About
Type of work: Matte Painting
Extremely fun piece to work on, showing an alien planet for the show "Lost in Space". While I'm not particularly fond of the diagonal spikes which seem to have become the number one choice for portraying extraterrestrial landscapes in contemporary media, I was asked to paint them for visual continuity. I integrated these elements with what I found more compelling: graceful arches positioned along compositionally pleasing lines that are far more satisfying to the eye.
The setting within a vast canyon provided an excellent opportunity to express my creativity through intricate and varied geological formations. I envisioned these structures as having been sculpted over centuries of alien weathering, creating complex morphology that harmonises nicely with the grandeur of the surrounding landscape.
