Fine Art Photography of a World War I Dogfight
I created these fantasy matte paintings with 100% photographic stock.
I first sketched the scene that I wanted to create on paper. From this sketch I created concept art to help me with the element selection. Then I started to look around for the elements to use in the matte painting. Whenever I found something I felt was a potential fit I would photograph it or search for a photo in my (constantly expanding) photography library. Sometimes it would take weeks before I managed to collect all the required elements. Once I had all the elements together it could take another 160+ hours to put it all together. I used Photoshop and also have a Wacom Cintiq which makes the concept art much easier. (Yes I know I could create some elements in software like Maya, Cinema4D, DAZ etc but I wanted to make sure it is all photographic content)

Hi everyone, I am new to this community, but not new to the love for and collection of BJD's.
I am about to embark on a journey of making my very first BJD, in a bit of a fashion style. I'll be using polymer clay and will blog the whole process.
Right now I am in the process of designing her and all her parts. I will keep you posted ;)

Hi All,
Maybe it would be great if we can mention some topics we can discuss in future hangouts or create a childrens book illustrator weekly tag or something.
What do you think?

Hi,
I have created 3 categories for posts to help illustrators & writers / editors / publishers:
1) Illustrator Portfolios : Please use this to tag your posts as a personal portfolio album / post. Will be a good idea if you could create an album as a portfolio and always add new work into that album. Then the category will be clean of potential spam activity and your latest work will be seen. Some good tags to use for the album would be #childrensbooks #illustrator #popupbooks
2) Illustrators Wanted : Please use this to tag posts / links etc of any need for illustrators.
3) Publishers / Editors / Writer : If you are a publisher / editor / writer and you would like to talk about your projects or general publishing topics please use this tag.
Please let me know what you all think and we can refine the cate... more »

I am sharing my current work also to test the album sharing feature for communities.
I have finished my latest #childrensbooks but we received a poor sample print and forced to find a new printer at the last minute.
It is a 42 page picture book with hard cover. We are in Australia but any good references for printers will be appreciated. :)

Hi,
I am a member of the SCBWI ( Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators) and thought this could be a good opportunity to get illustrators and Children's book illustrators together.

Introducing Horatio Peppermint and the Springer Wrinkle-Free Wringer
A 40 page children's picture book that took me months to illustrate :)
This is the front cover for my new children's book currently being printed. Yes, it took longer than we planned to setup everything but now we are ready to focus on the last few weeks
Our iPad app should be available sometime in October and the hardcover in November. I am sooooo excited. A lifelong dream coming true :) I illustrated all 40 pages :)
Thank you to all the encouragement from all my friends here at G+ and +Kelli Seeger Kim I haven't forgotten your request ;-)

Trey's Variety Hour #49... with your co-hosts +Karen Hutton & +Gino Barasa!
When: Tomorrow, August 20, 7pm PT / 10pm ET (Your World Time: http://goo.gl/i2JH0)
Where: on +Trey Ratcliff's stream... or right here on mine
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I love this photo of Trey from the San Francisco Ferry Building last May... he looks like Jules Verne next to his latest time machine, contemplating his next invention to astonish the world!
And it fits right in with our theme tomorrow night: "Art and Inspiration"!
But it won't be your same old conversation; joining us will be some photographers and artist who draw from MANY sources for their inspiration. What are they... and where does "It" comes from? How important is having a strong Point of View anyway? And why... more »

Teaser: 1 of the characters I designed and illustrated for my new children's book "Horatio Peppermint" to be launched on 8 September 2012
Harriet is one of several characters that get tangled up in a time machine.... and why I have been unable to create any new digital matte paintings the last few months :)
It is a 42 page children's picture book. I am in the final weeks before getting the proof printed. Can't wait!! :)

Having some fun. A friend and I went to the Sydney University to photograph the architecture and I created this as a thank you gift. Just for fun.
PS. I have made a few new concept drawings to be used as a foundation for my next fantasy landscape matte paintings. Will start sharing them soon. :)

Human impact on Earth – yes, you did this! (and me)
This is very interesting. Worth taking 3 minutes to watch this movie.
EVER wondered what the planet would look like if you could see everything we did at once?
Now you can.
Often when looking at the Earth in pictures taken from space the planet looks like an untouched green and blue gem, but this is deceptive.
A new video called #anthropocene anthropocene shows just how much impact we have on the planet through a series of stunning visual overlays of human activity data.

My take on Pearl Harbor attack
Please share it if you like it :-)
I created this matte painting with 100% photographic elements using a Canon DSLR and Photoshop
When I started to learn how to do fantasy matte paintings I needed something to test my skills on. I was heavily inspired by the movie "Pearl Harbor" for the concept and used it to develop my technical skills. The elements in this image include die-cast model airplanes and Royal Australian Navy ships photographed in Sydney.
This is a quick overview: I first sketched the scene that I wanted to create on paper. From this sketch I created concept art to help me with the element selection. Then I started to look around for the elements to use in the matte painting.

NOT A PHOTOSHOP IMAGE. PHOTO
On 8 June 2007 the Pasha Bulker ran aground (not shipwrecked) during a storm on Nobbys Beach in Newcastle, NSW - New South Wales, Australia. When we went there to have a look we saw this dynamic rainbow scene - along with 1000's of other 'spectators' - I managed to take this photo. As you can see, a new storm was brewing in the background with 2 striking rainbows while the sun was still shining onto the beach.
