Speedpaint collection 001...

None of those is worthy to be posted alone, so I summed them up in a small speedy collection...

The first one was done to explain to a friend how I made my last pic "red planet assault", so forgive me for copying myself...
Seaside attack (45 min)

Following are:

Downtown (20 min)

Clearance (10 min)

Desert flight (10 min)

Red planet assault...

"Sir, we have visual contact! They're heading right for our position!"
"Fall back!!! Fall back!!!"
:-D

Enough space for now, wanted to do something "grounded" again... ^^

Deeply inspired from

Just couldn't get this out of my head...

About an hour...

The battle of our time...

I tried to put all my skills into this one, not paying attention to the time for a change...
I actually did learn a lot here about light and fire and depth again, therefore I can't say I'm really content with it, but at least I focused on details...
I wanted to see what I can do if I take some time, and even though I made some acknowledgements with the ships, it is one of my more complex pics...

Anyway... I think I lost some of the intensity here, the details make it so hard, cold and less dynamic...
Therefore, I'm not so happy with it, but it shows some progress... On to the next! :-)

For references, I'd like to thank all of you awesome folks here on deviant as well as my most beloved "the art of starwars books"!

I made this over the last few days, but I guess all in all it took about 12-15 hours...

The portal...

Once again scifi-space-stuff...

This started out as a small late nighttime (actually morning ^^) sketch, just with a planet and the big ship on the left, but it was too empty, therefore I added some more ships, what made it boring, so the portal in the background...
Hope it works, even though I'm still not getting depth in space pics...

Something between 3-5 hours... Not quite sure, I made this over the last 2 days always a bit, and finished tonight...

Shot down...

Yet another attempt in getting light and contrast in space right...

One vessel taken apart by another in orbit, quite close to a sun though... ^^

About 3 hours I guess, but I started the sketch days ago and finished it today while talking on skype... So not quite sure...

Pandora night...

I recently watched Avatar Directors Cut, and wanted to try the epic night on pandora again...
I thought I could handle this by now... Turns out I can't, at least not the way I wanted to...
So, any critic is welcome! :-)

Anyway, learned something, on to the next!

About 2-3 hours... Made it over two days and with dinner in between, so I lost track...

About 3 hours...

Rendezvous...

Two spaceships meeting... I just tried some stuff here, mostly the intense light and high contrast in space... Still a long way to go, but I hope this kinda works... ^^

About one and a half hour...
