This is a 2D textural concept for the "Manticore" a half lion half scorpion mythical creature from the feature film:

"Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters".  I used Photoshop and Painter to paint over Zbrush Model.

 

This is the Zbrush sculpt used as a base for the textural concept study.

This was an early texture concept for the "Bony Lizzy" creature from the upcoming feature film : "Seventh Son" This was a head texture study.  I was instructed to be whimsical and think of different possible image sources to imitate the original concept art.  I used many unlikely sources such as, drift wood and beef jerky for the bony head plates and beak also used lion fish scales for the side flaps.

In this image we can see how far this creature evolved from the fast lose early stages to the fully developed.  Unfortunately I was put on another assignment and the final was done by another artist, but you can still see how some of the ideas survived the wholw process!

This is the wing section of the "Bony Lizzy" creature from "Seventh Son".  This creature was a very challenging project because the producers and director asked for what seemed interminable versions and there was a lot of structural changes to the over all look and feel of this monster.  Initially this creature was once an owl and it morphed all the way to become a bird like dragon of sorts!  They wanted the creature to live up to it's Bony monicher, yet it had to be very light to be nimble in flight! My Art Director and I broke down every last pore of this wing.  It was a tricky blend of scale like feathers or was it feather like scales? I never really figured it out!!! Those scale feathers blended into a thin web of bat like wing but were framed by hard porous like bones.

In this version my supervisor asked me to concentrate on the alignment and positioning of the scales into rows of "nail like" texture that were slightly based on rattle snake scales, but were conjoined by semi flexible "cartilage like webs in between the scales! The surface on the wing itself was like thin Gila monster scales.  At one point I was asked to design four to five versions of the single scale types.  I'm not sure where these studies ended up but that is how much detail was considered for this creature!

I was handed down another artists' art work of Bony Lizzy from "Sevent Son", that did not yet include my ideas for the scales and flaps so I painted them in on a separate layer for comparison purposes.  Other artists were asked to do the same thing!  We wanted to make sure we had lots of choices for review!

This was yet another artist artwork integrating the scales and flaps for Bony Lizzy from "Seventh Son"

This is a bedroom concept for the feature film "Minority Report".  I began to draw simple layout concepts and then I did simple Maya models of the room and furniture and then I applied some 3D textures.  I made an image capture and finished off the rest of the detail with 2D textures in photoshop.

This is a detail of the bathroom for "Minority Report", most of the content was 3D models generated in Maya with 3D textures and then took a 2D snapshot and painted in extra detail in photoshop.

This is a still from the feature film "Lost Souls".  I was provided with a clean plate from production and it was a pretty clean well kept bathroom image.  I began to add 2D texture layers of rust, grime, dirt, cracks, peeled paint, broken tiles etc. in photoshop. These layers were organized and given to the compositor who in turn animated the layers in sequence to create the haunting of the bathroom.

This is a partial CG environment modeled and textured in Maya.  I did not make the 3D models but I did texture the bark and rocks in Maya and the rest of the foliage was projected onto the shot with 2D textures. Water was a fluid effect but I did not generate this effect.

 This is the final stage of proximity shot to Disney's "Christmas Carol" as Scrooge falls back down toward the ground we see night time London and the Thames River.  This was a hand painted 2D texture projected onto a 3D image plane.On this shot I used Maya and Sketch Up integrated with the painted composition to really bring out more detail.

This "fall sequence" was used in the movie trailer!

This is a still from the feature film "JFK" and it is a full cg shot! I created the textures for the jet fighter and the textures for the landscape below, which is suppossed to represent the island of Cuba.  This was the Cuban missle crisis scene.

This is the  2D texture that I painted in photoshop which was projected onto a 3D mesh and baked in to the shot above.  It was using real topography of the island of Cuba for the feature film "JFK".

This was a plate from production and hand painted 2D texture using Photoshop and Painter IX. It was used as a matte painting for "Where the Wild Things Are".

This is the "Maggi Castle" from the feature film "Nativity Story" it is a 3D Model with 3D textures applied using Maya and Photoshop.

This is a 3D model I made for the feature film "Nativity Story" and I used Maya and Photoshop.  It is The Temple on the Mount of Biblical tradition and it was based on the real architectural plans believed to have been used by the original in Jerusalem!  It is pain stakingly accurate in dimensions and detail.

This is a composite still of the Temple of Jerusalem in context with it's surrounding architecture.  It is a full CG set and it was widely used for many shots in the feature film "Nativity Story" I was only responsible for the Temple model and the temple textures.  Other artists contributed to the rest of the buildings.
