Description
Heya,I can finally post this one!
It's one of 4 paintings that I did for a client from the US. He is an actor named Matthew Ewald and has become a very close friend.
My work on this project began almost 2 years ago! Not many pieces were created during this time, but some of the most time-consuming ones I ever did! It's been sheer fun up to this day.
So far, it's a project in developement, a Sci-Fi/Horror saga called 'The Lost Landers' all written by Matthew.
This painting depicts a key confrontation scene in this tale.
It was meant to resemble New York, I checked some reference to get it all right. Everything except for the ship was painted in PS 7.
Inititally, the ship had a different design but was changed in the process for different reasons.
The new ship design, an alien tech-modified, highly-maneuverable Space Shuttle with the catchy name 'Astronautica' was modelled and rendered before I placed it into the scene.
Also, you should know that this painting is pretty old already. Any resemblance to Cloverfield is coincidental because that film wasn't even released by the time this was done!
So, I hope you enjoy!
Another painting will follow!

This is nothing like cloverfield, this is ten times better, an inter dimensional dragon appears in a futuristic NY, and a new futuristic jet appears to fight it, thas alot better. Or at least thas what I get from this painting, ooh and does this actor, or you plan to go anywhere with this story

Awesomeness, awesomeness on wheels
My only complain would be little lac of contrast and color saturation, but then again I bet it could be blamed on that cheap-ass monitor I'm using at work
Shame you not doing more of those complex images :/

yah, I know. Just too damn tedious I guess. Still prefer the speedier works, although I am into doing more finished stuff lately. Kinda forcing myself Thanks, mate!

I love the way in which you (the viewer) can't be sure wheter that dragon is a living thing or a machine of a sort

epic.
I find all the Cloverfield comments rather amusing, especially since you pointed out clearly that you started before that movie was out in theaters ^^

Hideyoshi In reply to Neumatic [2008-06-12 21:01:03 +0000 UTC]
whow, haha, actually it is meant to have 4 legs, the rear ones kinda being hidden by it's body and the city, debris...
I think I should at least have tried to put those in, haha. Well, nevermind, 2 legged dragon, you don't have that all the time
This is actually independent of Galidor, a completely original story written by Matthew! But it was intended to be a sequel to Galidor first, that's true...

Awesome image! I love the sense of drama and epic stature that you portray in it! The creature's interaction with the city seems a bit vague, though: it feels like it's more hovering over the city in some parts, but in the city in others.... For example, there's debris around the claws, but the buildings look mostly okay... Overall, though, it makes me want to know more about what's going on: good job!

thanks for the crit! I can agree with you, yeah! Some more debris would have worked fine I think!
