2012-02-01T06:32:00.004+01:00

Two concepts I've done in 2010 as previs for Tomek Baginski's (Platige Image) film Hardkor44. Workload was hitting me hard on last few months.. I hope soon enough I'll find enough time to get some personal paintings going.

The Last of Us

2011-12-12T22:44:00.002+01:00

After almost 1,5 year being here at Naughty Dog, I can finally proudly present the project I've been working on this entire time. 'The Last of Us'.

It's been a blast so far! Working with Bruce Straley (Game Director) and Neil Druckmann (Creative Director) is by far best professional experience I had in my entire career.

Take a look at teaser trailer that was shown for the first time on VGA's 2011 last Saturday. And below, two of many concept artworks I've done for the project.

Art.Fair 2011

I should have uploaded this image a while ago, better late than never.

weekend fun continued

2011-08-15T10:48:00.001+02:00

two sketches done over the weekend. tried to avoid any texture use this time.

2011-08-06T18:56:00.001+02:00

Weekend fun.. almost! I've been working on that piece throughout entire week actually, simply because of lack of time. Just half an hour here and there. Filling up portfolio variety.

Edit: more weekend fun.. on a contrary to photo-texture usage, something painted entirely from scratch.

push

2011-06-28T10:55:00.000+02:00

New image I worked on in a free time with quite some long breaks due to work overload. I generally wanted to get into mild sci-fi genre with one foot and see if the ground underneath is stable enough to continue venture into genre I havn't touch for a while.
Done this image in a similar way as Dark riders and gladiator concepts. Trying to keep total hours count down to 1 full working day.
Enjoy and I hope you'll like it!

new webpage is up!

2011-06-22T02:01:00.003+02:00

I slightly updated and refreshed the look of my website. Added few works that I didn't show before as well. Hope you'll all like it!

2011-06-18T04:31:00.004+02:00

I haven't been bosting for a while, since last couple of months I was quite quite busy... So, once i found just a bit free time I decided to dig out one of older sketches (from late 2010) and finish it up a bit. Little Avatar'esque shot in same detail style as few other concepts I posted a while ago (dark riders, gladtiator vs dragon,etc).

Hopefully, I will be able to show some more fresh stuff soon and I really wish I could get those extra few hours to get back to do some sketches. Maybe soon as well, right now gearing up to get back to the grinder :) Busy busy busy... and fun!

Crysis 2 concepts - repost

2011-05-13T19:35:00.003+02:00

Re-posting Crysis 2 concept artwork I've done in 2009/2010 when at Crytek. Apparently due to security updates blogger was deleting everything posted from wed 11 onwards >.>

ImagineFX 69 continuing

2011-04-22T20:26:00.002+02:00

Here's the image itself from the video tutorial I did for ImagineFX, issue 69.

Imagine FX

Playing around with lighting, phototextures and brushes.

Crysis 2 is out!

2011-03-22T19:47:00.005+01:00

It's a great feeling to see a project I've been working on at Crytek to come out. I got to give kudos to art team for pulling of one of the most amazing graphics in computer gaming up to date and to their art director and friend of mine Magnus Larbrant for pushing the style into the new level of Crytek games.

Althou my contribution to the project was minor compared to all the hard work that have been put by the team since a year I left the studio, it is still a great relief and a moment of joy to see all the pieces coming together in the final product and to see how well it has been received by the critics so far:

Great reviews! And I hope for great sales for old friends at Crytek.

Back to the NDI kennel tho, for even more awesome stuff to come !

Stay Strong

2011-03-17T10:02:00.003+01:00

I made this image as a my modest word of courage for Japan and their current dramatic situation. Stay strong.

LA mountains

2011-03-09T10:37:00.001+01:00

... continuing previous exercise with references. I think sometime soon I'll grow confident enough to drag my laptop outside and do some outdoor paintings finally.

