Here is the first matte painting for a film I'm currently working on. The film is Lewis Carroll's "The Hunting of the Snark" directed by Michael McNeff. This painting is of Snark Island. More posts to come as soon as the work is finished. Hope you enjoy.

Piece in progress. 8 hrs so far. Much more reference to be sought.

First post in like forever. Life can be funny at times and has been lately. You just have to take it what its for and hope for the best. Should be posting more work soon though. Recently had an art test for Sony Online, so we'll see whether or not I'll be moving once again, this time....to Austin. Hopefully everything will play out right and I'll find out soon enough. Needless to say, I'll be posting more work soon. This painting is just a quick piece for...fun...I guess. Don't really know. Color, maybe? Hmmm.... I think I've stumped myself on this one. Ah well, hope you enjoy.

Before I started this painting I thought it would be cool if I saved an image every few minutes as I worked to show how I go about quick concept paintings. This painting is roughly 4-5 hours of work. Hope you enjoy.

First concept to my story. Its just an environment setting in the underworld. Although there are no people in the scene, and nor will there be, it seems a bit busy. I'll have to correct that in the final.

Here's a quicker 6 hour matte study. I did this one kinda quick simply because its a lower resolution than some of the others I've done. And who says that living under a rock is such a bad thing anyway? I hope this painting doesn't look like one of those cheesy photo-manipulated images floating a million times over on the internet. Well, back to that place I crawled out from under. Cheers!

Wow, now that I've read it, that is one badly constructed paragraph above. So bad that I'm going to have to leave it to remind myself how silly it is that I sound sometimes. I guess that's what happens when you have a million things going inside your head. Good thing for proofreading.

A quick sketch that's going nowhere. I'll have to revisit it after I get away from it for a while. Maybe something will come about, maybe not. It does have sheep in it for crying out loud, so something must come of it.
