Matte painting is a pretty cool technique if you need concept art quick and fast. I tried a few different brushes with this one. I'm going to start making my own brushes to speed things up.
Matte painting is pretty fun. I design this ship last year I finally got to use it!!! I'm going to try a few more so I can get my matte painting skills up!!!!
I was looking at some golden books and was inspired!!! I guess this years Christmas card is done now!!! I really enjoy working in this style. It was about time I did a story piece. Enjoy suckas!!!
Here's another one!!! I hope one day I'll be able to walk down the aisle and say I designed that!!! Last year I got a note that my work was too flat. So now I'm making sure my designs have more form.
Here's one of the guns that I designed. I'm sure you can tell who its suppose to be for. Colored in photoshop.... no its not a CG model. I might model it in CG though. I'll be coloring a few more.
I just wrapped up a movie as the Production Designer. I was the Art Director on The Casagrandes Movie at Nickelodeon. I was a Visual Development Artist on the feature Book of Life. I've worked on Rocko the movie, Uncle Grandpa, Pig Goat Banana Cricket, Apple and Onion, Loud House and few other shows. I'm a CalArts graduate. Here are some recent examples of my work. If you have any freelance work send it my way!!! Thanks for looking! artofmiguel@gmail.com
