This was one sketch of how I saw the palace looking prior to seeing the live action. I really wanted to get a sense of grandeur and scale.

Final Comp with DMP in place. Working in 32 bit colour space in Nuke really helped bring the dmp to life - as did use of the Convolve node to give a realistic camera lens blur.

Quick thumbnail sketch developing scene from original production storyboard.

The scene was created from scratch in Photoshop beginning with early tonal paintings as above.

Concept / DMP development for the alien palace in episode seven.

DMP work showing before and after.

More dmp work. The camera angle and unusual perspective along with the original plate being rather murky made this quite tricky to get to work. Again, this would have worked better with the use of geometry and camera projection. Thank goodness for Nuke X!!

One example of concept art for the Blob in the final to eps of series four.

Just a couple of quick sketches for vehicle concepts...
