DSG 310: phrase: "And the snow closed in around...."

Interpret that statement in any way you can. Could be characters, could be an environment, anything is possible with this one. Have fun with it.

[juicy_fruit]

I really should use a reference...

[0kelvin]

My first DSG. I'll definitely be doing this again, I had a lot of fun.

I'm sure I won't be the only one with this idea, but hey, I did it first and that's what matters. I'm really getting the hang of my new tablet.

I know, I know, I totally screwed up the snowmen anatomy.

Very simple this time - 10 minutes or so.

[Wundergeek]

Okelvin: That rocks! Murderous snowmen!

I think your snowman anatomy looks good to me. :D

[Gumdrop]

Been around 4 or 5 months since I last DSG'd, but this year I intend to get my priorities in order. And the forum colour scheme even compliments my sketch! :D

Since I have been doing a lot of dark b/w pieces lately I decided to do a 180 and pull off a fun and light piece. This took about three hours in Adobe Illustrator 10.

0Kelvin- I love that piece! I'ld love to see it fully developed!

getting a bit cold in here

[Gumdrop]

Rockhead - Love the colours on that. Looks kinda like a 3D cardboard scene.

Shiro - Very cool (pun?) first piece. Welcome.

[phantom_head]

the first thing that came to my mind were the old vogue covers from the 30's/40's...

not quite finished yet, but it'll do for now, i hope

[dfacto]

Stay out of the old forest. Stabbing monkey's live there. BeWaRe...


Well, this is the first DSG that I have done that didn't take me at least 40 minutes.
http://img6.photobucket.com/albums/v19/dfunkt/310_copy.jpg

Phantom_Head - Nice pic. I like the atmosphere it projects, but what is with her reflection? '_'

[SABRE]

MY TURN!! XP

[dfacto]

:eek: Sabre, you're a sicko.:eek:

;)

[Rockhead]

Oh man Sabre, I know this is probably the wrong response but when I scrolled down and saw that I started laughing out loud! Great piece.

nBT- yeah about 3 hours, I just draw everything directly in Illustrator, no previous sketch or anything, I just use the good ol' pencil tool and the occasional elipse tool. And if you hold down the alt button with the pencil tool it becomes a smoothing tool to get nice round edges.

Gumdrop- thanks! I remember trying to do pics like this when I was younger by actually cutting them out of board and construction paper and it took forever, Illustrator makes it a heck of a lot faster (and cleaner).

These are some really cool pieces today, DSG keeps getting better and better.

[juicy_fruit]

rockhead.. that site in your signature rockydavies or somethin.. when u go to kitchen if you see it says secret.. well while ur in there click the guys red nose i believe thats the secret.. a site full of avatars lol

[Dementist]

End: Great shot, lots of emotion.

Plaf: Heh, heh... Very "Death by Gelatinous Cube."

[Rockhead]

Mike that's awesome! Good job on the colors, good feel for it transitioning from warmer to freezing. Here's another one in my pen style.
http://www.rockydavies.com/forreview/snowhunter.jpg
juicy_fruit- You found that one!?! I think you are the first one to ever find that, I made that site as a joke for my friend, I told him I'ld make the worst site possible for him, he's the one in the pic. Did you hear the music?

[juicy_fruit]

rock.. my comps usually on mute.. i dint here it but that secrets freaky and i found it in a second.. i was only at the site like 5 mins lol.. its good stuff their.. oh and about mikes last pic.. its not lightning as u can see in the 4th he comes up to like a thing.. thats wat it is.. exept its darker when u go in and thats the outside light..

but ill revisit the secret and listen to the music

[juicy_fruit]

oh... my... god.........that music is soo fruity its not even funny...lol

[BlkCelebration]

Another challenging topic for me.... this is what I came up with...

Rho: I really dig the images within the piece, that hand print was a nice touch.

[juicy_fruit]

just in time BlkCelebration
i was watchin the clock lol very nice piece..exellent how you used the black with red.. im my time spot u jus made it that was sweet

[Rockhead]

Mike- the characters roughly translate to "the cold brings death strong pig" or so my translator tells me... I just like doing oriental characters, I guess the black and white pieces always feel asian to me for some reason. Macintosh computers come with a built in translator that translates english into about twelve other languages. It mangles most in the process I'm told.:D

I really like EndDrive999's feeling of fear. Many other good ones today.

[silentbrain]

unintentionally similar to nBT's

'tis actually meant to be a small outpost that wasn't ready for what happened (the heavy snow), but /me realized about a third of the way through that it looks like a crashed snowspeeder!

Sigh and all that...
