Forest Dream Environment Tutorial

 

Hello everyone. I know i've said a long time ago that i would be doing some tutorials on the process behind how i create my environment paintings. Well it's been long overdue, but here is the first of many to come. This tutorial was done for my latest piece Forest Dream. I've summarized most of the steps that i do and if you have any questions, feel free to ask away. If you are interested, there is a recorded video of me painting this on my livestream channel, so do check it out. Hope this tutorial will help some of the aspiring artist out there that are having trouble painting environments.

Forest Dream

Hello everyone once again. I present to you a new painting which i had been working on. The idea was to paint a forest scene with a dreamy feeling to it. I used really harsh lighting and atmospheric fog to portray this. Hopefully you guys enjoy this piece as much as i did painting it.

Castle Of Juno

Hello everyone. A new painting which i have been working on for the past week on and off.

I feel that there are certain things that i could have done better, but im going to call this piece done and move on. Hope you guys like it!

The Cold Fort

Hello everyone! A new concept painting done recently. Decided to go for an environment that is cold and has snow in it. A really fun piece to do, using different techniques and brush settings to achieve the wanted look for the piece. I had alot of fun adding the red colors into the scene. Red is a very difficult color to control, but hopefully it came out well here. Painted in Photoshop CS5 with Wacom Intuos 4.

Shipwreck'd And A Medieval Town

Assassin's Creed Tribute

Hello everyone. I'm back with a new painting, and this time, its a tribute piece i've done for Assassin's Creed. Although i haven't played the game, i love the concept work that was done for the game, especially the environment and characters. This concept matte painting i did was solely based on my interpretation of the game and is in no way linked to the original Assassin's Creed games. I used various matte painting techniques in this piece combined with some custom shape brushes to create the painting. Painted in Photoshop CS5 with Wacom Intuos 4. This one's for all you Assassin's Creed fans out there! Cheers!

Underwater Paradise

 

Hello all, a new digital painting which i have been working on over the past couple of days. This piece went through a couple of composition changes. It was meant to be a green jungle scenery piece, but i decided to switch to an underwater themed painting as i realize that i didn't have one in my portfolio yet. I used alot of different colours in this piece to enhance it visually for the viewers. Overall it was a really fun and challenging piece to work on as depicting underwater scenery is really difficult. Hope you guys like it as much as i had fun painting it! Cheers!

The Age Of Darkness

A new painting i started 2 days ago. Recently i've gotten alot of free time aside from work to do personal pieces and this is just one of many to come. For this piece, i used techniques taught by the amazing JonasDeRo. I'm sure most of you know who he is on DA. For those of you that haven't seen his work, please check his gallery as it is full of amazing paintings. I learnt alot by reading his tutorials and hopefully i didnt manage to screw this painting up too badly. Hope you guys like it :)

Flamingo Forest

Hello everyone. A new painting which i haven been busy with. Initially this was meant to be an experimental piece, playing around with the lasso tool and such. As usual, i went overboard and started adding in more and more stuff. This is the final result. It was a really fun piece to paint. I love using the lasso tool as it is super good for creating sharp edges and custom shapes. Hope you guys like this piece as much as i enjoyed working on it :)
