top left one is my favorite

I dunno, the one right below it is pretty cool. I'd love to see that fleshed out.

I personally like the top right <3 but mostly cause of how the colors turned out.

Bottom left

GIANT BUTTHOLE LOLOLOL

but really i love these omnom delicious colour consideration
I really enjoy the illusion of space on the middle on, far right - the purple with the bluegreen vines or roots or whatever those are

Did you watch Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs? That meatball in the end had one, too.

Also far middle/right is supposed to be the cracks between some kind of giant fungus/spore ball cluster <3

I love that your avatar appears to be snickering at your joke! Hehehe

I love speed paint landscapes, I like how the simplified strokes still get the same image across.

That's what its all about :D

I dont remember which ones I used/what combination but I used the pencil tool almost exclusively and not the brush tool for these :3 low opacity, like 20-30% and then turned it up whenever I needed. I don't paint with pen pressure for opacity settings.

The purple one on the right reminds me of the "Marooned" episode of Ren and Stimpy. "Blast off to adventure in the amazing year four-hundred-billion!"

nice, and yea paperplane has it goin on

I like your bottom middle, it reminds me of oakville

Yeah I just kind of looked out the window and copied it all

isn't it nice how as soon as it hits 11 pm the sky actually gets red liek that : /

The colors are amazing. Any thoughts on making posters? I'd buy one...

This thing comes out at 11x17 :v

I'm getting one printed to see how it looks. I probably won't mass-produce unless theres enough interest :3

Cool- makes sense. What about doing a larger one, of just one landscape/ environment?

will probably do that later on at some point lol :V but I dunno if i'll do prints of them for the same reason

I really really like the colors in these. They seem like great exercises; I really ought to try some! Very inspiring.

photoshop :v and yes i used layers

I'm curious. Did you use sources for these images? They're great.

How do you select your swatches?

Yeah I used reference :3 a few photos here or there, some paintings.

The second one in the middle looks like it could be an actual village

I'd live there!


.. but only if there's internet :c

those are some fantastic speedpaints!

these all have such a nice atmosphere to them, i cant choose one fave!! but i do really like that blueish one with the birds flying

also your tags lmao

thanks lol <3

i wish i could do backgrounds just as good

Neat

I like the bottom left the best.. It looks like my anus under a magnifying glass when I go hunting for Klingons

Don't fall in

I LOVE these

This looks like a bingo sheet of places I've screwed at. ;)

Actually, lots of pretty landscapes :3

Though what's with the pair of lungs saying hello?

Niceeee ;D @ #1

Haha, thanks <3 @ #2

I dunno, but someone else mentioned it looked like a lung, too :D @ #3

This is fantastic!

Can you by any chance supply a workflow? Landscapes have always been my bane.

Really, really beautiful, all of them.

Gray background
Made a palette of two darker shades of gray and one lighter to eyedrop off of
Looked up environment/composition ideas via reference folder or flickr
Painted quick thumbnails in grayscale on a new layer
Looked up color ideas/reference via reference folder or flickr
Painted overtop on a new layer or three, depends. I use the pencil tool (various settings), lasso tool, brush tool (various settings), dodge/burn, eraser
Painted overtop with a Soft light layer to bring up contrast
Adjustment layer (usually level or color balance)

<3

I don't know if that will help me any, but I really appreciate the effort! :D

I wanted to mention a favorite but I have a hard time choosing. Initially its a toss up between top middle, top right, center right, bottom center, and bottom right. But the more I look at all of them, the more details I find that make me like them more. So I can't decide. ><

Again, really, really amazing.

That's awesome. I wish I could do things like that. :(

I adore the garden pic with tall trees/bush trees. It looks so well trimmed and nice. I have a thing for nice gardens, they are like a sanctuary for the mind. And the upper left is awesome too, there are something exciting about big forests that is housing unknown creatures. If I was rich I would have hired you to paint my dreams.

Yeah, environments! I said I'd practice them and then I didn't!

Love the variety of colour. It's like a rainbow I can relate to.

Lovem all!

Oh, this is absolutely fantastic. I'm a huge sucker for landscapes! They all have me wanting to know what's in the distance or just around the corner.

AGH XD, *bows*

middle-far right is friggin intense, holy hell. so inspirational...makes me want to play around and make my own scenes!

I love these kinds of things! I'm doing a couple concept paintings simular to these at the moment. :>

Damn. Nice use of mood!

wow these are really cool :3 feel like trying it too now

You're catching some solid lighting and mood here. If I dared to push you, it'd be to try and nail some times of day clearly. Early morning, golden hour, mid-afternoon, yadda yadda. That's the only thing I'm not yet getting from these thumbs. Most of 'em feel like some version of midday (be it a cloudy or sunny day, you've effectively caught both states). You could play with raking shadows, high and low-key settings to push the mood around, too. Two cents, no more no less.

I love the use of color in all of them!

There are simply wonderful

hi I'm creepily looking at this again despite it being 2yrs old cause it beautiful

Also, THE BOTTOM LEFT ONE REMINDS ME OF LIKE. A LAND BUTTHOLE. IT'S BEAUTIFUL I JUST WANT TO CRASH MY ROCKETSHIP INTO IT

You need to post more landscape pieces.
