daily speedpainting 025 026... 

Nothing too inspired or planned, actually just doodling around, seeing what would happen... ^^

About 45 and 15 min... 

daily speedpainting 023 024...


Nothing very inspired, just not a good work flow today, but hey, made something, practice, and hopefully getting better. 


First about 1-2 h, second maybe 30 min... 

daily speedpainting 022...


Tired, but no bed before practice, so a bit of lava landscape. I will have to practice lava again sometime. And I hope I am getting better with rocks...?


About relaxed 45 min... 

daily speedpainting 21...


Small black and white landscape study. Wanted to see if I can get the values right. 


Worked on this for the last few days, whenever there have been a few minutes, and completed it today. Overall I assume 2-3 h of relaxed not hurried playing around. 
Yeah, it took too long... :D

the welcome committee steps... 

Hope this helps some and makes it easier to tell me where I can improve most.

the welcome committee...

Quite unrealistic, but I'd love the first Mars landing to be like this! :D
Wanted to paint this for quite a while, but just didn't have the skills back then... I hope this worked out ok. 
Critic is most welcome! :)

Worked on it for the last few days, but made most of it today... 


Update 10. September 2012:
Changed the one mech closest to the astronauts. Hope it works better now. 

two on two... 


Small Starwars fan-art speedy made for

About 20-30 min... 

daily speedpainting 020...


And again, just doodling around before bed. I assume this is a robot taking off in a burning city, but not quite sure... ^^


No idea how long this took, but maybe 20 min for all, and again 20 min figuring out what the eyes shall look like! :D

daily speedpainting 019...


Too late and tired to continue my next bigger piece, so just doodling around, and this happened. I still don't know what it is... ^^


Didn't keep track of time either, but somewhere between 30-60 min of relaxed brushing I guess... 

daily speedpainting 018...


Small sketch, just playing around. Ended up with this... 
Practice...


About 30 min...

daily speedpainting 017...


I'm in the "temple-mood", if something like this exists. ^^
Small speedy I made yesterday and today whenever there was a bit time in between... 


I guess it was about 2 h, but I changed the scene so often, no idea how long the final result really took...

daily speedpainting 016...


Just too much small stuff to do today to start something bigger, so at least a small doodle before bed, again starting with no plan at all! :D


about 20 min I assume... 

daily speedpainting 015...


Too tired today to start something bigger (so humid here!), so just a small speedy playing with the brushes. I actually found one or two useful ones! :D


Besides, mecha-thingy doing its job... ^^


30 min I guess... 

stadium...


Congrats to Spain for being European Football Champion... Again!!! 
And thanks for beating Italy 4:0!!! :D


Was a great time again, and yet again, Germany is on a par with the best, just missing the tiny bit of luck... 
Now we just wait for Brazil! ;)


Small speedy, nowhere near my best, and took way too long ( I spent forever with the colours of the sky -.-), but I had to watch a great game of football in between! :)


About a relaxed hour...

Reconsidering...


Playing around while watching football. The old knight-vs-dragon theme...
I'd personally attack! In the other direction... :D


A bit over 2h with lots of trying around...

daily speedpainting 014...


Had a bit of time and was bored, so just started playing around and ended with this... 
Nothing big, nothing special, and I still fail with rocks, but hey, it's practice! :)


About 1h... 

Forsaken Metropolis steps...

Well, just the steps to the final piece.
Hopefully i can help some of you and get some useful advice :)

Forsaken Metropolis...


I took my time with this one, actually just testing out what I can do at the moment. 


Thanks to the amazing Andree Wallin for this great inspiration:

Worked on it on and off for the last four days... 

daily speedpainting 013 steps...


Just the progress from the latest speedy. For once I remembered to take some WIPs.
Maybe it will help some out there, or hopefully give me some feedback how to improve. :)

daily speedpainting 013...


Todays little practice, a lake in the mountains. I have mostly made textures these days, so a little landscape to get back in the mood before some hopefully bigger paintings! :)


About 1-2 h...

Omegatech splashsite pic...

Finally (!!!) I can announce what I have been working on for the last half year! :)

OMEGATECH!!!

