HRT

This one was created on one evening, just for fun. I tested the performance of my machine in apophysis and fiddled around with the results in photoshop. What i had on my screen in the end looked kinda cool so i thought i’d create a spontaneus wallpaper pack. =) It contains all the important sizes from 800×600 to 1920×1200… 6 digfferent sizes. So there should be a fitting one for everybody!

Have Fun!

This is Maya. I chose this name because of these beautiful fresh colors. I think it fits pretty well there.

It’s christmas time! I really hope you enjoy the days and have some fun! 2007 i created a deviantart.com journal css design, with help of a friend, for you folks. This year, because of all the requests for hi-res wallpapers, i created a nice collection of 1920x1200s for you! Some of you might know that i look at these hi-res things very critical/sketical. It just offers more chances for rippers to get quality material. So this PACK will only be available a LIMITED TIME!!! I don’t know for how long i will leave it online… but at least two weeks. So get it as long as it’s fresh and tasty!!! =) Enjoy it!

Merry Christmas Ladies and Gentlemen. Thanks for the support this year!

Regards

UPDATE JAN. 16th: Alright – time is up. Hope everyone who got the pack enjoys the 1920 wallpapers! =)

MISTRAL COAST

This project started as a commission and ended as a personal project. I had some wonderful photo plates i started to fiddle around with. Then the client jumped off and i continued on it myself. No big story behind it actually. Just another scene that i would love to witness with my own eyes… ‘for real’ so to say. I have had this ‘big alien monolith’ kind of theme in previous paintings too… and i guess it follows me. Let’s just say we colonize other planets and happen to find these huge structures. Scientists are trying to analyze them. Soon they find out that they’re some alien relic. They emit some sort of energy to the planet atmosphere. But what exactly is happening? It could end in a surprise…

Maybe a bit inspired by the mass effect game again. But it was more the opening sequence of wing commander III. There was this huge spaceship crashed into the sea and the name of the place was ‘mistral’. I always liked that name and the idea of a beach scene on another planet.

Technically i worked with digital matte painting techniques to get it done. I wanted to have a photoreal look for it. I did not do a photoreal painting in a while… so i wanted to have something done again. Stocks used for the beach, own photo material used for other elements. The monoliths and some vegetation done with vue. All combined in photoshop. I took myself some with this one so the work took place over a period of two months. Maybe 40hrs of work in it.

THE SHIELD

This one was an idea i had in my head for the last few weeks. I took it to refine my skills using vue and photoshop to create some cool concept arty like stuff. Much like the ‘chase III’ piece, which i finished a few days before this one, i wanted to show a pretty desolate place. The sci-fi background story ‘could’ be something like mining corporations that try to drill for very rare materials on extremely dangerous planets. Due to the atmospheric conditions on that planet some very rare materials could evolve there. Of course there are companies that would risk everything to get those. To work on mines like the ‘shield mines’ is definitely not comfortable. The atmosphere outside consists of floating fires that could burn a man within seconds. It’s as dangerous as it is beautiful. Only special equipment makes it possible to go outside. Of course no one really ‘wants’ to go outside. In the end you can only hope for a cool breeze. =)

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!
