Anti-hero

Dan H - Antihero



Looks like I just drew an evil character... well I suppoe it kinda works as an antihero, a hero that doesn't match up to what's typically known as a hero.

Initially I wasn't intending to make it so dark but I just naturally went in that direction. So what's the deal with this character? I don't actually know... you tell me!

Anti-Hero

50 mins

Glutinous

Will hopefully have a scanned version up soon, until then I'll have to put up a photo

Dan H - Glutinous

bwahahaha this is quite silly but it was good practise none the less, never painted anything like it before :)

Glutinous


The old Glut, look at how it camouflages itself against the vivid colours of an alien sky.

Glutinous....or Glutteny if you would prefer.....

Sliding


The idea being that its some kind of sun god, who carries a sun which gradually slides down his back, causing winter, then eventually he lifts it back up again to cause spring. Not the best idea ever, but I was feeling uninspired.


Sliding

Events conspired against me with this one, but I tried.

Sliding -45mins J

Rippin through the 80's
Damn why don't people dress in outrageous colours anymore.....

Dan H - Sliding


I enjoyed this one... photoshop froze for a while but it was just quick paint anyway! I think I managed to capture what I was after :)

Dan H - Cow


It's a red cow... leave it alone it's grazin! I enjoyed this paint, fun word but I thought I'd just attempt something standard nothing clever, first time I've made brushes for a speedpaint. :)

Cataclysm

cataclysm

Cataclysm


Thats both the topic an what i think of this pic, catastrophic!!!
KInda hits me in the face to say I need to learn colour theory, cant go off with my usual hit an miss colour choices as per usual :P

Dan H - Cataclysm


It's supposed to be a bar after an earthquake but it doesn't look anything like a bar... or an earthquake, looks like someone just killed loads of people on a train track hahahaha. That's my result with MSpaint and a touchpad :)
Good word, would like to try it again!

Cataclysm


Well i tried!

Cataclysm



less than 30 mins, I wan't really feeling very inspired. I cheated with a bunch of overlays, too :/

Dan H - Self Improvement

Ahh I was hoping to have missed last nights speedpaint and come do it this morning but it turns out you guys didn't do one!

Anyway so I asked a friend if he'd like to do a speedpaint and he chose the words 'self improvement' and I thought it was interesting and come up with this!




I think my painting turned out quite boring but I learned a lot from it! especially with trying to paint mountains quickly. More importantly I like the meaning behind it 'we improve by climbing mountains'.

Storm



Not overly pleased with it.

Note to self: If it's a speed paint, choose a perspective I can work out in considerably less than the time limit.

Storm


Storm 30 minutes

Dan H - Storm


Thought I'd try 'the calm before the storm'... definitely going to try paint more scenes like this! really enjoyed this one although I didn't quite get around to finishing it.

storm

This was a pretty abysmal failure

Storm - 30mins J


I really liked this one, went for the lightning storm...

Final- 30 min


i went more for the "last stand" meaning of final
