Portrait commission of a fictional character highly inspired of someone who actually exists who commissioned the artwork. ]]> Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:00:48 +0000 http://smirtouille.cgsociety.org/gallery/823074

Hey this one is finally finished! I had started this ... in August I think. Was not finding the energy to finish it but now he is. A m-m-monster.
No actually he's a fellow, charming guy. He's military general for the infernal legions, under the orders of another charming guy. Some of them have pretty casual appearance and some are quite monstruous, or hybrid human creatures, they're funny people.

He can speak -I swear-
He smiles all the time. But he can't do anything about that. He flies. He walks on the blades of his feet (they penetrate in the ground when the earth is wet, it's not cool. Sand is not cool either)
Under this winged-coat he got a very (male) human body with some clothes and stuff.
And don't make fun of his hair.]]> Fri, 06 Nov 2009 03:47:19 +0000 http://smirtouille.cgsociety.org/gallery/797235

This scene happens virtually a couple of weeks before the agent woman actually kills this guy.
In fact she's not the one who will shoot. It's just a dream, that would have been too pretty. Also she's not a killer. She's an agent. She only planed his assassination.

In the way of her mission she teached this bad guy something he never lived before, or lived too far away. When he started to think she was a dangereous ennemy, he has already accepted his defeat. He wont do anything to stop her and let her bring his own death.
It is during this dream that he faces all his thoughts and when he decides to accept his fate.
The end was nicer in the dream than in real, for sure.

Secret Agent Challenge.

Hi CG artists.
I want to say first that this is the first time I'm taking part to a CGchallenge and I really enjoy it. It made me learn some things already that helped me to complete this artwork.
It's a personnal work I finished to take a break from the secret agent piece.
I've been stucked on it for a while, it was cool but has no depth, and no great interest for me. I started to change the composition, I had to enlarge the frame and that was gonna take me a loooot of sup work so I abandoned, 'cause I had spent on it very too much time.
It's finally finished then! I completed the piece within 3 hours, quicker than expected and it was not so difficult, I guess I progressed.
I'm trying to push my limits in doing this. It has no other purpose.

Hi.
Here is the enlarged version of the painting "greyly day" I did before. I decided to open the canvas to get a more efficient idea of what the background is.
The old version is now just a close-up. I fixed a couple of things that I felt were not good enough. I prefer this version now, I hope you guys like it too.

I deleted the old version of my portfolio but the close-up I'm giving you here are pretty much similar.

...
Eeeem. The last piece I finished that was not expected. Just felt like painting shiny stuff, then added a background, wich was a little bit interesting.
Nothing new, though.

See you later.]]> Sun, 01 Nov 2009 04:23:56 +0000 http://smirtouille.cgsociety.org/gallery/811479

Ooh boy...
This piece tried to kill me. I spent arround 30 hours on it, re-doing it and fighting with the composition and details, for a month, finished it a thousand times and depressed because it was looking like sh*t and uh.
Last day of work I made a strike, it's done. And I'm finaly happy with it.
This piece has a full story behind, it started from a dream and became something else.


EDIT:
There is a cute little story about this painting. I dreamed that: suddenly any life on earth has to return to ashes, life itself was doing this and it was done within 24 hours. So everything started to decay alife, vegetal first, then baby animals, then young creatures... It started at night, so the strong adults, the last to die alife, were able to see what was happening at the light of a bright summer day.
I can tell the smell was creazy.

But the piece got another version of the story. This other version of the story has a whole different meaning and is more classic, because there is a point form wich this thing spreads, it's not just life renouncing its miracle, it's something evil. And that was funnier to paint of course. And in that story evil is the last on earth, or maybe they're just an evolution. Everything else disappeared.
It's father and daughter, you can tell she's already more evolved than her father. Imagine these two guys starting their new life, is that cute or what.

Hello
A lady wanted me to do an epic war scene with Star Wars Clone Troopers. So I did, that was my first try with that kind of scene painting and that was very fun to do.
This was done a while ago this last summer, before I did my painting with the horsemen and stuff. So for the time I was happy with it.
But I'm still planning to make more paintings of that kind.

Comments are welcome.]]> Thu, 15 Oct 2009 01:38:10 +0000 http://smirtouille.cgsociety.org/gallery/805764

Hey there.
Long time since my last finished stuff. I promised I'd work. I partially did. Though I could do more (and I have more coming) I missed courage at some point.
But it's good to share something really finished again, so here is this hell, this thing is wide. (too wide, I won't do that again)
I wanted to see how far I could go in size and details but. Well, I saw. I think that was not very useful, at some point I thought about make it smaller to finish, but I kept the big size.
I guess I learnt something.

