A new painting, this one inspired by watching Jurrasic Park again a few days ago. Just letting the imagination create a place that I would love to visit some day. This was a chance to test a few new brushes whilst doing what I love best - painting up an epic environment!
All work in Photoshop. Spent a couple of evenings on this, one blocking out the composition, and another refining the lighting and detail.]]> Tue, 09 Jun 2009 20:12:32 +0000 http://space-sprayer.cgsociety.org/gallery/772840

A set of thumbnails based on photo reference. Nothing too remarkable, just a few quick studies, chosen to try and capture something in particular - lighting, atmosphere, colour palette etc.]]> Tue, 09 Jun 2009 20:19:57 +0000 http://space-sprayer.cgsociety.org/gallery/721001

Here is a quick sketch i did based loosely on some photographic reference of Machu Picchu that I found on the web. This is about my 3rd attempt at using Painter, but occassionally i like to go back and give it a try again, as it really does create some beautiful effects. Finished this up with final colour corrections in Photoshop.]]> Tue, 20 Jan 2009 13:03:26 +0000 http://space-sprayer.cgsociety.org/gallery/671046

Just another quick sketch, this one using references, done in about 2 hours, all in Photoshop.]]> Wed, 03 Sep 2008 19:03:06 +0000 http://space-sprayer.cgsociety.org/gallery/673065

Just another quick painting. A little more refined than mmost sketches i do, but i wanted to take this one a little further, more towards a finished concept painting than just a sketch. I think this one suffers from a weak composition and is a little overtextured, but i quite like the mood, and the character that the trees have got.]]> Tue, 09 Sep 2008 11:44:35 +0000 http://space-sprayer.cgsociety.org/gallery/636903

This was a test of doing a matte painting set extension by hand rather than using extensive photo elements. This ended up being around 85 - 90% hand painted. All done in PS CS2.]]> Thu, 29 May 2008 22:21:34 +0000
