This is an artwork created for my upcoming graphic novel, called Lost Chronicles, in which a lone templar, descendant of the once mighty Archon Saar, pairs with the last remaining human and undertakes an epic journey to find the Gods, in a time when our galaxy is about to collapse. Will they succeed before that happens?
Their quest begins here and now, with the awakening of the First Song.

What are these songs and many other info will be soon revelead on my blog

There is also a ‘making of’ coming soon so quickly subscribe to the RSS feed in order to find out as soon as it’s released!

I finally had time to do a personal matte and this time I wanted to go for something more illustrative and full of small but many detail.

A continuation of the Legends theme (started with Temple of Nature), Pirate's Cove illustrates a legendary gulf with a beauty that surpasses any Caribbean island, a place for all Pirates to gather, catch up, drink and reload their supplies.

It's like their holiday resort

Original size is of 4000 pixels wide and I painted a bit loose at that size (You can see that in the closeups)

I hope you like it!]]> Wed, 02 Sep 2009 16:49:30 +0000 http://suirebit.cgsociety.org/gallery/783966

I was thinking that we don't see a lot of space scenes these days since everyone focuses on land and interiors, so here is my small contribution to this dying form of art

The image is done purely with texture work (planets) and painting (atmospheres and distant nebulas) + 3dsmax asteorids

Thanks for viewing and let me know what you think!]]> Thu, 09 Jul 2009 16:24:48 +0000 http://suirebit.cgsociety.org/gallery/750594

Hey guys,

Whoa, I finally have something new I can show

This is an illustration done for a book cover (with the same name), thus bear in mind the global composition is quite off - that is because the image will be cropped and then splitted in two, so I had to make a subject for both the right part and the center part.

This was a fun project spanned over 2 weeks

Technique wise, most of the terrain is painted, as well as some of the buildings, ships and many of the light details.

I used refs for the sky and some buildings and Greeble for parts of Ideo Sector (left).

Thanks for viewing and looking forward to hear your thoughts!

This is an enhanced version of the old Rock Towers image. I wanted to drift it away from the natural, realistic look it had and push it more towards a surrealistic, alien , cold, epic, ancient feeling, sending a strong message to your heart.

I hope I managed that.

An improvement or not, this is the mood I intended to have from the beginning]]> Tue, 09 Dec 2008 07:59:15 +0000 http://suirebit.cgsociety.org/gallery/581501

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!

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

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

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

Any comment is appreciated! A rate would be fine too
Thank you!]]> Mon, 06 Aug 2007 09:39:43 +0000 http://suirebit.cgsociety.org/gallery/569062

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....

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).
