I take to much black into painting when I do mine - so used to sketching with sharpies!IADWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08339648236279349271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7567861383818797225.post-66584343434963996692008-09-12T02:09:00.000-04:002008-09-12T02:09:00.000-04:00ahh. Thanks for the explanation. As you can see, I...ahh. Thanks for the explanation. As you can see, I'm more of an admirer of the style than an artist. I find that the Cornwell done in an hour and 1/2 to be pretty fast considering the detail that looks like is in the piece! Especially compared to the amount of time that you said went into the cover to Cap #41.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your reply. It's great to hear a little insight that goes into the process of your artwork. Keep up the great work! I look forward to meeting you sometime again in the future.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16121414322285623990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7567861383818797225.post-45463065739591479742008-09-10T15:34:00.000-04:002008-09-10T15:34:00.000-04:00Kevin - Thanks, I appreciate the commentsRaphael -...Kevin - Thanks, I appreciate the comments<BR/><BR/>Raphael - Speedpaint is a term that's in pretty common use among the Concept Art community. It generally refers to paintings that are done in 2 - 3 hours as opposed to a more finished painting that could take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. I'd say I worked on Red Sonja about 2 1/2 hours. It was spread out over several days though, so it's just a guess. The Cornwell copy was probably about an hour and a half. By comparison - the cover to Cap #41 was probably around 12 - 14 hours total, including the drawing time (I don't do any drawing for these speedpaints, I just roughly sketch in the shapes in Photoshop and start painting from there).Steve Eptinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01424779011822915937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7567861383818797225.post-4118539835805044202008-09-10T13:16:00.000-04:002008-09-10T13:16:00.000-04:00Hey SteveI too really love the texture in the Corn...Hey Steve<BR/><BR/>I too really love the texture in the Cornwell copy, it almost looks like it was done no canvas from the way you've approached that piece.<BR/><BR/>Also, may I ask, when you refer to a "speedpaint", how long does a piece like that take you to complete? <BR/><BR/>Keep up the great work.

I get the feeling that most people who visit here are not very interested in art that's not comic book related, but I'll still keep posting it anyway!<BR/><BR/>Alan - I agree. Those juicy impasto brush strokes are so expressive and it's hard to duplicate that in photoshop. That's another reason I wanted to give it a try.<BR/><BR/>Dan -Thanks.
