What you do?
I do base modeling, texturing and camera animation, camera projection, which helps a lot for creating complex 2D, 2.5D matte paintings for film.

What kind of software do you use?
For creating concept art, paintings and 2D matte paintings I use Photoshop. For 2.5D matte paintings which requires projection, I use 3ds max, Maya, Nuke which are very powerful.


How is your workflow?
For matte painting, I usually like to do first concepts or lookframes, than create matte painting in layers. If 2.5D matte painting where the camera have parallax, I create 3d base mesh and then on top of the render, I create matte painting in layers. In this case the projection will match 3D geo perfectly.

What's your rate?
I don't want to publish my rate and all the info are up to personal discussion.

Can I use your work for my own project, my own use, or commercial use?
Without asking, not. Please, ask first before any use of the work you can see over here. Any permission without asking is not allowed.

Can I ask you to work on a personal project, low-budget project, short film etc.?
Sorry guys, but I cannot do that kind of work. Simple explanation is: if I take work like that, I will have to stop working on paid jobs, which means I will lose income and credits.
