  1. Is this a game setting? I would love to play around in this place but I know death would lurk between those two trees:)))
    Beautiful colors and I really like the mushroom looking stairs.

  3. Pure eye candy. Also probes my brain and makes me wonder who lives there, and what that hanging hut is used for. Thanks for posting all this awesome work, Todd!

  4. This painting is incredible, I love the palette. It's nice to see the hi-rez version, not the one that got butchered to 128Xwhatever to fit on the ps2. Great stuff, bro.

  5. This is amazing. I've been pouring over it now for a good 10 minutes. I keep finding new subtle little things going on everywhere. I love the little areas of soft texture in the treebark.

    I love the soft atmostphere of all your paintings. The thing I like about this is that it's like the tree huts all have expressions, and they're all lined up in conversation.

  23. Great setting. It would definately be exciting to have a character move around there. Would I be correct to assume that you use photoshop to paint your pieces? First time I saw them I honestly thought it was pastel :) If it is possible, could you post a few steps in the process of making these? From the linde -drawing to block-in to detailing?

    ReplyDelete
  24. WOW!!! Super terrific paintings!!! I like the way you are capturing the lighting and staging. Beautifully done! I like your characters also, your paintings are very inspiring :)

  54. Hey todd-

    Thanks for having a look at my work. Judging by your comments you obviously have a large following of viewers! Great to see, you've got some really nice stuff. I come from an illustration background and really like looking at concept designers, like yourself. Also is your technique a bit of photoshop or is it with traditional media or a blend of the two?

    ReplyDelete
