School - The Wrecked Odyssey - Final

And it's finished. About time, don't you think? On to the rest of the whole story!

School - Ruins of what was - Wrecked Odyssey

Another Work-In-Progress! Well I added the ripped sails beside the ship, defined more of the wooden hull and now I'm perfecting it. After that the beach follows and the background needs refining!

That's all folks!

School - Ruins of what was - Wrecked Odyssey

A work in progress of the ship so far. Cough cough!

School - The Ruins Composition

Yes, it's going to be an odyssey! And for now.. the composition sketches!

School - "De ruine van wat was"

Well a little translating here: "The ruin of what has been". This is my third assignment, and I've started sketching to let loose of some ideas. So here goes!

I'll clarify what everything should represent.
Upper-left: An ancient dinosaur has been revealed by a river bed that has dried up. However due to erosion half of his skeleton has "melted" into the rock.
Upper-Right: Two rotten apples. I had an idea to make a story-board like effect to show the process of these "ruins".
Lower-left: An old watermill which has been abandoned and forgotten. Located at the edge of a forest/cliff/river.
Lower-right: Old ruin located in Combodja. Those ancient vietnamese ruins of legends fascinate me.


Well I nearly made my decision when I continued sketching and I stumbled upon these designs:

The ship of Odysseus, which has crashed upon the waves in a storm of Poseidon.
While the original concept was to make a ruin for a certain theme park, this would be a great combo. A ruin which really caught my eye and at the same time it's capable to be put in a theme park (as an eye catcher or maybe as a sort of ghost ship attraction?) Here we go!

School - Matte Painting 02 - Sinkhole

My second but my first finished Matte Painting! Here I portrayed Rotterdam being tortured by a sinkhole. It's even big enough to create a second sinkhole to the left. Cars are trying to hurry out of Rotterdam by the only road that has not yet collapsed.

 And here are the resource photo's I've used to construct the whole image. Oh the smoke? I've used brushes.
