Sparth: there is a good reason that you carry a trophy of a enviro-master.

I silently followed your progression while great envy-growths darkened my admiring of your skills. I saw your tutorials on the web and also got a copy of the recent book (my work is on the page 59) but still can't find the way you master your magic brushes. I'm far away from all the MB workshops, so this is the only place for me to learn.
Any chance of sharing these secrets with me and the others?

P.S.- I assume, you just lost your dog, right? Sorry about that...

Anyway, big respect and best regards,

[Kan Muftić]

And here, a little contribute from me to this thread again.

gorgeoue as always, sparth :) I really love the simple stylisation and design mixed with the wicked textures. Just whats needed and nothing extraneous. Its this 'shorthand' for what we see around us thats the most fun to paint and to view. Also the hardest I think. Very inspiring stuff. :)

Edit: New host. hope it works.

[Johnnyhorse]

Wow pringle, it's amazing what a little fog/haze and some birds can add to the piece.

The structures are fun to interpret, and the ground is wonderfully rocky, but the surface the man is standing on is a little vague (and his legs seem a little off). Attending to the upper-left sky and killing those brush textures would probably help suspend the imagination of the viewer a little more as well.

[sparth]

pringle fabulous piece!
and yes, you should add more light to the foreground i guess, in order to also emphasize the subject. but man it's great.

sparth

[pringle]

Thanks for the critique guys, I appreciate it. You are right about emphazising the ground and subject. And yeah, the legs are all crooked. I'll look into it!

Ps: looking forward to you book sparth.

very nice enviros photeck121. On that last one, did u use brushes + quickmask then paint into the quickmask? i'm just curious, cause u got some nice textures goin on there.
Kait, that last one u posted is pretty cool, i really like the colors in it.

Hi folks,

The quality level of this thread is encreasing in a scary way:)

Here are some of the samples of a recent workshop that i gave for a film school (Matte Painting fundamentals):

http://www.streamatica.ch/sketchbook/matte_excercise_02.jpg

http://www.streamatica.ch/sketchbook/matte_excercise_01.jpg

http://www.streamatica.ch/sketchbook/matte_excercise_03.jpg

It was about understanding and respecting the given footage and extending shots based on the realistic photography.

And unfortunately, i didn't want to use any custom brushes. Basically two layers: original shot and the paintover, that's it.

Keep inspiring me guys.

Best,


Best regards,

Khan

This WILL help, believe me.

Have a good one,

Holy shit, sparth posted here. That makes me smile like an emo kid that just won a lifetime supply of black hair-dye and razors.

Hi mr Sparth, man of cool quick masterful sci-fi environments

the fact that you posted here inspires me to wanna be like you and do a picture

then post it

and hope it makes me feel cool, like a ninja

and give me ninja-environment skills too.

Seriously I love to see recognizable (and invisible) pros on the forums, thanks for posting.


ps:
You're much higher than a level 7 Gladiator in my book. And my book has sold more copies than the bible. King James sends me death threats all the time.


pss:
and you know you just want me to start doing environments so I can unlock my laughably omnipotent powers. Which you will steal, very dynamicaly.

[Longxiang]

How are you guys doing those fabulous textures?

this my entry for E.O.W "waterfall city" but my twist on it was a chocolate waterfall:)!

"welcome! to choc chip falls!choc chip falls is an island hovering somewhere over the state of wisconsin. at choc chip falls you will have a wonderfull time, proclaimed as willy wonka meets E.O.W EVERYTHING YOU SEE IS EDIBLE! from the grass to the buildings and a lickable strawberry and marshmellow flavour bridge. the main feature of choc chip falls is of course the CHOCOLATE WATERFALL! a continuous flow of liquid milk chocolate which crashes down into a delicious lake of chcolate.the clouds are self regenerating marshmellows! so eat all you can and you wont make a dent in the clouds. REVEL IN OBESITY AT CHOC CHIP FALLS!"

Sketchiling... how can I tempt you back to EOW?

and 3d is cool... anyway you can get the idea out there is great!

[Cthogua]

Sparth: Incredible, unique shapes and compositions as usual. I really dig the change up in...shape language. Its beautiful how a couple of interesting shapes, used properly can define a whole design style.

Pringle: I squinted with the anticipation of rain hitting my eyes on that first piece. AWESOME. I don't know what it is, but I always hear a sound track in my head when I see your pieces. Something dark and ambient.

I've been really pushing to improve my environment skills lately...heres the latest attempt. I realize the perspective on the castle is a bit wonkey, I'll probably return to this piece fix that perspective and tighten up the castle a wee bit.

Here are some speedos I did a while ago and recently. I nicked your idea with oddly shaped hills for one of the pictures, Sparth.

[junthi]

Thanks Sparth. Your stuff is very dynamic! You must have a nice and fast work flow. I don't really have a good routine for this digital painting thing, since I have only done it 6 months or so. I guess I just have to start doing speedpaintings.

Sure, chaos, be my guest. It would be cool!

Crazy tunnel-city, Sparths dark planets and this Dali-lilke elephant-thing...

the image is a complete mystery to me, thats why i like it so much, i have no idea what they are celebrating or even if it was a celebration.

i found another image of the event, soo beautiful with the colour and the vibrancy. i'm sure you'l agree.

makes me want to paint it.

http://www.members.optusnet.com.au/drummonds/elefant2.jpg

[junthi]

I believe those pictures are from India and they are celebrating Ganesha. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganesha

[Hideyoshi]

Sparth, Alti (love the 2nd!), Photeck ("Concept-on-Mac", right? :) ), junthi: all great!!

Sparth: It's cool to see how you're drifting towards abstact art! After all, abstractivism really is a very high form of art, huh...? fo_O
But then, abstract art without mastering realism first is mere garbage.
