Inktober2016

A little selection of some of the most successful Inktobers from this 2016 year. Taking the awesome chance to explore ink pen and brushes, I took it and explored the style of some of my favorite ink character designers, Hans Ketchum and Searle and reinvented some of my favourite characters in their styles. An amazing exercise!!! :D

Post apocalyptic city matte painting progress

Hi there!!!! I would like to share the process of my last piece, a post apocalyptic city shot, trying to get more realistic, further from my usual super stylized way of designing and more VFX-ish and closer to the matte painting realm.

This has been a funny one, started as you can see with a tiny sketch in the corner of my notebook, you can even see the notebook horizontal lines. I saw some potential in the composition so I decided to take it further in a super rough tonal sketch until the value structure was working. Then start finessing and photobasing to bring the detail. I had a little bit of art directing from my friend Lorenzo Tosi, which made an awesome improvement and then to the final!!! Hope you guys like it!!! I have learnt tons! :D :D
