Holidays - painting!

Getting into the Scottish vibes! Staring new project soon - 'Outlaw King'. Looking at the beautiful country and its landscapes. Photoshop painting exercise, also trying more traditional look.

A Wrinkle In Time

A Wrinkle In Time is the latest project Iloura is working on. We are collaborating with other studios like ILM and Method. Check out the trailer and screen grabs I included here. The shot I have been involved in is with the one with flying flowers in the foreground. It was challenging!

Alcoholica 'Sub Zero'

Since my dream of playing drums one day is still in the making I got involved in metal in slightly different way. I helped to design and create a cover for very talented group from Poland called Alcoholica. Originally Metallica cover group, came up very strong own material. Attached is the cover of their album 'Sub Zero' and few links! Check them out, they totally rock!


I used photo of my hands, some stock photography and 3d to create writing in the ice.

2:22

A man's life is derailed when an ominous pattern of events repeats itself in exactly the same manner every day, ending at precisely 2:22 p.m

At Cutting Edge I have been involved in significant amount of shots including sequence of the nearly colliding airplanes on JFK airport, shots of New York CBD as well as The Grand Central, interiors and exteriors, were we recreated whole setting in 3d. Multiple and complex projections where used to create set of dynamic shots. Comp supervision Alex Lay, VFX supervision Simon Maddison. Shots break downs coming up in my 2017 reel.

Sherazade: The Untold Stories - matte paintings

Sherazade: The Untold Stories. I had a pleasure to help out on few matte paintings for the TV series. First one is painted on top of the 3d rendering and depicts Golden City - location in the series ( two lighting scenarios ). The second one was used in number of shots in the desert - painting was used as 360 degrees panorama. Client: Chocolate Liberation Front.


Sherazade: The Untold Stories is produced for Network Ten (Australia), ARD represented by RBB (Germany) and is being distributed by Telepool/Global Screen. The first thirteen episodes launched in early 2016.

Oscar nomination for Iloura!

My colleague and vfx supervisor Jason Billington, from the studio where we work - Iloura, has been nominated for an Oscar! Go Jason and hopefully that statue will be soon arriving in Lane Cove where Iloura/Sydney is based.

Kreola psd file GUMROAD

Another Photoshop file on Gumroad of a matte painting titled Kreola - it was a competition hosted on CG Society. It was shortlisted in top 10 entries list. Within the file you will find 3d renders that served as a base for this work. Layers are named and grouped for easy navigation within the stack. By scrutinizing this file you will be able to learn my techniques.
