Two watercolors that had been pending upload .. No uploads for over 6 months ! Lot of things been going on. We won an Oscar for our work on Life of pi ! Yippeeee..

Completed work on RIPD and Percy Jackson. Check out the trailer for Percy Jackson here.

Vintage Camera

Five months in-the-making, my Vintage Camera is finally done. Modeled, Textured, Lit and Composited using Blender. Rendered using Cycles.

Clouds

Testing clouds in Blender for another personal project. Not really impressed by Blender's cloud generator. Still gives a decent output. Rendered and composited in Blender.

Life of Pi

I was excited today as the first trailer of 'Life of Pi' came up on you tube. I worked on this movie for over 6 months, the hardest I have ever worked in my life. It was a great challenge for my studio to deliver computer generated imagery composited over live action footage. Waiting for the movie to hit theatres. People who have read the book would be excited to see the story on the silver screen.

Lost in Cybertron

After a long time here is a concept art work.
Imagine getting lost on Cybertron and being greeted by these huge alien robots.

Vintage Camera

 

A TLR camera modelled in Blender.. My love for vintage artifacts inspired me to create this..Hope to texture and light it soon..

KnightBot

After a long time here is a concept art.. A knightbot.. A reincarnation of the dauntless knights in a robot form..

A new home

Did this concept long back when I was about to shift to my new house ..Never got time to finish it.
So here it is..

Numaish 2012

 

Happy new year everyone ! Can't believe one year has passed.. I still remember posting pictures of last year's Numaish, an exhibition held here.. I went to the exhibition the past weekend with my friends and did a lot of photography.. Thanks to Chase Jarvis for inspiring me that the best camera in the world is the one that I have !

The ant

 

Life has been very hectic through the last one month.. No time to pause and think..Work is driving me crazy..I had been working like an ant  ..Haven't done any artwork in a long time.. This weekend I decided I should model something..Here it is.. an ant !

The Suzanne memorial

 

Tried my hand at texture painting today.. This feature seems to be very promising..

Cycles test render

 

Work has been so hectic during the last one month that I found time just to relax,after coming home..Haven't done any art work ( That makes me feel guilty )..Anyways did some test render using Cycles..

As the apple weeps

 

This art was inspired by the sudden demise of Steve Jobs..He is one of those great personalities whom I always admire.. I am always inspired when I listen to his Stanford University Graduation commencement speech..Check it out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UF8uR6Z6KLc

The boot

Here is a WIP of a boot model that I have been working on for a long time..Hope to move on to texturing soon.. Gonna give it a worn out look..

Pencil Jammers

During the last two weekends, I have been doing outdoor sketching along with other art enthusiasts as a part of Pencil Jammers, an online art community.. We met at shilparamam, HITEC city, hyderabad.. Capturing reality as strokes and splashes of colors was a nice experience..

Watercolor and acrylic

Paintings I did two weeks back..The above one was done using acrylic glazed using watercolor..The bottom one is watercolor on handmade paper..I love the texture.. I'm so bad at painting..I gotta go a long way in perfecting my strokes..

 

 

 

 

Ms.Milly

 

Meet Ms.Milly, the charming millipede.. Truth be told, I have an aversion for these creepy crawly insects..

Out in the rain

 

It's raining here in hyderabad :) I got drenched in the rain couple of times.. This idea came to my mind on one such occasion..

Frozen time - 'completed'

 

Finally, I am done with this render..For once I have completed a work that i started :)  I have always loved antiques..Making one was really exciting..

Frozen time

 

First attempt at texturing.. Had a hard time doing the glass.. I am unable to figure out a way to get the shadow cast on the dial..Still working on this..

Johnny's new friend

 

Johnny's math teacher beat him badly yesterday..Look whom he is taking to school today !

Coffee cup

 

This is the very first model i created using blender.. It's been waiting for months to be rendered..Unfortunately it's still a WIP.. I need to do a lot of texturing and adjust the lighting as well..Everything from modelling to compositing was done using Blender..

Venice

 

Completed a digital painting after a very long time.. Used a reference to paint this..Venice is a lovely place to be..Its on my places-to-visit-before-i-die list...

Open source sculpting

 

 Trying my hand at sculpting using Blender..The sculpting system is not very stable..It is still under development but it sure is pretty good and I believe it will match up to other commercial packages in the market, in the near future..

Avril Lavigne

 

It's been a long weekend..I've been trying my hand at lot of stuff but not got anything finished yet..So I thought I should try some comic work.. Here is a caricature of Avril Lavigne :) i love her hair ;P

The Volcano

 

Finally I could do one concept :) I have made it in a very painterly style..That's how i like it..

Comic Concepts

Lately I've been trying concept art, inspired by the great Feng Zhu...Every day I start with a Sci-fi concept and end up creating one of these characters :P

Bullbot

 

These days I am on a bot-ifying spree, making an autobot out of everything I come across..Today a bull jumped in front of me as I was crossing the road and tonight he's a Bullbot !

Dinobot concept

 

 I am back to my blog with an art work after a very long time..

Abandoned

Found this auto rickshaw on the way home..Clicked it for a photography challenge on the theme 'Abandoned'..
