This painting is a painting. An evening's painting worth of a painting no less.

Really great painting :) I like how you catch reflections on the roof making it look wet. I would consider moving tree from the center this placing makes tree much too important.
RE: Monkeybread's Dribblings - Amit Dutta - 08-06-2013
Thanks Madzia! I'm not sure I 100% agree with you on the tree, but I totally see where you're coming from. I almost put it further up the hill but guess I couldn't make it work at the time. I need to go back in and fix the figures anyway so I might have a fiddle with the tree again. Thanks for the crit!

The painting before this last one is great; love that time of day when the clouds are catching all kinds of warm colors. I agree that the tree in this last one is taking a bit too much of the focal point and it stops the eye from moving around the image. Time to chop that thing down! :)
RE: Monkeybread's Dribblings - Amit Dutta - 08-08-2013
Thanks MrF...ok now that's 2 against the tree....might have to seriously consider tweaking it
speedie. a place with..like....rocks in it or something

Everything is 500 times better than your first page (I DID THE MATH) ! Heathen is looking very awesome, just... damn.

Thanks MrF!
An entry for eow at ca after an age. I haven't finished it so it needs a lot of work, so any crit will be really useful.
*UPDATE: I won the round with this one! Damn, it's such a small thing but it's the first time I have ever won anything art related, and the first time since my first EoW entry over 4 years ago! Just goes to show, persistence does pay off and get your patience on people, cuz that's what it takes haha

EoW 215. The pagoda
RE: Monkeybread's Dribblings - Kaffer - 09-18-2013
@ your EOW entry: I like it as it is, it already tells a story. I don't know what the topic/expectation is, but I think you could even risk not finishing it.. nice and fresh already. :)
RE: Monkeybread's Dribblings - Amit Dutta - 09-29-2013
Tried a bit of plein air but it got a bit damp so I had to finish it off from memory
RE: Monkeybread's Dribblings - Amit Dutta - 09-29-2013
As I don't do many characters, I thought I'd try submit an entry for a CHoW for a change.
This is a rough sketch where I'm just trying to sort out the main design theme, nail the pose, etc. No lighting, values or bg yet. I'm not 100% on the pose, it definitely needs balancing and more dynamism
The description for the character is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hag_Countess
If anyone has anything to say on design, pose and whether I am in the right direction for the brief that would be great at this stage. Cheers!
