Dragon vs Bee

Entry for the 2D Rock-off #3 by nJoo

That was one weird topic. But it was fun to actually come up with somthing O_o. (buttocs defence)

Well the concept is a giant queen bee protecting it's nest against a marauder dragon. The stinger is superheated to a very high temp. as to cut through dragon's armor. The wings are retracted into the shell as to not being dmged in the melee. the swarm of regular bees is following the battle and act as a smoke sheild for the queen. There is no particular poison on the stinger but it does draw metal from anything it stuck into wich include dragon blood, making queen bee the most effective protection against dragons and other armored creatures.

Huldra

Huldra appears in old Scandinavian folklore as a seductive forest creature, the Lady and ruler of the forest.
The huldra is stunningly beatiful, but if you saw her from behind you could see she is hollow with a hole in her back, just like an old tree.
She also has an animal's tail, in Norway it's a cow's tail, but in Sweden(where I live) it is usually a fox's tail.
Huldra is very interested in humans, especially men, and rewards those that are kind to her, but she can make your life miserable if you make her angry.
In some traditions, she lures men into the forest to make romance (sex), again rewarding those that gives her satisfaction and often killing those who don't or refuse her.
Sometimes she marries a local farm boy.When they are married in church, the tail falls off. If the man doesn't treat her right, she will be incredibly ugly and the husband will suffer greatly throughout the marriage.

ManFace

Hi.
Long time ago I had made the basic model of a head, around of 30000 poly, but I had no time for work above textures. It is my first finished head. I did not use shaders and I wanted to work only with textural maps, it for my own interests. I have no good PC for work above HD models in 5 - 6 million poly and I worked with a structure of a skin . Final render had been made around 30 seconds, and then I corrected color in Photoshop.
Other two render:

Bliss

Thousand of years
we have lived side by side
in the land between day & night
Yet, you have never understood

In shadowland
You scream, you run
pray for the sun to return

Always the fear in your eyes
You say we are heartless
Evil

You have never understood
There is no choice
It is survival

In the thick grey darkness,
Open your eyes and see
There they are, the little ones

Not evil
Only love

In the land between day and night
We have children too

PhotoshopCS2, personal reference used for the child.

Underwater Tango

I wanted to paint a mermaid/butterfly image ever since I first heard Pati Yang's Pretty Fin. While the sole meaning of the song is quite debatable, the part that actually inspired me is a part that doesn't appear anywhere in lyrics sheets (websites, CD booklet and such), but she still sings it... something about underwater butterflies and lilies looking scary from beneath. :]

I was given a short brief, just telling me to paint a female character from head to hip wearing traditional Japanese dress, while leaving the background quite blank. Everything else was left up to me.

I looked at loads of photos for this one, as I'd never really painted asian facial features, or a proper kimono. Pictures of Tea Ceremonies inspired the pose.

The gates and ships are 3D with some matte painted details, the rocks are assembled from about 7 or 8 rock photos I took during a recent trip to Big Sur, manipulated and painted over heavily in Photoshop.

U-boat have always fascinated me not so much for the war and guns aspect, but of the design, clean lines, and having lots of gears, cogs and what not. I did this as if it was a museum piece that had been left as it was after the war, as a tribute to fallen glory. Being American I could have done an American sub from that period but our did not look as interesting until later on.

The Rescue Assaulted

Greetings, this was my entry for the Cgtalk's Uplift Universe CgChallenge. When I looked at it again, I find it really lacking in a lot of areas. Especially after I've bought and used the Spyder3 Elite Color Calibrator device. The resulting colour is quite off and not as I originally intended. So I revised it again with some extra lighting and tweaking, adding the forgotten 'lens flare' touch and some overall noise effect.

Hope you like it.

The modeling was done in Blender and the render in Indigo. The main image rendered at about double the resolution seen here for about 10 hours. The vignettes on the right are earlier test renders which I pasted together.

Adorable Alien

This piece was done for the latest (as of this writing) CGSociety Challenge, the theme for which was alien/human interaction, and was awarded the Excellence Award (aka 2nd place.) The general idea was inspired by my adorable toddler son. Does he get tired of people lifting him up and marveling at how cute he is? Or does it get a bit tiring after a while? How would we humans feel if someone were to do that to us? That was the inspiration, anyhow. Either way, it's always a blast to get to design a new alien race in an interesting setting. Hope you like it!

abandoned platform

Hi again, again. Here is my update for the day. This image, I made some time ago when i began as a concept artist at Deadline games. It is not for a particular game just a random image where I wanted to show an environment. It is painted entirely in photoshop and took about 2 days.

Anathema

Anathemis, so named for the hatred that people feel for her and her race. Hunted like wild animals by keepers of the myth, a species close to the edge of extinction. Elders would have you believe her and her kind to be mythical, urban legends or none existent....but they live, they roam and they feed.

