Description
Hi there!Haven't had much time for personal stuff lately.
Since I had to paint a lot at work, I often didn't felt like painting stuff at home. Maybe I'm just a bit demotivated lately
Anyhow I painted something very quick this evening, since I was kinda locked at home. ... friggin snowstorm in montreal.
I don't even know how much snow fell today. Maybe something like 60 centimeters within 12 hours?
I got somehow inspired by this white stuff and had to do something out of it ..
Watching my janitor carving labyrinthic ways thru the snow with a "souffleuse" and knowing I'll be back in Austria for skiing. I thought I might combine those two ideas to a conceptart
Some facts about it:
Software: Photoshop CS2
Hardware: Wacom Intuos 2 A4
Snow: 60 centimeter
Temperature: -20 (a.k.a. minus fu$%)
Time: 57 minutes, with saving and exporting exactly 1 hour.
Tutorial: will follow, since I recorded my self for educational purposes
Fun: Yes!

well, a first step is to practice painting!
I even made a tutorial for this piece on my website: [link]

Oh if I had that much snow! We have no snow here. Some fell this Thursday but it all went away, and now it's Christmas in a week and it's not even cold outside.

Very cool... reminds me of the icy maze thing in the Hellboy movie and the one from The Shining. An eerie environment you wouldn't want to be alone in, and certainly wouldn't want to be stuck in there at night. It's not a place for human souls.

really cool, it reminds me of where I live.
I keep looking at it wondering how I would navigate past it, go around, climb up to the top and try and run across the tops (though I think the gaps would be too large). Just kept me thinking.
Great peice

Haven't seen thick snow for ages..
Great speedpainting.. I think desaturated sky & some fog would add more chilling feel to image :]
