Skull Lady

I know I've been away From here for about two years, I have been busy being a full time photographer. It was a great experience and I'm glad I had the opportunity to meet so many awesome people and use some of my creativity, something many crave in their jobs. BUT, I hit the metaphorical ceiling after becoming supervisor and decided my time there should come to an end.

I'm SO happy I've left! I was using about 1/127,837,164th of my potential there and NEED to do something which is even more awesome.

Here is something I did today. I decided I want to work with a spot of Matte Painting and Compositing as well as BLAPS the dust off my Wacom tablet and practice some of my drawing skills. Matte Painting wasn't something I ever had interest in before to be honest, but woooah I mean some Matte Painters out there are woooah. I like new things.

I wanted to do something that practiced compositing, drawing, matte painting and lighting. This piece incorporated all of those things.

Inspiration was taken from ImagineFX magazine, the background was based on a piece by Philip Straub. Google him, he's amazing!
