This is another design for my personal project, nothing special, but a bit more in the style line I like... more me.
There's a sad story with this one, sad and kind of stupid... at my age a hartbrake looks stupid anyway.

It was done in Painter from scrap, color blocking was done with digital watercolor and the rest with opaque media in separated layers that drop as soon as them get "nice", so I keep the file size small and the processor cool. Then Photoshop for some color correction and some textures.

This piece in particular is more personal, and I think it reflect a need of pulling some feelings out. Guess I need a therapist... or more rum.

The main painting was done in Painter, using the technic of grayscale sketching and then digital watercolor for color blocking. For the final render I used oil pastels, blender (just add water) and oils. Then Photoshop for color correction and contrast.

Pure pleasure, nothing special, it just came out.
It was done in Painter, digital watercolor, then Photoshop for all the circles and the sign.
As a note, I'm not Kenzo. Kenzo is a fashion and perfumes brand.

Many thanks to the lady who lend me the hand (as a reference) for the sketch.

Love and power!]]> Thu, 29 Mar 2007 00:41:18 +0000 http://toledo.cgsociety.org/gallery/477526

I've really missed you guys.

Nothing special to say, just another character design for a personal project.

A friend gift me a Ryan Church's DVD and I tried some of his technics, but I think the finish was too clean for my taste. My fault anyway, so leave Ryan out of this.

Hope you like it. Feedback is always welcome and curse words are taken with a smile.

Take care!]]> Fri, 23 Mar 2007 04:38:26 +0000 http://toledo.cgsociety.org/gallery/425152

This piece was done in my free time. At first it start as another elf for the collection, then I decide to do something special, or at least not so boring.
Then, and I don't know why, the legend of Arthur came to my mind, and the promises of his return, when his people needs him again.
I can't imagine Arthur as a prime minister, but I imagine him as a fairy... in fact, in the ancient legends, he was a Tuatha de Daana (son of Daana) that is, a fairy, like many ancient champions, like Lugh and Cuchulain.
Anyway, he was dead so, why not an heiress? So here she is, claiming the sword from the lake, as Arthur did in the past.

Hope you like it, and give me some feedback.]]> Sat, 04 Nov 2006 06:25:22 +0000 http://toledo.cgsociety.org/gallery/422042

She is Tsuname, a ninja as you can see, but not just another ninja in the hood. What makes her different from her colleagues is that she have the awesome power to summon snails (very handy if you like french cuisin).
Luckily, here she is doing what she do best, killing with "invisible" wires.

Hi CGTalkers!

All the painting process was done in Painter. I used Photoshop for color corrections and layer management.
The purpose of this one is to be used as the tarot card, la Morte (XIII), that's the reason of every element involved in the composition.
Now… I don’t know shit about tarot, I just was following instructions so, if you see something wrong about this card, I am really, really sorry.

I'm a man of few words and constant sorrow, but I'll answer every single question, comment and critique. So, don't be shy and let me feel the power of the words.

Thanks to everyone in the WIP section and to Carolina Eade.

PS: I almost forget... the 'elf' is because the card set is based in a fantasy PRG called Ioss.

This is a Naiad, a water nymph that lives in fountains or lakes. Sometimes they married with a mortal to get a soul.
This is my first work made completely in photoshop.

I read the 6 books of Harry Potter some months ago. Really fun stuff. I really liked the 5th and 6th books, made me remember when I was a stupid teenager.
Nothing else to add I gess. Hope you read the books, any book, read is good, and helps you excercise the imagination... yes, your granpa is right.

This one is a character design for a personal project.
It's a sword fighter... sword dancer in fact, but the concept is already taken by Lineage II.
No much to say about it... just... big hands rules!
