I rarely ever get to do humor so I had a really good time while painting this one. We've always talked about aliens living among us... but usually their disguises are a little bit better then this...

"Finally revealed, they wage war on each other,
undivine and imperfect, each god fights another.
The last of the lies burns in the fire's red heat.
As their swords clash, and their powers fail,
the Fall of the Gods is complete."

My interpretation of the final battle for power of the ancient egyptian gods that takes place in an underground tomb or cave, far below where mortals can trend. Taking about 48 hrs, it was created and painted in Photostop. Crits are welcome and I hope you like it!]]> Sat, 04 Nov 2006 22:26:17 +0000 http://pcrawford.cgsociety.org/gallery/602082

This is a tribute to my favorite character in the incredible game "Bioshock"... Sander Cohen!

Here Cohen is shown recording his infamous poem, "The Wild Bunny" into his audio diary. (A heart-stopping moment from the game.)

Only Photoshop used! C&C is always welcome, and thanks for looking! ]]> Fri, 29 Feb 2008 05:09:30 +0000 http://pcrawford.cgsociety.org/gallery/470878

"The Hero Stalker" is a character concept piece created for a website promotion that unfortunately never got to be used. I was experimenting with texturing and lighting techniques I am quite pleased with the results. Any tips would be a great help because I am always looking to improve. Only Photoshop used. C&C is welcome and I hope you like it! ]]> Tue, 06 Mar 2007 00:00:27 +0000 http://pcrawford.cgsociety.org/gallery/416272

Here's something I painted in Photoshop for a few hours. I guess this is how robots will kick back after serving the human overlords in the future. The original concept was a robot DJ, but over time, the idea began to take on a life of its own and evolve by itself. When the smoke cleared, the final image became more of a game of neon Twister. Personally, I like the outcome and I hope you will too. ]]> Thu, 12 Oct 2006 00:47:52 +0000 http://pcrawford.cgsociety.org/gallery/438246

"Beauty Killed The Beast" is a selected moment from one of my favorite films of all time: King Kong. I mixed several elements of the original 1933 version in with Peter Jackson's 2005 version to create an interesting blend. Turning the attention from the obvious focal point (Kong), I decided to take the angle of the standpoint of the airplanes in an attempt to capture the mood of the impending doom. I used only Photoshop for this one and would really appreciate any C&C on the mood or technicals of this piece. Thank you very much for looking and I hope you enjoy! ]]> Thu, 07 Dec 2006 03:08:57 +0000 http://pcrawford.cgsociety.org/gallery/543592

My version of the famous Harley Quinn from Batman. She took about about 4 hours from start to end. Only Photoshop CS3 used. C&C is always welcome! ]]> Tue, 25 Sep 2007 02:40:01 +0000 http://pcrawford.cgsociety.org/gallery/543482

WIP Still working on this one. Basically, a female alien. (woohoo) I'm pretty busy working on a challenge piece but I'll hopefully get back to this soon! Thanks for looking and C&C is welcome!]]> Mon, 24 Sep 2007 21:16:45 +0000 http://pcrawford.cgsociety.org/gallery/474972

Diving into a different state of mind, "Abstract Pachyderm" is a completely different piece for me and I have to admit was actually a lot of fun. For the first time in a few years, I didn't sketch it before starting so it was a surprising adventure from beginning to end. The final was used in a variety of promotional media for a social event and was quite a conversation piece mostly because people were tilting their heads trying to figure out what on earth it was. The moment the title was announced, everyone said "Oooh! I see it now!". Any C&C is welcome and thanks for looking! ]]> Fri, 16 Mar 2007 23:34:20 +0000 http://pcrawford.cgsociety.org/gallery/431253

This piece came from a series I started that pictured aliens in specific periods of American culture. "Rebel Without A Planet" was painted completely in photoshop and took about 6 hrs from concept to finish. Any C&C would be most welcome. ]]> Sun, 19 Nov 2006 01:48:11 +0000 http://pcrawford.cgsociety.org/gallery/498042

My version of what El Chupacabra looks like. This is my very first attempt at using 3D and having taught myself 3ds max about a week ago, I'm quite happy with the results! Hope you enjoy and all critiques are welcome! (Just be gentle... I am brand new at this) ]]> Wed, 16 May 2007 19:38:56 +0000 http://pcrawford.cgsociety.org/gallery/468967

"Forgotten History" was created using only Photoshop and took about two hours from concept to final. Whenever I saw dragons in almost any media, they seemed a tad aggressive, so I thought I would try to think outside the box and make mine almost cuddly looking. Any critique is always welcome! Hope you like!

