Time to Rest


Just trying out some new things... I could probably say that for almost everything I paint as I'm always trying to incorporate new techniques, etc to improve myself over the last painting.

I think I really improved in a couple of areas with this one... I took a chance by adding in the red scarf around the humanoid's neck as it's such a contrasting color to the rest of the image but I think it really paid off. I'm not too happy with the heads/helmets on the statues but I can always go back at a later time and rework them. :)

This is the kind of thing that I really enjoy painting - that faraway world that you can relate to but is still completely alien.

Environment Concept Bonanza II


It's been a while since I've been able to do much in the way of personal work so here's 3 quick pieces that I've worked on over the past month or so. Each took between 1-3hrs so don't expect much. :p

The bottom 'Waters of Time' image was done for a free online issue of .PSD Magazine so if you subscribe to it (don't worry, it's free) you'll be able to check out the full process that I used to paint it (December/January issue I believe).

Enjoy!