Completely realised PS CS3 Extended, this image has taken about 15 hrs to create. A lesson in depth and colour manipulation from start to finish.

All c & c welcome.

Humane_yourself

It shows the west trying to saw off its "horns" of greed, and fighting to get away from its animalistic heart, and trying to humane himself so he will see others suffering and need of help. The demons of greed and envy is looking on at a distance. They are loosing their grip.

Robot in warehouse

Hi again. Another update to this web place. This painting is from january, I think! The perspective was planed out in SketchUp6 and then painted in Photoshop. It took about 2 to 3 days in total. (had some breaks from it!). Hope it is something you like. at least its something I like...

Keepers of the Green Buyon Swamp

Keepers of the swamp are mostly night creatures. Lit by the not so distant Aghaar Volcano mountain fire, they are enyoing their swamp patroling. Of course, that is good oportunity for a good green bath.

Tresure of the Buyon Swap are gleaming Buyon crystals. Nobody know how they appears upon the poisonus water, here an there, but they are greatly valuated.

Main swamp creature model and some terrain done in Zbrush, and then heavily overpainted in Photoshop.

C&C appreciated....

Harmony - Old city dwelling - 3D version.

Hi there, this is a collab work, a 3D version of one of my digital paintings – concepts, “Harmony – Old city dwelling. Friend at work, Sajid Saim, the person who made all those previously shared 3D versions of my paintings, made this in maya. He did all the modeling and lighting, I did keep an eye on the over all look development of the entire scene and offered little help with texturing as well. I really liked the modeling part that my friend did, with all those little, intricate details and that too, a lot of it. Only those trees are ready made models, that have been used.

I do hope u all like this scene.

Here is the link for the painting that has been used here:

Beauty and the Beast

Soleil Productions, my french publisher asked me to draw an illustration for an art book. The subject was : angels and demons.
I do not like the usual images of angels with wings on their backs. I think this is very common and cliché (that is my opinion of course).
I prefer to play with my favourite subject: the ambiguity.
Who is the angel where the devil in this picture? I ask the spectator, while leaving the choice ...

Oh one last thing: Do not ask me what are the red lines from the body of the beast, I do not know myself ! ^0^

Early morning.

I've always been in love with architecture. Aspecially with the old one. And mostly with architect of the Medici's ages. Find it really magnificient, so deisides to make some matte-painting of a street at the early morning lighting. Don't really know, if i've hit the goal in it, cause spent about four days, in pic is almost four hundred layers... So, my eyes are really soaped on this composition... But anyway, hope you'll like it.

Captain

Hi.
Here is my try of some character design.
Let's call her, for example, Tameha. She is from old indian reservations. And, she is a captain of some huuuuge space battleship-destroyer, proudly named "Tatuin". Friends-pilots calls her - angry Manitu in skirt. Whatever noone never saw her in anything like civil clothes. Likes to fly, old movies of Stanley Kubrick, her, emmmm, lets call this thing - dog, some unusual green creature from Jupiter. Loves to listen old classical "rage against the machine" - it calms her down, and she has a lot of fellows. Who are, i may guess, same crazy persons as Tameha. But them ill show you a bit later. If you have nothing against.
And, sorry for my rubbish english.
Hope you'll enjoy this pic.

Lonely Hunter

Again an attempt to bring a 3D render into something more artisitc and atmospheric, getting rid of the clean and unpersonal CG look. Thanks for viewing and comments you might have. BTW...any type of constructive critiques are most appreciated !

Light your wisp

Hello :)

This is a design of a wisp in it's atmosphere. I've made it for a Role-play Company. The woman gloom's at the wisp's beauty. The way she looks at it shows how wonderful she believes wisps are. The picture has also another meaning. That sometimes in life we must stop rushing and look around for a moment. For there are so many wonderful things around us.

Keep your enemies closer

The woman and a guard (man on the background) were searching in the forest for her lost mother. The search lead to an organ trader that was hidden in the forest. Seeing all the guts shocked the guard and he fainted. The mean man in leather armor (organ trader) caught the girl and tried to stab her. <br><br>Meanwhile, the guard awoke and in a rush stabbed his sword straight trough him and accidentally through her. In the end completely shocked by his deeds, the guard ran off, leaving the two of them to the rats.

Life feeds on life feeds on life….

A little multiple-choice: A darkelve vampire is draining a Lammakuma. The man on the background is…
A: going to drain the girl-----B: going to hug his hungry girlfriend-----C: going to kill her-----D: going to steal the Lammakuma-----E: … *own answer*

Since it's just a portrait, I wanted to give it something extra, it is the job of the viewer to make it's own story.

