Going on with my theme of ww2 era stuff. Here's a ship for a change. At the same time I was practicing my techniques of making finished looking stuff in no time..]]> Wed, 17 Dec 2008 15:05:30 +0000 http://ranath.cgsociety.org/gallery/710343

More dark nasty dangerous dramatic stuff with fire and smoke and tanks. And motion blur.

Sometimes you're asked to do this kind of work, examples of what say, a shot from the final film might look like, so I was practicing how to do that effectively]]> Mon, 22 Dec 2008 03:16:57 +0000 http://ranath.cgsociety.org/gallery/709156

practicing concept art skills, trying to get some of my matte workflow into it.]]> Thu, 18 Dec 2008 08:54:43 +0000 http://ranath.cgsociety.org/gallery/708883

Another matte painting, I really like the look of city lights during night, and wanted to do something with it. The construction area is kinda based on something you can see in the city where I live..

and this is like 3rd time uploading this... sorry, I fail]]> Wed, 17 Dec 2008 15:03:41 +0000 http://ranath.cgsociety.org/gallery/708627

an attempt to do a dogfighting image with ww2 style planes. the details are probably a bit off and everything, and the composition is wrong. such is life..]]> Wed, 17 Dec 2008 05:00:44 +0000 http://ranath.cgsociety.org/gallery/708618

I tried to do an invisible matte painting, something that you wouldn't think is an effect. Basically as realistic as possible.. but I also tried to work fast and make it kinda interesting.]]> Wed, 17 Dec 2008 04:45:12 +0000 http://ranath.cgsociety.org/gallery/650514

No updates for long time.. so here we go, this is something I did for fun maybe a month ago. Iä! Iä! Cthulhu fhtagn!]]> Mon, 07 Jul 2008 03:31:59 +0000 http://ranath.cgsociety.org/gallery/608123

A couple of hours in Photoshop. Missing the old Star Wars Racer game. It was gold. I bet I can still beat your record on Boonta Eve Classic!]]> Thu, 13 Mar 2008 18:50:08 +0000 http://ranath.cgsociety.org/gallery/565351

Another painting for Strange Behavior contest. Opening shot.. not entirely happy with it but posting it anyways. Photoshop and some Lightwave for geometry.]]> Sun, 25 Nov 2007 13:24:03 +0000 http://ranath.cgsociety.org/gallery/528688

A simple matte painting I did for the d'Artiste book. Not sure if it gets in

Inspiration from Lord of the Rings again, the beacons scene (without beacons though, the mountains were the thing for me). I tried to break my habit of just backlighting everything and avoiding directional light. So this was about stepping out from my comfort zone - the best way to learn and to embarrass myself ]]> Mon, 13 Aug 2007 20:55:33 +0000 http://ranath.cgsociety.org/gallery/659695

I was looking through my old stuff and found this. I originally thought this was not punchy enough and did more contrasty version of it, showing the same scene in the evening. Of course now I think this one is the better one.. so I guess this is back.]]> Sat, 02 Aug 2008 09:41:14 +0000 http://ranath.cgsociety.org/gallery/565184

Another matte/semi-matte for Strange Behavior short film. The very top part is based on a painting by Levi Péterfi who did the establishing shot to this environment. You can see his gallery here: http://samsonsreaper.cgsociety.org/gallery/

Matte concept to be used in a film by Dewmay Productions. A prison tower in this nasty looking valley.]]> Fri, 16 Nov 2007 21:25:19 +0000 http://ranath.cgsociety.org/gallery/562431

Another piece for Strange Behaviour. This is a shot from the bottom of the valley where our hero ends up into. Matte and the concept. This was done in a day because of pretty tight schedule.]]> Fri, 16 Nov 2007 21:22:32 +0000 http://ranath.cgsociety.org/gallery/605428

Just a small sketch, done of course in the middle of the night..]]> Fri, 07 Mar 2008 18:10:06 +0000 http://ranath.cgsociety.org/gallery/560329

Yup, this is what middle ages were like. Dark and unpleasant. All the stuff you see in movies is nonesense.. back then people lived only to die.

This is an old sketch I found, done for school. I actually like the composition and mood.]]> Sun, 11 Nov 2007 21:46:41 +0000 http://ranath.cgsociety.org/gallery/427584

This is quite a recent sketch, I consider it fairly succesful. It depicts a group of people making their way through epic highlands. Why they're there and where they're going I left up to the viewer to decide - you know I'm just an artist and I'm not supposed to know anything about what I'm doing
