A very good example of how we should act, and how we don't have to act against our mother nature...

Daily sketch forum thread. Topic: "Avatar"



This is my own avatar in Pandora. I cant wait to visit this planet...

:)

Daily sketch forum thread. Topic: "2012"



Another sketch for daily sketch forum in cgsociety. It took me about 50 min to do.
Its a picture of 2012, my hope is not like a movies built on a destruction nad doom days comming. My point of view is a need to create, not destroy. Alternative energy and saving a nature is the task which is now most important to do.

Hope you like it.

Peace

bagonasart thread

Cleaning the windows...



I was sitting at job and watching through the window. Two guys were cleaning the windows of high building. At that moment I thought, what a good picture it can become. And became... Not a painting, but a sketch or etude.

Slaves - animation documentary



Trailer

Director: Hanna Heilborn, David Aronowitsch
Producer: Hanna Heilborn, Anders Nystrom
Country: Sweden, Denmark, Norway
Year: 2008
Time: 15 minutes

Yesterday I saw this great animation documentary. Its about horror and slavery in Africa. Kids are telling stories how they were kidnapped and pushed to do hard work without having any drop of water. I was really taken by whole story and the view I saw on the screen.
Great movie. I really recommend you to see it.

Peace in Africa.

Winter



winter view... sometimes I really miss a good winter, with a lot snow and bright sky. Rrr... but feeels good.

Brush testing and trying to make it like real media ink, just saving trees and nature, and doing it in digital.


This is an etude of a autumn... right from my mind. No reference used.

GREENPEACE inspiring action

THE AGE OF STUPID

Today I saw a movie. Not like any others. A movie, which made me think about everything that happening and will happen. Think very deeply, cause there is no "tomorrow". all we have is this moment to decide, will we go right way. So, from right now, Im starting to push myself for more good things I can do to our planet, to save it...

Monday mood


Again I am at my job place. And here is what I see through my window... Rain and cold weather outside..

Friday, October 23, 2009



Finally I have finished one of my concepts. It looks like wuite fast, but I think Its enough.

Quick one...


One`s during daily non-ending job I was asked to show, how fast It is possible to do a painting, simple one, just to get impression and mood of the scene. It can be used for animation or movie, or as a single picture.
So this one is an example. It took me about 10 - 15 minutes to do. And I`m quite happy with the result.

One of experimental speed paintings I`ve done to create some stage environment and overall mood. Nothing else :)

Challenge


Hy everyone. I have entered 2D challenge yesterday in "It`s art" community and I hope everything will go well this time. I have enought time to do it right way, so let`s sharpen our pencils...
