ashes to ashes

Eight more speedpaintings. Again - same stuff applies. Some from ref, some not, I claim no right to the original images I reffed from, etc. Mostly practicing atmosphere and landscape.


Earth. This is my home. Inspired by listening to the late Carl Sagan's introduction to his book "Pale Blue Dot". Purposefully abstract.


Possibly tundra, or something. No ref. Experimenting with the new brushes I downloaded, to add texture.


From a ref. Another boreal forest - again, playing with brushes and textures, trying out some speedpainting techniques I've seen on Sijun.


Mangrove roots. From a ref - I really like this one, for some reason.


I had a really fucked up dream a few nights ago, that ended totally differently, with meeting what I thought would be Cassandrah, the gynecratic conquerer of Ensanctyse, as a young teenager. It creeped me out, but gave me some good ideas on her origins. I just love inspirational dreams! I love dreaming about my characters :3


Nacreous clouds. Another atmospheric optic phenomena.


Fussing with perspective & lighting. I kinda like this a lot.


I think I overworked this, but I still kinda like it. Crooked perspective FTW!
