Digital Image Techniques Assignment - Dutch and Flemish still life

This piece of work I have done is based on the work of Dutch still-life artist – Pieter Claesz, more specifically the “Still-Life with Oysters” (figure.2)


In terms of colours and tones, due to the insufficient control I have over the colouring of each individual object in the live-action plate, I haven’t forced the colour palette to be exactly like the original, instead I focused on maintaining the distribution of tones to make sure that an analogous mood could be translated across from the original to my piece.


To accentuate the impression of emptiness intended in the original painting, I have taken advantage of digital video editing and camera tracking to allow my work to exist in a 3-Dimensional space.

[EXPERIMENTAL] Monday Fun with Mudbox

Today, I got a chance to try out the sculpting feature of Autodesk Mudbox as illustrator Neil Roberts came in for a guest lecture on using the software and working pipelines etc. This is what I did with the human base model we were given:

Meet Mister Punk Mohawk Guy Whatever

Sculpting in Mudbox turned out to be incredibly fun, I might try to do a few more human facial expressions in the future :)

2011 - 365 Project: Best Of (pt.2)

During 2010 and 2011, I have participated in a project / online community named 365 Project, the spirit of the project is to take a picture each day for an entire year to build a photo diary, so you can train yourself to become more observant to the things you do and your surroundings. In my case, since I am doing most of mine using CG, this gives me a chance to test and play around with different types of compositions.
