Did you do the backround art for literally every sci-fi ever?

This is one of my all-time favorite images. I've tried to make clouds like this with limited luck. I'd love for James Cameron to like one of my novels and do a film. So great to see your work.

Beautiful image !
Several months ago, I tried to make clouds like those. I did not succeed. How have you done? A tutorial would be very appreciated.
Great job !

Β You actually worked on Avatar? In that you're a professional artist, who worked on a top quality film? Okay, if that's not Watch quality, I don't know what is!

Ohhh I see, so it's a richer atmosphere then earth and I'm guessing some off the plants give off tyhat deadly toxin that only inflicts on humans mostly?

So you're the one who laid the foundation for these gorgeous shots?
Wow, pleased to meet you!

Just flawless. This is the best planet matte I've ever seen.

My jaw LITERALLY dropped during this scene, you and your coworkers did an unbelievably amazing job!
The Venture Star and Valkyrie shuttles were perhaps my most favorite aspect of the movie, despite their short screen time. One thing I didn't get was that if the Venture Star is suposed to be propelled away from Earth with the photon sail, and the antimatter engines slow it down to Pandora, why is the ship moving sail attachment first and crew modules last in the movie?

This shot blew my mind! How did you find suitable cloud and earth textures? I assume you guys didn't use photos from the web for stuff of this quality? Did you use anything like Vue at all?
π: 0 β©: 2
That's awesome! Thanks for the response
π: 0 β©: 0
we used Vue and we used a big photo library with tons of clouds photos taken from airplanes and satellites, you can actually get some of the for free or some are just not that expensive

the only "science fiction" part of the movie, all the rest is a fairy tale.

The detail is amazing man, I'm impressed. It's rare that I come across a piece as technically as good as this.

amazing. i always dreamt of working in game/movie graphics, but ended up in a bloody office as an analyst
how can you beat a job where you get to make dreams reality (well, virtual reality anyway)

The amount of talent on deviant art never ceases to amaze me. Are you the designer of the Venture Star as well?
π: 0 β©: 1
no, that design came from Weta

you worked on avatar?
that is AWSOME!
i wish i could be part of something like that, not good enough- YET

Excellent job. I really love all the research and background work that went into this movie. It gives the science part of "scifi" more credibility than if it were completely fiction.
What kind of hardware were you running to make such massive image files?
π: 0 β©: 1
I used photoshop cs3 in 16 bit , and 3ds max / mental ray , fusion for final comp

And the computer hardware?
π: 0 β©: 1
dual quad core, 16gb ram , BOXX , windows xp 64 bits

I just want to say...My hat is off to you sir, and you're unbelievable talents. The creation, design even idea of the ship is so unreal, and yet I can see the similarities to real technology that would be used today or in the next several decades. Everything is spectacular.
Quick question however. I never came to understand exactly which end of the ship is the front. The large red structures? Or the solar panels?
π: 0 β©: 0
This is just...awesome! I forgot how the transport ship looked like till now.
It's an honor to finally find someone who had responsibility for one of cinema's greatest epics.

How weird! I was just reading my copy of Empire magazine and the Avatar feature ( for the DVD release ) and this image is there amonst others

Beautiful work here, this scene gave me goosebumps when I first saw it. It still gave me goosebumps after the 8th time in 3D.

You actually helped MAKE that movie?!?! You're amazing, man! Frickin' AMAZING!!
Since you were directly involved, let me give you my opinion: The concept of humans riding to alien worlds, after years of hibernation, in gigantic starships for the purpose of mining resources (despite disapproval from the natives) was portrayed in such a way that I'm sure that's how it will really be done in the future. As for Pandora's biology, it was much more alien and much more richer in life than any fictitious planet I ever seen. However, the Na'vi themselves could have been less humanoid in appearance.
And to have an actual alien sex scene in the movie...well, that totally blew my mind, because I never seen that in a movie before! That was different in a good way!
Do us all a favor: Give James Cameron a great big "THANK YOU!" from his fans for creating one of the greatest movies ever to show up on the silver screen!

Nice work! Probably the one thing I admired about the movie (aside from how jaw-droppingly good the 3D was, of course), was the attention the spaceship received, even if it was only shown once.
