WoW Moviewatch: Speed painting an orc

by Moo Money Dec 22nd 2007 at 12:00PM

Video game fan art is common, but not many people film it. G. Papafigos spent a whopping three hours painting an orc from WoW and then sped it up for YouTube. If you're into the art scene, there's a whole slew of recorded fan art online.

While this is certainly not machinima, I like it because it's different. It's incredible to see what someone can do with a few hours and a tablet. What I find more amazing is that this guy didn't even use layers!

I have always loved these speed paintings, and this is amongst the best I've seen!

who needs layers when your tracing on your tablet!

I can paint almost as well with my tablet and I don't use layers OR trace. I just eyeball and approximate while studying a picture or person.

btw, i know its a tracing because in every other drawing you see (and having had an art class or two) faces are always prescetched first with 3d forms for guides. the rule of 3rds!

when you trace, you dont need to do any of that since its all in the picture under the clear flap in your tablet.

Come up with the original artwork, then, please. Otherwise, this borders on libel.

(For the record, if you draw enough, you get used to the proportions and don't need the wireframes anymore. And not every artist uses the wireframes to begin with; in particular, I suggest you check out Ann Martin's "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain", which eschews them entirely.)
