2 hour and 20 minute speedpaint.
And... oh... my gosh... that was the most fun 2 hours and 20 minutes I've had in a loooooong time. xD I'm really getting in to this whole speedpainting thing; and I'll most likely be doing it waaaay more often from now on. It's like so much fun, and I learned so much while doing it, and it doesn't take forever and a half. It just doesn't get any better than that. xD But, yeah, it was way fun, and I'm also really happy with the final result. I think I'm really getting the hang of light and color and stuff. Yay! 8D I used like a really fun technique too (Which I stole from the god of speedpainters: *leventep) where I started off with a photo, just scribbled on it for a while, and then gradually started refining shapes and forms as I started to see them. It's so fun because you don't know what the final piece will look like, so you don't even have to spend time deciding what to paint. xD (The original photo I used can be found here) Aaah.... I love speedpainting... Comments
 Wow, such an ordinary photograph turned into something so... well, mystical, I guess 8D. I keep scrolling up to look at it, lawl~. I love how magical and early-morning it looks, the trees fading into the brightness and all... Yea I suck at commenting like that, I'm sorry XD.
Good work  .-- A place for Jerkass Literate Roleplayers I do commissions!   So awesome!-- I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying. -Oscar Wilde  I'm afraid once your heart is involved, it all comes out in Moron. -Lorelai Check out #Psychouts Thanks. 8D
-- Never say, "I can't." Instead ask yourself, "how can I?". Thanks very much!
 -- Never say, "I can't." Instead ask yourself, "how can I?".  I think this is really fabulous, especially for that small amount of time! All those details and wonder natural elements really stack up..and you learned a bunch, too, which is always the point to speed painting anyway. That, and to hone in on your skills and realize concepts...and I think you did that perfectly here! Superb work!
-- <<-+-<[MythArcana]>-+->>  Huh, Apparently you need to be a paid member to give crits.
It looks good, however, I notice there appears to be two rows of rocks, which seems to be out of place on something that should likely be more randomly distributed. --   It's official.
I hate you and your talent. I'm going to invent a machine that steals all the artsy bits of your brain and turns them into an energy drink which will give me all your know-how! The piece is really great! It looks watercoloury to me, or like the background for a scene in a Disney movie or something! -- I like the idea of chocolate cake better than the cake itself. Thanks very much!
-- Never say, "I can't." Instead ask yourself, "how can I?". Yeaaah, the new critique system is pretty weird. Guess dA needs more subscribers. xD
And, yeah, I have no idea how I didn't see those rocks until now. xD *Composition fail* Thank ye. :3 -- Never say, "I can't." Instead ask yourself, "how can I?". |

 reports, 1d 10h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.55 Best of... weekly photomanip features #133=FrozenStarRo
 reports, 1d 20h agoThis newsletter was "born" back in March 2007, from a conversation between ~Lareth and =FrozenStarRo, who with the help of their friends *Iardacil and *Sylwiaa , wanted to make something to promote known and unknown photomanipulators alike here on DeviantArt. As of September 2009 =ImaginaryRosse joined the project and will be helping us out with the weekly choices. While things have changed over time, the essence of the newsletter is still the same. |

Critiques
My major gripe with this, and sorry for not bringing it up before, is that the road looks more like a muddy river. I had thought you would add more pebbley texture to it. Right now, it's very flat and looks to have ripples, like a waterway. For it to be a road it should be uneven, lower in places that have more traffic or water erosion, and higher at the sides. I also think that adding some red hues to it would add nice colour contrast, though that could just be me and my preference for red soil (check out PEI). You really need to do away with that sort of scribble texture, too.
Other than that, the other components - rocks and trees and trees and rocks etc - are rendered well enough to be convincing in this piece.
