Fantasy comp

So I wanted to switch gear a bit and work on something with a little more energy and something not so much photo real. I had me some fun working on this piece!

Museum

So here is a interesting image to share. over a year ago I was asked by a client to deliver some concepts of a museum for television and film effects that was going to be pitched to George Lucas. I went and did the concept of a museum. So a few months ago I figured that the concept had some role to play in George Lucas's announcement of his museum. I heard from my client that even before his pitch, George was already working on the same idea as my client. I am not sure if George ever even saw this pitch painting, but oh well. Again this is not official image of the museum. It definitely a departure from most of my other more fantastical type of work.

Newest piece for the week is up!

Step By step - spaceport

This is a old step By step I did for this piece. I think it was originally published in ImagineFX. It was such a long time ago, I just don't remember. Anyway, I know people ask how I go about a painting, so I wanted to share! Hope this helps!

finally geting some new work out there!

Oppressed

Finally, a new piece to share! I wanted to toy with the idea of a more advanced alien race occupying a race that is a bit more primitive

bot

Little photo collage fun. Wanted to see how far I could get with just some photos and I really rough silhouette study underneath it. It was a quicky, maybe a few hours.

Video game work.

Some early pitch art for a AAA game.

Giant alien world

This was a fast little piece I did. I spent maybe 4 hours on it. I was really going for a spooky feeling.

Mars Needs Moms

These are a few pieces from the Disney Movie Mars needs moms. I spent a lot of my time working on the underground section of mars in the movie.

Repair

I knew when I started this piece I wanted to blend a old beat down modern day environment with something a little more high tech.
I started with the warehouse and gave myself a nice little stage for my focal point. I wasn't sure if the focal point was going to be a a vehicle or a robot, but I new I wanted a machine. After I played around a bit I decided a Robot. I really liked the final piece. It has a lot going on, but the focal point works. Enjoy.

Morning Commute

This is the final that I derived from the color sketches below this post. As you can see, it changed quite a bit from the roughs. I always knew I needed to put something in the street but was never really sure what I was going to put.
After I put the elephant in there, it really gave me a better idea of what kind of world it was and it added a lot of interest. I am pretty pleased with the way this piece came out. I may need to visit this world again.

a walk

This piece was done in a day or two. It feels creepy and lonely and a good sense or foreboding.

quick 30 min sketches

These are some quick 30 min sketches I did for a piece. These where more to help me set up mood and general feel of the piece Before I really start. These are a lot of fun and always have a lot of energy in them.

Flee you fool!

This was a fun little story piece I wanted to do. The maniacal smile from the driver of the carriage really helps sell the story.

Evil and creepy

Yes, this is a quick sketch of Skeletor I did a while back. Wanted him to look a little emaciated as if the evil powers in him are eating his body to the core.

Hero

This design was me just me playing around and I feel I got a nice little painting out of my play time. The armor is a little fantasy and bit sci-fi. nice and moody piece.

Spaceport

Welcome to my new blog. This is a pretty new piece. I wanted to really show the grandeur of a ship that is about to leave port. I really liked how the foreground came out in the end. The whole piece was lot of fun to work on. Enjoy
