Hi everyone!
Next work I did for John Paul Hayward's digipack, Cross Symphonic.
This was the inside art of the 3 leaf digipack and while the cover was more about the world itself, for this he wanted to go more into the story.
"...At the age of three, Serge was wounded by a panther demon while playing outside. He was taken out to sea by his father Wazuki, along with Wazuki's friend Miguel, in an attempt to save him. Schala heard his crying from across time, and feeling empathy, she causes a huge magnetic storm to blow them off course to Chronopolis, since the Frozen Flame alone could save Serge. The storm caused Chronopolis' defenses to fail, leaving the facility entirely open. Serge was treated by the Frozen Flame, but it corrupted his father."
Because it was the inside and both left and right side leaves were going to have text on them, we had the focus point fit the center of the art. This was a bit of a different artwork for me, as I could just not fill it with more stuff until it looked good (as I always do ;) so I really had to work on that water. :D

Man, what you do with photos is just amazing. Where do you get the sources? Do you use a paid service or just scour the internet?
Thank you! :D
I use some paid photos from Photobash.org, they are the best by far in terms of price per quality and amount. I spent way too much on that site haha.
But otherwise I just go to Pixabay, Unsplash, or back in the day DeviantArt. Sometimes I just use google with the usage rights & modification filters even though it's more possible to run into trouble that way.
This is fantastic. Would you sell these as NFTs, or would there be copyright issues due to the photo sources?
Thank you! :D
Unfortunately this was custom made for a client so I don't have publishing rights for this piece, therefore I can't make NFTs of it. :p
That happens as well with at least half of my work haha.
your work with matte painting is impeccable
:D Glad you think so, thank you!
Love this picture, it oozes so much atmosphere! Great Job! 😎
Mission accomplished then. :D Thank you!