Battle between Krsnik and Shtrige

This picture shows battle between Krsnik and Shtriga - legendary shapeshifting supernatural beigns of Istrian Folklore (Croatia). They are beginning a fight on the crossroad; Krsnik represents good, and he is shapeshifting into a dog, with powerful spell. The many Shtrigas are charging at him from the sky (whitches) and they are turning into a black cats. In fact those beigns are during the day ordinary men ad women. During the night they are fighting their secret wars...

Done for domestic Festival of myths and Legends of Istria (taking place at the beginning of August 2008 at Pican, Istria, Croatia), as a visual for poster, brochure, web site etc.

I experimented a lot in this piece, using many software techniques, but main role here played Zbrush and Photoshop.

Original file is 4500 x 4500, so lots of work and details...

Hi everyone!
This work was done in photoshop by tablet assistance- Digital drawing.
Everything it is drawn from my head, I have not used any photo reference.

Morovi the Devourer

"Indeed indeed, the point," said Death languidly like he had all the time in the world. "I come for you, Crow."
He pointed at Sckelg and suddenly everyone who had previously been around him had retreated to a safe distance like he was going to be struck by lightening.
Sckelg laughed nervously.
"Hahah...what's so special about me...hehehe...surely nothing...hehe...I'm sure your mistaken...I'm not going to die am I?"
His eyes bugged out and his knees started to shake.

Death sighed, no doubt having seen this a hundred times over.
"No, fear not your life is not at it's end...yet."
"Hwooo...what do you mean by that!" said Sckelg, his hand going to his throat as if he could already feel the grip of death.
"Be at peace Mortal! I come not for your life!" said Death.
Sckelg sighed and looked more jovial, with that same nervous laugh that was verging on the hysterical.
"I come to offer you a bargain."

"A Bargain? Like...what kind?" asked Sckelg shrewdly as if money was involved now.
"A Bargain, that if you should accept, will bring your beloved back to you, to the Land of the Living."
Sckelg was listening now.
"Now wait a second I know your tricks, you could say that then produce her to me as a corpse! I want her living and in perfect health, with no disfiguring diseases or mental trauma, you have to be specific and not take anyone else to replace her with-"
"You're a shrewd man, you have my word that there will be no trick or play on words in this bargain, your beloved will be restored to you as perfectly as the day she was born-"
"Uh! And by that you mean presumably at her current age?"
Death looked caught in the act and knew he couldn't pull the wool over this Mortal's eyes.
"Very well! You have my word she will rejoin you in the land of the living as sound as any healthy mortal her age."
Sckelg looked pleased that he'd won this victory.
"And what do you want me to do?"

Raystlind grinned and Sckelg didn't quite like it any more.
"You, Crow, are the only Mortal ever able to enter the Land of the Dead, through the Nine gates, and the Mists of Limbo, across the Valley and the Planes of the Dead, through the Forest of Thorns and to the very base of my Throne. It was you who gazed upon me at the very creation of time and took to the Sun King the meaning of true sorrow and despair! Thus said, it is you I wish to enter Caliga Ovissa now that you have the necessary power to do so, and confront the cause of my missing People. In doing so you will also find what took your beloved."
Sckelg looked apprehensive.
"So you know what it is then?"
"Indeed I do Crow! It is something known as a Devourer, you see...there are many types of Devourer, the kind you saw earlier that had poisoned the wood in the Heavens, I believe also they have some that can be enslaved by Mortals, but alas, the Devourer of which I speak, resides in Ovissa, hunting and devouring the souls of my lost flock...like a wolf you could say." said Raystlind grinning at Darren exposing a double set of sharp canines. "This...creature, is known only as Morovi, I have heard my people speak of it for it haunts the borders of the Mists. All I ask is that you find Morovi and destroy it."

Sckelg shifted on the spot.
"Can I take someone with me?" he ventured.
Death laughed.
"Take as many as you like, but Morovi will devour any it comes within reach of! And you Crow, have no soul, am I not mistaken? It was taken by the Senif Eye leaving you destined to wander Ovissa? Then Morovi will smell you faster! Do you really want to put such...long lived Mortals at risk as well as yourself?"
"I'll go with you! I don't have a soul either! I gave it to Aylind!" said Rozen stepping up to back up his friend.
Death shrugged.
"Go who will, the portal is open for you, all I ask of you is to kill Morovi, only then will the Bargain be fulfilled. I might even throw in a few souls to sweeten up the deal, if you impress me Crow as you did before when I offered you the Flower amid the Thorns. Back then you were but a boy, let's see what you can do as a man, destroy Morovi and I will see. What say you?"
He held out a thin hand.
Sckelg gripped his arm in a firm shake and they sealed the Bargain.
"It's done! I lost my chance back then, I don't intend to lose it again. Morovi is as good as gone."
"You have a lot of confidence, that is good, when you see Morovi you will need it."
"We'll see." said Sckelg releasing his arm.

The Trap

Xenomorphs can set traps also! Carrara seemed to need an image. . .so this is one.
