How do you do this? Are you using some 3d application?
Im also realy inderested how you planning your scenes. Can you do some tutorial?

[Meren]

Yes they are amazing! Very nice lightning indeed.

When I see these, I to know the rest of the story. What is going on in these fantastic environments? Well I guess I want to see the movie. lol

hot damn

[DernierCri]

very interesting mix of high tech look and old-fashioned architecture...
first piece is def. my favorite...
I like those flying structures. crit: the far one looks just a bit too much in the same position like the closer one. that brought my attention at once but it's not big deal...

[Odds]

now there's some inspiration.. :)

[Gilles]

really awesome work!!!

I think the lighting and the architecture are the strongest points! The design is very strong and gives a good feeling. I must add that I think that some of the designs are not that original but this doesn't mean it's a bad thing.

Two thumbs up!!!

[camilografix]

Great concepts! I Love the lighting.

[El Dodo]

Great rendering and use of perspective! I dig the fourth one <3

[Frank.Xu]

I like it!!!Very much!

[Sammy]

Man these are just great --- by buddy Jung Park warned me of your skills ; )

keep this up, that last one has amazing energy-

[2100]

Same same,

but I particularly like your clear brush strokes.

[stephenopoly]

Thanks for all your helpful comments, i really appreciate it! I will try to post process images, simply put, i usually start from a line drawing sketch, value, then color and texture. Thanks again!

Hey Stephen, I love you're stuff, both here and on the site. I'm also at Art Center (on a term off at the moment actually). I was wondering if any of these were projects for a particular class. If so, which classes?

[beginner]

hello stephenopoly
i remember you! (didn't you win the painter contest?) if so, i'm the guy from switzerland that contacted you some time ago! i like the examples you posted. they all have that tight professional look most people like to achieve... give us a hint, what is you favourite tool within painter? conte? oils? acrylics? or do you mix all the time?
greetings

[look]

Those are totally awesome. I love the 3rd and 6th one.

[I.was.ink]

Very nice work Stephen.
My favorite piece is the one with the yellow roof tents. Great composition!

btw, we're in the same class together with Gary. I was the guy sitting to your right last week talking to you (and the other steve) about how Mullins gets his texture ;)

[Oliver23]

Wow! I really dig the last one.

[Dragonspit]

very nice work. Stopped by your websit, I would say anyone that likes your stuff here, needs to stop by there.

[trevor]

very clean look
that second one looks a bit inspired by the school itself
i would love to see more

Hi!

The third fourth and fifth pieces were done as independent study pieces with mark goerner, and the 2nd one down with scott robertson independent study, and the other two where just done off term, i would recommend taking an entertainment class with feng zhu but he's currently not teaching, he may start again.... anyways see you around school!

hello,

I like using painter as a sketching tool, i usually do my line drawings on painter, then use photoshop to paint and apply color. ( i don't think i've entered a painter contest before ) good times!

HEY!!!!! hows it going? of course i remember you, wow small world, i recognize you through your avatar. see you in class!

[JAGrello]

Very smooth and detailed... keep it coming... do you have a sketchbook posted?

[Krigbrann]

I like the detail paid to reflection in the second to last peice. Very nice.

[Mav]

Those are way cool. My favorites are #1 and #4, I love the mix between old architecture and futuristic technology. And if you put a funky Rube Goldbergian airship in there, you've totally got my vote. Thanks for the great images. Very well done.

[chukw]

That's some mighty fine work- cheers!

[plsangel]

great mood and lighting. The only thing that bothers me is the sculpture in the last piece. It fights w/ the woman as the focal point of the piece.

[demeter_luna]

beautiful work, I especialy like the one with the yellow tents

[Pavel Sokov]

these are completely insane

[davi]

completely incredible. I really hope to see more like on the forum. The peghouse picture just screams prefection.

[Isric]

dammit dammit dammit! I knew i went to the wrong damn school!

these are awesome man, you're a tribute to everyone who's come out of there. Hope to see a lot more from you. I'm particularly a fan of the canyon image. Beautiful colors, beautiful location, it's the stuff fantastic images are made of.

[reBirth]

These are quite possibly some of the best environments Ive seen here in a long time..Absolutely gorgeous
Great website as well...Deinate inspiration

Excellent stuff, I am a huge fan of storytelling art. The story in the enviroments rocks.

[dieselseven]
