Other images of Toronto cityscape photography by myself (Frank Hong)

one of the first matte paintings in my gallery. started with combining images selectively to create the basic setting and light direction, and sketched in the cityscape before the actual detailed painting. the theme of the image is based on one all time classic pc game, "Command and Conquer" and it's famous Tiberium crystals.

hope you like this one, please leave comments and critiques.

while digital tools remains the most boring and pointless class ever, it's still nice to use that time and painting something instead of listening to bullshit. this piece was done in class, an hour and a half..

back in business for some concept art works, this one is a rendered pirate ship concept. i went for a mechanical, futuristic and yet some what believable design. spontaneous in production, no reference or line art used, straight up colors. hope you like this one
