DEADLINE: Monday, January 16th, 2012

[Jarkuzy]

Happy New Year 2012 everyone!!
- wip

[Panshi]

This is a kickass topic. I guess 'desert' refers more to the landscape than to the ship, but since I was curious about rendering ice/water interaction, I placed the scene in a sort of isolated cove instead of a dry place.

[Pixeltuner]

woopwoop :)

[8smoku8]

My first attempt to E.O.W. so hope u like it:)

[Shorinji_Knight]

Cool stuff... I think I might try my hand at this one.

[udonhead]

this is going to be interesting

[Makrozon]

The moment I read the title I knew I'm in.

[hekatoncheir]

Ah! This topic is FANTASTIC! It reminds me of a few of my favourite pieces by Aivazovsky, Church, and Caspar Friedrich!

Aivazovsky's paintings are particularly magnificent references for man o' wars and maritime landscapes. Church's iceberg paintings will top any photograph from Antarctica in my opinion...

Hope these old timers inspire! As they always do of course :bounce:.

[SeverdHead]

woah those paintings are really rad! good inspiration.

heres my wip... coming very slowly.

[Pixeltuner]

hekatoncheir: I got a comment on similarities with Friedrich as well when I posted my wip on facebook. I'm ashamed to say I wasn't really familiar with his work because it's fantastic stuff :)

[Jabo]

First digital sketch based on some scribbles on paper. The Terror by Dan Simmons is a great reference read for this topic (if you can read fast, you might be able to finish the 1000p book before the deadline) ;)

[ex-machina]

I wasn't quite happy with my concept, so...tried to go more the classical way
with a "normal" ship
WiP:
1393934

[penciltipred]

weird just about everyones is read from right to left or the head of the ship is left

[Rob Powell]

I'm gonna see if I can finish an environment for once, lol...
atm I'm more worried about the composition, everything else is very sucky.

[Shorinji_Knight]

The bar on this round was set pretty high on the first day thanks to Panshi (He's really a robot in diguise), but that's good. I've been seeing alot of cool ideas starting to show up here.

My Update...

[GregFeet]

WIP it rlll guudddddd.

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y73/SaboteurGreg/ArcticShipwreck_002.png

[Mandavar]

Here is my update, trying to do a spaceship/saucer being revealed from the ice. first time doing the Environment of the week, so far having a blast!

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a375/luisgdeadeye/crashedship.jpg

[melman]

Wow! Nice stuff everybody!

[unruhe]

Fun topic and great entries/ideas!

My sketch so far

[Nick.M]

Like many, it's my first EotW - so I hope I don't screw anything up :P
I love all of the entries/WIPs so far - particularly Panshi's and Pixeltuner's

Well, here goes nothing!

[Animare]

Having a shot at this too. My quick first sketch.

[JanJager]

Great stuff in here.
Cant resist the diggin in to the forms and shapes of the ice.

[Dm7]

Here's my first try! :D Please bear with me if I make mistakes...

[Timmi-o-Tool]

In progress...

[Ryvax]

Pixeltuner> looking great, very cinematic!
hekatoncheir> great paintings!! thanks for that!

Timmi-o-Tool > Good start!!

my WIP..

[Corrick]

Whip

http://williamwerk.com/art/wreck.jpg

[Rob Powell]

Looking awesome guys!

scrapped my last one and had a better idea, also approached it a differently, looks much better...I'm a beginner when it comes to enviros so I'm gonna try and keep things fairly simple for the time being, if I feel the need I can add other things to it later...but I definitely need some kind of foreground element in this one...

[AdrianNagorski]

I missed a few of you sorry guys, i'll try edit in more comments later

Rob:
Good to see you around here parts! your secound one is starting out good remember about the false perseption of depth, thats a trick for landscapes.
things are less saturated the farther they are etc, your sort of setting that up it seems. . . .

Ryvax:
liking the sun setish effect, pretty cool

Timmi-o-Tool:
liking the passage way tunnel thru your ship!

Dm7:
pretty abstract, but so much potential here, its almost like a sci-fi painting, keep just hammering the shapes out eventually youll find yourself at a point
where you can start going into little details

JanJager:
like the smoke like apparence of the ice/snow at the right base of the ship, like cream, a sort of hint where you are heading with this???

Animare:
potential in this one.