Custom Shapes v2.0

2011-03-08T08:56:00.005+01:00

One more exercise with custom shapes as previously, althou this time I tried to be more loose with shapes. Everything is basically painted with flat colors and shading is done via gradient tool only. I start to like this painting style alot and I wouldn't get away without mentioning how much of an influence I'm taking from latest Robh's and Neil Ross paintings!

Custom Shapes

2011-03-04T09:34:00.003+01:00

Took a bit more time to practice painting with simple shapes and sharp-shaped brushes, custom selections and gradients. Unlike with previous exercise, this time I took a step into more triangular forms.

+ bonus step-by-step to the mountain pic.

Ranger tutorial

2011-03-01T22:52:00.006+01:00

I've gotten quite many requests for video tutorial of how I work. Here it is. It's not one of most amazing sketches I've ever done, however it shows one of plenty techniques of speed painting creation. There are many other ways I work with my files, Ranger tutorial is just one of them.

Image took me about 3hrs, so decided to speed it up abit.

Here is the final image in half of it's original resolution.

Rectangles, lines and gradients

2011-02-24T01:10:00.004+01:00

Two sketches I painted experimenting only with rectangle/line, selection, gradient and simple round brush erasing tools.

What's mountain hiding.

2011-02-22T01:07:00.006+01:00

Another weekend of sketching, this time Frazetta style. Lady, surprised what she saw walking by desert moutnain alcove.

Weekend brush mix

2011-02-15T04:02:00.002+01:00

I've been working alot with my custom brush set recently, trying to utilize few settings here and there along with new patterns and what not. Apparently with results that weren't interesting enough to include them among existing brushes. And then I decided to take a step back instead and see what potential I could bring with stuff that is already there...

So here is the little scene I painted with my brushes, but this time trying to mix 3-4 different patterns and brush strokes, linking and overlaying different painted layers, etc. I'm pretty happy with results so far and more confident with each another brush stroke. Good exercise, loads of those ahead.

Crysis 2 , 3/22/11

2011-02-14T23:34:00.004+01:00

This is one of the projects I've been working on while at Crytek in 2009-2010. I like the direction this game took and it's great to see how hard work of fellow Crytek'ers coming together. Great job guys!

The 3rd Letter

2011-02-11T20:13:00.003+01:00

Grzegorz Jonkajtys film The 3rd Letter is out on vimeo free to watch. I helped Grzegorz with few scenes to complete this move last year. Hope you'll enjoy it!

Dark Riders

2011-02-08T11:12:00.003+01:00

I attempted yet another exercise to load some realistic/cinematic lighting into the scene, play with textures and paint and close down with final image in less than 6-7 hrs.. almost. I think this one took maybe 7-8, where major chunk was just tinkering with proper adjustments and nailing down the spot-light-alike look.

On a side note, I've notice the more I try to blend phototextures in, the more I learn about weaknesses of my current brushes, since I really want to see brushstrokes bleeding into textures seamlessly. Tons of work ahead in that matter and I can't wait to see what's next to discover!

Friendly Chat

2011-02-03T19:38:00.003+01:00

My newest dragon doodling. I think it took around ~5hrs to complete with maximum focus on realizm in colors, values and shapes. I decided not to waste time on painting details and used phototextures instead (mixed with custom brush work, as usual).

Inspiration? First it was by watching How to train your dragon (wait, what?!), then Spartacus TV show, then Two Steps from Hell - Invincible on headphones. Fun fun fun.

3x5 mins

2011-01-15T02:55:00.003+01:00

3 quick thumbnails right before lunch-break end. I tried to keep the thumbnail as clear and simple as possible, yet showing enough detail without playing with values. Just simple contrast. I hope to do more of these, it feels like a good composition exercise.

2010-12-23T20:03:00.003+01:00

Little sketch after Vorace's linedrawing from Gorilla Artfare. For fun, about 2hrs of work.

Also an excuse to make this post and wish everybody a wonderful Christmas and a happy New Year!

Prepare your diapers...

Spike VGAs 2010 on Saturday night 11th, 5PM PT!

Yet another Dragon.

