I did this for a workshop feature in ImagineFX. (Issue #42, check it out!) On shelves now so I can finally post this... hope you like. Feedback welcome, several evenings, Photoshop.]]> Mon, 06 Apr 2009 13:35:20 +0000 http://mikebot.cgsociety.org/gallery/743687

Long time no post! This is some concept art commissioned for a project by doublesix games. I wanted to show a visually exciting space battle in the style of Homeworld or Battlestar. Photoshop, a couple evenings. Hope you like it! Thoughts & crits welcome.]]> Thu, 19 Mar 2009 11:21:33 +0000 http://mikebot.cgsociety.org/gallery/567413

Just a kinda abstract environment concept, a long evening in Photoshop. Tried not to get caught up in being too specific with stuff... but maybe too abstract? Critique welcome on anything!

An environment study I did to try to do a better job describing depth & space. I also wanted to push a different pallette than I'm used to working with, and I'm pretty happy with the way the colors turned out! ~6-7 hours, Photoshop. As always thoughts & crits greatly appreciated.]]> Fri, 09 Mar 2007 06:19:41 +0000 http://mikebot.cgsociety.org/gallery/468742

Speedpainting for a 3dtotal challenge (topic = dogfight) that I wound up putting some time into. Had a really fun time with this one. ~5-6 hours, Photoshop. As always, would love to hear any thoughts/crits you may have.]]> Wed, 28 Feb 2007 13:20:15 +0000 http://mikebot.cgsociety.org/gallery/466084

A warrior of the wastes. Did this in a couple hours in Photoshop, mostly just to experiment and try to loosen up my brushwork. I think it went okay, though the piece as a whole is starting to feel rather flat to me. Would love any thoughts / critique.]]> Wed, 21 Feb 2007 06:58:04 +0000 http://mikebot.cgsociety.org/gallery/470920

I'm excited for Flagship's upcoming Hellgate London, and thought I'd do some fanart. : ) Decided not to polish this up any further, I'm really trying to streamline my workflow & not waste time rat-holing on details, even if it might make for a better piece. Hope you like! As always crit & comments really appreciated.]]> Tue, 06 Mar 2007 02:24:20 +0000 http://mikebot.cgsociety.org/gallery/474664

A street scene I did to practice perspective and because I wanted to paint a city environment. I think I'm happy with the sense of speed and the way the colors turned out. Thoughts & crits always appreciated! ]]> Fri, 16 Mar 2007 02:12:28 +0000 http://mikebot.cgsociety.org/gallery/479651

I wanted to do something different from my usual so this is what resulted : ) Inspired by browsing through Goro Fujita's amazing work. Hope you like! all crits welcome. Two afternoons in Photoshop.]]> Thu, 29 Mar 2007 02:37:09 +0000 http://mikebot.cgsociety.org/gallery/563111

Inspired by the awesome steampunk star wars stuff of course.

long afternoon in photohsop... first painting I've done in forever be gentle!]]> Mon, 19 Nov 2007 08:18:39 +0000 http://mikebot.cgsociety.org/gallery/475056

This is some concept art I did a few months ago for a friend's short film. Looking back at it I kinda like it and thought I'd gallery-ize it. A few hours Photoshop. (And painted over the Incredibles Poster.) Hope you like!]]> Sat, 17 Mar 2007 07:32:27 +0000 http://mikebot.cgsociety.org/gallery/407755

Another quick entry into the Blizzard art contest, although it doesn't really scream Starcraft. This is the crashed colony ship Nagglfar on Tarsonis, where the Terrans first began to settle in their new galaxy. I thought it'd be cool to design a giant mothership beached in the sand. So... here it is.

~4-5 hours, Photoshop CS2]]> Thu, 21 Sep 2006 03:09:14 +0000 http://mikebot.cgsociety.org/gallery/465517

An environment concept from a few months ago that I just touched up real quick. Experimenting with perspective and brushwork.]]> Mon, 19 Feb 2007 22:11:38 +0000
