A Poster art for the upcoming browser game: Cruel Eye. Starships were made in Maya and the background eye shaped supernova is a digital painting.

Client wanted some fires in the ships although there's no fire in space, so it's not my fault]]> Tue, 27 Oct 2009 11:38:51 +0000 http://velarion.cgsociety.org/gallery/816029

A giant starship patrolling slowly in a desert planet.

This time I made a different approach to my style and instead of dark, very clouded landscapes, I prefered a bright one. I think I'll try more bright paintings like this one. Hope you like it..]]> Tue, 23 Jun 2009 08:30:42 +0000 http://velarion.cgsociety.org/gallery/759558

This is the latest matte painting for my personal portfolio. This is a fictional city which has Roman and ancient Egyptian influence. Arcus means archway in latin (pls correct me if I'm wrong)

The overall story is; there is a an ancient structure looks like a collosal bridge.It's unknown that who built it and who lived in it. But this bridge was a city itself, with narrow corridors, archways. But it's ancient and now deserted. A new civilization built their cities near this bridge structure and also discovered it's ancient halls. Maybe they use it for food and weapon stock, or maybe homeless use it for shelter. Anyway this is the overall atmosphere I created in this painting. Any c&c are welcome, I hope you like it..

P.S.: Thanks to my beautiful girlfriend for lift idea. Yeah I really wouldn't walk all the way to the top of the city really