2010-10-22T23:51:00.002+02:00

Dragon concept I've been working on for a while, testing some new brush settings and texture mixing.

A knight, a dragon and the lens flare

2010-09-22T05:35:00.002+02:00

I've been sketching this one for a while, pickin' it up and dropping to do something else after like 15 minutes each time. Not sure how long this took me, 3-4 hrs maybe. I'm happy I'm over it and it didn't land into my 'shit-goes-here' folder :)

2010-08-31T07:41:00.000+02:00

little weekend sketch. Sucker Punch trailer inspired.

blood splatter

2010-07-27T07:41:00.004+02:00

extended lunchbreak + afterworks sketching. Not sure how much it took me, guessin about the same as other sketches I used to post here few months back.

Hell, it's about time...

2010-07-25T10:51:00.003+02:00

I've finally forced myself to sit down a little longer with iPad, take the the fact of non-existent pressure sensitivity and lack of cintiq at home (for a time beeing at least), played SC2 ghost from the past trailer for the 50th time and after roughly 3hrs with 'Brushes' app and another 30 seconds with photoshop to crank up the contrast, here is what I've ended up with. Handling the image without pressure sensitivity is really annoying, however, thought me little different approach to handle soft gradients. The option for opacity change based on stroke speed is awesome!

I gotta say, Brushes is so MUCH better app than Sketchbook for iPad.

Hell, it's about time...to update this long forgotten blog :D

Whoaaaa

2010-06-15T09:20:00.002+02:00

Just saw this roaming over internet in last 2 days, E3 Crysis 2 banner, one of my last tasks when I was at Crytek. I gotta say, its BIG and it looks cool! I will see if I can get clearence to show original file at some point, so stay tuned.

Anyways, I relocated, finally.. Getting settled here is more time consuming than I thought it will be, but everything is goin pretty smooth so far. Weather is alright, June apparently is very cloudy and foggy month.
On the other hand, might wanna try ipad for outdoor painting some time soon (+about to order stylus pen since finger painting is just atrocious).

Other than that nothing exciting. Ive quit daily sketching for a time beeing, thou I might come back with some ipad doodles anytime soon (or later).

2010-04-28T14:07:00.002+02:00

Just 3 more days left for the final move.. Time is running fast and days becoming busier towards the end of this week. LOADS of paperwork, you know, usual german thing... Meh.
Anyways, I found this piece in workfiles folder few days ago dated as WIP file from 2005. I want to finish this concept at some point once in US, however, figured out its a good oportunity to post it along with this message - makes text reading less boring ;)

Landscapes

2010-04-15T22:40:00.004+02:00

Couple of landscape sketches in little different, cleaner style. I tried to keep them under 1,5 hrs mark.

spaghetti...

2010-04-14T23:14:00.003+02:00

.. she will make one for him fo sure.

2010-04-12T18:02:00.000+02:00

lunchbreaks (+ a little) are good!

20 days left...

2010-04-11T20:44:00.003+02:00

.. for a big move! After almost 5 years of living in Germany, Frankfurt, its time to move on. Over last couple of months alot of things happened where most of them where leaning towards a big step that is just 20 days ahead. In May 1st, me, my lovely wife and my little dog are moving to Santa Monica, CA!

It's only this month left for me at Crytek, a company that let me grow in productive and very creative environment. Good things thou never last forever, especially when greater things are awaiting.

Alot of packing and things to be done before final big move and I just can't wait to get a taste of Southern California weather! :)

PS: A little traveler's concept drop for Sunday's evening.

Serengeti + biohazard

2010-04-10T21:43:00.003+02:00

Quick sketch of monsterous bull, to brighten up not-so-cool weekend.

2010-04-09T23:52:00.002+02:00

Little more Mullins sketches study...

huntress

2010-04-08T22:37:00.003+02:00

Little savannah sketch. I tried to mix custom brush work with different magnitudes of smudge tool in order to get a little more wet-paint look.

trooper

2010-04-06T22:52:00.008+02:00

I've snatched little speed whitebox model that Hanno Hagedorn was working on while ago and did little overpaint. This took me roughly 1,5hrs with getting moon-alike environment I thought this model would fit into.

