F4:2 and Aerial Perspective

It's been made public on Variety, so i guess its safe to say the Writer's strike has delayed further pre-production on the Justice League movie (i was working on it as a concept artist/illustrator) until later in the year:-(

Artwork wise, here's the Empire magazine cover that i did for Weta last year, for the F4:2 Silver Surfer movie. It was done in a very short timeframe (haw - but aren't they all!) and i was given a very open brief. i provided several different concepts (the surfer in orbit around the Earth, above New York, coming out of a Nebulae in space, and surfing an asteroid field) with different poses in the form of very rough sketches --



-- and this is the one they went for. i painted over a 3d block model which was done before the final look of the 'silver skin' shaders had been completed and approved, so there was alot of painting involved to get this to print quality.



Tutorial wise, i'm not doing anything at the moment for Painter Magazine, but i did do this 'Defining Aerial Perspective' tutorial for ImagineFX magazine (it was out on the stands late last year):



And ImagineFX.com recently asked for contributions to their upcoming Frank Frazetta special issue, so i made a few revisions to this old Conan Frazetta homage and it was accepted. Yah for me, right?



Another Autumn Iga...

Hi Mr. Cox-The Silver Surfer art looks great! I'm a big fan of the Justice League comics. From what you have been told, does it appear likely that the movie will actually pick back up and be filmed this summer?
