Tony Hough's new batch o' stuff

[tonyhough]

I've been working hard to get a new batch of samples ready to show my agent. These items are "finished" in as much as any digital piece is ever finished - in other words these are the versions I'm going with at the moment... That said, any helpfull crits/comments will be entertained!!!
It's a mixed bag of stuff some totally Photoshop, some being reworked versions of earlier stuff in other mediums. I'm in one of them...
I've included a detail of some of them mostly the bits I liked best, or most wanted feedback on.
There's a few more in the pipeline which I'll post up in a couple of days.

Here's another one: This is a reworking of one of my "Bloodbones" illos (as was the Witchdoctor before) thoroughly photoshopped to look like an old photo.

Ah, when I say "finished" I mean "until I decide that x or y look crap and have to change it...."
I had to revise some of those pictures: A New Life needed quite a lot of revision of the robot angel and the sword, and the overall colour of the sky....
I think it looks better now.
Boulderscape needed brightening up.
The Witchdoctor's lower half needed more work to re-swish his robe and I made the glass dagger a little smaller and more pointy

Another of my new batch, which is developed from one of my Bloodbones pen illustrations. Again, much altered Photoshop repaint. All crits/comments welcome!

Man that second one is great(the dark alley with the old woman).

So strange and surreal, it reminds me a lot of this stop motion animation by the Bolex Brothers, "the Secret Adventure of Tom Thumb".

Really unique and interesting stuff all around, I really am a fan!

A new one showing ranks of strange statues (or are they fossils?) on an alien world.
This one was completely created using Photoshop. The statues were created seperately from the background and were originally an abstract pattern generated by layering various filters over a randomly daubed colour field, then selecting, distorting and mirroring various portions until something interesting emerged. The background was created in a similar way.

I never liked this kind of style. It just freaks me out man. Sorry no my cup of tea...
;o(

Great stuff Tony.
I've can't believe I never realised it before but there's a great similarity of your work to that of HR Gigar [Giger?].
Just an observation but anyway, love it all the same.

Some great detail and some really freaky creatures.
