Guitar Hero Live - Concepts

The Outlayers

Concept exploring shape and composition

The Showdown

I looked at an old image of mine and I still liked the germ of the idea but wanted a more polished cinematic look to it.

Port concept/matte paint

The base was taken from an image from when I went to Dubrovnik recently.I've a follow up image planned for this so stay tuned

Future City (imaginative huh?)

Ive been trying to put into practice some of the techniques I learnt from my DMP course.  This was a development of a thumbnail I was fond of.. for some reason.

Matte Paint - The Sentinels

Here's my latest Matte paint.  More concept and painting in this one than the pontoon DMP I did.  I could probably do with beefing up the texture on the structures but I just haven't found the textures.

Matte Paint - Pontoon Village

I've decided to get on a learning binge this year. Fortunately my work paid for me to do a Matte painting course over at CGSociety with Blizzards David Luong.  Here's my first complete* matte paint.

Matte painting certainly makes me look again and the way I work and indeed my perception of what art for the entertainments industry is. I tried to be controlled in the fact I used photos and minimal freehand painting.  I think the real value for me will be when I use these techniques as a launch pad for concept art.

*complete until I decide to change it

Lil Gods - Forest Walk

Hey so I did this.  In general I am happy with it, though I cant help shake the feeling that I could push it more somehow.  So be prepared for me to update it at some point

Eco Speedpaint

Crypt/temple Speed Paint

Not alot to report here.. just a one off paint.

Poundland Drake

I stumbled across an old blog post of mine that I really felt I could add too.  So, I did.  At some point I'll colour it but I find colouring up a grey scale image a monumental ball ache.  So until I get the time/motivation to give it a crack this'll have to do

Matte Paint (kinda) - Revenge!

Here's another scene. It's loosely based on Photograph but not that much.