Little mullins study and last mech piece for this weekend

more mech stuff

1,5hrs speed

Even more rusted metal

2010-04-02T21:32:00.000+02:00

So this struck me when I was browsing thru blogs of my favourite artists. I stumbled upon newst piece from Robh Ruppel and yea, Robh, fuckin awesome stuff! Here's little tribute to the mech sketch, just different mech and different environment.

2010-04-02T01:05:00.002+02:00

Friday's sketch.

2010-04-01T13:32:00.003+02:00

I digged out one anatomy drawing books (struttura uomo) and decided sketch something without looking at any references. I did overnight recycling of older sketches (mainly for background). Getting the character shapes right was quite challenging but worth a try. I have to try more of that in the future, with little more dynamic poses/cam angles...

2010-04-01T00:30:00.002+02:00

First take on interiors since quite few months..

2010-03-27T00:07:00.001+01:00

Some environment doodling.

Noir

2010-03-25T19:29:00.003+01:00

Lunchbreak + little afterwork, roughly 2hrs of doodlin. In little noir rim light and desat.

2010-03-22T08:15:00.002+01:00

1 more overnight colorplay.

2010-03-21T21:43:00.004+01:00

One sketch for this weekend. Inspired by Craig Mullins pirates. Yarrrrrrrrr!

before weekend medieval armor+light study

2010-03-18T22:10:00.001+01:00

Little light and surface texture study with custom brushes.

PS Brushes

2010-03-18T15:15:00.002+01:00

I promised to post them so here they are. Hope you enjoy them!
Crediting BIG thanks to Mathias Verhasselt, Levente Peterfy and Jaime Jones for inspiring brushsets as well. Those sets were mind-opening in terms of tweaking brush shapes and settings.

Brushes

Gladiator

2010-03-16T01:35:00.002+01:00

Continuing with fantasy scheme, fun with brushes and lighting.

2010-03-14T22:11:00.004+01:00

On my last sketch teh dragon got slain. Here is what slayer was jealous of..

2010-03-13T20:49:00.003+01:00

Coming back to fantasy theme this time with 3 different brushes than those Ive used on last sketches.

+1 more for saturday. with ultra awesome pew-pew brick-brush for reptile's skin.

What if...

2010-03-13T00:52:00.004+01:00

... Far Cry was all about the aliens rather than mercenaries? I think the drawback of this would be red costume against blue blood and not other way around...

Knightress in Marrakesh-alike city.

2010-03-10T21:57:00.003+01:00

Roughly 3,5 hrs of paint+patching in some parts of sketches that I've never finished.

We are ODST

2010-03-10T09:47:00.001+01:00

Damn straight!

Immortal

2010-03-09T01:01:00.004+01:00

Continuing with speedpaints with one more 1,5hrs sketch at your hands. This time tho, with quite different brushes and style + some little texturing to the mix.

Sea monsters

2010-03-07T23:24:00.004+01:00

Weekend's speedpaint droplet with awesome kraken yet alien alike sea monsters!

Testing brushes..

2010-03-05T23:23:00.003+01:00

I've set up the render for 36stairs rollin and meanwhile started playing around with custom PS brushes (mainly, oily lookin ones). This pic took me roughly less than 2hrs. Much more freedom in shapes coming from large brush strokes rather than rigid texture underlay like on the last one. I'm happy with it. And I hope you enjoy it as well.

Cut'n'Paste!

2010-03-04T23:45:00.005+01:00

I've tried to get some detailed environment with copy pastin' method for base sketch. Took couple of textures and photos, mashed them with overlays etc to get the basic concept and composition I had in my head and moved on from there with getting the whole mess into final shape which you can see above. This is not an usual way I'm doin my compositions, however, it was quite interesting exercise, as from the very beginning the image is bound to details -> meaning any composition changes would hurt on underlayed texture consistency. Interesting, but definitely not the way I prefer to do the concepts :)

What if Kaneda was a women?

