[PlumaTouch]

really nice job :)

[socialoutcast1982]

curious about something...why did you draw a french flag? are you french? good job! :)

[PimpOfPixels]

I'm not French, but the setting seemed European, and with all the "freedom fry" garbage I figured the French disserved a shout out.

[alogli]

that was cool!

[rschloes4]

VERY NICE THX

[tally24th]

[cdabuff]

[PrototypeZZ]

[DarkOsirisRose]

my u use a lot of layers! I dont know how to use them effectivly i dont think...

[weathercast]

Bravo,nice works and nice music.

[spiderlady56]

Awesome! And I second AnotherGirl2's questions... how long did this actually take you? What program is this? How do you capture the live painting into a film?? LOL

[PimpOfPixels]

It took about 10 hours, in photoshop, and I used a free application called aviscreen classic to do the capturing. I used adobe Premiere to speed up the video and add music.

Thanks to all for their comments.

[CubeCentric]

nice one! ... but.... what flag is that? is it intended to be France? then it's wrong, it's reversed LOL

[Cleary2k7]

not on the other side of the flag its not.

[AnotherGirl2]

That is realy beautiful! How long did it actualy take you to do it? What program is this? And how do you capture the live painting into a film? Any way - its awesome! :)

[wheresthejohn]

That is really cool.

[jennaparker]

The song is Man, It's so Loud in Here by They Must Be Giants. Very fitting I think!!

PoP, you're work is amazing. Monster Island is my fave!!

[basselope]

nevermind, i'm an idiot...i rewatched it....hehe

[basselope]

what song is playing?

[YPBALLER17]

when u buy an Intuos tablet, does it plug in to any monitor? how does it work really?

[PimpOfPixels]

Yeah, it works with any monitor, although if your monitor is widescreen then you'll have to calebrate it differently. (if your hand makes a circle motion you don't want to computer to think that it's an oval). The main thing that the table gives you is pressure sensitivity and pen tilt. It's also much more natural to be able to use your wrist and fingers while you draw.

[tranakanarutofan13]

Could I use the Graphire4?, since I am not skilled and got no money.

[PimpOfPixels]

Sure, they're pretty good. They don't have angle sensitivity, but that's not going to be a problem until you get advanced enough to design your own brushes, and even then it won't matter 90% of the time. It'll sure get you a lot further than a mouse , and if that's what you can afford than that sounds like the one for you.

[tranakanarutofan13]

Thanks for the reply!!

[tranakanarutofan13]

Oh, I am still looking forward for your drawing videos. Keep it up!

[aquariumboy1]

haha ya you defenetly cant draw like this without a tablet the mouse cant make the same "textures" as a tablet can. and about the tablet your using iv been looking into geting the same thing but im just fine using my graphire(sp) i thought it was going to be hard to draw with at first but really and truly you will get use to looking up and down you wont even be able to tell the differance after a few months.

as always your drawings are awesome. :)

[siciliano29]

Wow, awesome work! Are those all different layers on the right???  Unreal... I have to get myself a tablet! How much is the one you have?

[siciliano29]

I just looked up the tablet you have - WOW that's expensive!! Do you find that you do nicer work with that, being able to draw directly on the screen, as opposed to having a regular tablet?

[PimpOfPixels]

Yeah, I love it, but I used an intuos for a long time it it got the job done. I do find the cintiq to be more like drawing on paper because people are used to drawing where they are looking. I figured if I used a cintiq I could merge the 2 skill sets into one.

[siciliano29]

Very cool.. yeah I'm a decent artist myself, but I've been trying to draw complicated pictures with my mouse, and the lines just look unrealistic. I can't seem to make accurate curves and such either... I'm using Paint Shop Pro 10, and the pix I'm making just aren't coming out realistic - I guess I need to figure out how to use PSP efficiently!

[PimpOfPixels]

You need to get a wacom tablet :)

[rainmaker3003]

I love your work, you are great! =)

[Smarttyy]

once again, awsome work PoP.. geez how do you this this!?

Rofl you should try to sell these.. i wonder how much you could make from it.. if you don't sell them already. =P

do you give lessons? =P

[PimpOfPixels]

I'm going to start doing some free workshops at my old school. If you're in the bay area you can check them out :). I'm also going to make some tutorials in a few weeks.

[Smarttyy]

awsome! :P

[maartend5]

great work!!! but i have the same guestion as foxylain

what king of drawtabel you use?...and keep up the good work!!: )

[PimpOfPixels]

I use a wacom cintiq 21UX. I'm pretty serious about this stuff so I decided to put my money where my mouth is and get one.

[coops1234]

Brilliant, truly brilliant. One tiny critisism, the forest at the bottom right of the image, seems too parralel and doesn't seem to have much detail to it, maybe if in future images you do, you do the closer background in abit more detail, but apart from that, it was brilliant. :D

The expression on the giants face is great also looks like it would fit in well with a childrens book or tv program. The story behind it is brilliant.

keep it up!

4.5/5

[PimpOfPixels]

Yeah, those trees draw the eye right off the page don't they. Thanks. I've gotten that critique before. You're absolutely right.

[templar555]

i love it ^_^

[foxylein]

i love your works! What kind of Drawtabel are you using?

[seriago]

ps. your final artwork in full resolution is certainly worth looking at. thanks again!

great work!

[PimpOfPixels]

Thank you very much :)

[dwardoliver]

hey i love your works! can ask for something? do you have a complete notes of hot keys in photoshop? many thanks!

[seriago]

Great painting and idea. These are so entertaining and educational too. Thanks for sharing dude, this one goes into my favorites.

[KrisMorrow]

Wow talking about speed painting this is the second upload you have done in like 2 days Your On Fire!

Should give me some of that skill

[PimpOfPixels]

:) thanks.

Well I've got to keep practicing or I won't get any better. And if I don't get any better I'll never know how good I could have gotten.
