you'd have added things here and there, but couldn't because of the time. have fun.

awesome m8s !!! :D

this piece took me 40 minutes in painter7, loaded pallette knife.

sorry if it forbidden to draw a line on paper before. here is one done only with photoshop7, 20 minutes. as you can see, i put a line with photoshop too, so...

Cool style Mr. T. You have this speed painting thing down. How bout trying something a bit different? Maybe Painter or a different style of rendering? Nice work everyone else!

[sparth]

rinaldo: honored to have you here. your style is so interesting and mature. last time i saw some of your art, i stayed looking at the tones for quite some time. analysing your own vision of minimalism! :D:D:D
amazing bot too!
AfroLaxMan: now i would call this one the rainbow bot! :D:D
welcome in m8
ob: yours just popped in while i was writing these little words.
seriously, it rocks, i just love it. am i wrong or is it some sort of a bathtub on the lower section? rofl. :D

[foster]

Hello sparth and all! This is a wonderful thread. So many robots from so many different heads. Way cool!

This is a quickie and only in black and white.

Jon

[stormeffex]

this thread is awesome...great bots everyone. there's so much energy in these quickies. here's my two cents, hope the image shows up.

http://www.anycities.com/user/stormeffex/images/speed01.jpg

[mcotie]

have you ever noticed how many robots have exposed C3PO style bellies? (including mine)

[Snowfly]

Oblio that it the cutest robot ever!

a fast one and a half hour one.
I don't get it, what techniques do you use to make your speed paintings look good?

http://www.polygods.com/users/snowfly/images/Chalker.jpghttp://www.polygods.com/users/snowfly/images/Wood.jpg

[Grooveholmes]

Your right though. Never crossed my mind till you brought it up MCotie.

[Android]

Awesome job everyone, this is my new favorite thing!

Rinaldo, went to your site, you are unbelivable, love the robot,

MT so prescise and direct, I admire the confidance and creativity you have in your bots,

oblio,cool colors, nice tight little form

afrolax, very vivid

Daarken neat idea, try using more contrast to save time, and reinforce your form

snowfly, I like the lines in the first one, really strong.

Foster, you put the speed in speed painting, WOW!

Sparth great head on the last one

My first two were very up tight, so I made a point to loosen up a bit. I actually had mor fun withthis one.

Sparth thanks for this thread and your inspiring works. Android-wow
This went into the 1.5 range because it's a 1st for me on many levels. I will find my own voice later.

I have only been drawing/painting for a month so this isn't up to par with you guys...but here is my try.

Wetter...I love your paintings man...I especially like the tiny robot one and the tall one where the birds are flying around...great stuff man.

Android...I love what you did with that figure sketch...that's awesome.

Gekitsu...That is awesome! I love the steam engine look of it.

feedback?

[Adam]

negative space - that is awesome!! i wish i could get my colors to look that good - i love it

ornicar - :) i really like it dude - it's got a lot of personality

wetterchneider - how do you do that thing you do? ;) seriously i love the quick/blurry effect your paintings have, it implies a lot of movement (either in the character or the environment) - you da bomb :)

[Wetterschneider]

Adam - it's speed, baby, speed! The softness is a result of adding medium to the image then working it into the color that is already there. In traditional terms, it's wet on wet. In Painter terms - the "resaturation" is controlled by the pen pressure, but the size never changes. This lets me add color with a hard stroke, then work it into the image with a soft stroke.

http://www.artotter.com/Forums/Robot_007.jpg

Wetterschneider I like your last one. Looks like the beggining or end of a artsy short film. Very cool.

so many sensibilites, so many ideas... i could talk about these for hours, but they popped in so fast, it's nearly impossible.

with andrew, we're gonna launch the second subject soon, be ready!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------

an hour. heck, that thing took me so much time. the more i worked on it, the more i felt it escaped from my original idea. anyway... here's the mess

That last one is amazing, the hands are A+
Can't wait for the next topic.

[Wetterschneider]

Yep, Sparth, those are exciting - I dig the multi-purpose plier hands of the first one.

Say, would it be okay to brainstorm the future themes?

Who wouldn't like aliens, giants, mexican wrestlers, or puppies?

[foster]

This took almost an hour! I am not good at this speed thing, but i can see where it might help loosen certain constraints since you have no time for them.

