Halcyon Awaits

This one was in the works for a while. It even made it into the E-On Software 2012 Environment contest finals. Didn't win... but cool thing nonetheless. The creation was tedious but fun. Tried a couple of new things, especially with the bridges. Worked out nicely. =) Specific Info: http://v5.tigaer-design.com/?p=1525

This one was fun to do. It's kind of a mashup of previous projects I did so far. The docked ship was modeled by Sebastien Hue after a rough sketch of mine. Props to http://shadowness.com/shue13 for his skills in modeling! For specific Info & Wallpapers check: http://v5.tigaer-design.com/?p=1415

The Moebius Passage

I finished this one a while ago. Sometimes you catch a flow and a pic gets pretty much done by itself. Sometimes it's a fight. This one was a fight. It was the first pic in a long while that I wanted to do in a portrait format. Normally I'm going for landscape format. First the idea of tilting the pic, to give a little more dynamic, helped me to get going with it. It dedicated to the fabulous Jean Giraud aka Moebius who passed away when I wasi n the final stages of creating this pic. Wallpapers & Specific Info: http://v5.tigaer-design.com/?p=1212

Yet again a futuristic cityscape. This time I aimed for a different color palette than I usually use. I had no big plans when I started this one and therefore am quite surprised how well it turned out. This picture was also part of The Luminarium: Illuminate IV art exhibit.

This one is a failed experiment from 2009. Over the years I, every now and then, took me some time to play with it. Now I guess it's, at least for now, done. =) Specific Info & Wallpapers: http://v5.tigaer-design.com/?p=1099

A little while ago I posted an alternative version to this one, which was used for a short Advanced Photoshop tutorial. Now this picture here is the real deal. It's one of my personal favourites. Just love the atmosphere and lighting. Hope you dig it too!

This picture was a submission for ‘The Luminarium‘ Artgroup. Their topic was ‘Asylum‘. My interpretation of the meaning can pretty much be seen in this picture. It’s a more peaceful approach. Here we have two people on a field trip to find some peace. But the environment looks a little different don’t you think? Of course I wanted to put in a little Fantasy/Scifi component. So our two friends here are either in the future on a distant planet or in an alternate universe. But that’s a taste thing. =D Created with Vue, Xenodream and Photoshop.

This submission was part of a tutorial I wrote for the current issue of the Advanced Photoshop Magazine #90. In this tutorial we talk about how to implement a sky that complements the scene and change the overall atmosphere of the picture to make it all match. This picture here is my personal version. The version I created for the mag looks a little different since I was restricted to only use tools and materials everyone else can use too. For specific info please check here: http://v5.tigaer-design.com/?p=1019 For all who read it I hope it will help you in future projects.
