Hello everyone,

These are images from the short Encompass which I worked on. The environments were matte paintings which were done by using digital painting, photos and geometry. The city was done using maya which I modeled and textured for the shot. Each painting was painted at 2k wide. Thanks everyone for taking a look!


Can we see this short? :thumbsup:

[ku2jat]

Wow… how it is too beautiful. you really tears in mattepainting, especially in your natural BG.
I have anything has to say, have to spend you really there time.

Great atmosphere !

[HamsterFly]

Great stuff man ! :thumbsup:

[MikkoK]

Inspirational work!

Great mood in all of them. Maybe in the city scape there could be a tad more fill light from the sky to make some building forms more readable.

Anyways, great stuff, keep it up man!

[MatteoM]

fantastik... I love the last image, for me it's the best... ;)


bye bye
Matteo

[andyburm]

amazing work Jon.....really nice !

(since you are always so modest in class, I thought I'd give you some praise here)

:)

[wilgory]

Wow, these are extremely well done! Congrats. I really think the lighting, atmosphere and wide focus range of these images make them spectacular. If you don't mind me asking, how long do these painting take you to complete after the initial sketch?

Great job!

[livake]

I like the atmosphere ... nice dude!

[allenweis]

[LAZIKAT]

WOW, crespi posted up in here? thats awesome! funny!....

[SquarePixel]

Thanks so much everyone, I really apreciate all your positive feedback!

MikkoK- I agree with your suggestion man, adding some fill light would definetly help read the form better in the buildings, Thanks man for your critque. I really respect your work man!!

andyburm- Thanks man for stopping by and for compilment, I appreciate it!

SCRktkt- hey adam, it means alot to me of dropping by and giving that compilment.

Leon.S.Ken- Thank you:)

HamsterFly- GEEZ, thank you, I love your work man!

wilgory- HAHA! Thanks! I don't mind answering. from initial sketch each of the natural environments took me anywhere 25-30hrs and the cityscape took me about six- seven days because of the intensive modeling and texturing. Thanks man!!!

_MatteoM_- thank you, I've always enjoyed cave and glacier scenes, I've always wanted to do mattepainting of it, the ice was a pain to get right in certain places. Thanks again man!
