Description
broke down this speedpaint (68minutes) into 3 seperate videos dealing with basic scene setting, simple clouds, an organic skyline, and foreground elements, hopefully it'll give you guys an idea of how i work, and maybe give some of you a few ideas. 3 layers used using basic photoshop brushes (apart from the skyline where i made some brushes on the fly, included them in the rarfile), kept it simple to follow, and apart from a little cropping and contrast adjustment, you get exactly what's shown in the pic............................
basic cloud formations - (22minutes runtime, winrar needed, xvid avi) -[ [link] ]-
...........................
basic city skyline - (24minutes runtime, winrar needed, xvid avi) - -[ [link] ]-
...........................
foreground elements - (22minutes runtime, winrar needed, xvid avi) -[ [link] ]-
...........................
hopefully you guys will enjoy them.
any problems with playing the files, try installing the xvid codec first (google it), if you can't get it to play (winamp & mediaplayer sometimes have a problem with xvid as it's the codec pirates use on dvdrips, they installed security measures on some versions) just download vlc player from videolan.org, it'll play anything and doesn't mess with your current setup. Also, winrar is easily available, but winzip/winace etc will handle the extension in the extension manager.

Just downloaded these files as I'm very much inspired by your artwork.
The way you paint your skylines and imbue each piece with atmosphere is amazing and I hope to learn from these videos.
Thanx.

super super help full! but i was wondering when you did the gloves on the figure why don't you make a new layer and add a clipping mask to the figure (woman) so it can stay within the lines you can do the same with the building when you add highlights

ive tried downloading all these videos and some reason they wont play

They're encoded with xvid, so you need the codec, but are standardised avi files, if you still have trouble, try vlc (videolan.org) as that tends to play files other mediaplayers have trouble with. Alternately, they are available (albeit sped up) on youtube (search spyroteknik)

Best bet is - [link] - watch em from there, then have someone look into your codec issue who's more familiar with macs

Thanks, yes, Intuos a4, the brushes should work, it's an .abr extension, but, here's a jpg - [link] - just select around and define brush

The backdrop is beautiful. I love the sharp and rigid feeling it gives off.
The foreground could use some work... Though, to be honest, I couldn't do any better.
Good job!
