ok hereŽs a painting i came up with after asking you people for ideas and suggestions in my journal at Deviant Art

~OniricPlayground suggested a painting about kids playing in an abandoned mall.. well .. i left the kids out.. maybe iŽll add them sometime later.. but for now i wanna call this finished because i am tired of it.

comments welcome ! ]]> Thu, 24 Sep 2009 10:31:24 +0000 http://raybender.cgsociety.org/gallery/808757

this is a detailed version of the sketch i posted two days ago in my blog.

i am not sure about the hair, tend to hate it and like it at the same time. since i wanna do more different paintings during my free time i leave that like it is and call it finished.

i spent around 2 days on it.]]> Sun, 20 Sep 2009 06:40:16 +0000 http://raybender.cgsociety.org/gallery/804314

i did this Speedpainting as a Tutorial for ImagineFX Magazine (October Issue 48).

the tutorial shows my process of creating an urban futuristic environment from scratch to final speedpaint. its completely done with photoshop without any fancy brushes...]]> Mon, 07 Sep 2009 09:49:02 +0000 http://raybender.cgsociety.org/gallery/786174

the base of this speedpaint was for a Tutorial i made for 2dartist magazines August Issue... i took it and painted some stuff over it to make it what it looks like now..

completely done in Pshop with some help of google Sketchup for base geometry (this was part of the tutorial)

i thought i post more rough Concept Work to my Portfolio. this was done in 3 hours with Photoshop.

i agree with you if you think the title is strange ]]> Wed, 01 Jul 2009 05:56:50 +0000 http://raybender.cgsociety.org/gallery/719321

this is a personal project i did the last days.. all in all i invested around 20 hours from Thumb to final.. all done in pshop in 5K resolution.

Please comment.. really wanna hear how you think about it.. and Yeah.. i heard already that it looks like the hunter killer from T3.. havnt seen this movie so far, but obviously the design is not that original.. haha ]]> Fri, 16 Jan 2009 05:27:01 +0000 http://raybender.cgsociety.org/gallery/761041

personal Work.. i found an old sketch of an Hangar Interior and tried to make something out of it.. Tell me your opinions..

i need to practice to paint more loose.. i am always ending up too detailed with my personal work and then it takes too long too finish and i am loosing interest and then i am rushing to an end.. lol.. i think you can see that..]]> Thu, 07 May 2009 10:39:35 +0000 http://raybender.cgsociety.org/gallery/725687

this is my latest painting. it took me 36 to 40 hours to do at 6 K resolution. its NY like i imagine it to look in the year 1900 after being abandoned suddenly.]]> Mon, 02 Feb 2009 11:31:20 +0000 http://raybender.cgsociety.org/gallery/716785

this is my entry for the Steampunk Challenge.. Hope we are allowed to show the finals here before challenge is over ? !

the image is about a giant machine octopus which is attacking freighters and civil cruisers.
Nobody really knows who is behind the huge machine which is attacking the ships for several months now.
because the government wasn?t able to react fast enough, the shipowners have hired some brave men and modified some old fishing cutters and equiped them with modern weapons to secure their ships. the unknown attacker seems not very impressed though...


its done with photoshop, 10K Wide (yeah i know its big, but this way it was easier to paint the details for me)]]> Sat, 10 Jan 2009 09:39:46 +0000 http://raybender.cgsociety.org/gallery/712191

this is a quick concept for a matte painting im planning to do in the next weeks.. i started it because i needed a break from my steampunk challenge entry...hehe]]> Mon, 29 Dec 2008 06:49:52 +0000 http://raybender.cgsociety.org/gallery/743968

an environment concept for an upcoming project of Blue Tree Whacking. made entirely in Photoshop in about 22 hours.

thanks to my client for allowing me to show it here immediatly after finishing it. ]]> Fri, 20 Mar 2009 04:06:08 +0000 http://raybender.cgsociety.org/gallery/670560

this started as a simple Sketch some weeks ago.. i wasnt happy with the colors, but i liked the image itself so i got back and worked on it during the last five days. since this is the FIRST detailed painting EVER i finished, im kind of proud of it.

Thanks to the nice guys in the 2D WIP Section for all the great help!

please comment!

i dont really know what this should be. i started this painting with a small thumbnail of an island and ended with an strange building and an airship.. theres not really a story behind, or maybe there is a story but i dont it yet :-) please C&C!]]> Tue, 26 Aug 2008 08:56:27 +0000 http://raybender.cgsociety.org/gallery/716529