Jon

[daarken]

jon: this is great! i miss seeing your stuff around the boards. heh, if you said this was a 20 min i would have killed you!

sparth: those are totally sweet! i love how you always put the saturated designs on their bodies. great stuff.

page number 6 on the robot thead, totally rocks. Android - kinda a free association method, scribble until you mind starts seeing forms, a fun way to do these. Foster- loose and painterly great color again.Wow. Sparth- orange and black, love the gestural hands.

http://perso.wanadoo.fr/arth/art/stock/sparthbot06small.jpg
android: got inspired to put an "android" frame around that one. the thing was too bright.

keyth: welcome in m8! for a first bot, it's definitely an atmospheric piece. i like it.
pixxX: as usual, you make me wanna take typo lessons.
negativespace: the skeleton arms are very well studied. the head could have been a bit more developed. great job.
Wetterschneider, daarken, davi: ty!
android: this one is my favorite, with the other blue and grey one you did a while ago, the one that looked a bit like the giant scarabs in dark crystal.
jon: that thing is marvelous. simple and full of nostalgia.

if i don't go to sleep, kid will find his father like a bot tomorrow morning. later. :D

[Wetterschneider]

The hard part for me is coming up with things for robots to do. Sparth, asses are hurting from all the kicking you are doing.

Oh my lord. :bow:

[Adam]

sparth - you are really amazing - i love the neon highlights, but i especially love that last one - the color and lighting is just spot on - how do you do it? Is it just practice or is there rules about this stuff? :) that last one is just AWESOME, i love it

[cmortier2002]

Here is my contribution, some kind of bender unit ... 30 min... never have drawed so fast . :)

http://www.ifrance.com/cmortier/drawing/007robotb.jpg

[bengal]

http://www.cafesale.net/bengal/gallery/robot11.jpg

photoshop7 only, 30 minutes approx.

[daarken]

bengal: thats really cool! i like the colors a lot. i just checked out your webpage and you have some very cool stuff. looking forward to more art from you.

[sparth]

http://perso.wanadoo.fr/arth/art/stock/sparthbot07small.jpg

an hour 20 minutes. ouch, that's long, but i just couldn't stop! weeeeeez!

bengal: awesome! and sort of different from the others in your botrabbit collection.
Blankfrank: late thanx :D
Wetterschneider: ouch!! well done! the surgery robotic instruments are feel live and real.
cmortier2002: that's a good start. you could try to make your original sketch (if you have one), appear throughout the paint. it will help you to define the basic outlines.
Adam: both, rules and practice. :D but it differs so much from one illustrator to another. i have been drawing since i was 5. i'm now 31. but still, when you see 20 year old peeps drawing like gods sometimes, it helps you to see your life as short and exiting, (concerning art that is). it's really a passion.
rules: well, some rules i could give you. (very personal)
-try to always make a first basic sketch of the stuff you want to make, forgetting about details that may later appear, and most important, never stick your face on the puter, always try to have a certain distance between the screen or paper, and your eyes.
basically: you have two steps. step one, see the whole thing, and paint only the general forms. make the contrasts first.
step two: you come back on every area, and define the thing. but never begin to add details here and there before knowing how your illustration is gonna look like at the end.

ouch, long blabla :D

JSR aka Living Rope

[killing.people]

sparth that is gorgeous! the atmoshpere is awesome. it not only implies a sense of distance with fog, but it also looks as if there is a plane of focus! that is cool, i dont know if you try for things like that or if you have communicated it subconciously (which i could see happening alot with an experienced artist). great work, you are an awesome artist. i never knew, we never got to see much of your stuff.

-killings

[nick reynolds]

hehe awesome.

living rope:
you are a very talented artist and i cant wait to see more. Your style is a little well.... not for the youngens... great work love the site. The rope is very .... i cant think of a good enough word. So sub out a better word along the lines of "cool"

mcotie - that is awesome :)

a little over 30 minutes, i think, in PS6 - the nose is funky but i like the overall effect - inspired by that thing from Hitchhiker's, the thing that always gets killed in all his diff. incarnations or whatever - Douglas Adam's description of the teeth cutting the character was too vivid to put out of mind for very long...

[taff]

more of an speed-drawing, but i think it fits.

[killing.people]

they dont call me professor for nothin:

i have an idea for the next speed painting thread.
how about a post-apocolyptic monster of any shape, size, ect. :)

[taff]

i think you are risking your title!! :p ;)

[killing.people]

i fixed it calm down..

