tnx guys =)
I decided to do a series of speed paintings to try new compositions and color palettes. I'll also try to be as loose as I can, to get a better sense of big picture rather than focusing on tiny little details. There's no point in going micro if you can't get the basics first

This is the first one. It's called Strange Planet and it took about 2H
My main focus here wasn't the subject itself, but shadows and scale, as I felt I'm kind of lacking in these areas.

I really like the sharpness and the colour pallet in your space piece.
The way the shadows of the arch, and the rocks to the top blend together looks a little off. I wouldn't expect the rocks to cast shadows on top of the arch's shadows because they look like they are much higher up. The sun would have to be pretty high, and then I'd expect the arch to have a shorter shadow.
-
Hmm, I can see what Jenn0 means about the shadow of the rocks but on closer inspection aren't the rocks casting that shadow much further in the distance? If that's the case then I'd say the shadow was around the right kinda place.. but again if that's right then there would be more shadow for sure at the centre down the bottom. I like that you've used purples and some other tons that you normally wouldn't expect to see, and the puddles of water which subtley add depth to the image.

thanks guys =)
Alright, here's a WIP of something I want to work on more and possibly make a scene in unreal based on it.

My homage to the 40 years of the first lunar landing =)
Based on this picture of Buzz Aldrin assembling some experiments.
You can find other Apollo 11 pictures here.
Make sure to check out other Apollo missions pictures as well, they are awesome! I specially love the ones with the lunar vehicle.

awesome. Not a huge fan of the text chupa bar. It sticks out like a sore thumb. everything else seems to be somewhat blurred / painted while that is crisp and clear.

also that person with the shoulders right over the railing... is that a ghost?
-
thanks for the crits guys =)
Last night's sketch: Trying some different techniques and palette =)

Scifi indsutrial farm ... WHAT A COMBINATION
it .... -
Really love this peice Mino, think it's the contrast of some really nice colours in the mid/lower right hand side that really brings it out.
My only crit would be the door on the entrance to the facility might be a little large?
Keep it up!
-
Thanks guys!
wilco: I actually think its a bit small

Here's a very WIP one. I kinda lost interest in this one so I'm not sure if it will ever get finished.

the moon is nicely done, it's just a shame that the border "cuts it off" in size comparison.
