This was an attempt to integrate a character concept into a matte background. I began with a photo of the local countryside and extended it and added craters. Oh! and a robot... It was fun to work with the winter palette. ]]> Thu, 04 Oct 2007 20:35:17 +0000 http://richdraws.cgsociety.org/gallery/545876

This is a matte painting for a music video currently in production. I will update the details and include a link when the video is finished.]]> Tue, 02 Oct 2007 15:44:29 +0000 http://richdraws.cgsociety.org/gallery/542751

I wanted to do some characer design on the theme of Warhammer 40k. The intention was to complete it as quickly as possible. I got a bit carried away though and it ended up taking about 5 hours to do.]]> Sat, 22 Sep 2007 17:35:42 +0000 http://richdraws.cgsociety.org/gallery/542496

A couple of character designs for a project that never quite made it. It was done a few years ago whilst I was working for a different company. Good fun creating the characters shame it never went anywhere.]]> Fri, 21 Sep 2007 16:43:41 +0000 http://richdraws.cgsociety.org/gallery/454558

An image I made recently for publicity material for work. I decided I wanted to get more traditional media involved in my images so began the image as a pencil sketch. I had intended to make an ink painting for it but I did not have time unfortunately... maybe next time.]]> Mon, 22 Jan 2007 22:57:45 +0000 http://richdraws.cgsociety.org/gallery/539997

A matte painting done for a feature film still in production. In the final shot a huge stalactite falls from above rupturing the cavern floor. It looked pretty nice...]]> Fri, 14 Sep 2007 15:10:26 +0000 http://richdraws.cgsociety.org/gallery/542387

An Illustration I made for a university course. My intention was to use scanned textures, photo reference, hand sketches and text and bring them together in photoshop successfully. Hopefully it worked.

I am trying to get away from character designs for a while to broaden my skills. I have atttempted to give an atmospheric depth to the scene and merge photographic elements with painted ones. Please let me know what you tink of this image.

Rich

This is an image that began life as a sketch of a beaten up looking guy. I got carried away added Hellboy and a background then finally decided they should be sailing on a coffin.

It was completed entirely in PS without reference (again - I ought to use ref).

Recently updated an altered as I felt it was too dull.]]> Sun, 10 Dec 2006 23:12:15 +0000 http://richdraws.cgsociety.org/gallery/540000

This character design was produced for a soon to be web comic. I dont think the final style will be like this however I find it useful to work my characters up in different styles to make sure they work.]]> Fri, 14 Sep 2007 15:14:42 +0000 http://richdraws.cgsociety.org/gallery/540002

What can I say, it was a private piece done for giggles. It was an experiment in style to see how I could get the cartoony mole working in a nice environment. I made this a few year ago and it makes me want to do another.]]> Fri, 14 Sep 2007 15:21:28 +0000 http://richdraws.cgsociety.org/gallery/539578

Trying to work in a 2D cartoon style for a change. I enjoyed using line in this style. Will be following this up with some similar work soon.]]> Thu, 13 Sep 2007 16:45:17 +0000 http://richdraws.cgsociety.org/gallery/539574

An Illustration I completed for my portfolio.]]> Thu, 13 Sep 2007 16:26:00 +0000 http://richdraws.cgsociety.org/gallery/439498

I designed these characters for use in a music video for artist Jay Sean. Amazing fun to do. The guys at work built and animated it to Jay's music.]]> Sun, 10 Dec 2006 23:31:07 +0000 http://richdraws.cgsociety.org/gallery/449626

There is no real rhyme or reason to this image it is purely another attempt to use reference to create and learn. I wanted to paint a nude, but not in a reclined pose. So I borrowed the style of poses used for maenads and nymphs in classical paintings. ]]> Wed, 10 Jan 2007 15:18:15 +0000 http://richdraws.cgsociety.org/gallery/441214

I wanted to create more images from reference. This is the first in a series I intend to do. It was a reasonably quick piece, approximately 8 hours to complete.]]> Fri, 15 Dec 2006 02:36:19 +0000 http://richdraws.cgsociety.org/gallery/439531

A self portrait that evolved. I cant deny the heavy influence of Phil Hale in this image. I particularly like his palettes. A fun piece that has inspired me to use more reference from now on. ]]> Mon, 11 Dec 2006 01:16:31 +0000 http://richdraws.cgsociety.org/gallery/443159

Christmas card design I finished recently. Took quite awhile and I wished I had gone for a more painterly style. Its more garish than most of my work - but it was fun to paint.]]> Thu, 21 Dec 2006 00:58:11 +0000
