sci fi concept art?

2009-09-15T20:18:00.001-07:00

The two concepts below were for a series of exercises in my advanced illustration class with instructor Don Giancola.

The assignment was to take Hemmingway's Old Man & The Sea, and make a sci-fi adaptation for it.
The two characters depicted below are Santiago and Manolin respectively.

My adapted story:

Santiago windsurfs / sails on these great hilled plains scouring the skies for flying manta rays.
The atmosphere has different ranges / depths; and at certain depths there is giant magic flying marine life.
Santiago fathoms rope / fishing line and then balloons them up into the sky using fishing "floaters".
Both characters keep a lot of their faces/bodies covered so they doesn't inhale all the billowing dust etc.

When Santiago hooks a catch eventually he brings it down to a lower altitude where he or Manolin can shoot the hunted beast with bow&arrow.

In the end, after catching a giant manta, Santiago loses the flesh of the beast to swarming seagulls.

VTOL Dropship 1 - Vehicle Concept Process

2009-03-31T21:31:00.001-07:00

This VTOL Dropship was designed for an SVA senior thesis short film called Abyssus.

Below is an outline of the steps I used to create the above concept. Enjoy!

Below are some of the silhouette studies I did before starting on my final render.

My initial silhouettes were a bit too contemporary. The last silhouette was a quick visualization on how I imagined the final VTOL concept would be able to move/transform/rotate its arms.

You can find more information about the short film Abyssus here: www.thesisabyssus.blogspot.com

Matte Paintings & Enviro. Concepts

2009-03-31T00:34:00.001-07:00

The above matte painting was done over a video plate of New York City. The matte painting was tracked on top of the video plate in After Effects CS3. The composite shot however was unsuccessful because there was too much lens barreling in the original video plate.

This castle on a hill is too work in progress.

Matte Painting: A Step by Step Process

Matte Painting & Final lighting pass test. 3D environment and compositing by Tim Doolen. An early version of my painting is being tested in the background.

This matte painting below is for an SVA senior thesis by Tim Doolen called Ultraviolence. Unfortunately I do not have a link to his short film at the moment.

Finals above. Architecture & without architecture.

Below outlines my process and development from the very earliest stages of planning and drafting.

Mech Dsgn 1. I was thinking, light mech anti-personel unit.
Can be adapted to use infantry small arms.

The above 3 are a series of character concepts I'm working on. They are being drawn in orthographic views because I hope to model them soon.

The above was a quick sketch I did for CG Society in the Dominance War4 Mini-game.
I didn't have time to finish though.

Sketches, work in progress, etc!
