Put together this shot inspired by the forerunner structures in Halo 4. Shot the original plate out in the Californian desert near Red Rock. Painted in Photoshop and animated with After Effects.

 

Red Rock Photography

Spent some time in Red Rock with a camera. Super cool rock formations everywhere!

UDK Game Environment

Playing around in UDK. Super fun so far!

The Navigator

Been doing loads of 3D lately so took some time today to play around with 2D for a change. I was thinking this guy is some kind of space explorer and he's taking geological readings of a strange moon-like object hovering close to the planet's surface.

Lightning Spike Concept

Sketch for a school game project. The city is powered by a giant spike that draws it's energy from a black hole.

Dragon Hunter Comic

A little comic page from Character Design homework last term. Was super fun!

Maya and Storyboarding Finals

Here's my Intro to Maya final! It's a study of the badass concept art by Ben Procter for Avatar. And also two still frames from my storyboarding animatic final from the previous post.

Photoshop Final

Just finished Term 1 and this was my Photoshop final - hooray!

Texturing Final!

Submitted this as my texturing final! Models were supplied and we had to fix//unwrap/arrange/light etc

Fantasy Cover Illustrations

Recently wrapped up a series of covers for a fantasy series! Was super fun! Also, we're already wrapping up the first term at school so I've started a new blog just for Gnomon homework and dumped a bunch of recent stuff in it - tobygnomnoms.blogspot.com

Needs More Spikes!

Here's the beginning of my effort to get a shiny matte painting portfolio put together. This is just a layout idea and I'll be adding textures, modeling in maya and projecting in nuke :D

Halo 4 Fan Art

Following along the fan art route...I'm such a massive Halo nerd. This was inspired by the recent animated concept art trailer for Halo 4 and the amazing work of Sparth.

Diablo 3 Fan Art

I'm a massive fan of the whole heaven vs hell concept which is prevalent in Diablo. So this is a Diablo 3, cinematic-inspired fan art-esque WIP thing! :D

*Update* This image placed 3rd in the Blizzcon 2011 fan art contest - Hooray! Here's the final version 

Matte Action

Practicing some matte painting using old paintings as bases. Speeds things up heaps! Bottom image is the shot before, top image is after.
