seriously incredible stuff, and really haunting. I love the 3d blocks and the overall atmosphere is stunning.

OK, so... you're a real hardcore O.O and already with a trajectory.

I'm having a look at your website, right now. It's nice of you, to let
anyone see some of the intermediate stages of such a complex and
refined work; is quite inspiring and actually really useful to take a look
on your process (even n00bs like me may learn a couple of things, that
way). I've never been a gamer, really, but if this comes for PC I'm really
considering, too, taking a look at it just to have a taste of your work in
action.

Have an excelent day.

Amazing work! How long did it take to create each of them?

Hey love the work . . . You should try posting a step by step of a new project or something, I think that would be pretty cool for us to see how you work. Peace ! ! ! ! !

Hey Pacal,

Really nice work. My favorites are the room with the desk chair and wall of maps and artifacts, and the street with the no parking sign. The photo collage and painting are is the most seamless in those. A few small critiques I would have

1. The reflective glints you have are a little too numerous in some images. Realistically they should only appear on very shiny objects and at angles of reflection (which is usually vertically and horizontally from the light source)... be tossing realism to the curb I still think there are so many like in the cube room images... that they distract from the main image.

2. The compositions in some are a little busy or centered. Like the first subway image... (great image!) but it's smack dab in the center taking away some of the tension from the idea that this thing is hanging there! If you haven't seen Edgar Payne's Book Composition of Outdoor Painting, check it out!

3. Lastly Color! You're values are great and you've got drama and moodyness nailed down but some of these forest images could benefit from some color... I know alone in the dark is the name of the game... LITERALLY

and that it's supposed to be dark, but I think you could have a dusk sky... bright red clouds catching the setting sun and a deep blue sky... keeping the mood but adding some color and a nice cool ambient blue filtering in through the trees

Also your personal figure painting and drawing are outstanding! nice work.

Would love to see a bit of the work flow, this is very nice illustration. Like it has been said, how much is photo ref and how much paint/3d...

Very nice work!!!

HOLY....... Mac & Cheese..... This is Freakin Awesome.....

**henrytoy** · July 8th, 2010, 10:27 AM

Do not fit doubt that is one gentle I work (exelente), it is not important if one sees so digital, on the contrary the works do not tire on having seen them, motivate enough to the point of the inspiration!!
As we say in my country: BUEN BRETE PURA VIDA!! :p

Never was a fan of alone in the dark, thought it was just another resident evil spinoff, but now...I may just try a copy. I mean if it looks that good it may be a shot of adrenaline to the series.

The first few Alone in the Dark's definately came out quite a few years before the Resident Evil series
