Druids

An older painting that I recently found and decided to finish it off. I love painting forests and trees, not easy...Some textures were used in the rocks ground element, everything else is painted inducing the fire.

Cyborg Succubus

Some sci-fi vibes this time! Inspired by Blade Runner - 'Cyborg Succubus' - subject from Facebook Daily Spitpaint Group. Took this to a final concept from original 30min sketch. hashtag#conceptart hashtag#scifi hashtag#painting hashtag#cg hashtag#photoshop hashtag#conceptdesign hashtag#cyborg

Animal Logic Academy Masterclass

I had a great pleasure of teaching a Masterclass on 3d Matte Painting techniques at UTS Animal Logic Academy recently. It was fantastic to see students work and present fundamental tools for aspiring digital matte painters. We created a large environment using 2.5d projection techniques based on the bush fire themed project they are currently developing.

Firie

'Firie'. Artwork for an art exhibition "Beastly Tales" by Animal Logic staff in Sydney's Kinokuniya.
( TBA )

I decided to release the artwork earlier as it seems like this is a good time to make contribution to the affected by the fires.


To support the victims of the bush-fires in Australia profits from the sales of the print of this artwork will be directed to the WIRES-Emergency Fund for Wildlife. Please support if you can.
