Mr. Kilmister

Been a while !  Always so busy, workin' over at Eidos now for one, but here's an update.  Painted this a while ago but never finished it. Came back to it now, fixed-up a few things some, added them cheesy sparks and voila!

Achtung... you cunts

GANGSTAR IV

Gangstar IV is finally out !  It seems to be getting good reviews so that's a bit of a relief, I worked on this for so long.  I look back at some of these pieces and they feel distant now.  Anyway, I can finally share some pics, here's an environment I enjoyed :

A few of the interior shots exploring variations for game-play/views etc.

 And here's one of the trailers :

Isle of Mann TT

So it's the end of Isle of Mann TT this week (25th to 7th, the Classic'll be in late August).  I didn't make it across of course, but I will soon.  With any luck me & the brother'll make the roll-call for one of the Classics & go do a once 'round for shits & giggles as amateurs.  Wouldn't wanna go about it 300clicks+ of course, but this is something I should get done.

This reminds me I need to get back into dirt-bickin' again...


Figured I'ld share an older piece for this occasion.  Not the best, but appropriate at least.

Saïgon Kev

An old college budy and colleague from when I was workin' in Vietnam has recently landed a new job with a somewhat ostentatious title.  While chattin' I mentioned how he was gona need a kepi or some form of official headgear now, and later I figured a painting would be good for a laugh so this caricature of him took form.  I didn't want to ask him for any photos and ruin the surprise so I sorta had to work from the few pics I had, "close enough".

On a sadder note, a friend of mine bought the farm today, been in a coma since Friday night.  Known her about 10 years, she was a couple years younger 'n me as well.  Nothin' much to share really, maybe just a song.  So long Stef.

Lunch time studies

A couple of lunch-hour light-studies featuring local performer Iza from Ethereal Tribal (photographer Hubert Larose).

-Release the Hostages-

A bit of acrylic & pencils in the ol' sketchbook to pretend I can still paint "real" art.  Musta been about an hour or less with the white-wash.  From photo.

And here's one for free :

It's Miller Time

There's snow and slush and horror outside and all I can think of is flyin' over to Portsmouth n' ridin' down to Croatia from there...  That being said, here's something I did in 2011 for Modern Combat 3 :
 

Oro of the Lake

Mostly studies and pieces I haven't pushed to a finish recently. Ah well, but here's something with enough work on it to show. More or less a fanciful portrait of local model Oro. Check her out, she's great to work with (the mrs. has done a couple of shoots with her already) : http://www.facebook.com/ORO.malefico.

About half the water ripples are overlays of a few photos, not super happy with that but it was worth a try see.

*hmm. It appears this is showing very very dark on the internet as opposed to photoshop. Again.  This damned problem is haunting me...
