Artist's Comments

Hi there!

Haven't had much time for personal stuff lately.
Since I had to paint a lot at work, I often didn't felt like painting stuff at home. Maybe I'm just a bit demotivated lately :bored:

Anyhow I painted something very quick this evening, since I was kinda locked at home. ... friggin snowstorm in montreal.
I don't even know how much snow fell today. Maybe something like 60 centimeters within 12 hours?
I got somehow inspired by this white stuff and had to do something out of it .. :)

Watching my janitor carving labyrinthic ways thru the snow with a "souffleuse" and knowing I'll be back in Austria for skiing. I thought I might combine those two ideas to a conceptart :idea:

Some facts about it:

Software: Photoshop CS2
Hardware: Wacom Intuos 2 A4
Snow: 60 centimeter :snowflake: :snowflake: :snowflake:
Temperature: -20 (a.k.a. minus fu$%)
Time: 57 minutes, with saving and exporting exactly 1 hour.
Tutorial: will follow, since I recorded my self for educational purposes
Fun: Yes!

I wished the snow inspired me more, but my thoughts always lean towards the endless shivering. :P

The left of the painting seems a little less defined, with more strokes, than on the right, which is a little distracting. But the balance of dark in the opposite corners is wonderful. A very interesting setting, it brings to mind scary fairy tales :)

Hehe... you're stuck in the storm too?

Great use of time! I admit I haven't been quite so productive in my "stuck at home" state.

beautiful effect for the ice walls. i really like the mountains on the right side. the light on the very ridges of them... not much of the white stuff in texas... actually close to none. beautiful as usual.

Totally agree about the left part, looking at it again I quite neglected this area.
Not really happy how it turned out.
I rushed myself a bit too much I guess, since I tried to do it below one hour ...
Maybe I'll decide at a later point, if I still like it, to push it further ...
Thanks a lot for your helpful comment!
