I did this piece awhile back, but have recently revisited to try and polish it with some Spring loving. It was done both in Photoshop and Painter.

A band of three walk through a fabled land of debris and ruin. It's said that within this land Sirens call out taunts which madden all manner of men that hear them.
In their rage, these misguided souls search out the hidden hecklers that call out to them. Unheeding of the steep cavernous drops, they eventually discover only the silence of The Eternal Sleep.

This started off as a test for some nature brushes I was building in photoshop, but I ended up expanding it until we have what you see. That happens alot with newly built brushes, damn their sexy possibilities...

Feel free to crit and comment as you wish, thanks for looking.

Peace, Monster, Grinning Skull.
Maybe not the likely choice for many, but visually that's what comes to mind when I consider death throughout the ages. Discuss! :P

Oye, not sure how long this one took. I had a different version of it, but since then I've revamped it a few times, sadly I'm not too sure I like this version more from the previous one, but I'm too stubborn to admit that the last couple of hours were a waist so I'm posting the new version instead!

As always, crits, comments, questions, it's all welcome
And thanks for taking the time.

And to think, maybe if our first ancestors had been a little more partial to one sort of grub over another this could have been us, and Mr. Crepe might have been a runway model...
then again earths gravity and exoskeletons... hmmm...

This was done a while back in PS and Painter, can't quite remember how long it took, 10 hours I think. Any crits, comments, questions are most welcome.

Peace!]]> Mon, 26 Nov 2007 22:03:51 +0000 http://rasdasa.cgsociety.org/gallery/585081

Yet another one I did a few months back, but here it is now., pickled and all!
The whole piece was done digitally, from sketch to finish. I used Painter to work out the preliminaries (gesture, lighting) and then switched between it and Photoshop as the painting progressed.]]> Thu, 17 Jan 2008 05:04:22 +0000 http://rasdasa.cgsociety.org/gallery/574503

Another one bites the dust.
Here is a messy attempt at some sort of morbid+quirky procession.
Done in about 8-10 hours, the gist of it spent on trying to not make the piece seem overly static.

Crits/Comments are certainly welcome, and thanks for taking the time!]]> Wed, 19 Dec 2007 02:58:23 +0000 http://rasdasa.cgsociety.org/gallery/579663

Another one I did a little ways back.
It was commissioned by the UofT Psychology devision to more clearly test patients ability to better differentiate between leader and follower. You'd be surprised at how many individuals thought the gun was the leader....

Pffff, / I joke, I joke!

Anyways, not sure how long it took, sorry, but the early sketch was done in Painter, then transfered to Photoshop to "finalize".

As always, crits and comments are most appreciated!

Thanks.

Well, I don't paint women very much, especially in a complete piece, so I decided to give it a shot this time around.
I see a lot of very fit ladies depicted online, so in the spirit of breaking the mold a tad, I decided to give this one a bit more meat while still keeping her elegant.

Please feel free, as always, to leaved feedback and crits.

Thanks for taking the time.

Traveling This Flat Land Of Ours: Lesson 27
There is a small town East of here by the name of Flush Town, renowned for its giant birds. These enormous feathered spectacles are used as artificial wind producers, powering windmills, filling sails on great ships, blowing kites ever farther.
Granted, it's not the most efficient solution to some of their energy problems, but alas, it brings in the occasional tourist... which they then feed to the birds...
You've been warned.

Just some violent revelry. Took about 6-7 hours to complete, since most of it is silhouette. Off on travels for the next two week so decided to post something before then, hope you enjoy and crit/comment!

And if you have any questions I'll make sure to get back to you when I myself am back

In battle, there is usually that one moment that cements.
I figure it's probably when the 500 pound metal plated freak leaps for you in a feat of superhuman acrobatics.
Well, what else can a poor warrior do but slash away.
My final portfolio upload...for now!
Thanks for putting up with the barrage.]]> Tue, 08 Aug 2006 12:04:26 +0000 http://rasdasa.cgsociety.org/gallery/376289

Yet another from the portfolio,

This piece came about while discussing something with a friend and absently doodling. Sort of a happy accident. I then worked it up in Photoshop with a hard-edged circular brush and went in for a few different textural measures.
A little bit of Painter in there too, can't live without the Painter.]]> Sat, 01 Jul 2006 13:37:11 +0000 http://rasdasa.cgsociety.org/gallery/370159

A vicious killing machine, if not petted right.

Here is another from my portfoilio for the rack, crits be welcomed.

Some hunters enjoy the hunt, others appreciate the trophy, and some enjoy the flesh, cooked or raw.
To each their own.

As always, started off with a quick and loose gesture and then gave and took along the way until i had something "representable"]]> Fri, 23 Jun 2006 21:28:51 +0000 http://rasdasa.cgsociety.org/gallery/370834

Just some work in progress sillhouetes. Nothing special, done in PS.]]> Fri, 16 Jun 2006 15:24:31 +0000 http://rasdasa.cgsociety.org/gallery/370796

Sometimes I disgust myself, this piece right here is one of those times. *shakes head* ]]> Fri, 16 Jun 2006 13:56:40 +0000 http://rasdasa.cgsociety.org/gallery/370772

A painting of a portrait of Hammou-Chichi-El-Bachir-Ait-Oussa, from a gorgeous book entitled Maroco (Albert Watson)

mainly just practicing textures.]]> Fri, 16 Jun 2006 12:35:03 +0000 http://rasdasa.cgsociety.org/gallery/370164

Just a quick sketch of a woodly little cottage, certainly nothing special, unless a place like that existed.]]> Wed, 14 Jun 2006 22:16:47 +0000
