Please note that the budget on this job was extremely tight which reflected on the deadlines. I only had one working day to complete this so it isn't exactly as developed as I'd like. That said, if you have comments that could improve my technique they are most welcome.

This was an environment matte recently completed for the SABC's (South Africa's public broadcaster) advertised coverage of the Euro 2008 tournament. This valley is used in a 10 second promo advertising the final faceoff between the last two remaining countries, represented by giants/colossi running in the landscape. I didn't do final comp or animation but will post that once its complete.]]> Mon, 19 May 2008 09:33:06 +0000 http://apeman.cgsociety.org/gallery/634725

An abstract painting I did with the rough idea centering around a dark forest. It shouldn't be too apparent unless you know that latter detail.. I just wanted to suggest the forest and not depict it in a literal fashion.]]> Fri, 23 May 2008 13:28:37 +0000 http://apeman.cgsociety.org/gallery/633962

A matte completed, but never used, for a Saudi Air commercial while I was working at Blackginger in Cape Town, South Africa. The rider at the bottom left was the only live footage that was going to be used in this shot, all the rest was matte based.

Shortlisted for the next d'artiste mattepainting book, but I have yet to hear back whether it actually made it in or not.]]> Wed, 21 May 2008 09:50:27 +0000 http://apeman.cgsociety.org/gallery/494408

An older piece done for an ad that never materialized (a pity since the concept was quite fun) due t a lack of budget and imagination on the part of the client.]]> Wed, 09 May 2007 10:21:24 +0000 http://apeman.cgsociety.org/gallery/183748

Done as part of my 'Head's project for college. Since the easter islands heads are relatively simplistic in design i tried to compensate with intricate textures and a complex surrounding scene.

(update): This is version 1, a cleaner warmer and more refined version is in my portfolio]]> Wed, 03 Nov 2004 17:26:59 +0000