2010-03-01T00:04:00.002+01:00

Yea what if? Anyways, again, another cyberpunk genre piece based on classics but this time little spiced-up version of it. Plus, my lovely wife did help me on that with some ref shots I used to texture this out. Hope you enjoy it!

One more for this week

2010-02-26T23:50:00.002+01:00

This is based on an old sketch I've done quite some time ago and I decided to put some few moments on it today to get it done. Last one for this week, time to shift some time on 36 stairs.

36 stairs film from Grzegorz Jonkajtys

2010-02-26T13:59:00.002+01:00

36stairs trailer from grzegorz jonkajtys on Vimeo.

36 stairs is another short movie coming from award winning Grzegorz Jonkajtys (Cannes Film Festival official selection, Best of show on Siggraph 2007 as some of honourables). Grzegorz mixes this time both CG and live action footage to create a dystopian vision of a world where humans depend on bio-mechanincal alteration to withstand deteriorating climate.
As a part of it, I'm helping Grzegorz on matte painting side together with other talented artists. I will keep you posted on that subject and definitely post some work done on it once it's finally released. Meanwhile, get to see the trailer!

Ridley Scott's 'Blade Runner' still inspiring!

2010-02-24T00:51:00.003+01:00

So I've watched Blade Runner last night again and it's one of those movies that I just can't get enough off! VFX and art direction done on that movie is still something that I will always refer as absolute #1 cyberpunk classic.
So I got into that mood, put Ghost in the Shell soundtracks on my headphones and started painting. This is what I came with after roughly 6hrs. Some textures here and there, browsing thru tokyo-at-night refs. Nothing fancy, tho someting I havn't tried before. And gotta say. I'm actually happy with the result :)

biking

2010-02-18T12:06:00.002+01:00

I gotta get a bike at some point.

urban ninjahh!

2010-01-21T00:07:00.004+01:00

This concept sketch I've been doin for quite a while and decided to give it a final touch tonight.. After watching some crazy Berlin's parkour stunts on youtube I decided to add some urban ninjas into the pic. Would be quite interesting to see something like this on not-so-stable atols :D

avatar sketch update

2010-01-01T19:30:00.003+01:00

I've decided to update 'avatar' image abit. Wasn't fully happy with colors and depth. Over and out!

avatar , pandora alike sketch, happy new year!

2010-01-01T00:12:00.004+01:00

So, 2010 at hand, yuppie!. It has been qutie crazy year but I did like few things that happened in 2009. One of those, was seein Avatar in 3d last week... That was... HUGE!! It's a first time for long long time, I left cinemat with feeling, I need to see this movie again. The sheer amount of work guys from WETA did for that movie was just incredible and there were moments I couldnt figure whether I'm lookin at live action sequences, or pure CG. Character anims... fuckin BLAST!

So right after, I took my laptop and spent some holiday time to paint something 'after avatar' alike. Here we go, my Pandora copy. Nothing more that that really. Just sorta tribute to the movie itself.

Anyways, time to go back to drinking :> HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Updates updates updates

2009-12-03T09:46:00.005+01:00

I've got some NDA lifted for a couple of works I did between 2007-2009. I can't give more insight to what projects those have been and what is their status. Check out few samples here and drop by my website to see all others. I hope however you enjoy it :)

gates

2009-04-04T02:20:00.004+02:00

Been into fantasy mood quite a bit lately...

