Enjoying the View

This is my first digital painting ever, and I did it with MOUSE!!! It was very hard, but after some time I got familiar with how to move the mouse etc. So, I know it looks kinda crappy when you look at the high-res, but watch it as a whole, I couldn't make it much detailed. Hope you like it! =)

Cold October

This was a challenge, as I have no drawing pad, so as a lefty, I drew it with the mouse & my right hand. Really makes me appreciate pencils. :) This scene is totally from my head. there are no references.

Somwhere, in Universe, an advanced civilization live a message on a planet where life is just beggining... LOL, actually I had in mind ”2001- A Space Odysey” , my all time fav SF movie. If you didnt see it i cant explain what is the golden box on the ground. 3 DS Max, render with Men...

Sky view

This was done using MAYA, Z brush and then VUE for the final render, it is the first time I have used Vue and I was pretty impressed with the results achieved with very simple settings. I hope you like it.

Solar Eclipse

I used Vue 7 for 'modeling' (I'd call it 'setting up' cause, even tho I'm able to make sth like this in 3ds Max, this is way to simple, just seting up some parameters.... There I admit it =P). Some adjustments made in 3ds Max and PS (nothing forbidden by the rules). Hope you like it. =)
