heros with color




Adding flats to the line art....deciding on color layout for the two....pink too much?
I like it for its symbolic value, but also because it reminds me of Cosmic boy's old costume....

(Have you seen Gary Franks current run on Superman? LOVE IT!!)

my 1st matte file


After mysearch for for photos,from image collections of from the Internet, I quickly copy/paste selections with the lasso tool into my painting. I make these selections very rough for two reasons: 1.If I would have made too careful selections I would have interrupted the initial matte painting process where I still don't really know which direction I will be taking. Also, these selections would probably get overpainted anyway later on. 2. By making the edge quite apparent I'm forced to paint in the surrounding details in order to blend the collaged element with the background to make everything look coherent. So, heres the 1st step, the background elements....

matte painting


Heres the process of creation of the matte painting "Rock bridges", inspired by the magnificent works of matte artists in the book "D'Artiste: Matte Painting" (Ballistic Publishing) which compiles some of the richest collection of techniques and works related to matte painting. I strongly advise anyone interested in matte painting to aquire this book. You will not be disappointed!1st up; my sketch of the basic idea.....tomorrow, the reference pics used to create the matte painting...
