Fairy Queen in full bloom as the Northern Hemisphere emerges from a winter of cold and white. It would seem like I was subconsciously drawing from previous artists as my colleagues see similarities and familiarity in the image. Hopefully it evokes a positive response

Photoshop and many hours.]]> Sun, 15 Mar 2009 17:11:32 +0000 http://zachlost.cgsociety.org/gallery/727689

An image which started in 2008 as a complicated exercise on my Cintiq. It remained unused and an unfinished project until recently for a SIGGRAPH.ca banner.

The pretense is a dragonfly-type scouting vehicle which is operated by a human in the not so distant future.

Part of 16 images of a Children's Bedtime Story book that I'm shopping around for a publisher for. The work is derived from lines of a poem I wrote and each image took over a week to complete. The final image has typography floating over the top.]]> Wed, 05 Nov 2008 08:57:19 +0000 http://zachlost.cgsociety.org/gallery/693928

The moment of nectar ecstasy when the Flower Fae releases pollen for the Blue Fae.

Original concept was more literal between a flower and a bee but sketches evolved into this focal moment. In the end I wanted to hold that expression of connection between the two faces.

5 days, off and on.]]> Mon, 10 Nov 2008 08:43:42 +0000 http://zachlost.cgsociety.org/gallery/694433

Was originally a character piece for a guild-mate in World of Warcraft (US Dath'Remar Represent!). His wife asked for a image of his toon to stick on the side of his computer. Female Gnome Warrior - so very, very wrong.

This is an edited piece with a quick background and mob adjustment to fit a landscape format. Colour adjustments from the original TBC Purple to WOTLK Blue.

Fan art based on the upcoming Starcraft 2. Here Sarah Kerrigan takes a stab at a protoss/terran hybrid - just because it was in her way.

The composition was heavy imbalanced to accentuate the motion and the dramatics. I sent a lot of time trying to get the colour balances right too. References were taken from Blizzard's site, while liberties were taken on the protoss/terran hybrid.

Photoshop + Cintiq. 4 days]]> Fri, 11 Apr 2008 09:12:45 +0000 http://zachlost.cgsociety.org/gallery/605083

New Fantasy piece for 2008. Image is based of the Warcraft Universe. A druid riding a new flying mount in the Emerald Dream Realm.

The concept of the mount is a chimera mixture of a Raptor like dragon with a Celestial (Asiatic) tail for self-propulsion.

1.5 Days on Photoshop + Tablet.

Satyr of the forest tending to the fauna.
A fantasy piece which explores the mythical creature in a different light.

The hotter the flame, the more intense the heat. An image exploring the burning passions of the cold flame in the female form. Dormant though they can be, they simmer below the skin, waiting to set alight.

2 days worth of work.]]> Sun, 15 Apr 2007 09:37:19 +0000 http://zachlost.cgsociety.org/gallery/478708

Andriod junkyard where you can find broken parts and broken hearts.

Done back in 2004 on a cyborgian detail phase I was going through. It gave me freedom to distort and explore anatomy.]]> Mon, 26 Mar 2007 14:24:15 +0000 http://zachlost.cgsociety.org/gallery/693643

Cover for a comic I'm working on (thus the gaping empty spaces on the top and the sides). The characters were described as "stereotypical large breasted woman with a x-bow and huge muscular guy with a large axe".

I had fun doing them because of how cheesy it looks :-)]]> Sun, 09 Nov 2008 05:52:25 +0000 http://zachlost.cgsociety.org/gallery/490792

Disgusted with Blizzard's most recent attempt at the Druid Tier 6 outfit (World of Warcraft), I decided to redraw one of my own. Based off the idea of the "bird" theme they were going for, I merged the tradtional Green colours of the druid with some browns and gold.

A few elements of the Claw and the Paw and the rest was in line with what armour treatment/style had applied to the other classes.]]> Sun, 29 Apr 2007 13:26:28 +0000 http://zachlost.cgsociety.org/gallery/550899

World of Warcraft Fan Art.

Image was done as a prize for the winner of an in-guild naked-gnome-race. The winner requested a their Hunter toon in Nargrand.

an entry for a DevArt competition. The model is a fuel for my fantasy, and the fae are sparks which alight my fire.]]> Fri, 23 Mar 2007 05:03:00 +0000 http://zachlost.cgsociety.org/gallery/477545

a bit of self indulgent Cyborgian surgery]]> Fri, 23 Mar 2007 05:09:25 +0000 http://zachlost.cgsociety.org/gallery/477543
