The Mistress

Wed, 20 Aug 2008 15:19:06 +0000

Hello,
I think that's the most detailed and time-consuming painting I've done so far. Everything is painted from scratch, bit by bit. I've used some ref. for the base figure pose.

Thanks for viewing!

Emperor

That's a painting of a really huge, ancient dragon that I was working in my free time. I tried to add a majestic, dreamy atmosphere in it.

Hello, that's a painting I made some time ago in Photoshop. I made some of the elements such as the structures and the vehicles in 3ds max, so that they have the right angle and perspective in the scene.
There's a story behind that, but I thought it would be interesting to see how the viewers interpret it.

Thanks for viewing

Hello, as you can see, this is a portrait of a red dragon. I was playing with the shapes and curves' flow for some time, in order to make it look kinda "beautiful" in a way, as well as wicked and majestic. The scales also took quite some time to shade as well, as they were made one by one. I hope you like it, enjoy!

Last Man Standing

An illustration painted from scratch in Photoshop. I wanted to make a simple concept with a dark and atmosheric mood, so that's what came out. Thanks for viewing!

Encounter

Sun, 21 Oct 2007 19:30:47 +0000

I was working on this painting every now and then, during my sleepless nights... For the head I used as a base a raw 3D model of a dragon head that I had created in ZBrush (untextured), and then I shaded each scale individually, like everything else. The full size is 5000x2500 px. I hope you like it...

Fire & Ice

Thu, 14 Apr 2005 23:11:18 +0000

Making dragons is one of my favourite themes. This is an image of two opposing forces; a red and a white dragon (or "fire and ice", if you prefer . I made these paintings seperately in the first place, and then I decided to join them into one piece.
It took about 4 days to finish them altogether.
Actual size is 4000x3000.

Reign Supreme

Mon, 23 May 2005 21:56:48 +0000

That's a classic fantasy scene I made last summer actually.
Though not visible in this size, the 1/3 of the time was consumed to shade each one of the dragon scales. The rest of the textures also took a considerable amount of time, but it was prtty fun while making them...

Fri, 07 Oct 2005 23:30:27 +0000

Hello, I primarily made this image as a commission for a poster; it's a custom black dragon with silver spikes/claws, dwelling in a limbonic environment where no other creature could survive...
The original size is 4000x6000 px. It's made in Photoshop, bit by bit. I shaded each and every one of the scales seperately, all the rocks, etc., which was pretty fun to make such details. There's also pixel-level detail in some places.

Wargasmic

Thu, 13 Sep 2007 01:21:16 +0000

That's a portrait painting I've been working on every now and then... Royo inspired
I made the skin bright and clean on purpose, in order to make more contrast with the worn and dirty armor; more generally, a contrast between what's inside and what's outside.
...I hope you like it; thanks!

Violet-Black

Sun, 04 Feb 2007 13:55:09 +0000

That's a simple pinup of a charming woman that I've painted some time ago in Photoshop. I got the styling idea from my girl, so I thought I'd give it a try... It took me a while to decide if I should make a background or not, but finally I left it plain and simple, so that the silhouette figure pops out better.

Comments are welcome, thanks!

Sleeping Sun

Mon, 13 Mar 2006 18:26:36 +0000

Hello, this is a painting I was making in some of my free time. I wanted to make something calm and relaxing, so I came up with this landscape. It started as a speedpaint, and then I decided to add some more details.

Sentinel

Mon, 09 Jan 2006 18:52:53 +0000

Hello,
This is a concept design of a heavily armored demon (and his axe ), a guardian of the passage to the underworld...
I tried to play with lighting a bit, combining both cold and warm tones, and creating some atmosphere in the scene.

The Throne

Thu, 30 Jun 2005 17:41:38 +0000

This picture is inspired by the end scene of "Conan the Barbarian". I took an older pencil sketch of mine and colored it in Photoshop in order to create some atmosphere, while experimenting with texture compositing as well.

Canyon City

Tue, 17 May 2005 01:44:53 +0000

In this image I decided to make something different than usual, such as a sci-fi illustrated landscape.
Here is a city in the bottom of a canyon. I also made some motion blur in the image, as if the camera is moving along with the aircrafts, to add some drama with the feeling of speed.
(In the first place, I tried to use the radial blur filter, but the result was quite fake, so I made the motion blur effect manually, painting it by hand).

Rise Of The Undead

Sat, 16 Apr 2005 00:36:01 +0000

This is an image with lots of skulls and a full moon. It was requested to be used as a background in a game. I tried to give a dark and spooky atmosphere without darkening too much the image, in order to make some details still visible. Those skulls were the toughest part, but still pretty fun to draw.
Made from scratch in Photoshop. Enjoy!

Flight Of The Valkyrie

Sat, 20 Aug 2005 09:54:21 +0000

Hello, this painting was inspired by the Macross universe. I wanted to make an action scene, so I came up with this composition. For the details of the Veritech Fighter I used a toy model that I have, and I also used several references to paint the ground.

Zombie head

Here's something different than usual. I was fooling around with this zombie head in my free time.

Dragon head

Wed, 02 Jul 2008 12:59:25 +0000

That's a dragon head 3D model that I made. I created the base model in 3ds max and then I added the details in ZBrush.

Thanks for viewing!

Assault

Wed, 02 Jul 2008 13:14:35 +0000

All the models are created by me from scratch in 3ds max, except for the weapons, which are the free sci-fi firearms of Daz3D. The scene was renderded in 3ds max
and the background mountains & sky were created and rendered with Bryce. The final compositing and post process was done in Photoshop.

That was one of twelve first place winners of the Twelve Months of 3D contest for the Calendar 2005, held by Daz3D/Nvidia.

Cyborg Model

Sun, 17 Apr 2005 00:19:19 +0000

This is a model of a cyborg that I designed a few months ago in my spare time. Don't ask me why the weapons he's holding are so outdated, they just are.. I'm pretty happy with the upper torso and head, but the rest don't quite satisfy me yet...

Machines are cold and emotionless inside, however they tend to be much more beautiful and charming for humans from the outside.

Post-process and graphic design elements added in Photoshop.

Shark - Concept Car

Tue, 14 Jun 2005 04:56:57 +0000

Although I consider myself an illustrator, I like designing things too. So, I decided to model a concept car, just as I wanted my car to look like. Not very casual, nor extremely sci-fi-looking either. It took me some time to figure out the curves that I like. It got its name because of its shape.
Also, though being a sport car, I'd like it to have more space available for people, so I made back seats too. Just for the record, the engine will be going in the back, and the doors will open rotating up/forward.
I hope you like it, comments are welcome.
