Have a few pieces in the works, but i discovered the ease and use of the custom shapes tool and I couldn't put it down.  I highly recommend integrating custom shapes into your work flow. Did this piece in under an hour! Enjoy and take care

Currently concepting an environment for a personal project. After sketching ideas in my sketchbook, these were the best thumbnails that will be used for production paintings. Did these thumbnails after seeing Robh Ruppel's process work. Robh produces great work, and he uses basic geometric shapes to create dynamic thumbnails. As Robh says, "if it reads well as flat, poster shapes, then the final render with details will be even better." Also looked at a good deal of work from the Hudson River School. Epic landscapes is what they created, and they are magnificent. Look at Frederic Church, Savrasov, or Bierstadt for some inspiring images.

Did this after watching a Sparth demo in New Orleans. He was quite inspiring nonetheless

Good times with Rednecks!!!
rednecks are some of the most ingenious people... although they lack funds, they can get anything to work. Imagine if a redneck got ahold of sci fi equipment though. I did, and here are the results.
A beaver dam busting flamethrower, rigged from a can of WD-40 and a bicycle handle bar and brake, the brake is the trigger
A 20 round capacity pump action shotgun, complete with night vision optics
An airboat without class. Lay - Z - Boy captains chair, BBQ at the helm, and a collapsible toilet at the bow.
Enjoy and take care

Note: these are still WIP as far as rendering goes

What a joy it was to see the last adjustments made to this piece. This is by far the most I have concepted for an environment piece, and the most rewarding to conclude. I had to ask and answer, "who are these people, why are they isolated from the greater population, what type of technology do they employ in their daily affairs, are they peaceful or aggressive, do giant lizards live with them (yes!), what do they value, what are their religious beliefs, are they vegetarian (thank you Mr. Buffington) and on and on.. and to me, that research, where you get to delve into everything from National Geographic to Frank Lloyd Wright to John Carter of Mars (and thus, Ryan Church, that concept art book is beautiful), thats where the gravy is. Enjoy the piece. Take care.
