Hi everybody! Here goes my fan art (model) Brad Pitt (Mickey) from the movie Snatch (directed by Guy Ritchie) and its little progress. OK, let’s get started!

Tattoo Paint
First of all I drew it on the paper. I decided for drawing by a pencil due to the fact that it looks more real than digital painting. All tattoos are taken from the original film character and I tried to keep an old school tattoo style.

This video is designed for the presentation of character. I created a short storyboard. Music, which I mixed from few samples, makes a good and whole impression. I was inspired by a film character. I tried to examine my skills, which I am going to use in a near future for creation of animated comics.

Judges comments: Great Piece! Very nice attention to detail across the entire character through both the modeling and texturing phase. The anatomy and pose look great! The facial expression is very well done and there is a nice sense of tension and aggression. – Peter Zoppi
Concept Art

Short story for character All for Revenge. Through this story I can introduce my next character for whom I created a storyboard and composed music from few samples. This story is formed by several pictures and its making of gave me an opportunity to improve my drawing and creation of storyboards.

Few corrected mistakes and new coloring.
More images you can find on my website.

I was inspired by MK vs DC art, but the final character was creating according to myself, my fantasy.

Model

Flash is my favourite character. I have start working on it in the past, but it remains unfinished and only few months ago I get back to it and finished it. If I have doing this character once again right now, I should try to improve his anatomy, but still keep his comics’ character in the real design. Also in this case, as well as in the previous characters, I made a short storyboard with accompanied music.
