Cover for Midnight, Fury of Shadow board game by Fantasy Flight Games. I made a rough sketche ( http://www.andersfiner.com/cmine/albums/illustrations/sketches/midnightrough.jpg ) and after approval, a greyscale sketch ( http://www.andersfiner.com/cmine/albums/illustrations/sketches/Midnight_roughsketch.jpg ). I then colored it with multiply layers in photoshop. Feel free to comment]]> Sat, 29 Dec 2007 16:37:09 +0000 http://finer.cgsociety.org/gallery/577771

A matte painting for the CG movie "Free Jimmy". The original plate consists of the road, telephone poles and a moving car.
The style of the movie is not photoreal but stylized, so it is not supposed to look photoreal. The painting was created in Adobe photoshop, with layers separating background, foreground and layer with moving clouds.]]> Sat, 29 Dec 2007 16:23:45 +0000 http://finer.cgsociety.org/gallery/577765

This is a "teaser" poster for the game "The Secret World" by FunCom. It was sketched in greyscale in photoshop and then colored with multiply layers. References was used loosely. It was fun doing a complete illustration as a break from doing concepts, which there is no time to render like this.

This is the cover for Arkham Horror for Fantasy Flight Games. Sketched on paper, scanned and painted in Adobe Photoshop. The figures looks a bit pasted in because I painted them separately in different files :( never gonna happen again. Photo references were used for figures, myself for the male figures(powerdrill used as a placeholder for the tommygun ). The background was planned as a city scene at first but I had to change it to a country and woods scene in the middle of the project.
Critique is welcomed ]]> Sat, 29 Dec 2007 14:56:29 +0000
