Figured I should get back to these as I have barely been doing any drawing otherwise. Brraaaaiiiinnnsssss.

So a priest and a rabbi wander into a black forest...

Mikecorriero- looked up Bull Mastif on google, looks like a real cutie pie. Me, I'd skip dsg for a day to play with a pup :D
Hope you will be able to post something too, you wascaly wabbit!

(okay, so I should lay off the coffee. Looking forward to today's pics people! :chug: )

This one is Caspar David Friedrich inspired.

WOW Hermchen,
thats an awesome piece you got there.

*bows down*

[Sapphire]

I'm always so impressed with people who can just whip out an environment early in the morning and it's better than I could pull off if I tinkered with it for hours.

Hermchen, that's great... you seem to have used fairly simple swaths of color and it looks great, like an illustration in a faerie tale book.

Maybe I'll do one today...if I can make myself. :)

Good stuff already.

Haven't been posting lately, but I've been lurking at least. My job is boring (and stupid), so I did this to kill time... with a mouse. ugh, I like my wacom.

[Wundergeek]

Holy cow. The level of art on this forum is amazing enough, but *everyone* has really outdone themselves today! I'll have to work really hard on this one...

[OLSEN]

I worked some more on mine, it´s finished although it could use some more work. Fun topic.

Olsen, I dig this one! It makes me want to see more detail now, though.

ok theres a dark forrest and a haunted hotel. 20 mins gouache wash on too thin paper + some sepia/charcoal strokes. i had this gouache lying around and i was using it for work. fun thing is you can just wet it and use it agian - you cant with acrylics. so this will be lying around all week. and it was reel fun to do. its da vibe.

nice submissions all. ill crit all tomorrow. promis.

[Kexe]

Woow!
There's some really nice ones today

OLSEN: I really like the colors/mood gj

Nice work everyone

I usually avoid environment art like the plauge but I thought that I should make the effort to start. I was going for mood more then technique. :barf:

Some really good work today.

[treeboy]

first dsg, thought a random motel in middle of forest was interesting...

pretty quick, 30min or so, PScs

Im not too fond of quick painting, but im getting better :)

[Happy Camper]

Wow. Some seriously Awesome stuff guys. :chug:

After taking a 2nd and 3rd look at my pic I've realised how blurry and un-textured it is. So for the next dsg I'll try making a sharper, more textured image. :p

[OLSEN]

@White C: yea, i use painter, or painter uses me, sometimes im not sure. :)

I tried using Alias Sketch Pro with this. I will never use that again...

I just love Hermchen's

[plaf]

whiteC: you blow my mind, man. lighting in that one is so nice. now there's body fluids all over the place.

[Gumdrop]

Wanted to participate but didn't have time in the end (cat/vet=money) but so far this has been one of the best turnouts for a topic. Uber sweet from all corners. Impressive stuff. Thanks for the viewing pleasure! :cool:

[shadoman]

Whew... just made it!

WhiteC - OMG! That is so amazing!
Olsen - The depth and colors in yours f-ing rock!
Antilight77 - It just feels like you could drive down that road.
Silentbrain - I love the light from the hiker.
Hermchen - Insane! I Can't even get the words out...

[silentbrain]

Hey, cool works peoples, and thanks those who commented.

Wundergeek- actually, dsg starts around 6pm each day for me where I am at, and it was only 8pm when I did mine XD

nbt- what a crock! silentbrain doesn't deserve higher than a 4, The louse!

[DV8]

Quick one... WhiteC yours is amazing- great job. I am envious.

@ nBT: :rolleyes: Yeah, that's fairly typical of me. I wasn't to worried about design, I was just trying to practice my digital painting ('cause I obviously need it). Thanx for the rating though, not enough ppl do it so it's hard to tell if your improving or not. Everybody tends to give broad "that's good" or "nice work". I'm guilty of it myself.
