Those are no lesbian mermaids!

You see 2 alien submarine creatures doing a ritual dance, of course.
That image was originally done for educational purposes using mixed tools to speed up the work flow.
The base for the fin parts and the BG elements were done in 3d and painted over.
my Girlfriends stood model for the rough visualization.

You can see some snapshots of the process here.

It took me about 26 h in total.

cheers
Randis

BTW, the bikini was added for the public version.. the kids u know...
Feel free to view the original version on my site.

this old man repairs cybernetic sex dolls in his basement... those are illegal as their cyberbrains contains fragments of actual human souls. The dolls are capable of understanding and expressing human feelings and emotions to a certain degree and are that for different to AI based robots. Originally developed by the military 2034 their skin resembles human skin by touch, the material has an organic feel, is stretchy and extremely durable.

I made a base model of the scene in 3ds max and created an overpaint in Photoshop.
All together it took me 2 days of work.

finished some new painting in my free time. Took me altogether about 3 almost sleepless days.
I took a ref shot for that one and made a 3d model of the box and the hook in the lower right corner.

The painting part was done in OC1, then in CS3 i created some textures for the floor, walls and wood and adjusted the colors and contrast.

here are some closups and wip.
Original Image is 2480 x 3508

Somewhere in a small chinese village...
You see a young Kung Fu master practicing his skills.

The "cam" is not eye to eye, it is floating slightly above the character, lens is close so FOV kicks in. He might be jumping of floating catching up with you.

For the character i used a mirror as ref (looking at my self)

Work done for private purpose (fun) i hold all copyrights.

Some Image from a personal project. Finally found a free weekend and worked a bit on it...

The Kamikakushi (term loosely meaning "unexplained disappearance") Festival is about to begin!
64 Podrider with lanterns are on the way to their positions.
Each of them has a unique position they have to take in order to form a magic symbol altogether... The lanterns will be ignited at midnight exactly! 10 -12 fireworks are illuminating the city streets, they symbolize the souls from the dead on the way to heaven...
Most people are not using electric light during the ceremony, maybe because of superstition or simply for the joy of the moment.

Here are some details

cheers
Andre

After 8 months of creative break i started to paint again.
This is the first warmup Image for 2006.

Wacom Intuos 2.
Original size 3000 x 4239
Image Painted in Open Canvas 1, finalized in Photoshop 5.
Done in about 18 hours.

I finalized the Image quicker then planned, got bored and had many other ideas i wanted to start. So many planned details are missing, also changed the BG concept to save time.

Please click on the Image to see the larger version, it looks horrible in small.

The great war of Dulbin is about to start, you see the pride, dark Queen looking forward to her victory.

I did choose a wide format. This image supposed to show the great match, but actually shortly before it starts. The Image is devided in 2 parts, the bright empty left and the dark crowded right, you just wait for the right side to fill the left, to start the march. The cam is showing the queen, but not centered, so she does not take away attention from the rest. She just need to raise her hand and the crowds would move.
I did not design the queen in special sparling cloths with a crown, for me it was more important to show that she is the boss with her look, pose, aura.
What i wanted to show is not a brute force, but some bit of story packed inside and some atmosphere.

Sketch and roung colouring done in OC1, finished in Photoshop 5,5 and Painter 7 in about 40 hours.
Had fun painting it.

Used some images for ref, here is a link

Painted in Photoshop in about 7 hours. Original resolution is about 2000 x 2514
as reference i used one of my own shots, however did stick to it rather loosely as the goal was not a portrait of the model.

Image done in OC1 and finalized in Photoshop CS2 in about 1-2 hours. I used a friend who was sitting next to my desk as a ref but the image does not look like him at all, he is not even asian.
