Day 1, painting from life, no ctrl-z.

batmobile sketch

2012-01-12T00:40:00.000-08:00

later...

Doesnt look like the new batman film will have a new batmobile (although there is still a chance) The tumbler is great and all, but not batman built. This sketch is what I've been thinking he'd build. Perhaps powered by a helicopter turbine like the Abrams tank, although it'd be shame to lose the jet exhausts.

Jetpack Study

2011-12-03T01:16:00.000-08:00

Finished. I think I should leave it alone before I overdo it. I think I'm going to give it a matte varnish, hopefully it will behave better in photographs.

fett painting

2011-11-22T21:15:00.000-08:00

Bit more progress, Still having trouble with values. Although it's intended as a flat piece it's hard not to put some contrast in there. Still time to fix it though.

It's for an exhibition over at http://www.ltdartgallery.com/

Wicked.

It's tricky to get a good photograph, it's reflecting a lot, looks better in person. Need to redo the helmet next. Painting is hard.

Fett and porsche.

I'm going to have go at doing this boba fett painting for real, with real paint on a real canvas, so I have a real art that I can hang on a wall. I'm not a great painter so I might go for the 'if you can't make it good make it big' rule.
I am also making a car model below.

A boat for Steve...

I am also making this car model.

1971 roadrunner model.

The guys over at smcars.net are having a muscle car contest. This is my entry.

A part of something I've been doing for Portal2 recently

A short sunderland in scotland

2011-01-26T02:10:00.000-08:00

I thought I have another crack at this. Having it taking off is a more favourable pose.

This isnt going to work. I can't push the hills back and keep all the colours. The plane also looks weak with it (correctly) leaning on a pontoon.

a cg talk hour mini challenge, the black wall.

Return to mars.

2010-11-10T01:45:00.000-08:00

Decided to work this more. I wondered if I could make the stupidly red earth work at all with the sky.

Underpass

2010-11-09T00:37:00.000-08:00

Did this on sunday,

These are a bit older.

2010-11-09T00:08:00.000-08:00

These two are kind of a progression, the top one evolved from the bottom one. Perspective is a bit off still .

2010-11-09T00:02:00.000-08:00

Trying some braver palettes with these two.

2010-11-08T23:59:00.000-08:00

Some kind of massive cave city.

I'm quite pleased with this one. I'll probably work into it some more.

2010-11-06T21:46:00.001-07:00

I'm trying to teach myself some digital matte painting. These are the results, I try to only spend one evening on each one to stop myself getting too carried away in the details...
