Winter Hunt by Papercut_Dragon

Winter Hunt

Description

I''ve been painting this all day, pretty much non-stop, and my eyes are fried. @_____@

Please please pretty please take two seconds of your life and view the detail here!

Ok! This is another painting that I did that was inspired by a famous artist''s painting - this time it''s Pieter Bruegel the Elder''s "Return of the Hunters."

Go look! Click!

And by inspired I mean I took pretty much the whole composition, lol. But this one of the few paintings I saw in ninth grade Art History 1 and cared about - it stuck with me for a long time.

And yes, I DID just draw Hitsugaya. Again. *Slinks off*

I did want to change the mood a little - this situation is a bit more threatening than hunters returning. So I changed the sky around; you wouldn''t believe what kind of difference that little strip of yellow sky made.

So is there a story behind this? Why are they out in the middle of nowhere with their swords out and ready? What''s with the dragons? I dunno! Go make something up. I''m gonna get away from this computer, ''cause my eyes are seriously dying.

About 15 hours, Photoshop, referenced Bruegel.

youve probably been asked this already but i wanted to ask, what else did you use to do this besides photoshop, ive seen that other paintings you did are usin the same thing...and very nice job

(Love your icon!)

I don't get asked these questions too often, so don't worry. ^_^ And, this one is actually all Photoshop. I sketched, colored, did everything in that program. About 99% of my artwork is like that - if it's digital, it's all digital; if it's traditional media, it's all traditional.

Hope that answered your question!

thekeshia on August 1, 2007, 7:30:29 AM

ooohhhh, i dont have photoshop, i have to buy it...i think i get what your saying so thank you, and thanks about the icon, a lot of ppl say they like it, and i like your too

Photoshop is really expensive - I recommend either getting Photoshop Elements, or Paint Shop Pro. Paint Shop is a really good program to start out with, and it's afforadble. :)

thekeshia on August 1, 2007, 8:28:20 AM

ok, ill try paint shop pro...thank you for the advice! *bows*

Papercut_Dragon on July 8, 2007, 5:11:02 PM

Lol, I'm glad you like the background! It is a large part of the picture, after all. XD

vampire_kiss on July 3, 2007, 8:20:12 AM

just noticed are there..dragons in the sky??

Papercut_Dragon on July 3, 2007, 1:05:20 PM

Yeah, dA took me a while to get used to - but I also had someone helping me out a lot. ^^;

And yes, yes they are. ^_^ In the original, there's SOMETHING flying around in the background - it even looks draconic. So I just went ahead and made it a dragon. :P

Why, thank you! And good luck in the contest!

Pabbit_da_Rabbit on July 1, 2007, 2:55:28 AM

That's very nice. I couldn't even tell that this was anime-based (which is a good thing!) It looked like such a fantasy painting. Done really well.

Papercut_Dragon on July 1, 2007, 12:04:33 PM

The woman - she's got a very "sci-fi woman" pose, doesn't she? ^^; I blame all the sci-fi fantasy book covers I've seen. :P Glad you like it!

Pabbit_da_Rabbit on July 2, 2007, 5:58:45 AM

Yeah. Definitely sci-fi. :)
