Timeless Light (chapter 1) - the beginning
Well, to begin with I must say that I always liked colors. I always knew that by just brushing in speedpaint with any color you want can take you somewhere in the making of your piece as an artist.
Recently I've contemplated "Riven II" by Greg Martin and I said to myself "how about me speedpainting? I would really enjoy beginning like that". This is how "Timeless Light" came to my mind. Inspiration? I did need some... the colors inspired me...
Sometimes it takes more than a lifetime to accomplish serenity of the mind.. inner piece is what I'm after, these days..
At first I started with some brushing with many colors.. I used different cloud and nebula brushes, as well as default ones. I kept a low flow, different blending modes and a dodge in the center for light (the focal point).
Then rendered some clouds and changed the layer blending mode so it can capture the color qualities of the previous layers..
I've submitted the screenshot of the piece, so you can see what I'm talking about, what I've done to it so far.
