Star Wars: Armies of the Fallen May the 4th Teaser

I have not posted anything in a very long time. Well, now I am correcting it - I am back on track with the production of Star Wars Armies of the Fallen. And to celebrate the national Star Wars day, I decided to release this May the 4th sneek peak.

Follow the Black Wolf

A personal painting I did when I finished a certain project and had a few days of free time. Base mesh created in Maya, then I painted over the render & overlayed various textures. Done in about 7 hours.

Some Storyboard Work

I get asked a lot lately whether I make storyboards too. Well... yep, I do :-) If you're interested in some sb work then, just let me know.

Contourland

A new technique I've been trying out lately, full of harsh contours. I combined it with a fantasy world that is appealing yet creepy at the same time. The result is... interesting,I'd say. :-)

Walls of Primos

So, I decided this would be a good time to finish my old matte paintings. Gates of Primos are now more or less done... though I could work on this forever and I'd never feel satisfied. So I better post it.

Walls of Primos are impenetrable. Its gates are shut... The barbaric outside world may never enter the last outpost of humanity.

Come In, Have Fun

New artwork, created in Photoshop, base mesh in Maya. Finishing touches in After Affect. Took me about 4-5 hours.

Featured in 2D Artist

My Dreaming of Paper Airplanes is now published in the 2D Artist Issue 68 gallery. It's a great honor for me, there's a lot of incredibly talented artists contributing to 2DA and I still don't really feel like being good enough to be listed among them. But hey, I won't be the one complaining... :-D

Ancient Towers

Inspired by Mass Effect. All the models created in Maya, composited in After Effects. The lens angles and shot width is all wrong but it was just for fun. And what the hell, maybe the towers aren't standing straight! :-D Theyere ancient after all.

Misty Dusk

Another painting, another technique. I like this one, using real photo as a source for imaginative painting.
Even though the source photo is so different from the final painting that...well, it can't even be called a source photo anymore :-D

Cave Exodus

Another painting...Getting used to tablet.



And here's my little making of.

Monster & Factory Updates

I've done some improvements on my Monster. Still not final though. I need to learn texture painting in Zbrush.



I also advanced on the factory model. Added some lens blur, film grain, color corrected and overall improved the models.

Desert Encounter

I finally got myself my first tablet. I'm pretty satisfied with it though very clumsy at working with it at the moment. Anyway, I tried some digital painting with it. Somehow, I'm not really happy with how it came out...But anyway. Trial a error is the best teacher, huh? :-)

Ming - my first painting

Some time ago I started with digital painting. Ive always been afraid of this, somehow felt its not really my cup of tea. But Ive tried it anyway and ended up quite surprised - it's really just about knowing some simple drawing, lighting and Photoshop rules.

Ming Final:


1.Sketch (Hand)


2.Light (Photoshop)


3.Texture (Photoshop)
