Paul Cartwright

Paul Cartwright is quite a widely used name so if you want to see his work more you will have to look up Zero 9 Studio. Another artist I saw in an imagineFx Book, some of the work he has done are video games, illustrations and magazine covers. In the book he gives a guide to doing one of the pieces below which is very informative.


 These are the two images i first saw of his in the magazine and the guide showed how he created his gorilla rider original concept and developed it, the one on the right was just used to show how he presents he's pieces after creating them.


Since he does a lot of professional work he has worked as an illustrator for companies and designed a logo such as this chimera logo which looks very impressive especially if you see it on a fantasy book due to the use of colour and the graphic element of the image.


These are some of his video environment concept art for some of the video games he has done and even though there is not much colour added you feel real depth
due to the amount of shading that is added to the pieces.

 

This is a piece I really like since the design isn't over the top
but it also has a very elaborate look to it which I
like due to the contrast with the earthy run down background
to the Sci-Fi robot.

Here are some character designs for the same video game i believe. What i love about his designs is how real they look even with a slight cartoonie appearance hell even the details go down to the belt buckle and buttons, the characters look like they have personality and attitude even while in a T pose which i think is probably very hard to do.



His work is a major inspiration and a good reference to what i will need to do even though i will not be able to do it as well. As i look at his work i get ideas of how much detail i should put in but and i do mean but there is a major difference in experience so i will need to strive to maybe half as good as this guy is.
