Generators - Process

I thought I'd post some process shots of one of my recent portfolio pieces, since I managed to streamline a few things during this one that might be of interest.

First and foremost was setting things up in Google Sketchup, which enabled me to build some simple shapes to work off of, and place a camera.

Next was cutting out each of my respective grounds (sky, background, each of the generator towers and foreground) so that I could use them as masks.

The rest was just painting as I normally do, although with a... subtler palette than my normal eye-popping rainbow hues...

With one sinking ship comes a single little life raft... or something....

Opening this one up with an image I created as logo/identity, shortly after the closure of EA Montreal. 

It could be that this was a not-so-subtle prod from my subconsciousness about my current situation--but I rather think I just like krakens and pirate ships...
