This is part one of three series of layout where I will be taking you through a perilous journey into the depth of the dragon in search of a forgotten treasure.
The image was painted in Photoshop CS2. The idea behind it was to make it into a game level for players to venture into. Open C&C and hope you guys like it.

Being an animation student, I am always drawing and drawing. To snap out of my normal habit, I decided to paint a picture of a location I really want to go. I've always been interested in going to a jungle...instead of going in reality....I painted it instead haha.

This painting was for fun, but it was also a personal test to see if I can paint a setting with atmosphere. It was drawn with pencil then coloured with Photoshop CS2. Aprox 30 hours.

Critiques are always welcome!]]> Fri, 24 Nov 2006 21:43:47 +0000 http://ginseng.cgsociety.org/gallery/608537

As a fan of Dan Brown's novel I've always been intrigued by the creation and usage of Anti-Matter. Here I designed a tech soldier that is capable of wielding a great Anti-Matter projector to cause havoc upon his foes.]]> Fri, 14 Mar 2008 17:28:40 +0000 http://ginseng.cgsociety.org/gallery/608539

Back in Sheridan we study the human skeleton and muscle quite often. I've always imagined the pelvis would be a mask that some creature can use as a helmet. The creature is also using the femur and skull as a weapon.]]> Fri, 14 Mar 2008 17:33:46 +0000 http://ginseng.cgsociety.org/gallery/608535

A concept design for a race of tech soldier. This one is spec as a scout with the design of a spider kept in mind. ]]> Fri, 14 Mar 2008 17:25:10 +0000 http://ginseng.cgsociety.org/gallery/608538

Various designs that I did for the Anti-Matter projector. The idea is for the anti-matter to be suspended in a vacuum tight container by magnetic force. Thus a great deal of energy will be needed to fuel this projector. The front magnetic coil contracts and launches the magnetic cartridge outward.]]> Fri, 14 Mar 2008 17:31:14 +0000 http://ginseng.cgsociety.org/gallery/608540

The idea of this painting came from a sketch that I did at a farm animal exhibition in Toronto. (It was called the Royal Winter Fair)

The sketch was of a sheep in a blanket cover. The exhibition area was cold so the farmers had to blanket the sheeps after their fur has been shaved off. The sheeps looked like a warhorse when wearing those covers. That is where I got the idea to do a painting of knights sitting on these sheeps.

The image was done in Photoshop CS2. Aprox. 25 hours. Do you guys see anything I should work on? Please feel open to critique. Thanks in advance!]]> Mon, 26 Mar 2007 05:17:45 +0000 http://ginseng.cgsociety.org/gallery/436714

This picture is a still shot from an animation project I have to complete for Sheridan's 3rd year animation class.

The project involes animating a character and special effect ontop of a rendered background. My character animation is this little girl jumping into the puddle of water. The splashes and ripples from the water are my special effect animations.

This background was outlined in pen and coloured in Photoshop CS2.]]> Sun, 03 Dec 2006 04:45:46 +0000
