When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.
Artist's Comments
For the Daily Sketch Group at CGTalk again, subject: "Where the wild things are".
Photoshop & Painter, altogether about an hour for this final(?) version. Mainly experimenting with brushes and brush controls in Photoshop, and with the airbrush in Painter. Sorry for yet another speedpainting.  I'm in a phase where I'm building up technique again, so there's next to nothing when it comes to conceptual work.Added a closeup at 100% for anyone who's interested in the rendering of the leaves. |

Is Imagination dependent upon Experience, or is Experience influenced by the Imagination?

Anyway thanks!
You're going to laugh -- it's one of the custom leave-shaped photoshop brushes! However, I set its roundness somewhere at 40%. A fair amount of scattering, slight size and angle jitter, and that was the basis. After that I erased some bits with a soft speckled brush, and then I added more volume with a hard round brush, again with its roundness reduced to 40-50%, angles, scatter again and more size/angle jitter, so as to make it more hazy and random. At points I picked colour from the background to make it blend in better.
I've also used the Pepper Spray from the Airbrush menu in Painter.
I think a close-up would give you a better idea.. I've just added one in the description.
They look really good, and really believable. Between you, ~cypherx and ~Dianae I think I'll learn a lot
You guys are teaching me whether you realize it or not haha!
My speedpaintings have a much higher chance of ending up looking good than my more carefully constructed ones. It might have something to do with a state of increased alertness I'm in while I'm trying to get something down fast; I suppose some of it rubs off on the image.
The continuity between the fiery red and the highlighted sky is actually something I pursued consciously. I'm glad you noticed! (more often than not, people point out elements in my paintings that I haven't noticed. I'm glad about that too, of course, but it's a different thing altogether one someone reads a chunk of my intention.)
