Environment of the Week #185

There a forum competition on conceptart.org where every 2 weeks they put up a brief for eveyone to do a concept for so here's my first try at an entry.

The brief was...

At the Banks of the Glowing River
There is something enchanting about this place, whether it's source of illumination is magical, spiritual, technologically produced - or perhaps it is a creation of nature itself.

Week_08

Final week we carried on refining old thumbnails. I'm quite pleased with the results of the course but there's still so much to learn & I'm looking forward to improvimg more & more over the comming years.



After Talking to Simon he sudgested a different composition from this..



to this...



which then changed to this...

Week_07

This week we were working one refining a painting to a more finished look.

Week_06

Ok this week was a little confusing but turned out to be quite easy. We were taught about colour theory & how to do a few thumbnails using it. I really liked this way of working as I found it quite relaxing & it took me away from the reality of real shapes & colours.





Next we had to go back to our paintings & improve them in all the ways we had learnt so far.

Week_05

This week we needed to add colour using photo's to create the image first. I quite like how a few of these turned out so hopefully I'm heading in the right direction.

Week_04

Ok this week was going back & improving on 3 previous thumbnails & adding some texture along with improving them with the new stuff we've learnt over the last few weeks.

Week_03

This week we have to do 3 value painting studys from film clips chosen by ourselves.













Ok enough painting, now to do some more thumbnails but using the stuff we've learnt this week.

Week_02

Here's todays try. I think I made some progress.

Looking over these i think i need to work more on the bigger shapes as the smaller shapes seem to make them lost overal.















These are called Callouts.




I tried to go more simple with these ones but it only seemed to work with the first one!
