This is called 'No Stress'. I began with the mushroom, bitter and frustrated by whatever happened to him. Later on I thought a BBQing ant would give a nice contrast, hence the title.
C&C welcome.

This is the result of a multiplayer photoshop session with my friend Toobi (see my network). We basically sit in the same room for a whole night and exchange PS files every hour, so in the early morning 2 finished pieces come out.

This character shall appear in Toobi's graphic novel, probably just a random guest in a tavern or something. This time I actually noticed some kind of competition between us - I am trying to give the characters a friendlier look, while Toobi is going for some fierceness. Obviously because I have kids

Let us know what you think.]]> Tue, 03 Oct 2006 08:45:18 +0000 http://nicooh.cgsociety.org/gallery/352496

I was working on a bigger scene, when one of my test renders inspired me to color and overpaint it. I used Blender to model and rig it, but since I spent half of the time with painting in Photoshop, I submit this as a 2D image.]]> Mon, 01 May 2006 20:36:20 +0000 http://nicooh.cgsociety.org/gallery/346813

This is to celebrate my new Intuos3. I got it for texturing, but I wanted to dust off my painting skills I once had. C&C are very welcome.
