Work in progress.Modeled and Rendered in Maya,in different layers and passes.Special effects and Fluid effects created in Maya.Depth of field added later in photoshop.
The Concept:I tried to give a metaphysical mood,and not a realistic illustration of how that day could be.The elements in the scene have a metaphorical meaning .The human kingdoms are falling as the Angels of Revelation come to bring justice.One of them is holding in one hand a trumpet ,and at the other the book with the seven seals.He is bringing the annunciation of the last days .A flag of a king and a queen is falling down.Another angel holding a weapon which cut from both sides ,brings justice.Natural phenomena occure with the angels' arrival.The tallest kingdom at the background has six flags on six edges .]]> Mon, 05 Nov 2007 00:58:19 +0000 http://sdimis.cgsociety.org/gallery/557659

WORK IN PROGRESS :For couple of weeks now,I left on the side my 3d application programms ,and I tried to advance my skills in 2d illustration.Not that I am trying to become a 2d artist,just being inspired by great 2d illustrators in this forum,I started to play with Photoshop.This is my last attempt. Tried to push the envelope,making a complete theme without a tablet.Was a great challenge by the absence of a tablet , especially at the creation of the accessories and costume.


FINAL UPDATE :After one more day work,finaly I finished the amazon theme.I updated the cloth with a small movement,because the whole concept was very static.Fixed a little more the hair lines ,and made the background a little more detailing.Finally I put small scars on her body.


Made in Photoshop.References from photograph.Total work in almost 3 days.C&C more than welcome!

"Ancient Greek warrior"
First time posting in this section.I would like to hear comments and point out mistakes of the still image(I am sure they are alot).I Used Maya 6 and Photoshop just for touching up the collors a little.The reason the whole theme is being placed in a white background is because I want to use it as a prop in one of my web-pages.
Thank you,any advice would be appreciated
