Beautiful abstract student piece, will update properly later.

Red River Bay (Gobelins, for Annecy 2010)

Nice work from some of the current Gobelins crop for an Annecy 2010 promo. Is that chalk pastel?

Behold, the iCade!

Retro, spritey, old-school arcade goodness always has a place here! This isn't real... yet. Not unthinkable though, and the related article shows how an April fool's day hoax may not be that unrealistic after all.

Here's the site:

I haven't posted any true graphic design work in a while, so here goes! Animated alphabet by Sofia based Pavel Pavlov, who incidentally has a nice website too.

Morning (Nikolai Stepanovich)

Just cos it made me smile.

Rango trailer (Dreamworks)

Johnny Depp as a lizard in the Mojave desert? Has to be good!

B-Movie competition winners (CG Society Challenge)

The shear range of great ideas have proven this to be one online competition that has really grabbed the attention of a lot of seriously talented individuals. I'm going to take time to look at all of the entries, having a real interest in old B-Movie imagery and classic film posters.

Take your time, there's a lot of great work here.

Salesman Pete and the Amazing Stone, WIP...

This is so good it will make you feel nausious; a student project as polished as just about any fine studio short, one of those rare gems even during this spell of summer rich pickings. Check out the translated production blog here for more info and images.

The posterized colour palette has translated beatifully to the finished render for an almost 2d look. Cracking stuff.

Jonny Kofoed Website

A gorgeously styled ad for Pam's food stuffs tops the bill on this talented chaps updated website. It has a really tactile look to it, all half-tone patterns and illustrutive character design.