I've also bought SLR camera, finally. Canon EOS 450D, nothing really fancy, just something I can start working with, having in mind shooting some textures and landscapes mostly. Weather is getting nicer outside, perhaps there will be plenty of opportunities to see how rich of reference material can Frankfurt and areas be. Lets see how it goes :)

cliff doodle

2009-03-21T02:48:00.002+01:00

1 more post for tonight, concept sketch I will want to use to produce little matte painting with some camera animations and ll kinds of crap.

the hunt for gollum

2009-03-21T02:30:00.006+01:00

Havn't been around here for a while.. so figured out its good time to refresh the blog a bit.
Last 3 months were crazy.. I've been getting myself involved in quite intresting side project, The Hunt For Gollum. TH4G is a free online movie made by Tolkien's enthusiasts, 40 min long. What made this project special for me is not only the way it presents itself (it looks really awesome!), but also a great team of artists that have been involved in post production (that includes a couple of workers from Framestore).
My work for the project included couple of matte paintings as well as beeing Matte Painting Supervisor and running small team of talented and really cool artists. Posting an example here and you can find more of it on my website.

more color studies

2008-11-01T01:18:00.004+01:00

I started to work on that sketch couple of weeks ago but dropt it pretty quick. Decided to refresh it a bit and work around color palette to achive interesting results. I think Im pretty happy with it, altho some areas still are pretty weak.

Working on colors is something I found really exercising recently, as it is a challenge for someone without art-school background. When I'm trying to figure out which colors would fit best into compostion I'm trying to create, I sometimes regret I didn't pick up art school in a first place, to get solid workshop background. When you work in production, you rarely have time to think about in-depth about such a things, as you want to achieve best results with minimum effort. I wish I could have more time to play around colors and learn something more about it with better pace. It's just pure fun.

that picture is some sort of follow up for pretty decent popcorn movie I've seen a while back - Transformers. I'm not a real fan of that brand, but I thought vfx and movie overall was pretty ok experience. At least robots looked cool!

Color and brush fooling around with some additional texturing.

I more try to fool around with colors and lights. This time with little inspiration taken from Warhammer 40k and Starcraft.

some pic rework

2008-10-17T00:46:00.000+02:00

I wasn't fully happy with previous one... Decided to detail it out in sorta different way. I'm still not super happy with it either, tho will leave it as it is coz overworked stuff usually turns crap :)

Anyways, that was kinda nice excercise and little get-away from directing art stuff on daily basis, where there is just not enough time for beautiful paintings.

cudos to budapest guys

For those who are into FP shooter games, freaking cudos to Crytek Budapest guys. They did awesome job delivering warhead in such a shape and in such a short time. I didnt't personally have a chance to work on it, tho seen it in action and it rocks!

moonlight

Came up with an idea for this environment after a short walk I had with my dog. There was beautiful moon shining on almost cloudless sky and it looked so fuckin cool I couldnt resist to paint something with that.

icebreaker brainfart

2008-08-02T18:13:00.004+02:00

I like those days when ideas keep coming. The only thing that sometimes annoys me is when you really want to see good results of your brainfarts, but the longer you work on image, the further away you are from satisfying look of it. Thus I used some google to avoid wasting time on painting icebreaker from the scratch. One of photos just fit perfectly the angle and composition of picture I had in my mind, rest came along with custom brushwork and some texture overlaps from my old works. And there we go, couple of hours of work and I feel satisfied :)

1 more environment

sketches

2008-07-25T01:51:00.003+02:00

Decided to spend some spare time and sketch out couple of environemnts. Most of those can be read as speed-paintings, done within short amount of time without too much atention on details, but mood and feeling. 3 of those for now...

Starcraft'ish

2008-03-09T18:12:00.003+01:00

First sketch made for last couple of months. Inspired by Blizzard's Starcraft 2 cinematics, I'll definitely buy this game when it comes out :)

Recap v2

It's been whole 3 years I've been working at Crytek. I'm pretty happy with results we've achieve. Crysis is out for some time around now, selling as good as we expected :) I'm really glad of all the feedback we've got on forums and fan community sites (incl. both positive and negative). The interest was and still is very high. Thanks for all that.

I'm not a concept artist here anymore. I will have to take care of more responsible task now, and lead new Crytek's projects with artistic vision in Art Director's position. The team here is great and encourages for giving extra effort to bring more awesomeness to gamers world. Hopefully our next game will define another quality bar among the industry.

Damn loads of time has past since I have last look at this blog, and since things has changed around, I decided to reorganize it, delete old crap, and post new things whenever they will appear.
