Goonfella Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 It depends. Sometimes I have a picture on the go for a week and just keep going back and making small changes until I am finally satisfied. Other times a picture just seems to flow out nicely and is done in an hour or so. I usually find the best ones take the least amount of time to complete.

Negrumir Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Usually about 4-5 hours of beating my head on the wall, trying to think of something to do. Then I get an idea, but after about an hour of work, I realize that it stinks. So I start over. From there, I decide to make the dumbest thing I can imagine, but while I'm doing that, I often stumble upon a neat effect. I then spend 30 minutes or so trying to duplicate the effect, and another 45 minutes, testing out the variable outcomes... After that it's about 3 days of on-and-off trying to get if to fit into something with out looking like crud. ...And then I usually don't use it at all. Usually and hour or two to make something decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oma Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 depends longest was I think a matter of months. but then I was learning and developing new techniques and doing a lot of experimenting. (Indy picture and skull) often I do small pictures inbetween the major ones. and often I do many pictures or versions I do not post. most take over a week maybe two weeks. but when I get on a roll I can just about work on something 24/7. ciao OMA Quote  My Deviant Art Gallery Oma's Paint.Net gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillerK Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 Thanks for the replies I was just wondering because im making my picture pretty quickly now, of course my pictures noway near stand up to the likes of most peoples on here so i was wondering if it was the amount of time i put into a picture. Anyway i often tend to spend about 3-4 hours on a piece of work and often about 20 minutes figuring how to do it then followed by about 30 minutes playing time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFC4EVER Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 As long as it takes for me to be happy with the piece. (or how long it takes for me to get bored of it, and see that its not working and ditch the whole piece... but thats not so often. ) Quote ☆★☆★Merry Christmas★☆★☆  .::.My Gallery.::.Make Gold Text!.::.

yellowman Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I am not sure about the time of each project, because I work on several drawings same time and with different graphic applications, but I like Paint.NET more because I feel I am faster with it, I can say 3 to 4 hours for an average with Paint.NET.

Juraiko1324 Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Not very long, but I usually screw around with my pictures for an hour or two after I say "I'm done." My best pieces, however, take around 10-20 minutes tops: Takes Heart=10 minutes Hidden Content: Decay=15 minutes Hidden Content: I love Decay, because it's the only piece I made from SCRATCH, no stock, renders, anything! ^_^ Quote -I may have not been here when you passed away, but you will be missed.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blooper Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 When I'm making a full-blown piece, it can vary from an hour to 3 hours, with the large amount of guitar breaks not included.

survulus Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 It depends what it is and what style it is. Typically large art takes 3 or 4 hours, or maybe more depending on the style and level of detail.

Blooper Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 I usually don't open PDN unless I have a concept, so it does flow a lot when I make something good.