Happy that one is done. That was a work on details, objects and clothes.

See you later.]]> Fri, 11 Sep 2009 02:32:55 +0000 http://smirtouille.cgsociety.org/gallery/792395

Hey
That is a present for my best friend. It's just a character of mine who's named Crow.
I played with the colors again and the shininess of the clothes. Next time I'll work on textile details, I need that. : )
See you next time.
(soon)

A little vector painting for funnn.
I like to draw in Illustrator. I usually start from ink sketches and I do whatever I want with that after, adding colors, blur, changing expression or face, adding details...

This one was an old stuff, did it last year when depressed (I was doing only black and white and vector, any color was like exasperating me, that was frighting). But I'm super motivated again and producing something every day instead of resting from the screen so I felt like re-doing this.
Blablabla.
I basically improvised the whole face again and I'm happy with it, so I share.

Hi there again.
I'm working on several stuff by now, nothing is officialy to show but it will come up in the next months, I hope. I've been working much on scene, more complexe images, also on different faces and types of persons. Some stuff I was lazzy to do before. And I just may say I enjoy to do that. It's difficult and easy at the same time, it's everything but not boring and that's soo cool.
But this piece is not of that kind.

Here is a birthday present for a french friend of mine.
This character was cool and fun to do, nothing difficult but I took the time to play with colors and I'm quite happy with the outcome. I think my friend is gonna like that one.
It's like a resting piece. Before I'll come with some more.

He's nice and sweet, hope you'll enjoy to rest with him. uh.

Hi CG,
I've been doing some stuff but this is the last thing I properly finished. It's a personal piece, wanted to make my cat the way I see it and mixing two styles I like: A bit of fantastic anime style within the background, proportion and posing that are inspired from chinese dragons. The colors and reallistic details are inspired from romanticism european painting style.
Strange mix by now, I think I can train more on expressing this and get a better mix.

The pic is 10000x7200 px large at 300dpi, the fur is done all with a brush of 7 to 20px, I used several photo references to make the details right, it took me about 10 hours to accomplish.

Comments are welcome.

I made a different version of it that figures a child and is a little bit provocative. You can see it here: http://smirtouille.deviantart.com/art/With-the-kid-version-129778322

Here is a close up. Enjoy.

Early 2009 painting where I tried some other technique and was playing with bluriness.
It's one of the only portrait I did with the character smiling. Something they smile during the process, then change of expression and finish with the same no-smile expression I do all the time...]]> Sat, 05 Sep 2009 03:50:44 +0000 http://smirtouille.cgsociety.org/gallery/776164

That was a dream. I painted these two characters immediately after I woke up it took me a couple hours to paint the blond, one hour for the doghead guy (it was much quicker 'cause I was more awake.)
This is practice. I fixed I had to make them exactly from my dream and I didn't used reference for. I had to make my vision cleaner and cleaner and try some different brush work.
I enjoyed, I learnt from them.
That was a good time, I hope you'll like them too. ]]> Thu, 18 Jun 2009 02:17:13 +0000 http://smirtouille.cgsociety.org/gallery/772463

First piece: He looks very plastic.
I feel fake stuff distressing. He's looking for glory, poor guy and he's loosing the truth inside of him.

Second piece: Next level for the Glory. Loosing humanity and modesty. He is turning very dangerous and the bright red expresses his aggressiveness.

Training personnal work.]]> Mon, 08 Jun 2009 18:44:09 +0000 http://smirtouille.cgsociety.org/gallery/766488

Peaceful brushes strokes and atmosphere for the violence and the murder to come. Both characters in acceptance of their bloody fate. This is a personal piece. It has been build and thought and rethought during a couple of weeks.]]> Fri, 22 May 2009 04:21:18 +0000 http://smirtouille.cgsociety.org/gallery/753883

Hi there,
This is kind of a speedpainting, just to train and try styles and colours. I was catching some atmosphere from inside my mind, motion, body and cyborg black suit. Maybe it turns darker than the first idea of it.
It has been a usefull experiment.
Done with Photoshop about a few hours. No picture reference.

Hope you'll enjoy.

The first sketches about it were the design of an angel of steel, with a black and terrible "no-face". It became a complete Evil.
I think he changed of team, haha.
Enjoy.