Nick.M:
everybody is doing a ship thats been there for years, i like your original approach of the ship just being wrecked, not sure if it fits with the breif but it seems like it.
the northen lights are a great touch.

unruhe:
great set up, multiple ship wrecks is also what im going for. i want to see more MORE!!!!!

melman:
loving the distruction and lighting + scale.

Mandavar:
nice original idea, its just hard to see the ship form and how its halled out of the ice. but the scale is great.

Panshi:
Love it, but the sides make this seem like a cavern, wouldnt it be better to make it panaramic, taking the sides out and just extending the background to infinity in the sides
you could eventually make a whole civilazation in destroyed ships in the background. Insane scale by the way EPIC HUGE!!

Makrozon:
on the cliffs edge!! Great, makes me wonder what other possible elements you could add in this? helicopters?? cant wait to see more

Shorinji_Knight:
finally somebody doing a old scunner, tho its hard to see it being a wreck looks like its playing bumper cars with the icebergs, the polar bear is a bit too big, makes the ship look really smale in scale for the type of ship that it actually is.

8smoku8:
looking good, the footspets of the two folks approaching the ship, rather than using black lines maybe try dark blue blobs, snow sort of melts when you walk on top of it making water, therefore blue colour????

Pixeltuner:
liking the ship structure, not sure but the clouds in the far background might not fit in with the blizzard snow flakes in the fore ground???

Only started painting with Acrylics last week, thought id try this one that way.
its suppose to be a freight ship toppled on its side half buried, with containers sproon across the tundra, once the paint dries for sure, i'll scan and post. might use the scanned image in photo shop and turn it in to a panoramic landscape, seems to compressed right now on the A5 Budweiser 6 pack cardboard carrier

[melman]

Everybody are doing awesome! some high activity in this topic=))

[paperhead]

here's my piece of junk lost in the arctic

[Pixeltuner]

Corrick: Epic. Very nice sense of scale!
Timmi-O-Tool: I like the movement in this one. The way the ice curls gives it an almost Munch like quality. If you pull that through in the cloud shapes as well you'll have a really nice flowing piece of art :)
Nick-M: A night scene with some northern lights eh? Makes it stand out immediately from the rest of us white ice blue skies nutters :) Make it happen!

[0Hayes]

Really liking this topic and its entries. here's mine so far:

[Stinkfist]

[Shorinji_Knight]

Wow some crazy good stuff showing up here!
AdrianNagorski: Thank you! My wife pointed out the same thing. I tried to fix that.

Here's where I'm at so far...

[Tea of Doom]

I'm in!

My first EOW, here's a wip.

[AdrianNagorski]

so the dried acrylic thumbnail on cardboard packaging from a 6 pack of Budweiser (no one finds that funny?),
now to go to A4 canvas and make major changes . . .:lifedrawing:

[melman]

Added some scale and atmosphere.

[Androno]

Hi everybody! Great stuff!
Here is my wip. Inspired by "The Terror" by Dan Simmons.

[android411]

happy new year everyone, here´s my wip

[Migsta]

FINAL.

Some cool stuff so far!

[paperhead]

FINAL

[Pixeltuner]

paperhead: Nice!

Tried some different stuff on mine. Angled the composition a bit, some vertical spikes to break it a bit more, different colourscheme and a bit more story. And more stylization and abstraction on the environment itself.

[DrZero]

WIP 1

[Ryvax]

Corrick> impressive sense of scale!

PixelTuner: liking the new elements adding to the story, but I think the composition is less efficient than before.. their placement attracts the eye too far from the focal point imo, vertical spikes dragging eyes to the right, and the flare very close to the top edge..

Little update, starting to be more happy with the compo and color (struggled to get out of the blue monochrome!!) need to fix the drawing now!

[MatejaPetkovic]

yeah, uh dark ice, i'll make it lighter i think

M

[grenogs]

wip ...........

day or night....hmmmm..........

[blazinwolf]

awesome topic
1396128
here's my little doodle.. I had an idea of a ship being squeezed between to icebergs... sun rising on the top, with some of cave of cove underneath... :) let's see how this goes!

[DrZero]

Great work so far everyone

FINAL

[Pixeltuner]

Mateja: Looks more volcanic atm indeed :p

[unruhe]

Wow, lots of activity in this topic!

