Hi!

This is the first image in a story i'm working on. I'll be posting more environments, characters, vehicles etc in my cg portfolio & forums soon.

Anyway with this image I wanted to capture the feeling of a high tech mountain base/city where the elite class has now settled.
Beneath the clouds live the oppressed lowlanders who have to live in the pollution & waste created, and then dumped, by the 'elite' race in a bid to keep their mountain haven pure.

Got to go, more stuff to paint!!! I hope you like it, thanks!!!! ]]> Tue, 12 May 2009 03:55:41 +0000 http://sunblock.cgsociety.org/gallery/697502

This ship in this image was inspired by the tail rotor of a helicopter! The idea is that the craft is returning to its airbourne dock, after a bombing mission.
The mood is of a nuclear dawn, the red is depicting the dangerous atmospheric conditions!
This is an old image (nearly 4 years) and infact my first ever 'Painter' attempt!
It was shortlisted for the 'PAINTER' book by Ballistic but didn't make it to the final cut. So, I know it can be improved! Please, give me advice on how it could be refreshed and brought up to a higher standard.

Depicts a futuristic bi-plane concept with an enemy ship waiting to intercept.
Main aim here was to work on textures. I really tried to show dirt, heat damage, heat haze etc against a moody cloudy sky!
Please rate and comment, especially on the issues mentioned above. Thanks!]]> Mon, 17 Nov 2008 18:12:55 +0000 http://sunblock.cgsociety.org/gallery/747713

Depicts a warrior decending a fog and smoke filled hillside to join the battle!
He has an ivory mask carved from the remains of his prey. And the ivory notches on his leather harness show how many enemies he has killed.

This was a lot of fun, hope you like it!]]> Mon, 27 Apr 2009 04:30:18 +0000 http://sunblock.cgsociety.org/gallery/756100

The image depicts a wind swept planet that is being mined for its raw materials. The mines are powered by the wind turbines.

A portrait of death in human form.

This was a fairly quick paint for me, about 4 hours. I've not done a portrait/facial close up for a long time so any tips or advice would be much appreciated.

I tried to get a 'stubbly' texture on his jaw area and to use subtle cool colours to show he is alive but in a slightly unreal way.]]> Wed, 18 Mar 2009 07:33:20 +0000 http://sunblock.cgsociety.org/gallery/696435

This image was inspired by a conversation with a friend about future war.
The image (created in photoshop) shows a future where germany has won the war and carried on developing its zeppelin technology. It is based in a hi-tech hangar in the desert.
It's my first image posting and am interested in feedback on all aspects of the piece.]]> Fri, 14 Nov 2008 17:40:05 +0000 http://sunblock.cgsociety.org/gallery/742835

Character study for the crew of the German zeppelin.]]> Tue, 17 Mar 2009 11:28:22 +0000 http://sunblock.cgsociety.org/gallery/742828

Done in photoshop, about 12hrs

Location: damaged military base

The camera is positioned below the monsters arm looking out to the hero, who is slowly circling the beast before she strikes him down!

My aim with this piece was to use a saturated colour pallette and focal lengths to capture the eye and get a great sense of depth in the environment.]]> Tue, 17 Mar 2009 11:10:31 +0000 http://sunblock.cgsociety.org/gallery/698625

The Gallow's Inn is the first painting in a series that I did on a story based on Warwick where I live!!!
This image simply shows the haunted cellar of the inn.
The aim was to create an image with lots of atmosphere. I really worked on the wood textures etc, hope you all like.
