Been messing around in World Creator trying to come up with some cool landscapes to act as a jumping off point for some concepts. I'm still learning the software but I'm having lots of fun so far!

I’ve been working my paintings too much lately. I find myself spending way too long on each piece, tweaking, adding detail and just noodling about. So I decided to keep it loose for some of these, just to get into the rhythm of producing pieces that are fast and loose without having to fuss about every little thing too much.

I’m currently working on a new project called Secret Labyrinth, which I’m hoping to wrap up in a month or so. That’s going to be released on the site so stay tuned for that.

In the meantime, here’s a little gif that hopefully gives some insight into how I work. It’s pretty straightforward. As always, I start with a thumbnail and from there, jump into 3D to block out my scene. From there it’s a mix of photobashing and painting to get to the final result.

I started a new project and thought it would be a perfect time to learn 3D Coat. 

I did the sculpting in 3D Coat and textured and lit it in Max using Corona Renderer. I'm still learning, obviously, but I can already see the potential of the program. It's a lot like Zbrush when it comes to modelling but without the buggy holes and weird geo.