Ever wonder where dragons went?.... well, so do I!]]> Thu, 01 Mar 2007 01:22:24 +0000 http://pcrawford.cgsociety.org/gallery/439889

Painted in Photoshop, "The Villain Emerges" is a character concept design that I made for my own enjoyment. I tried to give it a styled look and to make the audience question if this character is good or evil by giving it a blank expression. Any C&C is most welcome as I am still looking to improve my concepting. Thanks alot for looking! ]]> Mon, 11 Dec 2006 21:22:11 +0000 http://pcrawford.cgsociety.org/gallery/438542

My portrait of the fearsome Kong. "King of Skull Island" took about 3-4 hrs from start to end. Only Photoshop was used for this one. I did this completely from memory, so I apologize if I missed any special details. Mostly, this is Kong as I saw him when I was a child... meaning he was alot bigger and more scary to me at the time. I tried to capture his more powerful side and give the audience a sense of awe. Any C&C is always welcome! Thanks for looking and I hope you enjoy! ]]> Thu, 07 Dec 2006 21:12:51 +0000 http://pcrawford.cgsociety.org/gallery/430448

This is an illustration of one of my favorite villains of all time, Mr. Victor Fries (Mr. Freeze)! Only Photoshop used for this one. C&C is always welcome. Thanks alot!]]> Thu, 16 Nov 2006 21:08:20 +0000 http://pcrawford.cgsociety.org/gallery/438977

Along time ago, I was commissioned to create reproductions of popular cartoon characters for a fan site. As a young and clueless graphic designer who knew nothing about illustration at the time, I gladly stomped all over copyright laws and took the job. After the dust cleared and after many sleepless nights in Photostop, I came up with this rogues gallery of cartoon villains... and fairies.. and pop divas.. and stuff. I had alot of fun doing and it was the thing that got me interested in computer illustration. I hope you enjoy it as much I enjoyed creating it! Critiques and comments are always welcome.. but please be gentle! ]]> Sat, 09 Dec 2006 02:07:54 +0000 http://pcrawford.cgsociety.org/gallery/427528

The film, "TWIST" is a bizarre story of a science project gone wrong. When asked to design its lead character, I came up with several sketches but this one seemed to jump off the page most when I translated it into Photoshop. However, I am always looking for a chance to refine it. Any thoughts or comments would be very appreciated on this one. ]]> Thu, 09 Nov 2006 19:21:28 +0000 http://pcrawford.cgsociety.org/gallery/426146

My guess as to how aliens keep safe their incoming ships on artic planets when the weather is bad. I used only photoshop for this one.

This is one of my first attempts at landscape/environment concepting, so any C&C would be most welcome! ]]> Tue, 07 Nov 2006 02:16:40 +0000 http://pcrawford.cgsociety.org/gallery/417002

A Photoshop painting of where faces come from. So now you know in case your children ever ask you...

Hope you enjoy!

Also, crits on the atmosphere would be appreciated. I am curious if people see what I am seeing as far as the background.]]> Fri, 13 Oct 2006 18:25:34 +0000 http://pcrawford.cgsociety.org/gallery/415358

This is a piece created & airbrushed completely in Photoshop. It is one of my earlier works but is still one of my favorites. "Secret Desires" was my first attempt at "normal" human facial structure. I hope you enjoy it.]]> Tue, 10 Oct 2006 00:01:16 +0000 http://pcrawford.cgsociety.org/gallery/415880

Once again, just painted in Photoshop. I guess this is a glimpse of what adventurers on other planets look like. Hope you like it!

For the record, he looks an awful lot like my uncle... ]]> Wed, 11 Oct 2006 04:16:22 +0000 http://pcrawford.cgsociety.org/gallery/415881

Painted completely in Photoshop, "The Balance" is a selected moment in the life of an ice monster. (Not particularly the best moment either) It just goes to show that not all things are as mighty as they may seem. Hope you enjoy it!]]> Wed, 11 Oct 2006 04:28:56 +0000
