Hey guys!

Here is a painting I just finished. I wanted to do another post apocalyptic style concept but I wanted to add more color that you may not usually see in one of these scenes. The goal was to get the viewer to still see dispare but get a sense that people are still try to brighten their world even in bad conditions. Plus the tarps help collect much needed water.

Hope you enjoy!]]> Sun, 01 Nov 2009 15:39:13 +0000 http://matellis.cgsociety.org/gallery/804068

Hey everyone,

Here is my newest painting. The idea is that this city was built from random structures gathered from all around and stacked to build a city that stretches up very high in the sky.
This was going to be my entry into the Secret Agent Challenge but I did not finsih on time, so I decided to make it anyways but focusing on the environment.

Thanks!]]> Sun, 06 Sep 2009 15:47:26 +0000 http://matellis.cgsociety.org/gallery/786531

Hey everyone,

This is my newest painting. I decided that I wanted to create a some what fantasy character based off of a Hyena. Also I wanted to depict a scary looking creature that is also in the middle of raising its young. So this is what I have come up with. I hope you enjoy

Hey everyone!

Here is my newest painting. The idea is that this plane crashed and no one came to the rescue. So the survivers turned the wreck into a place to live over until someone finally arrives to save them.

Hey everyone,

Here is my newest painting. The idea is that some gangsters got in a fight with someone from a rival gang and decided to take him out into a graveyard and off him. And decided to make a snowman to hide the body, but that didnt work out to well. This is my first attempt at some dark humor so crits are most welcome

Thanks

prop for my concept Frozen Cargo]]> Tue, 28 Oct 2008 18:15:24 +0000 http://matellis.cgsociety.org/gallery/583658

This is a concept for my next matte painting project. It is a town that is high in the mountains and when they started running out of space they decided to expand the town on bridges.
I will be doing most of the matte painting in 3D and hopefully have a camera move to the scene when the scene is finished.

Cheers!]]> Sun, 13 Jan 2008 15:30:02 +0000 http://matellis.cgsociety.org/gallery/468531

Hey everyone,

Here is my entry for the Gnomon Workshop "lonely outpost" challenge. It started out as a matte painting but turned into more of a regualr painiting.I have been working on it non stop since the challenge was announced and I think this is my best work so far so I am happy.

The Idea is that this is a lighthouse from another world. And is over run by a vulture like creature that are scavengers feeding off any life they can find.
I think a light house is a great example of a lonely outpost. Most lighthouses are run by one person who is usually alone and 100's of miles away from anyone else and are known to either go insane or kill themselves. So I wanted a very dark creepy atmosphere full of odd shapes and color. A place that if you had to go there and work, you would feel like not even god would be with you.

Cheers!]]> Tue, 27 Feb 2007 22:43:20 +0000 http://matellis.cgsociety.org/gallery/649474

Hey Everyone,

This is my entry for the Strange Behavior Challenge.

The idea behind this painting is that this toddler was left out in the woods all alone, with nothing but a run-down shack in which to live. But instead of fixing up this shack he needlessly builds a huge city out of mud while his little old shack is falling apart and confusing the local wilf life.

Thanks to everyone for all the great crits and advice!]]> Fri, 16 Nov 2007 03:31:55 +0000 http://matellis.cgsociety.org/gallery/660564

Hey guys,

I had a bit of free time this weekend so I decided to do a concept of a futuristic city. I always loved the art of Star Wars and other movies set in the future so I thought I would take a stab at it. I started out with a plate photo and went from there.

Cheers!]]> Mon, 04 Aug 2008 23:18:30 +0000 http://matellis.cgsociety.org/gallery/607766

Thanks for looking at my work
