Blood The Last Vampire concept vfx + matte p2

[djahal]

Hi there,
this is my first post
hope you'll like it

[pao]

hehe, awesome work man, the last one is my wallpaper since a long time hehe, my favorite from you : D

[saprophilous]

awesome lush and deep environments. i particularly like the fourth down... it contains a lot of small elegances, the blue lights and texture of the light/smoke coming from the craft

[djahal]

Hey Pao thank you !
Hope to see you soon ! btw your work is amasing !

saprophilous thank you man

[caleb havertape]

love it, its beautiful

[kinjura]

This stuff is fantastic. I'm in love with the last one!

[Duman]

Very cool stuff. Nice and dramatic, especially for landscapes. Destroyed city with the robot is especially cool.
Nice job!

[guubir]

It's living.. good
:yum:

[Icedearth15876]

Great environment designs and couple character designs, you could go far with those, keep up the good work.

[JailHouseRock2]

Amazing work, 5*!

Love the evos, great use of colour!

cheers
matt

[NeecHMonkeY]

Vernoa is easily one of my all time favorite digital paintings - I just have to look at that one each time I start to paint and I'm always inspired to do the best I can.

[Majora]

Nice work, I enjoyed these :D

[sabin boykinov]

Very good works, keep it up !

[lordbiernac]

tha last one is awesome man:) I like the first one too, but I think there is a slight perspective issue with this lonely piece of architecture on the left... it looks a bit like if it was entirely beneath the horizon line... like if we were watching it from above... but this might be only my impression :)
anyways... totally awesome work :)

[djahal]

Thank you all for your compliments
lordbiernac thank you for your comment, I've changed the perspective, here it is

[nickmarshallvfx]

Awesome work! Really impressive! Great that you took on board lordbiernac's advice too, it definitely helped.
You have a gorgeous painting style, keep it up! Hope to see more soon!

[psychoboy]

cool stuff man

[xchosun1x]

nice work!
keep it up...
i love the realism and painterly aspects to your pieces.
Keep us updated

[pocko]

you really nailed the perspective issue with the second version of peace keepers!

i have the tiniest nit-pick about the martial arts one. the left-hand conical roof looks a bit like a pointy hat on the left-hand figure.

[skikk]

Very nice work, i mean really nice.

Im not qualified to give any critism, i could newer do what you do, though that I would like to in the future. But im gonna go at it anyway;

I study architecture and I do some linework and working with perspective and renders. Considering the amount of detail you put in in your pieces, for me it seems a bit odd that the buildings, that are very much in focus, lack the quality that the landscape has. I understand that you are bordering between speed-painting and more precise painting, but the very dramatic error in the pointed vault for me is hard to justify. (First piece, the main building, right in the picture)

I understand that it is a cuestion of style, but as I said, with the amount of detail you put in, why not only give a touch of correction for the vaults.

Another thing, the japaneese styled buildings, the last piece, again that the houses lack the level of detail that of the nature, but this time that your facedes lack the shadows the carpentry creates, that way they kind of loose their realism. They look a little flat is what i want to say.

I think all you concept artists do the best kind of art ever seen, but it seems to me that some details show that you sometimes lack knowledge of buildings or you ignore what you know for artistic reasons.

Sorry for taking up space in this forum.

Short. Your work is good, so good that to me the perspective errors in the baroque buildings and the lack of shades in the japaneese ones, make that the result suffers.

http://www.djahalland.com/images/work/tanker.jpg

[Capital G]

wow, your environments are awesome, your composition and scale is great

[Smeg Head]

The rock on the last one is so close to photo realism it's scary.

Stunning work!

[Dahami]

Fantastic piece. So, how exactly does a ship like that nullify the effects of gravity? I guess our physicists still don't know, but at least we know what it looks like when it does, thanks to pictures like this.

[RocketMonkey]

Sweet!!!

[djahal]

thank you all,
bcarman : Thanks Dude, someone already made this remark, test in holding account now, for better a legibility.

[kikindaface]

wow great art ! i love your illos ! i really wanna know how you're doing to paint the textures of the " mountains " ( i mean the " stones" on the last piece, i dunno how to call it ) Anyway, keep updating this thread ! 5 stars

[hunchback]

wicked environments.
the very fisrt image of the forest and the building is easily the best one so far
the vegetation is convincing and the lighting is pretty sick xD nice colours too

cya
