New Logo.

Harry — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 21:43:37 +0000

You might have noticed that at the top of the page and on my homepage, I have been sporting a new logo. This was designed by be in Photoshop (surprise, surprise…) and I was just looking for feedback. Let me know what you think.

Here it is:

Oh and sorry there has been a huge lack in activity, but I can promise you there will be more to come soon :)

CS4 Master Collection, and my artwork on the wall!

Harry — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 12:00:06 +0000

Finally, I managed to get my copy of Adobe Master Collection CS4 through on Thursday. I have to say that I’m certainly not disappointed. I know it’s only the 30 day trial, but it will have to do. It also saves time downloading it!

My Illustrations in Print:

Last weekend I took a trip into town and brought myself some photoframes. I then printed of some of my artwork and put it in these frames. Here are the results. Sorry for the low quality pictures, the iPhone isn’t cut out for HD.

With Christmas coming up, if you want to buy a copy of any of the above, then just let me know. I need the money.

Coming Home – Revisited

Harry — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 13:20:44 +0000

I have just finished the new version of my first matte painting – Coming Home. Here it is:

As you can probably see, I have modified the lighing and added a reflection on the water from the light. There was also a problem with the lighing on the moutains, it was coming from the wrong direction. This has now hopefully be corrected. The finaly major adjust was the sky. I have made it much more stormy and darker.

Hopefully you think its better,

Harry.

Freaky Beats

Here’s another one to add the my collection. I did this, once again, using Photoshop. Lots of custom brushes, gradients, and other magic tricks. This is part of a new series i’m working on. This is the ‘Viral Beats’. The previous illustration, Elektrobeats was the first installments. I don’t know how many illustrations are going to be in the series. Probably about 6.

Anyway, I present to you:
Freaky Beats.

Enjoy,

Harry.

Elektrobeats

Yes, thats right. Two illustrations posted in a day! Here is the second one I have been working on this evening.

It is just a simple one that makes heavy use of custom brushes, and gradients to name a few. I see this one as one of my favorites so far. Enjoy.

Coming Home

Harry — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 17:53:14 +0000

Finally, I have completed my first ever matte painting!!! After many attemps, I have actually had the patience to finish one.

For this I used lots of curves adjustments, layers adjustments, and custom brushes. The sky was also added from another picture. This was inspired by one of Alp Altiner‘s tutorials in ‘d’artiste Matte Painting’ book by Ballistic publishing. You can download the .PSD file here: http://code.google.com/p/harry-northover-code-store/ .

Here it is:

Now I know this is by far not one of the best, but I learnt a lot about the process etc while making this, and that is the most important thing for me.

I have just been playing around in Photoshop with curves, brushes and general messing around and I thought I would post what I have just made. It’s not much but I like it!
