here is my last piece dedicated to blame! by tsutomu nihei. this time I tried to capture a different point of view... I put the camera right in the head of sakan the villain, wounded on the ground. she he is a cyborg so her sight is now disturbed and we can hardly see killy and domochevsky

this was done for another competition on epic's gears of war.
Again, I won for the second time and I went there to epic headquarter in north carolina...wow, such an amazing place an so many talentuos peoples there...
the goal here was to create some kind of creature to put on the villain side. so I designed this sort of ork-like locust held captive by several chains. however his fury is so great that no one can control him to long...
then when I finally got the game I discovered that epic had already designd a locust like this, the femal one, the berserk!
So this could mean that my idea wad good in the end

this was one of my first tries with painter years!
this warrior is really grotesque whit his large body and small head! Also the aircut seams silly... like a flame!

Colouring this was really funny ,

this demon was done some years ago to be examined at the end of the comic course I've done in rome. I' still like for the most part: the contrast betwen broown flesh and blue wings and tails is the best effect! I try to had some kind of vivid contrasts that great artists like brom, bisley and frazzetta use to create dinamic and lifelike piece of real art!

...and yes...that was my super-mega-muscle-guy period!!!

This was a try to find the style to make a short story of mine. I was quite satisfied of the results with the black ink. I really appreciate these kind of styles which are differentlty interpretated by great artist like miller, mignola, bisley, breccia, toppi and so on
obviously I'm not sayng I'm just good as one of them ...mybe in the future!

this warrior was inspired to the ones of the warhammer 40k universe... I love that sci-fi gothic taste, that heavy armour and dirty bloody world. I just decided to insert a real angel into one of that armour so we can now have a real blood angel!

... she doesn't need presentation I think! Sadako shocked many peoples all over the world in both her reales original( better) and remaked ones on cinemas.

I hope to have cought the sick atmosphere the movies gave with this image

...yes again! killy from blame! of tsutomu nihei... I love the manga! the setting is astonishing and the visual is too explosive, agrressive and dynamic! and sure... no silly speech in this sci-fi/horror advventure... you (killy) are alone and and you have have a job to do...
however..give it a try on the web at lest, you won't regret!

for this I uses acrylics and ecoline and a little be of tuning for contrast in photoshop.

this one was my entrie for the master and servant competition here at cgtalk on 2005. so there's a tread with all the information and milestones about the making of.
with this piece I was very happy about the tree and the dead lord engraved into it, also the light effects was quite a good achievement for my skills in that period.
however as the the time has passed I've noticeed also the problems about this work... the composition mainly: the tree on the back and the men on the front seems to be right on the same plane! probably I've done a bad use of lights and shadows here making all flats instead of separing planes!

However I still see this as one of my best 2d work for now or one of my most favourite

Mozart the character here painted his inspired by the one presented in the rpg board game ''fading sun''. the intention was to create a woman who appeared like a boy in her somatic marks and jestures...
I think I succeded in figuring out this masculinity 'couse usually the people I show this work ask me: '' who is thi GUY?''...

however when I look at this piece I can still enjoy the light effects I had put on the metal surfaceces on the tank on the back, on the metal boxes... and I still find poor the coat over the tank :(.]]> Wed, 05 Sep 2007 15:33:16 +0000 http://phoboalien.cgsociety.org/gallery/536587

This piece was inspiered by the work of tsutomu nihei, Blame!, a Cyber-punk/ horror manga.
I decided to depict Killy waiting right in the middle of nowhere, just with endless time to wait.
the search for the pure human genomas is his mission...
the infinite megastucture is his dungeon...

this work was done with acrilics on paper, just a little bit of tuning in contrast on photoshop.

c&c are welcome

Hello again people,
I love capcom games and especially the street fighter's ones! so I decided to do a pose of ryu's best rival\friend, ken master. He is my favourite standar character, easy to play and great combo

This was done during one of my first try with painter and then with an addiction of a filter or two in photoshop...maybe it was brush strokes...I don't remember very well.
I hope u like it,
c&c as usually if u wish,
thanks stefano]]> Tue, 04 Sep 2007 20:06:39 +0000 http://phoboalien.cgsociety.org/gallery/536288

Hi everyone, I'm tryng to build a portfolio so lets begin

This one was done for a competition to win a cover for my xbox360 based on the famous gears of war game.
Surprisingly I won! and I got my faceplate...mybe I was the only contendant from my country eh eh.

However In this work I wanted to recreate a sense of savage and a bit of gore... I also invented that strange weapon marcus wears on his arm, a sort of glow covered with rotatint gers which can slaughter any locust!
...yes very gory I think...
However c&c are welcome and more of my past work will be here soon, I hope U'll enjoy them
