THE CHASE III

The primary thing i wanted to accomplish with this quickie was to define a dangerous looking world. The fact that it turned out to be a ‘chase’ piece developed very late in the making. When i had the landscape close to done i saw that the canyon somehow looked perfect for a typical ‘chase’ scenario. So i took the chance. Technically i used a rendered vue plate to nail me the lighting and atmosphere. The vue picture is surely overpainted 99%. The final looks very concept arty and dirty. Exactly how it was intended. love it!

Due to a problem i had with my galleries i updated my wordpress to 2.6. Unfortunately it did not solve the problem. After some heavy trail & error i found a rather unconventional way to solve my problem. Thank god. I also restructured the galleries a bit. As you can see, in the menu on the right, there are two digital painting galleries now. I had the feeling to keep it the way it was might have resulted in a too overloaded gallery. Splitting it up leaves a bit more room to breathe. I’m also thinking about doing that with the photo gallery. We’ll see. That’s pretty much it for now.

Have fun on the site!

STORMHAVEN

Stormhaven was in, kind of, production for surely 2 months now. Every now and then i did a bit on it. Tried tons of things. Not everything worked out as expected. Nonetheless i hope the long time did not hurt the overall impression of the image. At first i made the environment fit together with a nice lighting. Rather in the end i added this city like element which is kind of a haven for all kinds of flying vehicles. It’s clearly fantasy and i like the wideness of it. Pure photoshop work this time. No help of 3d elements.

Here i have a small collection of pics regarding the exhibition that started 2 weeks ago. The bitterfeld wasserzentrum is a complex built off an old water reserve structure. Now it’s a well known place for schools to visit because they transformed it into a place of learning. Now you can learn everything about water, how we can handle and what we can do with it, there. Lots of great experiments you can try yourself at. A fun place! Like i earlier said, exhibition wise, it’s a nice thing to talk to people who are interested in what you’re doing and what you have to show. It can be quite a motivation and i had a nice time explaining my stuff. And, as far as i can tell, people enjoyed listening. All in all a very satisfying experience for me. And i think everyone who attended had a nice time too.

A few weeks ago i mentioned an exhibition. Which is exactly opening this weekend in my old hometown bitterfeld. It was quite some work to get the pics up there. Now everthing is prepared and i hope it all works out nicely. I’m not overly excited but nonetheless it’s nice and i’m glad to have the chance to see the printed pictures in good size. Among the pictures, which were sponsored by ORWO pixelnet, are examples from all through the series. A bit from everything. A colourful mix. Now lets see if i can get something out of it. I hope i can post some pics when i’m home again. The heat is killing me here and i need my own bed desperately! For now a thanks to everyone who was helping us pulling it off.
