This is the alien chestburster, I made the background less saturated to focus on the creature, I wanted to create a cold or very lonely place. ]]> Wed, 18 Jun 2008 23:03:42 +0000 http://highdarktemplar.cgsociety.org/gallery/635711

This is a chilean eaglet portrait , we don't have a lot of prey birds but this one is very beautiful. I don't paint birds too much but this time I wanted to do something different than my regular paintings. Feathers are really hard to paint.

Hey there !!! This is the ID4 movie alien fanart, this look a bit like a "join the alien army" propaganda hahaha, just coincidence. I really like the design of the alien "bio-mechanical suit", the little guy inside looks too weak so... I didn't paint him.

I just wanted to create a cold atmosphere for this creature and I think that I did it.]]> Thu, 31 Jan 2008 01:15:45 +0000 http://highdarktemplar.cgsociety.org/gallery/583213

I always wanted to paint one of these birds, my favorite one by the way. I tried to create a different atmosphere with the background. Photographic reference used

Hello again, I'm back, well this is a starcraft fanart of protoss race. This character is mine but is based on the main game story.

BACK AGAIN !!!

I tried to do something very... eeww unknown, it's a the surface or another planet, a cold planet... a distant world.

Very personal work (in concept) ot was a bit hard to manage the colors in this case but I think it came out well.]]> Fri, 19 Oct 2007 14:33:12 +0000 http://highdarktemplar.cgsociety.org/gallery/540048

The Tripode from War of the Worlds, in this case I made my own design based on the original. They are marching in the middle of the ocean... searching somethign to destroy or drink. I love the 2005 movie designs so that's why I decided to do it.

This reminds me the sound that this things do... like a tuba

The new genus and species Domeykosaurus chilensis is the first dinosaur described from the north of Chile. It's a small titanosaur of the Late Cretaceous.

I made this based on mininal knowledge on it's skull or any other bone. Hypothetically this animal could look like this.]]> Tue, 10 Jul 2007 05:29:46 +0000 http://highdarktemplar.cgsociety.org/gallery/512927
