Speedpainting - Part 1

Although still busy drawing my sketchcards in ink, I felt like doing some speedpainting today, above the result. Done in Photoshop and my cintiq, aprox 2 hours each.

Speedpaints

As promised, here are 2 environment studies in color, done in photoshop CS3. Aprox. 3 hours per painting. Done as visual developent for a world filled with Vikings and dragons (I'll owe you that dragon for now) :).

More painted stuff coming soon, thanx for looking :)

Environment Layouts

Greyscaled: Original sketches:
I can't watch tv anymore...they just cut me off! Damn you Ziggo! (= a crappy dutch cable tv provider) *shakes fist at the world*

But, having all this spare time now, did force me to do more sketchin' (thanx Ziggo! :D), so here's some stuff I've been working on.

Just to try something new, I thought I'd do something shocking, and play with..... *gasp* ....wide panels! This instead of the 16:9 format I usually tend to work in.

It allowed for some fun experimenting with layout and composition, kinda like animation backgrounds you sometimes see in artbooks.
I also just saw Princess and the Frog (a must buy!), which was the inspiration for some of the scenes here.

Done with a 0.3 inkpen, greyscaled in photoshop.
