This is probably the 'simplest' of the three images I have produced in this style so far. Again, I was going for simple colour and shape to drive the image, no details. I hope it works. I enjoyed it and I'm really happy with this. Hopefully the idea of the image is still 'readable' in the simplicity.]]> Fri, 17 Apr 2009 17:53:37 +0000 http://kevinr.cgsociety.org/gallery/754170

Another one of my quick paint images, where colour and basic shape is the focus, and less detail is needed for the image to work. This started out as a few basic marks with the Chalk brush in Photoshop, and based on those marks developed in to this image. I love the rawness of it, and it was fun to work on.]]> Fri, 17 Apr 2009 17:50:00 +0000 http://kevinr.cgsociety.org/gallery/754166

This is something new I've been trying lately. Producing an image with less detail, worrying less about getting it 'right' or 'prefect' and just going in with colour and having fun, letting the colour do the work. I really enjoyed this and will definitely explore it some more. ]]> Fri, 17 Apr 2009 17:46:15 +0000 http://kevinr.cgsociety.org/gallery/749311

A portfolio piece. I'm experimenting with a new style/technique for colouring my images and have been itching to colour up this particular image, which I sketched a while back. I like it!]]> Fri, 03 Apr 2009 09:21:24 +0000 http://kevinr.cgsociety.org/gallery/738015

A personal work of mine. I really enjoy producing bright, colourful pieces, for all ages. I'm still getting to grips with my technique, and style, for these types of images. On one hand I would like to simplify more, but on the other hand I like detail and a more illustrative style as opposed to a graphic/designy style.

Anyways, I hope you like it.

Another routine assignment for our intrepid space explorers is about to go wrong...

This is the second image in my 'Space Cadet' series. Penciled and inked traditionally, then scanned in and colored in Photoshop.]]> Tue, 27 Jan 2009 17:30:42 +0000 http://kevinr.cgsociety.org/gallery/719054

A close up render of my Chopper model. Rendered with Mental Ray for Maya.]]> Mon, 30 Jun 2008 20:14:39 +0000 http://kevinr.cgsociety.org/gallery/648283

I finally got around to re-rendering this model. Previous versions were rendered with Maya's renderer, and I've always wanted to produce a better render, because I like the model. So I finally got around to learning a bit more about Mental Ray, and here it is.]]> Mon, 30 Jun 2008 20:13:24 +0000 http://kevinr.cgsociety.org/gallery/538889

This was created for one of the characters in the 3d webcomic 'The Premier' (www.redparkcity.co.uk). The characters name is Decker McPherson, and he's the bad boy/rebel in the story. After his last vehicle (a semi-truck) was lost in an explosion, Decker needed a new vehicle and we all thought the most suitable thing for him would be a chopper. My original plan was to call it the 'Scottish Chopper', 'cause Decker himself is Scottish, and I was going to have a predominately blue color scheme, to go with the St Andrew's cross flag. But as I was producing the bike I felt a more straight forward chopper design would be better, and opted for the black fenders with flame pin-striping. I feel the bike looks more intense this way and is something I am a lot happier with.]]> Tue, 11 Sep 2007 22:52:38 +0000 http://kevinr.cgsociety.org/gallery/538899

This shot shows off the detail in the engine, which I am REALLY happy with. When I started modeling this part, which took the longest of the entire model, I only had a basic idea of how I wanted to do it, but it ended up working out really well. And I managed to reduce the poly count quite a bit when it came to finalizing the model, and didn't loose any of the detail put into the engine. Nice!]]> Tue, 11 Sep 2007 23:13:32 +0000 http://kevinr.cgsociety.org/gallery/538895

This is a rear shot of the Rebel Chopper. Although the majority of this model has quite a few polys, I still tried to keep the overall count down where I could, in order to keep render times down to a minimum. The tires detail is obtained with a bump map, which worked out really nicely.]]> Tue, 11 Sep 2007 23:07:45 +0000 http://kevinr.cgsociety.org/gallery/635890

An idea I've had for quite some time, sketched it out and started working on it more than a year ago but never got anywhere with it, until now. I wanted to create an image with photographs and digital painting techniques.

I used the sketch as a guide and began compositing various photographs to build up the scene. I painted in elements using standard and custom Photoshop brushes. The vehicles were mostly painted, but also had photographic elements, which included the characters.

This was mostly an exercise in creating an illustration using matte painting techniques. I'm not too sure whether or not I'm happy with it, time will tell, but I do know that my next image will be a lot better, hopefully I've learned a few lessons from creating this image.]]> Thu, 03 Jan 2008 00:50:56 +0000 http://kevinr.cgsociety.org/gallery/635955

The football stadium for the fictional city of Red Park. Again this model had to be very user friendly and produce renders quickly, so a lot of the 'geometry' on this model had to be achieved by the use of textures and alpha maps.]]> Tue, 27 May 2008 14:55:23 +0000 http://kevinr.cgsociety.org/gallery/635916

Hospital Room created in Maya, with textures created in Photoshop. Real photo reference was used for all of the props in this scene.]]> Tue, 27 May 2008 14:52:54 +0000 http://kevinr.cgsociety.org/gallery/635911

City created for the comic strip 'The Premier, which I worked on for The Sun newspaper. I created the entire city of Red Park City, along with the football stadium. The city had to be light enough to work with on a daily basis, and to render really quickly, so the majority of these models work because of the textures, and not too much heavy geometry details. This scene was rendered with Mental Ray and then composited together in Photoshop with photographs for various elements, such as the background and characters.]]> Tue, 27 May 2008 14:50:45 +0000 http://kevinr.cgsociety.org/gallery/635904

Wire frame renders of my Queen character. Still a work in progress.]]> Tue, 27 May 2008 14:39:52 +0000 http://kevinr.cgsociety.org/gallery/374139

Hey everybody,

This is the Queen character from one of the personal projects that I am working on. This was painted in Painter. I have been a Photoshop user for many years but am really enjoying Painter now and will be doing many more works in it.

The project that I am working on is planned as a 3d graphic novel, but that might change in the future, depending on how long its all taking me.

Comments are most welcome. Thank you.
