Week 6 sketch

A sketch from memory which I did in lesson

Week 6 Drill

For this drill we had 1 hour to create a Matte picture using the technique from our home work the week before, I used four reference images from the internet to create my final piece


 
I have taken these images and put them into my scene using the tools in Photoshop, this required lots of cutting and pasting. used a layer mask with a color dodge (add) brush to draw on my lighting.

Afterwards I added in my sky and then rendered in some clouds to get the smokey effect. I also tweaked the clouds to get a more oil paint effect.

Ralph Mcquarrie Art Work

This is some art work from the famous artist Ralph Mcquarrie concept artist for the original Star Wars films and Battlestar Galactica, I love the look and feel of this kind of art work.





   

Week 1 Inspirational Lighting Image





















I have chosen this image because it has a dark and mysterious feel to it, the lighting also looks realistic which is what I am going to try and aim for. I also Like the way the light is reflected in different ways from different types of materials such as the metal on the car and the concrete on the floor.

Week 1 Inspirational Image

I have decided on my final inspiration image to use for my project that I am confident I will be able to produce something of this quality with a few minor changes. After showing my reference image to another they said that I could possibly get to a quality similar to the image but thinks my textures won't be as good as the image. I am hoping that with a little practise I will be able to prove them wrong.

I have Chosen this image because It has a science fiction style which is something that I find interesting and would want to create.
