Concept 1

Really inspired by deep sea stuff, and Tool, cuz I promised myself to never do drugs, so this will be the closest thing I'll ever come to being on an acid trip?...

I guess this isn't a fish thing, it uses that gas bag glowing thing to float?.... and then it can talk to you and watch TV with you or something.

Duo Rock

This was done for a commission involving chicks and guitars. Since I was given the liberty of the types of guitars, I've decided to make them the Ibanez Jem and the Gibson Explorer, though I really wanted to add a 3rd player in there with a Les Paul : ( For the colours, I wanted to do something really psychedelic, sort of a haze from the music.

Stand In The Way

This was done for the submission for this year's D'artiste 2: Digital Paintings. I wanted to create some sort of storytelling between this character and things in the background, but ultimately it's really up to you guys to figure out what's going on.

Birds of War

I've been away for quite some time since my last upload, but I've managed to do some more stuff here and there.

Back then, I've had the urge to do some Transformers related art, so I wanted to overall create an outer space scene involving the most prominent villain according to me, StarScream. I've managed to find some interesting brush settings that allowed me to emulate the looks of rough metal surfaces like those found on fighter jets. Also I found it interesting to contrast the looks of solid metal against the soft passing clouds in the background.

Some details can be found here:

All done in Photoshop CS, slight references used for the Transformer(due to the fact that most found were of very low res to use), but a lot on the Raptor fighters
