The Fallen by John Kearney

Hey all, I finally got around to finishing off this painting - it took far too long and I'm glad it's out of the way :D Anyhow, it was painted entirely in photoshop using fairly standard brushes and the original image is 5000 pixels high.

Nemesis by Per Haagensen

An in-between-projects painting I did earlier this year. This started out as just a concept design for the beast, but I ended up taking it abit further to a more illustrative level.

Battleogre by Ville-Valtteri Kinnunen

A character concept/rendering practice I did today. His very unpractical armour design is offset by the two weapons and the shield he's carrying. Or something.

Mountain Patrol by Michal Suchánek

The two longtime companions patrol the border of Windy Mountains. They are looking out of their enemy, but nobody has shown up for a very long time.

Wired prisoners by Pascal Raimbault

This is a prison where creatures get their head cut off. They are then plugged into a mecha kind of parasite to keep them alive.I was thinking their body could be recycled to create a huge organic thing.I tried to create a wet atmosphere and show a spider web like prison.I used mudbox to create the creature head model.

Vranaxxas by Gregory Strangis

My big inspiration was from films like Predator and Aliens as well as Creature from the Black lagoon and the Predalien design done by Jordu Schell. I used Zbrush for my rough in and retopo and did the textures all in Zbrush and rendering was done with MR in Maya. My goal was to render it to look like a sculpture or maquette made out of resin.
