Jason Scheier said...

thank you tuna, these are just sketches I did for fun at lunch and after work. I tried not to labor on them too much, but just capture a mood! :)

Jason Scheier said...

Vojtech- thanks so much man! Likewise man, your an amazing painter that inspires me greatly. It's my pleasure to share my work.
hey Jason H. Glad you like them.. I agree about the middle two, they were more about mood. Some issues in scale. Thanks for the feedback!
Hi Mr. Brubaker, hehe! I will leave this set up this time.. Publishing is scary! :) hhah

Kendra Melton said...

The bottom one is definitely my favorite, I'm always drawn to earthy leafy more organic images, and i love green. It has a nice range of values and hierarchy. Nice job

Leighton Hickman said...

Nice dude! I like where you look the last one it really evolved from when you started it :).

Jason Scheier said...

Thanks Kendra, green is my favorite color!

Hey Leighton, Ty man! It started peaceful, and somehow turned into a military scene. Hehe. :)

tokyobanana said...

Jason ,

thx for your comment , I would like to know one or two things about your work , the way that you manage your texture and what is this brush applied on BG 2 " forest soldier " on top right , it looks texturized and both dynammic like a radial motion blur added with something like noise , and I like also how you use, I mean on tis part , the texture as oil painting on canvas , I think it works very well .Photoshop ? (for sure or painter ... )

ended sorry , except one thing , this BG is awesome Congrats,Bravo as french people use to say

Jason Scheier said...

Thanks Pakoto!!

Hey Tokyo~

No problem! What I did was create a light layer that overlay's the entire image using the hard light filter in Photoshop. After placing the light layer, I applied a Radial Blur Focusing on direction. This created a beaming light shooting through the forest. The texture was created by custom brushes that I made from default brushes in PS. :) Thank you again, and I hope that helps clarify.

Boris Villanyi said...

Just Awesome!

It's simply wonderfull, your work with the colors and composition.

For me, i din't work in the landscape anymore, but it's really motivated to see your works.

Maybe a return with my gouache or oil will be a good things for me, not only the B/W.

Have a nice week end!

Bye.
Boris
