Image created using just Vue 6, no other postwork other than color correction and minor fog enhancements.

Camera was set to 13 mm for more vertical FOV and dramatic effect, which also means heavy distortion on the planet's sphericity.

Scene uses a spectral atmosphere with spectral cloud layers and lower metaclouds for simulating the sandstorm

Terrain is composed of two procedurals, created by both sculpting and functions computing.

Render was done with GI

Here's the first illustration of 2008
The concept behind the work is the metaphor of Light vs Darkness, and I tried to illustrate it with a ‘double pair’ – the sunset versus the upcoming night, but also the tranquil, green land versus the scary, rough mountains. The image was created using Matte Painting techniques only; I hope you’ll like it!

PS:Also done for the upcoming Expose 6]]> Tue, 08 Jan 2008 15:02:53 +0000 http://suirebit.cgsociety.org/gallery/518790

I did this image as a personal project, for d'artiste Matte Painting 2

EDIT: It was selected in the book

This illustration was done for Blend Studio Aps. to define the look and story for the upcoming game called Dark Horizon.

A sudden alien invasion takes us by surprise as their way to attack is not a common one. Meteors are actually alien pods and are coming from different directions at director's request.

All fire effects are hand painted;
The city reflects a dystopian near future where water level has risen all over the world.

Hope you'll like it!

I did this image in about 5 hours of full passion for japanese landscape, in a vertical format (which posed more composition challenges than a horizontal one)...what can I say more, I'll let the image speak for itself

This is a somewhat set extension exercise. The idea is that an actor will play in the foreground for some sort of establishing shot. Hence, it's more about creating an interesting background rather than a stand-alone illustration

Hello!

This is an illustration I've done for the cover of Hung's latest album, called Progeny. I never had the chance before to work on such an evil and dark setting, but it was a lot to fun and also a challenge to make something interesting with a rough land and little light....

Hope you'll like it

When I've started this image I didn't really had a definite plan, but I knew what I was after.

I've began from a couple of photos I shot from airplane; they were in very bad shape and you can still see some of the noise, but no matter, that adds to photorealism, right?
It was quite a work to recolor and relight them and make them work, cause they were all flat and ugly.

After I've build my basic 'ground' I've started to work on the city; Bad idea not to start with a concept art ! When the city was done I was faced with a serious problem : the left side was too empty. Dozens of versions followed and, fortunately, I've solved this issue

Vue has grown to become a very powerful tool. This is a showcase of what can be achieved with it.
Sky, atmosphere, background, midground are all modeled and rendered in it.

Spectral atmosphere is a nice surprise, and the atmosphere can now produce realistic renders. To get the right atmosphere I simulated the whole day, animating the clouds around until I got what I want.

Postwork includes adding that bottom river and it's bed.

I enjoyed a lot doing this personal project and had a lot of fun combining all possible media/techniques like 3D, painting or photomanip into this dualistic image with a very special mood for me;

By contrasting the beauty of scene elements with the moment of the day (night), I've tried to create a dualistic style and message: House of Dreams further underlines the meaning: is it a nice peaceful mansion under a beautiful moonlight...Or is it more? For things are not always what they seem....

Thinking at the tragedies from Greece...and the hell that opened upon them...

While the subject of this image might not seem interesting, it's important to note that it's done entirely (rendered also) in Vue; Yes, you can do with it more than generic landscape. While it doesn't have the accuracy of other packages when it comes to lightning, you can still do nice effects with it.

Formerly known as Ezo, Yezo, Yeso, or Yesso, Hokkaido is Japan's second largest island, situated in the north.

This is an illustration done for King of Houston universe using matte painting techniques, PS and a wacom tablet. Much of the detail is hand painted or using custom brushes.
The idea was to recreate that mystical mood, seen in the forests from north Japan, with no human trace (wild).

Here's a new Matte Painting done for a movie short & cover. The goal was to create an image easy to read, clean&simple yet effective and eye-candy with as little human interaction as possible.
Thanks for taking a look, comments/critique are very welcomed even if it's final!

Practice Matte Painting, concentrated on lights, reflections and mood/atmosphere.

Below are my thoughts about this image, don't read them if you want to read the image in your own way

*SPOILER* I conceived the cave as a metaphor for the constant struggle within ourselves. Like the cave, life is a true labyrinth, as we search&fight our way towards the light....sometimes you loose yourself and can't find the way any longer. Once in a while you may find a crack in the wall, from which you can see the light; Being chased by the fires from depths (inner demons) you find a sanctuary there. But will you just stand there or try to climb up? For the light won't last too long....*ENDOFSPOILER*

Well, I don't do characters often but once in a while for fun doesn't hurt. It's concept art and I want it to stay like this so no nifty finished lines or 1px details.

My latest personal project.

It's done using only matte painting techniques, over about 10 hours. I am thinking on adding 3d ships in the future, but for now I'll leave them like that, painted

some 7h matte painting focusing on creating special pyro fx more than anything. Those fires and smoke are painted, no photo used! And I'm proud of the result I tried to paint as realistic as I can ]]> Mon, 19 Feb 2007 12:20:17 +0000 http://suirebit.cgsociety.org/gallery/409491

I won't go as far as calling this my new masterpiece, but it was meant as a combination between my scenery & character creation skills, 100% digital painting. It's up to you to decide wether it's my best up until now or not...

No reference was used, no texture and no stock. Everything is painted from scratch, 3600x2400 original resolution, using Wacom Graphire 4 Tablet over an apx. of 20 hours.

Enjoy and let me know what you think!]]> Sun, 26 Nov 2006 10:47:58 +0000 http://suirebit.cgsociety.org/gallery/401746
