Matte Painting at Red Enging with Bruno Werneck

Here is my matte painting from the class I took with Bruno Werneck at Red engine last term.  I used some 3D for the columns and the rest is made from photos and paint.  The class with Bruno was amazing, I learned a lot and really enjoy the matte painting process.  I can see that I still have a long way to go but I feel that this isn't bad for my first attempt at a matte painting.  Feel free to leave comments and thanks for checking my work out.

Red Engine Vehicle Design with John Park and Albert Ng

Thank you John and Albert so much for such a rewarding class.  I learned so much and appreciate all the hard work you guys put in to helping us all.  I look forward to rendering out the projects I did for this class and continuing to design more vehicles and mechs for my portfolio.  I also want to thank, the students that made it all the way through the 8 weeks of class, I really learned a lot from you guys as well and was really inspired by all of your work.  I look forward to keeping in touch with all of you.  Here is the work that I have done for this class.

Thanks again,

 My vehicle is a South African military vehicle that is designed for D-9 part 2.  The main weapon on the vehicle is a gun attached to a extension arm that can rotate 360 degrees, reach over walls and around objects and has a higher viewpoint to see and shoot from.  The vehicle is opperated by 4-6 people and has 8 wheels because it drives through the slums.

I have some design changes that I am going to make for my final pass and I am going to render the vehicle out in 3/4 view and in action placed in a environment.  I will post that stuff when it is done for all of your feedback. 

My mech is a mech that works on a lava planet.  Its primary function is to direct the flow of lava and freeze lava walls that make the lava flow changes permanant, its secondary functions are to jack hammer and break up hardened lava rocks, move and lift heavy lava rocks and dig out and create new river beds. 

 

I have a few design changes to make to this mech and will render it out in 3/4 view and in action in its environment and will post those changes for you all to see.  Thanks for checking out my work.

fun assignment for Steve Jungs Production design class at Red Engine Studios

Were were supposed to take 1 cube, 1 sphere and 1 pyramid and put them in a environment and render them out with textures and break up the shapes.  It was a very fun assignment and really helped learn the silhouette technique of painting.

Red Engine Advanced Environment Design week 1 Home Work

Here is my week 1 homework for Jung Parks Advanced Env. Design class.  I spent most of the week working on this drawing which cut into the time I needed to spend working on my other classes home works.  I need to manage my time better now that I have a lot on my plate with the three classes I am taking.

It was very fun working in only pencil, I haven't drawn like this for a long time.  I kept wanting to ctrl. Z for undo but didn't have that option with the traditional medium.  I definitely caught a lot of details that I would have missed if just doing this in Photoshop and feel like after this pencil drawing, my digital paintings will get much better.

Environment Design with Jung Park week 4-5 Homework

Here is my interior render for week 4-5.  I had a lot of work to do on it and finally finished it.  I think I was too stiff with this image.  Oh well time to move on to new projects.  The story is supposed to be some kind of religious secrete society, kind of like the Da Vinci Code.

Red Engine Environment Design week 7 homework

Here is my last assignment for the environment design class I took at Red Engine.  The assignment was to do a action painting so I chose to do a desert war painting.  I had a lot of fun with this painting and with the class.  If you are looking to learn about environment design or want to become a better illustrator, you should definitely check out Red Engine for classes.  You will learn a lot and have a lot of fun doing it.
