Along the River

Quick matte painting extension of a photo I took in Shanghai in 2008. No real "concept art" flashiness this time.

Urban Extraction Speed Painting

This is almost more of a matte painting plate extension, but I threw in the dropship so we could call it concept art instead ;)

Approx. 2 hours, photoshop, based on a photo from Tokyo, 2003

Seattle 2112

Quick cyberpunk cityscape...about 2 hours in photoshop.  Originally based on a photo I took in Seattle, but you would never recognize it anymore ;)  Then again, would we recognize the cities we lived in from 100 years ago?

Watercolor heads

This is fun, think I will do some more :)

Watercolor portrait

Castle in the Valley

Trying to work on making my textures and strokes more interesting, while at the same time keeping a sense of depth.  I revisited the technique I used for the Dwarven Outpost, but with more emphasis on depth and form.

It's a really quick way to work, this was just over an hour.

Troll Bridge

More playing with deep forests and trying for something "atmospheric".

About 2 hours, photoshop.

Goblin Ambush

Been a couple of days since I've been able to paint, but here's a new one.  Based on a photo I took in Lynn Canyon in North Vancouver last summer.  Took about 2.5 hours, most of that was on the goblin, as I am not really very comfortable painting characters yet.

Here's the source photo, so you can see what I altered and added.

Isolated Farmhouse

This week's paintings are going to be based on creating an isolated farmhouse for some sort of horror movie or game.  They need to have "feeling" as well as rendering.

Here's today's attempt...about 2.5 hours, photoshop.

The hero

Can't remember the last full page finished drawing I've done....

Tree Fort

Photoshop, approx. 2.5 hours - Wanted to play with depth of field a bit...not sure how I feel about this execution, but I can see the use :)

Castle #3

Approx. 2.5 hours.  This started as a landscape, but it wanted to be a portrait ;)

Colaboration with Sunny Shah

Sunny and I worked on this together, passing the tablet back and forth every 15 minutes for about 4 hours.

Cities Divided #4

Not *quite* as flashy as yesterday's ;)

Cities Divided #3

Truthfully, this is the first one I'm actually *happy* with.  I finished the fixes from yesterday's painting, total time approx. 7 hours.

Cities Divided #2 speed painting

Not super happy with this one...spent more time thinking about the design, but the rendering kinda got away from me.  Hopefully I can take the learnings into tomorrow's version.

[EDIT]

Ok, I really hated it, so I went back and worked some more.  My laptop is out of juice, so I have to stop, but here's where it is as of now:
