Pete's paintings thread!

christ I'd like to see what they look like if you were totally happy with them

astounding

I love the way you render mountains and cloud; these are not the sorts of things I am familiar with, they are not my native habitat, but you make them both homely and full of adventure

Wow, your paintings are really great!

Wow - I had set this post to follow a long time ago and just taking a peep through upon my return... I can see why I did!! Do you have a Deviant Art account?

Your digital skills are amazing! How long have you been learning/working with that type of media? I have just started and the learning curve sure is steep.

Personally I like the above art work before the filter. The sky seems to have more contrast and stand out more - although the other than the sky the rest of the piece definitely looks more realistic with the filter. Such a tough choice! :3

Mgrgrgr! Apparently I was not on the last page when I made my last post - I was referring to the work on page 11 post #164 >_<; lol

Thanks Jiro, mountains are one of my favourite things to paint and to be on irl as you probably already know. I'm glad they come across as adventurous!

Wow, your paintings are really great!

Thanks Proto!

I actually use the Bob Ross base oil layer for these works wonders! The man doesn't lie either; everything he says on the show is true. Anyone can paint he says, and with his explanations and materials I think everyone can do it too!

Thanks so much! I do have a deviantart account; http://pietzooter.deviantart.com/

I used to study graphic design so back then I used photoshop quite a bit albeit more technical and rarely with the brush function. The learning curve is pretty steep indeed but manageable nonetheless. I think one of the greatest advantages as well as disadvantages is the undo function. For one it makes it very forgiving to make mistakes, but at the same time it makes it really hard to be content with a piece. Overall, I'd say just try to make as many pieces as possible even if they're quick 'n dirty. You'll learn faster that way instead of trying to make one very detailed piece you get stuck on and stops being fun.

Here's a new piece, made a timelapse of it too:

You're the Michiru Kaioh of EoFF. These are the kind of paintings I would expect to see in art exhibits.

[Pete for President]

Thanks everyone! Unfortunately I had to leave my oil painting gear behind in favour of some more travels, but I made a new digital piece instead.

I'm content with how the trees turned out and in case you're wondering the big red things like sea anemones on land, light enough to be swayed by the wind.

[Miss Mae]

The colours in that are simply spectacular.

Pete, your paintings are like a dream. If I was to ever write a fantasy novel, I'd probably be using your paintings as muse for locations.

This painting is really awesome because I want to see what's in that rock hole! Why is it glittering? What is there?

Have you ever considered doing a series of paintings?
