animate-steemit - Rain Cityscape Painting

in #animate-steemit7 years ago (edited)

Love the idea of this project and the community, here's a original painting i made as my contribution to the project.

cityscape_by_protagonistse7en-d84w6nn.jpg

Edit: thanks to @eyegasm for the feedback. this artwork is digital and was started from scratch, i used photoshop to create this image and i based the style off of jeremy manns cityscape paintings.

Process

  • I first gathered reference of new york city streets and artworks which would inspire the feel of the image.
  • Once i had visual reference i started drawing in rough linework in order to setup the composition.
  • After the linework was in place, i used a perspective gride and refined the linework till it looked correct in perspective.
  • With the hard stuff out of the way, I started to play with the colors and contrasting values by blocking in the larger masses.keeping jeremy manns loose style and simplistic color setups in mind i tried to create the same mood and tone.
  • finally with all the larger masses in place i added in the smaller details (People, Lights, Rain etc) fleshed out the buildings and finished up the piece.

Sorry for the brief overview of the process, however i hope to post more in depth content on how i create my images in the future. If anyone has any specific questions or want some tips on creating cityscapes please feel free to contact me.Im no expert but ill help where i can :)

This is stellar, I would love to see a video game with this art style.

Thanks johnquake!

hello. good art i see here. i am your new follower. i hope to see more great art like this one from you! :-) Cheers!

thanks Agnes :) , ill definitely post more work soon!

Dudeeee. This is some great work! For how much money would you make something like this? I love your style. Keep up

Thanks Antminer i really appreciate the support and kind words! i usually charge around 300 to 350 USD (or BTC equivalent) flat rate for illustrations like this, if people or characters are required it might change slightly depending on the complexity of the image, but yea thats normally how much i charge :D.

Ahaa. Don't have that much but I will definitely check you out. You got follow ^^ Keep up

Thanks dude! i understand, my rates are pretty low though, compared to a lot of people maybe in the future when i get more work i can lower them,and you got a follow back man, thanks again!

You are very talented and I don't see why you would not succeed on steemit. Just keep on hustling ;)

Wow. This is very impressive. You hav the light reflections spot on which I expect is pretty hard to master. I've resteemed and followed you. I shall give you a big upvote tomorrow once my Steem power is back up to 100%. It deserves everything I have.

Big respect to you. Thanks for your entry.

Would be nice to have some details about the process, are you starting from scratch or from a picture, time you need to complete the piece, software and mediums used etc...

Thanks so much Eyegasm! :D , you make a very valid point there, i just joined and posted some work on here to get the feel for the site, but in the future ill definitely expand on the content i upload to give more insight into what made the image.

Awesome, that will defo give even more consistency to your beautiful work in my opinion. :)
