Project teaser

Little preview of some stuff in the works. I'm gonna try to do a loose retake on the Siegfried stories from the Nibelungen.

And some more Space Race work.

Environments

Some more recent environment concepts.

Jungle Camp and Carriage

 

Pirate Castle Throneroom

 Heavily focused on the gameplay in this one.

Ship Graveyard

 Trying to push my environments further.

More alien version.

Process. Crappy modeling but it was only to base the painting off of something.
I also used some pictures I took here in Germany and Austria.

Finals

Here are some of my finals for this semester. The environment concept is for a dark Mirror's edge type gameplay in a Sci-Fi world in the alps. All the architecture is inspired by various German half timber styles, with materials and thicknesses changed up.

Colors

Loosely based on a photo I took back home, a little over 2hrs. I was trying to go with a very simple message of light and shadow. Started off by just using black and white to map out those areas and make them mean something. I really like that approach, inspired by Shaddy Safadi.
Thanks for the recommendation Sean!

Quick Environment

Created a new brush today and I actually really like it. This is a quick experiment with it.

Here is a high key variant too.

Airboarding

Spent the morning working on this. I did not do thumbnails and you can tell by the sloppy composition (it's supposed to work in quarters). But it was fun to make up the whole thing on the go, without really knowing where I was going at the beginning.
This is what the kids do nowadays!

Birthday Present

I feel like all these color studies are finally starting to pay off a little, what do you think? Tried "smuggling reds" in this one and it actually enhances the picture a lot. Found that trick in James Gurneys book on Color&Light.

Quick Environment

Inspired by a recent hiking trip to the Alps back home in Germany. This is a color study i did on a really cloudy day at dawn.

The Arc

Quick rough concepts for a personal project I am working on with a friend over the summer.

Speedpainting

Inspired by a recent trip to the grand canyon and Feng Zhu's new design cinema.

Plein Air Studies

To keep us busy doing art during the summer some friends and I went on a few plein air painting trips recently. Here is some artwork that I created:

Color Studies

Digital Painting Demo (first half was paintalong, for the rest of the time we were free to do what we wanted with it)

Painterly Update

Story Keyframes for Visual Storytelling, some color studies done in my spare time and a little bit of 3D for class.

Visual Storytelling

 Long time no post, but I'm back from winter break:

Ballpoint pen and marker sketches for Visual Storytelling class. These are environments for a near future storyline. You'll probably see a lot of good stuff for this class in the future!

Welcome!

Check out my work on CGHub!

A Sketch I did a few days ago after doing homework and finishing some concepts for work!
Trying to focus on the new things I learned, mostly composition and color...yeah..trying.
