CGAA Summer Speedpaint Challenge: High Noon on the Veldt

One poor, probably lost Voortrekker's day just got a lot worse.

CGAA ACT Speedpaint Challenge 01

All right, all right, so it's twenty minutes past midnight on day two. I'm nocturnal, don't judge me.

In other news, abstraction and I still don't get along. We had an agreement; I didn't like it, it didn't like me. We were considering a mutually beneficial restraining order until this came along.

CGAA Speedpaint Challenge - Day 9

'The Ice-Castle of the Yeti King'

25 minutes

I'm speeding up! This was pretty fun; came about a bit saturated, but at least it reads as blisteringly cold. Wanted more of a fortress feel than a castle, with a small village populated by serfs providing labour in exchange for safety within the walls.

CGAA Speedpaint Challenge - Day 7

'Exclusive! Santa's System for Simultaneous Present Delivery Revealed!'

25 minutes

CGAA Speedpaint Challenge - Day 3

The Gingerbread Palace in the City of Sweets

1 hour-ish

I told myself that I wouldn't take longer than half an hour on this one - see how well that worked. I'm not happy with the final result, courtesy of spending most of the time working on it fighting the values until I decided 'stuff it'. Should've started in black and white. Ah well, live and learn.

CGAA Speedpaint Challenge - Day 1

'A Christmas Tree Jungle'

40 minutes

Okay, so it's more a forest than a jungle, but I am an absolute sucker for those old-timey Christmas cards with their scenes of Victorian-ish winter life. Besides, this is hardly the first time I've taken liberties with a brief.
