Thats the best critique that Nick has ever given, give yourself a pat on the back, nice comments there Nick, I too love your work, and have no comments (which is rare as well as I am a chatty fellow on critiques) looking forward to your next one,

Rich

Akim, Nick, Rich: thanks guys!! @Nick - Thanks! That means a lot coming from you, I appreciate it. And good guess about the foreground, it was from a photo--my cropping of the original reference is probably part of what makes it look a bit forced:

Thanks again guys.

Ha, awesome, I just had a feeling that that could be one of those odd looking things that turns out to be real, the lighting did look like a very good match.

Rich - You're probably right, it really isn't often that I give praise out, partly because I miss a lot of what goes on here these days but also I'm just used to being ultra critical at work. But if you can't be happy on a Friday evening, when can you be! ;)

Cheers,

Jadrien you rocks. Really great pieces. As Nick mentioned, great design and use of 3D . I have to start work with 3D too :) .. Very inspiring, thanks!

Thanks Jan!

Here are some personal works from January/February. There are more sketches on my DA account http://jadrienc.deviantart.com/; I've been making a point of uploading something weekly.

Hi everyone,

I've made a new demo reel: http://vimeo.com/48416195

Also, there's new work (digital and traditional!) on my website: http://jadriencousensart.com/

Here are some of the images from the reel, as well as some other work. I'm still posting sketches on my DA account if anyones interested: http://jadrienc.deviantart.com/










This was originally a shot I did for my reel. It was part of a larger pano, and there were some foreground ruins that the camera flew through before revealing the city. I ended up cutting it from the reel, mostly because I was trying to avoid fantasy... but I still like how it turned out, it works nicely as a concept.
