**Basil** · May 27th, 2007, 12:01 AM

great works m@. i really appreciate the insights from these videos!

would you say these paintings are similar to the concept art you do professionally? like, is it also a mix of environments, vehicles, characters and a similar amount of detail and time taken?

**m@.** · May 28th, 2007, 05:31 PM

Skureal : thanks man, glad you like them! thanks for stopping by, love your work dude.

ptcmia : ok

Machineabuse : thanks, glad it was helpful. No color picker hotkey in my knowledge

bumskee : haha no, this one is 5 times faster... sorry to disappoint

kamsa hamida.

Cwn Annwn : (that was harsd to type, is it Gaelic or Welsh or something?) thanks!

Skureal : uh uh right! actually I always paint in 1 second. I record myself with a high speed camera.

Smokey186 : thank you

Mindflaw : no problem!

shyamshriram : thanks to you!

Stark : hehe, hope it will be useful

Call0ps : I'm not that fast, this one was made in 45 min as I said.

altologico : thanks!

notspecialist : thanks. Well it depends. Sometimes I make that kind of pics, sometimes I stay much longer on them. And yeah, enviros, characters, vehicles, etc.

a couple of enviros , testing some brushes.

**Jonas Heirwegh** · May 28th, 2007, 05:46 PM

Crazy!
Did you use reference in the past for colors? What would you do to learn coloring like you do now?

**Kiruakiller** · May 28th, 2007, 05:52 PM

Shit! You kicked me! >.>

**Ive** · May 28th, 2007, 06:31 PM

Amazing! I really like the mood in your pictures.
The last one, with the green trees

Is it supposed to be water? Because I have that reflections feeling and it looks great.
Keep it up!

**Cok3** · May 28th, 2007, 06:51 PM

awesome stuff m@! learning a lot from your video's. Do you mind sharing some of your brushes? Keep up the awesomeness bro, those new pics are lookin good

**Zirngibism** · May 28th, 2007, 06:53 PM

Wow! From what I saw on the first page, you have absolutely incredible technique! The second pic has some amazing places, like the armor. I think some of the areas are done unusually, like the hair of the girl in that same pic- close up, I can see it's simple rounded brushings, but somehow it really works. I'll post again when I see the rest-- awesome.

**Renegade_1** · May 28th, 2007, 07:01 PM

You are a master of light, every piece has great mood to it. Really like the rocks in the first one, the composition is nice aswell. Great, keep posting and thank you for taking the time to do the videos...very insightful.

**Idiot Apathy** · May 28th, 2007, 07:07 PM

Mm gorgeous,
http://mv.cgcommunity.com/images/fairytaleland.jpg
Please never stop the videos

Hehe, I picked up a few things from that last one alone...

**Sepulverture** · May 28th, 2007, 10:34 PM

Thanks for the video M@, these things are very insightful.

**m@.** · May 29th, 2007, 03:19 AM

Epias : thanks. No I didn't nearly use as much ref as I should. I'm lazy on that, I prefer working with no restrictions. Each time I used refs I learned tons I think though. I think I try to be very observative and analytic of what I see in everyday life

Kiruakiller : hehe, cool to see you here

Ive : thanks, and nooo it's not supposed to be water, damn, I f**ked up this one it seems, it's meant to be white flowers in the grass, I guess I should have defined their shapes mores.

Cok3 : thanks, my brushes are in my exclusive sketchbook in my sig.

Data_Strings : thanks, hope you'll enjoy the rest. (the sedonc pic is not finished btw... I would have detailled the hair more to fit the rest of the pic's style which is kinda smooth and detailed)

Renegade_1 : thanks, no problem

Idiot Apathy : haha thanks, I'll try to do often but I'm just not doing it all the time, it kinda changes the feeling of making a speed painting, but it's cool.

Sepulverture : thanks and no problem ! glad it was useful.

**Gloominati** · May 29th, 2007, 04:10 AM

**Main Loop** · May 29th, 2007, 04:20 AM

I got a huge favor to ask....
Is there ANY POSSIBLE WAY you can repost this at half the speed?? you do a lot of neat tricks that I wish I could see what they were.... and there's no slow-motion for youtube...

**zweiDee** · May 29th, 2007, 04:49 AM

thank you sir, i am officially VERY inspired

**mc2mc2** · May 29th, 2007, 03:23 PM

hey m@!

I've always loved your work and have been visiting your SB for ages and have never replied. Anyway....have you ever thought of accompanying your videos with audio commentary...where you could talk about what goes on inside your head (especially about colour, lighting and values) and about your techniques...just an idea

I love how the stuff you do seems so...glowy.....lol
May I ask how you go about practicing speed painting? sorry if it seems like a dumb question. I've tried speed painting before but it always turns out bad. I'm more of a...sketch first, paint later kinda guy

btw...my name is "Matthias" hehe...just cool to have a similar name to the famous m@

**strych9ine** · May 29th, 2007, 05:13 PM

That m@, he's ok.

Haven't been here for a while and I feel like an idiot, look at all this gorgeous shit I've been missing out on. Good stuff man, the vids were EXHILIRATING.

**paberu** · May 29th, 2007, 05:59 PM

Wow m@, thanks for more videos! Is that a perspective grid for landscapes in last speed paint? Video is a bit blurry/fast to see it in detail. Also if it's not too hard could you post a little slower video?

Anyway awesome stuff, thank you for sharing!
