  8. *Developer of Eternal Darkness and Too Human.

    I started working at SK as a concept artist

    http://www.siliconknights.com/

    In the art department, Alongside the amazing STUDIO QUBE

    :iconstudioqube:

    My good friends Sip and Yoyo are great guys to hang around with, amazingly kind people who really helped me to feel comfortable in a rather demanding work environment. Interestingly we share a passion for motorsports among many other thing.

    Equally amazing is another one of my colleague Jonathan Standing, Amazing painter & Illustrator. And his British humor is a killing! Very very friendly guy, and very thoughtful. I'm hoping to learn as much as I can from everyone at work.

    It's not easy job, but I'm having loads of fun painting away. I'm helping out with a fair share of work including characters, environments and sometimes mattes. I'm getting a good sense of the studio environment now as I often need to cooperate with the 3d and effect guys. The work area is generally quite cozy. It's a proper studio setting. Plus the coffee machine is elaborately gorgeous, it greets me in the morning with a nice cup of hot milk chocolate (makes my stomach feel awkward afterwards). I hope I could take a picture of the damn thing.

    It's quite a drive from there and back every day, almost 100km each way, forcing me to refuel once every 3 days. Only good side is that I drive a hard roof convert so when summer actually hits I’ll be able to enjoy the sun a bit more than the usual home dwelling self.

  9. Workshop Tutorial Image

    Imagine FX Issue 56.

    Creating an Atmospheric Environment

    "Learn how to establish mood early in the painting, and using concept art techniques to refine the painting into a believable world, with Frank Hong"

    "I will be taking you through the creation of this painting step-by-step, explaining both technical and artistic decisions I make along the way. I will develop a dark atmospheric feeling for the painting very early in the production, and bring it to life with realistic rendering techniques. Many of these techniques are used daily in both professional concept art and matte-painting, and are essential tool sets to grasp. By utilizing the full arsenal of Photoshop you will greatly improve production time."

    "Atmosphere development is the main focus of this workshop, so I’ll be taking quite a bit of time walking you through some of the concepts behind it. It’s important to know the feeling you want the viewers to get when they look at your painting, and carry that through to the finishing strokes. If the mood is correctly established, you’ll have more liberties with designs and layouts without changing the initial concepts."

    Check out the Issue 56 for details. [link]

About Me
About Me
My Photo
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
I’m a freelance artist based in Toronto, Canada. My inspirations come from a wide range of games that I grew up with; I was always fascinated by the depth of visual designs in many of these games. I invest my free time on practicing concept art and matte paintings, studying from the master artists like Dylan Cole, Barontieri, Jaime Jones and many other amazing artists in the industry. I’m now working professionally on a variety of projects from different game developments and feature film productions.