[Oblio]

how about Alien Hookers - like the one Keyth did.
That would be sick :D
Make sexy monseters.
Forget that.. sparth knows better :D

calm down? I wasn't stirred up or anything? :confused:

[Aleksi]

Hi !
Fresh newcomer in this thread, I was truly amazed by the stuff shown here!
With such terrific artwork, I felt a real pulsion to try the same speedpainting exercise :)

Photoshop, certainly more than 40mn
I add some graphic design ( not totally happy with, I'm not sure it was necessary )

A friend of mine walee.com (http://www.walee.com) , excellent 3d modeler made the mesh


http://walee.free.fr/temp/aleksi/aleksi_waleebot.jpg http://walee.free.fr/temp/aleksi/walee_waleebot.jpg

[Aleksi]

another one
i spend less time, maybe 30 mn

how do ya'll get such pretty textures with your speed paintings!


btw the next topic better be "girls with boobs" or I am so outttttttaaaaaaaheeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrreeeeeeeeee

[Sketch]

Welcome aboard Aleski. All of those rock. Especially the last one.

[prismacolor]

Holy-smokes there's some great robots here!!!
all the different styles and "takes" are so good to see.
Sparth - thanks especially for all the robots :rock:

I've been wildly experimenting (for me :) ). This is a great place to do it. All of mine have started as broad stroke scribbles. I just scribble and erase and add layers until I start to see shapes that make me think of something. I'm trying new brushes and different variants, etc. Unlike Sparth, I have no idea where they're going to end up when I start. Sometimes they sort of work and sometimes they don't. Sometimes they're just odd. Along the way with the ones I've done here there were a few things I 've liked that may find their way into my regular work.

[MindCandyMan]

Adam: I love that one...great job. Really awesome style.

[sparth]

Wetterschneider: great one !
Living Rope: good to see you there m8.
killing.people: thanx for your kind comments m8, trying to do my best. i guess my own way in order to accomplish better stuff every day is to analyse the realistic aspects of life, objects, backgrounds, and retranslate them within my art. it's a never ending task, but it's so much a passion.
mcotie: nice. using a ballpoint pen is a very difficult task . don't even ask me to do so, i'll make the shittiest thing ever!
taff: very nice study really. nice tones, a atmospheric image.
aleksi: your own destiny was to come on CA and post your awesome stuff. it was written!! hehe :D
glad to see some of your newest stuff, it's been a while since we didn't have a chat.... welcome aboard.
Oblio: finding themes will not be easy, as it will not please everybody, but andrew is preparing a nice little subject for soon.
prismacolor: this one is excellent. blobesque cyber creature! i love it.
Adam: even though the overall "design" is confused, this image is atmospheric, and you succeeded in putting quite a feeling in it. keep it up.

good work peeps.

[Manta_Ray]

So, wait a minute...Sparth...when you do a sketch for 40 mins does that include time for pencil sketching on paper and then onto computer or do you just start straight out on computer?

Does any of this require references or is it straight from your imagination?

To everyone...all the work is great, alot of people putting their work on the line forgoing their egos..brill. Inspiring.

Cheers

There's no place on this board to put up a few speedies, except in sketches, and they don't quite fit there.

[jezelf]

nice moody pic there, Wetterschneider.

Ok, subject to my earlier post - I felt I wasn't playing game, by putting up an old picture, so here's one done especially for this thread.

deliberatly making it a non-humanoid form (thinking of function than mimickary of our race)- I guess it ended up as a bug! some scout droid thingy...

an insectoid bot!
i forced myself not to add two cutes eyes, and remained serious.
around 1h20.
i will have to reconsider my own speed for the next themes.

[cmortier2002]

Sparth, you're a drawing machine :D The insectoid bot is incredible !

[sparth]

a few thanx:

even though this thread is theorically never going to have any end, i wanted to thanx all of you peeps who have participated, and who will participate in the near future.

AND: eternal thanx for having created this area, and making it live with your art and amazing female/scannerized/metroid/gothic bot concepts.
second thanx for ............. having inspired me with your black frame. :D

_______________________________________

on the last bots:

Death.By.Pencil: you're having a very nice rythms with these bots. you could probably try to stretch the images a bit. more viewing pleasure. i love the mechaturtle too.
sym7: last one is very atmospheric, very nice compo too.
the huge spider is impressive too. and yet the whole thing remains so simple, very nice.
sketchyjay: the visual "passage" is a bit blocked because of the thick black outline. may be best to keep a link between the background and foreground. keep it up.
jezelf: very rapid, nervous sketches. i love that barbecue anecdote on the last one.
ecsdesign: i just love it. foggy atmospheric electronics.
.:RAPUNZEL:.: second one is very interesting. with a mouse? oh my.
Wetterschneider: as usual, it rocks
oblio: this thing is the weirdest thing ever! rofl
Wizard of KOZ: try to maybe break the symetry in the next ones, for exemple, turm the bot on one side or the other, it will help. symetric compos are (most of the time, but not always) less interesting than non symetrical ones. keep it up.


great work peeps.:D

I second your Thanks Sparth, this had been alot of fun and its great to see so much participation and creativity. I cant wait to see what visions the next theme will inspire.

ooo great work everyone
i wish sparta would do a robot-a-day forum, Beatiful stuff. I've saved EVERY one of his.

