time for .....THE MAGICIANS

[sparth]

first of all, a big sorry for being so late on the next theme.

i wanted to introduce this new theme with an image from mister HardCorePixx (http://hpx1.free.fr/) , who has been an absolutely amazing, (and very active) speed painter during this year.

indeed, it is time to imagine MAGICIANS !
no matter the style, from merlin to gandalf, from excalibur to the lord of the rings, from john boorman to peter jackson, there's a million way to conceive these beings.

http://hpx1.free.fr/modules/My_eGallery/gallery/rough/gandalf.jpg

let the magic occur!

[StephenC]

here ya go...first time in painter, with a mouse! 20 min. horrible but pretty fun though!

Great topic too.

These first entries are really inspiring too! Kripes... Maybe I'll whipp something up after i get some sleep....

[I.was.ink]

hey, what about an action theme or fighting theme. I'd like to see that and great job sparth. I love all ur stuff, ur so inspirational. just a small ? when u paint, do u do it in photoshop or painter? and do u start by blocking in figue nad then do background or vise versa. can u vaguely explain? just a quick one, thanks!!! what was the process u went through for the painting up top?

[Oblio]

check out the member demos area - he has a tutorial right there... ;)
Hey Sparth.. ca va? I'm in deep shit but.. hey.. magic works all around. I'll do the dream one too but... time is short for me.
No more Sp's for you eh?

[Nivbed]

I thought I give this wizard thing a whirl.

About 1 1/2 hours in Painter. I would have been done in like 45 minutes, but I changed the composition when I was done, and then the next 45 minutes were spent fixing it.

here is my attempt at it ...

I spent about 1h30 on it .... too long for the result ... but i might try to finish it.

http://erhnam.free.fr/magician2b.jpg

comments and crits are welcome, since i'm really wanting to improve in this kind of work (speed study of colors and values)


edit : well i worked a bit more on it, so its 2h00 instead of 1h30 .... but its much better now i guess

[Jaku]

20mins, during a break at work...

i don't know if you are allowed to post late - but here goes anyway...i like the concept, but i am still not happy with the execution of it... but if i worked it any longer it wouldn't be a speed thing - which took me a little over an hour. not very speedy - but i kept on ruining it .

more magi than magician - he gets his power from God.
