The great and majestic Unicorn, protector of the forest, has been destroyed, In its place lies only a foul and rotting carcass. Through basic instincts it wanders the forest engorging itself on lost souls that have also been abandoned by the flesh in an attempt to fill the great void that long ago contained its mighty soul. Once a keeper of life this beast now keeps death by its side.

this is a recent environment that I worked on from time to time, in between larger projects. Finally finished it! while working on it I came up with a story to accommodate the piece but I've decided to let the viewer come up with there own. Anyway it was created in photoshop and crits are certainly welcome ]]> Sun, 15 Feb 2009 15:35:11 +0000 http://jameswolf.cgsociety.org/gallery/725767

an environmental piece done for the unearthly challenge, the goal was to create an unearthly environment that you could walk around in rather than just creating a pretty picture. I went through a few different ideas for this one as well as angles but felt the high viewpoint fit the goal best. It was done in photoshop and I would love to hear what you think! ]]> Wed, 26 Nov 2008 07:01:16 +0000 http://jameswolf.cgsociety.org/gallery/681140

The room that has watched you grow and play, doesn't want you to leave, so it tempts you and tricks you so that it can keep its pet safe within its walls from the dangers and responsibilities of the outside world. this was a piece done for a gnomon workshop challenge. I had fun and had some free time. its was doen in photoshop over the weekend. Feel free to critique as I would love to hear your thoughts ]]> Thu, 02 Oct 2008 23:21:59 +0000 http://jameswolf.cgsociety.org/gallery/666593

This is a piece done for a client, it is of an angel standing on a mound in front of a moonlit sky. the image was done in photoshop and for this particular project there had to be multiple layers so the piece could be animated, so behind all those clouds is a perfectly rendered moon that will never be seen lol, anyway as always all crits and comments are welcome. thanks for looking ]]> Thu, 21 Aug 2008 19:46:22 +0000 http://jameswolf.cgsociety.org/gallery/663418

this was one of many cityscapes recently done for a client, This particular one is a distance shot of one of the scenes being played out in the storyline. it was all done in photoshop, I don't normally do that many scifi cityscapes so it was refreshing and I learned a lot from the experience I hope you like it and comments are certainly welcome. ]]> Tue, 12 Aug 2008 21:52:47 +0000 http://jameswolf.cgsociety.org/gallery/647668

originally it was just a quick pinup but people like the field light concept so I ended up turning it into an illustration, fairly simple piece, my main focus was on the lighting and figure of course. at first I had a small story that a hawk swooped down and stole her clothes for its nest but I decided it would ruin the simplicity of the image so forget i said that done in photoshop,]]> Sat, 28 Jun 2008 16:48:41 +0000 http://jameswolf.cgsociety.org/gallery/642981

a scifi cityscape for a client, this is only one in a series, I had a lot of fun with the piece as most of my work tends to be fantasy oriented, I'll post more when i get the chance, it was done in photoshop, I'd love to here your thoughts on it! ]]> Sun, 15 Jun 2008 17:10:20 +0000 http://jameswolf.cgsociety.org/gallery/611238

this character concept was designed for the queen challenge over at conceptart.org took some time to do but i'm happy with it, done in photoshop, I'd love to hear you thoughts on the piece thanks! ]]> Fri, 21 Mar 2008 02:43:14 +0000 http://jameswolf.cgsociety.org/gallery/594113

this is a fantasy portrait for a client. what he wanted was a portrait that doesn't give away to much for the viewers, allowing them to project somewhat, their image of what the character should look like, thus the heavy shadows. I could have used reference but i opted not to so I could maintain the illustrative qualities, I also just in general don't like using refs when dealing with portrait work because its very easy to just fall into "copy" mode. anyway I had a lot of fun with it, to get all the fine rendering of the dark image I painted it in a much lighter version and later lowered the levels to get the darkness I was aiming for. I hope you like it, I may be doing a series of these for the clients remaining characters but we'll see thanks for viewing and I'd love to hear your comments! ]]> Mon, 11 Feb 2008 00:46:44 +0000 http://jameswolf.cgsociety.org/gallery/575284

I wanted to create something that could be mistaken for an action figure or possibly cg model at first glance, just for fun I really felt like painting a female figure and saw that i didn't have to many sci-fi pieces. It took about a weekend on photoshop, nothing to extensive. the folks over at deviantart ate this up lol, and it receive a daily deviation.Obviously the figure was my focus so i didn't worry to much about the background. Originally it was a flat color but I recently added a little more in, I think it looses a bit of the model feel to it but having nothing in the background was bugging me. you can still see the original on my site, so at the moment this new version is cgsociety exclusive haha. ]]> Thu, 20 Dec 2007 21:20:12 +0000 http://jameswolf.cgsociety.org/gallery/553577

a rejected piece for a client, He didn't like the pose but i did so I ended up painting it in my free time, its done in photoshop, nothing special, its was a quicky and only took 3 or so hours to complete. I'd love hear any comments from you all. thanks!]]> Wed, 24 Oct 2007 00:37:55 +0000 http://jameswolf.cgsociety.org/gallery/534315

this Is an image of an angel with one wing her other was taken off during battle, she can no longer fly but uses the remaining wing to as much advantage as she can. Its done in photoshop. All crits are welcome! thanks. ]]> Wed, 29 Aug 2007 14:17:04 +0000 http://jameswolf.cgsociety.org/gallery/509282

A recent environmental piece I've just completed, I thought it would be fun to create an environment that would be fun to explore. I've been fiddling around with it for a while over at the CA forums, thanks guys and gals of CA! anyway i'm happy with the outcome. I wanted to push the details a bit, hopefully it was worth it. it was done in photoshop, time wise I couldn't tell ya cause it was on and off in between projects for a while. I would love to hear your thoughts on the piece, all crits welcome! and thanks for looking!]]> Thu, 21 Jun 2007 01:53:38 +0000 http://jameswolf.cgsociety.org/gallery/508974

I wanted to paint a figure obsessed with ornate gold. done in photoshop of course. took a few sessions to paint, not to long though. I would love comments because i'm really unsure about this one. I'm thinking of a few color variations for this one. maybe i'll put them up. ]]> Wed, 20 Jun 2007 06:57:54 +0000 http://jameswolf.cgsociety.org/gallery/482713

I was commissioned off a piece I created earlier called bad eye, the client wanted to add to the piece to fit his comic book, I went through many variations, this is one of them. I'm glad I was asked to refine my earlier piece because I never felt it was finished and now I was forced back into it and I now have an infinitely better version! It was created in photoshop I had fun creating the skin, so much in fact that I'm working on another face thats going to have as much detail as I can possibly jam in. I had some trouble choosing the cropping because I wanted to be close enough to see all the work I did on the skin but far enough away that you could see the hair and such. I hope it looks alright. I of course would love to hear any and all comments! let me know what you think! ]]> Fri, 06 Apr 2007 01:06:33 +0000 http://jameswolf.cgsociety.org/gallery/468343

this is a recent pinup of a woman, originally she was to be a fairy but I decided the wings were a little cliche, although I may at some point put some sort of wing in the back region, Its done in photoshop, nothing new there. all crits welcome, I'm unsure of the background, I might put something in but I don't want to take away from the figure. anyway thanks for looking and I hope you like it!]]> Tue, 27 Feb 2007 13:23:43 +0000 http://jameswolf.cgsociety.org/gallery/457012
