This image was comissioned by Imagine Publishing for Advanced Photoshop magazine as part of their masterclass series. The brief was to produce a matte painting of a transformer of some kind.

I designed this charater with a hostile desert environment in mind. I imagined him as some form of scout used to living in the wilderness for long periods.]]> Thu, 02 Apr 2009 14:45:23 +0000 http://turps.cgsociety.org/gallery/677633
