Hi,
This is one of a personal series of movie's stars portraits that I'm doing for my portfolio.

PS CS2 and Painter X for drawing and rendering. Wacom Intuos 2 9x12 on a PC as my hardware for this one.

Hi, this is an Illustration that I did for a science and pop culture called "Superinteressante" published in Brazil in 2004 for an article about the different visions of Jesus in history and cultures.

My briefing was to illustrate the influences of Jesus ideas and philosophy on pop culture and at that time (2004) on the popular Matrix series. For that I did a mix of a classic Jesus interpretation with a classic Neo pose and look.

The hebraic code is just for visual effects and a link with the matrix code, and it doesn't mean anything.

Sketchs done in paper with pencils, Painter and Photoshop for the final rendering. ]]> Sat, 31 Mar 2007 16:08:10 +0000 http://schaal.cgsociety.org/gallery/464812

Hi,
This is an Illustration that I did for the Brazilian edition of Playboy magazine for an article about the new wave of Sci-Fi , where the fantasy and fantastic are winnnig the battle over the technological and more traditional Sci-Fi. My briefing was to create a tipical fantasy art scene where a "conan style" Warrior and his sensual Girlfriend fights against some "I Robot style" Robots.

Something like Robert E. Howard versus Isaac Asimov.

Who wins the battle?

I did this image with an experience purpose of mix some technics to estabilsh a concept and an art direction for a 3D character.

I started with a base mesh head that I modelled in Silo, I did a brush based modelling in Mudbox beta to change the topology to concept this grey alien, after that I did a quick render in Maya with 2 area lights and a HDRI Map.

With that render as a base I did a PS paintover to better estabilish the final look of the image.

Sometimes I like to experiment and mix 2D with 3D (or vice-versa).

My briefing was to create some distincts vampires of diferent cultures.

I was in a mood to paint a submarine character, somekind of a sexy version of a black lagoon monster or Hellboy's Abe Sapien girlfriend. :-)

It took me about two hours to complet in PS CS2 with a Wacom Cintiq.]]> Thu, 06 Jul 2006 15:41:28 +0000 http://schaal.cgsociety.org/gallery/367850

A painting made with ArtRage 2, PS CS2 and Wacom Cinitq for training purposes.

I did this without any photo or model reference, Its just an exercise of color, brush strokes and a little of impressionist school in digital tools. I started in Art Rage 2, sketching the shapes with oils and In PS I did my over painting and final details.

A sketch of a Humphrey Bogart portrait made in PS CS 2 in about an hour in a PC PIV with a Wacom Cintiq 21 UX.

Itīs finished. My Master and Servant piece.
At 5'o clock in the morning (local time) I uploaded it.
A lot of tinny creatures and probably the smallest nude girl in the world :-).
Photoshop and Painter help me to finish my idea of an artist chained to his work, and being servant of his creations. Something similar occurred to me in the last 4 days, hehehe.
Thanks to all who comments in my thread and help me with good critics to finish this on time.

Hi to everyone, I`m new here and this is my first post, a digital concept painting that I did in Painter and Photoshop for a 3d head model (still in progress) done in Maya.
I use a classic traditional acrilic style of painting adapted to the digital realm, that consists in underlayers of transparent colors overpainted with more opaque colors and some color pencil lines for fine details and contours.
Thanks

Hi, this is an illustration that I did for portfolio and training purposes, based in some comic book characters created by friends of BigJack Studio in Brazil.
I tryed to achieve an early 90's look of painting and texture work with this piece, something that I used to do with acrilics, gesso, paper and airbrushes, but adapted to my digital painting style.
Photoshop CS2 for painting, color correction and texture work, and Painter for painting work.