I am part of the awesome team at Megaworld Studios now as concept artist, and made the design for the mechs, environment as well as most of the textures.

And the splashsite pic, which I am allowed to show here now!

It is all painted in photoshop with the 3D models from the mechs as underlays. The whole painting is 7087 × 5315 pixels, and details have been made with a 3 pixel brush!

Took me, overall and with some changes about 50 hours, nearly half of it spent on the main mech. Biggest, most detailed pic I ever made until today.

All information about Omegatech, an innovative 3D mech shooter for IOS, can be found here:

Hope you like it! :)

he forgot the chocolates...

Happy Valentines Day!!! :D

About 4 hours...

daily speedpainting 010...

Small reactor-kinda-thingy. This started out with no real plan, just a loose idea. I actually painted it in some yellowish green, but changed it to blue in the end.

Well, practice for today done. :)

About 1 relaxing hour, I didn't hurry here...

daily speedpanting 009...

Started with no idea what to do, turned out to be some landscape thing, and finally decided to stick with a blueish hue, so ice it is.

About 1 hour, but about 45 min after I knew where I was going...

At long last I can reveal what my close friend Marius Richter and me have been working on for nearly two years now.
A non commercial fan game, a sequel to Rareware's amazing Jet Force Gemini!

Let me introduce to you Jet Force Gemini Resurrection!!!

The trailer can be found here:

Todays little practice while watching "Jurassic Park 2" :D

About 15 min and 30 min...

daily speedpainting 006...

Tired today, but still the usual 30 min practice...

daily speedpainting 005...

Again, todays practice...

Had a look over the amazing Andree Wallins gallery again. My self-confidence is crestfallen once again...

http://andreewallin.deviantart.com/

Ah well, at least I try to keep the daily routine up. :)

About one hour with lots of playing around and trying stuff...

daily speedpainting 004...

Ok, wasn't a good day for it, and I noticed I absolutely fail when it comes to painting clouds! :(

If anyone has a really good tutorial here, I will be more than glad to see it! :)

Ah well, at least did something today. Practice, practice, practice...

About good 30 min, but overall time put in it 1 hour, with 30 min trying and erasing clouds...

daily speedpainting 002 and 003...

Todays practice...

Each about 30 min...

daily speedpainting 001...

Decided to make a daily speedpainting whenever possible to practice my insufficient understanding of light and composition. I will post them single or in groups, but here comes the first one.

I still have problems deciding on a scene and carrying it through, so for this one I found an amazing pic for inspiration. Took a good long look at it and tried it by myself then.

The original is here:

http://leopardsnow.deviantart.com/#/d4j0u6n

Awesome work! Please have a look at it! :)

About 30 min...

speedpaint collection 003...

A couple of speedpaintings, made for practice.

The topmost one I did a maybe a week ago, the other three today.

Inspired from http://U2644.deviantart.com/art/Ice-Base-WITH-VID-280703249

Watched the video tutorial yesterday, really helpful! :)

Each about 30 min...

dragons lair...

Just a dragon chilling in its cave...

Made this for a chinese new years party I was invited to.

Happy Chinese New Year!!! :)

Big thanks goes to

http://tiger1313.deviantart.com/

His amazing dragon pics helped me a lot here! Please check out his gallery! It is awesome!!!

Really shows me what I can't do... In this case, foliage and rocks... :(

About one to one and a half hour...

mechs suck...

Was a while since I had time for something like this... Just for relaxing in the evening a destroyed city, a mech, and local civilians apparently with spray cans... ;)

Spent the evening on it, got distracted by some stuff, but I guess 3 hours...

santas bad list enforcer...

Merry Christmas to all of you!!! :)

All through the night, so about 10 hours...

rise and shine...

Mech at dawn in the countryside...

Again, my nighttime relaxation, even though this was kinda hard.

I had all the background in about an hour, and then it took me about 10 (!!!) tries to fit the mech in the scenery! :(

Guess I've been something between tired, unfocused and lazy :D

Well, that's how it goes sometimes... on to the next! :)

I made some pics in the process, so if anyone is interested in the steps, let me know... For what you see about 2 hours, but the whole process more than 3 hours...
