concept art in prog
So I somehow ended up with the most obnoxiously idyllic scene ever. Not done, it still needs stuff- for example, an interesting subject. There's also some texture mismatch with the grass, and the mountains need work (did those first, you can tell). But yeah.. I don't hate it, but I don't love it.
I basically photochopped together a bunch of my own photos from various places (Alaska, Switzerland, Colorado) and started with a quick trace/sketch as seen below. Then I painted awayyy. Painting a huge scene kinda stressed me out, because there was so much to worry about. I'm way more comfortable with still lifes and portraits.. need moar landscape practice.
Sunrise Concept Painting
Here is a concept painting I did of the sun rising between massive pillars of stone.
Winter in Germany
For my matte painting I took a photo that I captured in Germany and added snow as well as mountains in the background. I also adjusted the colors so that it appeared cooler.
Beach Scene
This is my beach scene. I merged multiple beaches together. I decided I want to include some sort of sand castle so I just added a placeholder for now. I plan to add texture and paint over the castle. It's still a work in progress
Grand Library concept WiP
This piece is proving to be a huge challenge for me. Prespective and man-made objects are my major weaknesses in my artwork, hopefully I will take away a lot from this.

I want to create a light, airy feel to this space.

Speed Painting Phase 1
My first shot at speed painting using the Alien Hot Air Balloons by Emrah Elmasli. This first stage is just a blocking in color to get the overall environment established.
