Well i am gonna try to hit the ground running this year and work into new areas and further my skills. If you have critique don't be afraid to post it because it helps me become better. I would like to thank you for stopping in and taking time to check out my artwork.

Here is my new abstract made by mashing up gradients and blendmodes. Used a bit of my planet texture and new improved marble texture in this.

Here is my latest work. I have been experimenting on making rock textures. I call this image The artifact

Here is a spacescape that i made it is called alpha centari. Starfield background was made using a tut that goonfella steered me to. I am still working out how to directly translate it seeing as its a photoshop tut and sometimes things are hard to translate.

I know i am late to the show on sargon's tut but i saw it and decided that i would try it out and see what i could do with it.

Here is my latest abstract. I am in bit of a pdn flurry lately lol!

old works | Show

When i get the time i may end up posting more work back up here but i felt that my gallery needed streamlining so i just deleted all of my art on here. Remember the majority of my art is on my da.
Also if you would like some insight on how i do what i do, i have most of my pdn's saved. Also if you want to know how i achieved a certain effect feel free to ask because i feel that sharing techinques helps everyone further their artistic abilities.
I hope that my art brings you some degree of pleasure.
enjoy,
chad

Very nice! I like the space ball - or is it a portal to another dimension?

Good first image. A small C&C...the two pillars in near the end of the checkerboard looks like they're about to fall off. I would bring forward a little bit so they appear to be on a stable footing. Good job with the distortion, I would probably be more inclined to add something to make it look like it is distorting the background so you know something is up.

pillars need shadow.

I have been so busy that i forgot to update my gallery on here lol. Working 5 and 6 nights a week will get to you lol(especially if they are 11 hour days). But i thought I would put up three new pieces that i really enjoy.

I really like that grass orb, something really eye-candyish about it.
Could also be a good starting point for some fireworks ?

Remember ... all work and no play made Chad a tired boy :wink:

The road into darkness is wicked cool. I like how it looks like thatching on the sides.

Nice work Chad, like the glow effect in the Grass Orb

thanks i am currently working on a shield. It's not very realistic because that's not my thing lol. But nemo gave me inspiration with the helm he did so i decided that a shield would be awesome.

Here is the sheild so far. I went with a mythical approach instead of realistic....

HELEN · **Posted:** Sun Sep 20, 2009 2:56 pm

The shield is really nice; it definitely looks like the older time-type shield. The orb wallpaper is really cool, too! I love your work!

thank you helen it really means alot coming from an artist like you. I love your work as well so flawless and beautiful all the time.

Great work. The shield is awesome. I like the pillars one too. As mentioned above, the pillars do need some more work & the green orb would work in the scene too. Something odd about the centre images. Not sure what, maybe needs shadows on the overlapping orbs? Some really great elements such as the background, the texture on the pillars & checkerboard. Looking forward to seeing more as you get time, of course!

Nice work on the shield. I really like the shape, the colours and look forward to when you incorporate into another image.
you've reminded me I've got a file of shields, somewhere but I've lost the disc

Nice to see how much you're improving mate :wink:
