Some Photos

I've been trying Photoshop CS3's auto-align and auto-blend functions. Great for merging images together to create panoramas.

Pipe Tunnel

Trying some stuff in Maya. Lighting and shapes and stuff. Yeah. I had way too many lights in this though. It took 2.5 hours to render.

Compass Still

I guess it's ok to post this since it's from the HD trailer that's been released. My painting is projected on the wall behind 'James Bond.'

Tim's Room

First time in a long time sketching with marker. Came out ok. I think my marker tips are getting a little soft though.

Island City Sketches


One of these days I'll get around to turning these things into matte paintings.

Quick matte painting demo/sketch to show someone how I would alter a photo. Original photo is the top one.

gun concept


Did this 'cuz my brother was asking about painting stuff. I had him create some shapes. Then I painted over this one and added some texture. Took about 1/2 an hour maybe.

OW :(

So why am I writing this? Because the tip of my left hand pinky really, really hurts when it pushes on anything. It started while I was playing guitar earlier. I think the callous got worn off and the skin is thin or something. It's kinda hard typing without the use of 1 finger. I hope this doesn't last too long.

Wii

My Wii pulsating in the dark. Cool and eerie at the same time.

Clouds


From Monday, Dec 18th. I don't think I've ever seen these kind of clouds over southern CA, usually only over the Sierras. Pretty cool. They didn't last very long.

Hills Above Hong Kong

Sketch from a photo... well, maybe a little more than a sketch. Took maybe 4-5 hours, part of which was trying lots of brushes to get the foliage looking correct.

More minor tweaks and stuff. Can't seem to be totally satisfied with this yet.

Volcano City

I've been tweaking this old one... was never really 100% happy with it. Desaturated a lot of things, changed the ocean color a little, added some haze/mist over the water, plus a bunch of other really small tweaks.

Quick Matte Painting

Here's a quick matte painting I did for fun. Well, quick by matte painting standards anyway. It's not real hi-res or anything, and a little more grainy than I would have liked. Still looks like a nice place to visit though.
