CDS26022009 – Creation Process – High Quality – And another one! This time a ship design again. I tried to do a something more exotic look here and i think i nailed it pretty good. I’d say it’s some sort of organic technology we see here. That’s at least what the insectoid look makes you think.

Hope you like! =) Next vid will be an environment again! Something futuristic! Stay tuned…

Depending on how the juices flow it’s 30/60mins time in these designs.

Have Fun!

Hope you can get some inspiration off of this. =)

CDS24022009 – Creation Process – High Quality – Like the previous shorts this one was also a test to find the right settings for screen recording. Here we have me trying so do some abstract landscape stuff. It was fun and i should do more stuff like this. This time i also changed the Photoshop setup so you people can see a bit what’s happening in the palettes.

CDS23022009 – Creation Process – High Quality – This is another test for capturing my work process on screen. This design looks much better than the previous one. That’s at least what i think. It’s a neat, slick and speedy flyer we got here. I noticed that i did not have the palettes on screen while working… so in the following, not this one, video i changed my photoshop layout from dualscreen to singlescreen so you can see a bit more what’s happening in the palettes.

CDS22022009 – Creation Process – High Quality – Right now i’m testing to screencap some of my painting work. I’m still trying to find the right settings. So this video, as well as the following videos, can be seen as a test.

I love it to create spaceship designs. For a few months now i’m trying myself in it and produced some nice results. I’m surely not the super hi-end concept artist but i think it’ll be, nonetheless, interesting to see how things take shape. Lets see what i can come up with doing these screencap videos inthe future. Have a few ideas. These shorts here are basically just a test. Have Fun!

Since, these days, i’m not a too inspired artist, i tried something i wanted to do for a while now. Recording the progress of my painting work on the screen. Now i know that live recording, while working in a memory hungry program like photoshop, can significantly slow down the whole machine. So ‘working’ becomes a pain in the a**. For now i only tried recording some of my concept work. Right now that means rough space ship designs like the ones you can see in the concept art gallery. Basically i’m just doing this to find out how it works. I also find it interesting to see how things take shape within the paintings. It’s plain fun. I’m currently thinking about getting me a new work machine here. This should make it much easier to record things. So in the future there may also be a progress video of one of my larger paintings. There are a few ideas in my head … we’ll see… =)

Even though i know that my concept art work is surely not the top notch stuff, i think it’s surely interesting to take a peek into them. Maybe there will be other artists following. Concept art stuff is fast to do and not too heavy when it comes to memory usage. So you can easily keep a recording running in the background. It’s fun. :)

The concept shorts will not be longer than 2mins and released here in 720p HD (quicktime), as well as youtube in reduced quality.

When i submitted the video to the various video galleries on the net, i also asked for sound designers who might be interested in doing some tunes for the shot. I think sound and music lift certain movies into higher spheres… especially when it’s atmospheric thick setups like the short movie i did with that painting. Music and sound helps to transfer the actual idea to viewer much much better. Two people contacted me because of my request. One made me a nice sound effect and the other created a very cool music piece.

Finally i got everything together with this animation. All done with after effects. I really learned some neat things on that project and want to take this chance to thank everyone who gave me hints on what to improve on the thing, while i was still working on it. It’s a short but nice animation i think. I hope you enjoy it. Even if the subject matter of the animation is pretty depressing. =) Find all the links, to my previous animations, below…

For the last couple of days i’m working myself a bit deeper into after effects. I must say that it’s a very very powerful tool. For my endeavour i decided to animate my latest ‘citizen erazed’ painting. I want to let it look very ugly and dirty. Like there really nothing is alive anymore. Devestated and destroyed. I will release the clip soon. It will be 35secs long. Sure no big thing. Nonetheless a lot of work went into it. Learned a lot and enjoy the result so far. =) Hope you’ll too. Stay tuned!

Regards

Here we are for another fine animation of one of my paintings. Once again a lot of work went into it and i hope it makes the experience/feeling of the painting itself a bit more like it represents a window to a different world. It’s not as spectacular as the w.o.l.f animation but nonetheless cool looking. I also took the opportunity to make a single video for the w.o.l.f project too. Find the link below…

It is done! After 3 weeks, of learning by doing, i finished my animation project. I prepared a high and a low res. xvid video for you to download. It’s 2:45 minutes long and with sound. I’m pretty proud of the result. It’s a nice feeling to see one of your worlds come to life. I must admit i could have worked another week on that monster, but i seriously have spent too much time on it now. It’s the first time i made an animation or movie/video at all and i hope the work pays off. I also hope you enjoy what you see.
