Landscapes and Color Demo

This was a demonstration done at work. Video is 2 hours reduced down to 10 minutes. Please excuse all the zooming, it's a valuable way to check your shapes; it's not nearly as annoying when it's not 12x the speed. See the divshare link for a full resolution (1600x1200) XviD video and check back with a few days for the PSD file if you are interested.


Full Resolution Video: CLICK!


Here are a couple more from work. Working on encoding a video of the 2nd one if there is interest.

    I thought this one summed you up bro:

    Why don't you just use the navigator instead of zooming out? It's easier :D

    Hey, thanks a lot for making these process videos. I've been trying to improve my mediocre painting skills and I've really found them helpful.

    I hate getting on these blogs and seeing nothing but over excited sentences with to many exclamation points.

    seriously though... this is great. you have really been pushing yourself lately and I respect that and it shows in your work. keep it up. These really are pretty great.

    Sweet. Hey next time could you sync your zoom in/out to the rhythm of your track? Thanks.
    Have you also tried the Window/New window for blah.psd? Nice way to have a zoomed out version of your image up alongside your full size one.

    I didn't know I could hate you more. :P

    Great stuff. I'd love a slower version with voice-over from you. You know, your own little downloadable DVD. :D

    Adam: Thanks dude, once you explained what you meant on MSN I realized that was such a huge compliment :) Cheers buddy.

    Justin: Old habit I guess, just faster for me - I guess I like to see where my brush is too? Also like to paint smaller and bigger sometimes. Dunno, going to try and get used to it for the next time I do a demo so it's not so painful.
    ducduc: You're welcome! My pleasure dude and thanks!

    Mike: Thanks Mike, glad they are calming :) Happy I can have that affect. Cheers!

    GarbagePillow: My pleasure, I'm really happy if they can help! I'll try and keep an eye out on your blog. Cheers!

    Andy: Thanks buddy, means a lot to me :) And horeechit! You pimped me on your blog?!

    Mark: Hahaha, definitely got to do something about the zooming that's for sure. I'll try and get comfortable for the new window thing. Cheers dude, hope you are doing well :)

    Ben: Hahaha, hate only hurts the hater :P Neener neener! About my own downloadable DVD; you just want to hear my sexy voice. perve. Slower version I could probably do, voice would just take too long :P I'm lazy. Would much rather paint too.

    Mel: Hehehe, just a bit of a habit. Dude come on, I know you - you work your ass off both professionally and personally - and you have a family! I think you are doing too much with your life, relax already :P

    Mathew: Yeah dude, damn! I keep forgetting to reencode that at work. Will write myself a reminder for tommorrow. Stab ya later in TF2?
    Joe: Hahahah Joe, thanks a ton man. The feeling is mutual - about TF2 even. Aw man, I want to play now...

    Nathan Fowkes: Nathan this is such a huge compliment coming from you. I'm really happy you posted here. I've been tempted to come out to LA for a workshop or two, any chance of you doing something like that in good ole Utah?

    Anonymous: Man! You are everywhere Mr. Anonymous! The music is by Vitalic. You should definitely check him out, some of the most amazing music in terms of composition I have ever come across. Cheers!

    Tyler: Tyler dude! You should come by the studio or something dude! How's life?
