CDS12032009 – Creation Process – High Quality – Here we go with a cityscape kind of thing. We use perspective lines that help us to keep everythng straight and somewhat realistic looking. At least in perspective. The painting, of course, is very loose. I also tried to get in some colors. I kinda like the result of this one! Hope you too. =)

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. =)

CRYSTAL LAKE

This one was in the works for quite some time now. I’m not entirely happy with the results but i did my best to make it look somewhat interesting. Again it’s a try in digital matte painting combining rendered elements with photo. A friend of mine always said that i need something snowy for my portfolio and so i did it. I did not have any specific concept in mind for this one except the fact that i wanted crystals in there. The photos i used are none of the ones i shot while visiting a friend in austria. Those will come handy in later projects. The crystals were modeled in C4d and imported into Vue. There i created an eco system and painted them onto the landscape. Worked pretty good! Only the integration process in Photoshop was quite difficult. Some pieces are fun to work on and others can become quite heavy work. This one was work. Nonetheless i hope the stormy mountain atmosphere works and you’ll get some goosebumps from the cold the image shows!

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…

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.

It’s been a while with concept art gallery additions. The time was not wasted! If you follow my news then you already saw 2 creation progress videos of two ship designs i did. There is more to come. But for now i updated my concept art gallery with 13 designs. Among them the recent vidcap designs and the one’s i still have to upload. Hope you enjoy what you see and get some inspiration there!

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.

This time i’m happy to announce a new addition to the tigaer-design.com crew! It happened pretty unexpected and i hope it’ll result in some fun for everyone. =) We are all still trying to warm up on each other. Once that is done… all will be fine!

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