More of the same .... but different. Cheers, David

More 2.5D work. This was totally made from a bunch of alphas converted to 3D tools ... applied to the canvas and then some extensive work with the hook brush, post in Photoshop.

Cheers, David

I think you have a better rock pile than most people....

GRIN!!!

Hi Mealea, Thanks so much ..... so nice of you to say that!

You were my inspiration to start showing my work here and have fun! Cheers, David

[chalkman]

I lied .... I got inspired and did another piece. Cheers, David

Some good stuff here! You could have a look at an old surrealist painter by the name of Yves Tanguy for a bit of inspiration.

Surrealism meets Kandinsky?
Wonderful images chalkman!
Have you tried to render them against plain white?
Then print some of them together on a huge white paper.

Hi Niko, Thanks you so much! I certainly intend to revisit the work of Tanguy it is inspiring work!

I love your Creatures (especially post #12) great drawing as well, Your freaks and your people sculpts in general.

Thanks Michalis! I kind of like this dark background for now. I render usually using just the preview render and in Photoshop apply this dark effect and noise to the whole image and then using a history brush I selectively take away the dark layer using different opacity in different areas to give most of my colors a pastel look (in most cases).

I do intend to print a nice portfolio of a select group of this work on a heavy matte surface archival paper, probably in a few weeks!

All the best, David

I also like this dark environment. It wasn't my point.
I was thinking about printing limitations and an easy Ps work. Trying to imagine this huge print, on a wall. The use of some nice, physically textured paper, probably.