Can't wait for the new theme also!

:nudges android really hard:

[jezelf]

hi Sparth.

thanks for your comments. I don't really like my last 2 - espeically the last one - probably make some evolution of it sometime, though. Im not much of a speed artist. I prefer to invest in the time to create something rather than anything - my brain just doesnt work fast enough, as I usually question the concept's worth all the time, often scrapping images before they are a minute's sketch old.

I also like to challenge myself to do the opposite than is expected all the time - just to create a new idea new shapes - search for a new direction that is not seen before - at the same time make sure it makes sense.

Though Im crap at speed painting, it is certianly a good exercise to get the old grey matter working better. I'll certianly post a few more pictures soon.

it's good seeing everyone else's work - inspirational stuff.

cheers

Great jop,everyone!
If this is end of ``Robots`` theme,here is one of

to post instead him.It`s done in 7 days 5 h and 34min:D :D :D Really fast:)) but hey look that
piece!

I must say that this piece is not done to
do mockery or disprage of September 11th 2001,
if somebody think it is.It was joke about army robots experiments,
and on the flag there is caption which says:``It`s wrong town
you idiot!!!``
Sorry,maybe now this joke it`s tasteless.

[sketchyjay]

Thanks for the suggestion Sparth, but what is the visual passage?

If I go for an pen and ink look does that mean the background should also have pen and ink or do you mean that I should remove lines all together?

Ok guys lets finish out the weekend with Robots, so anybody that has been lurking in the twilight this is your invite to get your robots posted while it still holds center spotlight.

the next theme will begin monday, Ive been in contact with my favotire eat poo regular and he will help me introduce the new thread. i wont tell you who he is yet but his work is one of a kind, and he really likes bunnies.

keep an eye out monday for his work and the new theme. but until then keep the bots a marching.

sweet dreams:D

[Blankfrank]

thx to N.C...Captain Bill Bones revisited.

http://www.leeillo.com/cgart/Speedbot7.jpg

[sparth]

jezelf: wether the concept is good or not, it doesn't change a thing to the drawing quality. and the opposite is true too. incredible concepts can be explained with the crappiest drawing ever.
concerning both aspects, if you decided to create the worst piece ever, no matter how you'll draw it, there would still be your fine style and pro technique in the final work. you can't escape from your own background and professionalism.

blankfrank: i especially love this one.

sketchyjay: visual passage: can't really translate it properly. it's just that when your eyes wander around a drawing or painting, they follow the rythms given by the forms. if these forms are too "blocked", if they don't let the light pass, your drawing becomes too closed. it doesn't breathe enough. yes i know, hard concept to understand, and mostly, hard to explain. the fact is, the eye observing a painting is like the eye looking out the window. your aim is to search for light.
your choice to let the background free of any line art is the right choice. it's just a question of final rendering i guess.

davi: a robot a day forum would be fine, but i'd be scared not beeing able to have that andrew daily consistency! :D

cmortier2002: tx m8. :D

Loga4: true, it's funny how our views of such building destructions has changed since sept11. went straight into our collective visual traumas! :D:D

he likes bunnies =O

sparth - totally agree. :)

Im often not happy with my own work - don't think it punches through the norm enough. with this thread I lm trying to get away from 'humanoid' robots. robots dont have to be confined to the human anatomy (though you can of coruse argue that the human form as evolved for a reson!) - I want to explore ways a machine can look like with thought to it's function first.

I hope to get a couple more pics done later, after work, just for fun, before we concentrate our efforts onto another speed thread (mythological creatures? (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1310) )

LOL, Forgive me, caught me sort of funny. First a great painting, but what caught me funny was this. As a POrtrait Artist I have paintings that have lasted me months.

So when we do one in a day we consider that a speed painting.

45 minutes is not a speed painting its a blink of the eye.... thats fast, very well done.

BTW, just how fast must it be to qualify here as a speed painting?

This thread rocks, and I thought I should try my hand at robots and speed-painting, since I haven't before. I like it! It makes me feel good. And here's the first outcome. Another dance-bot. Any comments/critiques would be helpful. Thanks!

I've just found this forum... great work and very inspiring

This thread is cool. I registered just to have a go! These are speed sketches as opposed to paintings but I guess all mediums are okay. Anyway, these took about 20-25 mins each. Each one is a small sketch (ink), marker and a couple of ps highlights.