Update from my sketch...dont know if I should ditch the chain in the foreground or not

[Shorinji_Knight]

unruhe: I'd ditch the chain. It's too perfectly centered and takes all of the dynamics out of your composition. I think you need some element there instead, just to the left of where the chain currently is, but I don't know what. Otherwise looking good.

[Rob Powell]

I'll call this my Final for now...if I decide to continue working on it, I'll post the update...

'Look! A ship! It looks like one of those icebreakers.'

'What could've happened?'

'I don't know, but the ship still has power.'

'But it must have been here for years. There's no way it could still have power.'

'C'mon! There could still be someone on board.'

'Something doesn't quite seem right'...

[Urötskidoji]

So I´m back after a little break from this site, and I wanted to test out my new skills with this comp. Really cool topic, I thought I´d take it and move it into a kind of horror setting.

MatejaPetkovic, ChaosTheory, xbert, really inspiriational work all of you :)

[MatejaPetkovic]

@xbert, thanks man, yours definitely have my vote, beautifully painted!
Do you have high res version, would like to have it for inspiration?

[Tea of Doom]

Nice work everyone.

Xbert, that lighting is awesome. Requesting pic as well :P

Mateja, looking good.

Mhugo, good start, want to see more.

Ok so here's the progress on mine. Felt that first wip was boring, so changed the scale, added icy path, changed lighting, added some destruction. Still not entirely satisfied with it so.... back to work.

[Incinerated]

here ya go... Very nice round
1397669

[Makrozon]

Final.
A famous lost nuclear powered icebreaker it's finally found. Just don't ask me how it got up there :D

[Sushy]

[Incinerated]

breath taking work guys... Good job!

thats all folks

[Urötskidoji]

Final!

[joshualyness]

Guys these pictures are amazing, ima go get started on mine :)

[frozen-scumbag]

Hello. I've never done one of these so I thought I'd give it a shot.

[Penpoint]

An idea...

[Tea of Doom]

final.

It has now been six and a half days that the carcass of the USS-Intrepid was lying in the middle of nowhere. The water that had occupied the ballast tanks had frozen to the point of breaching the hull, and the adverse weather conditions had only worsened the situation.

The remaining members of the crew had managed to build a camp at the foot of the wreckage. Out of provisions and with only one signal flare remaining, the four men were now considering their last move.

[DeadAstronaut]

First post ever on ConceptArt.org!!!

Trying to teach myself how to do this. Help please!

Thanks!

[Pixeltuner]

Crap, gone for a couple of days and this thread gets full of awesome :)

Xbert and Mateja: Great stuff!

[xbert]

the quality in this thread already is amazing!

[unruhe]

Lots of entries, this topic is rocking hard with so much variation and style...great.

My final
This became a color and mood study, learned lots...but i am leaving this stylised style for what it is.

[merl1n]

Hey, great stuff everyone.

my wip

[Dm7]

Wow you guys! This is epic! Now I feel so little. I almost did gave up because you all are too good haha, but then I have figured out that I will never learn if I don't even give it my best try. So, please give me some crits. Here we go...

http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/x374/random7878/shipwreck8.jpg

[Esterk]

Fun topic, and some awesome entries so far! I've never done a EoW, first time.

Here's a WIP:

http://i630.photobucket.com/albums/uu28/esterk723/sbp_shipwreck-1.jpg

Want to get more depth going on, so I'll have to get some more color in there, it's pretty basic right now. But I wanted to try doing a vertical composition instead of horizontal.

Keep it going!

[AdrianNagorski]

Wip number 2, using the acrylic painting i did + photoshop.

[jonafunart]

Think I'll go with this one instead of the ideas I had before

[Incinerated]

This is definately one of the best rounds i've seen ever done in the EoW setting... I am pleased.

[jonafunart]

Update, might be finished, not sure :)

[AdrianNagorski]

My Final
1400081

[LoftyNz]

new update needs more contrast to define the fore/mid/background started to add some detail to the ship

[Androno]

Update

[Panshi]

Incredible art guys, Xbert, the ghostly mood of your piece is very convincing, and MatejaPetkovic, yours is plain stunning :cheerleader:

So here's my final, not much time spent on it but here we go.

Thanks for watching,

All the best.

[merl1n]

My final:
