Charity Painting MONSOON SEASON

My awesome girlfriend Frances Ratner has recently taken a life changing opportunity helping out as a volunteer worker for Women's Empowerment in India. She will be spending 3+ months abroad and before she goes in mid July she wants to raise some funds to buy text books and teaching material for the children and women she is going to be working for. Her goal is to make $750 through donations and by selling some of her items.

She asked me to paint a picture for her blogs title so I did and came up with a good Idea to make a full on print quality art work measuring 50cm by 17.3cm. I have donated a nice exclusive edition giclée print of it to her as an auction piece, and I also think there will be a smaller edition which will be randomly given to one lucky person who has donated $ through a lucky draw system (THIS WILL BE CLARIFIED ON HER BLOG).

Have a look at her blog and see if you can help. http://francesabroad.blogspot.com/

The Sacred Land

keeping the gates

This is a speed painting which I produced under an hour in Photoshop I will need to make a final polished version of it one day but I think as a concept piece, it serves its purpose.

flight Path

I thought I would change it up a little and do something completely different from what I was doing.

I wanted to explore colour and a dynamic composition with this one. I slanted the picture which gave it an off balance feeling and added lots of depth by adding a plane flying into the picture.

Marine

I decided to model this marine. Have a look http://www.raph.com/3dartists/artgallery/imagePage?iid=6592 and the artist Vitally Bulgarov. It has his render of this same suit which he modeled.

It has been my inspiration for a while now so I thought I would compare my skills. I spent 5 hours on the polly modeling in Maya and soon to put it through MudBOX.

Just want to make it clear that I did not come up with the concept for this marine but used it as a little practice for myself as I thought it was quite epic. Vitally Bulgarov based his design on the StarCraft 2 Marine.

skinny police

I havnt modeled a highly stylized 3D character before so I thought I would have a go at making a skinny police man. He is on holiday and playing a bit of golf when all of a sudden someone stole his ball so he draws his gone on the guy. At the moment Im adding some detail and modeling his golf clubs and gun.
