Hi!

Here you find my last monthly cover. I had to do this work very quickly (I thought and designed it in 24h). Thus, the result is not as detailed as usual, but I hope you'll like concept and characters anyway!

The drawing is inspired by this year new governmental housing plan, that is going to allow people to increase the size of residential buildings up to 20-30% of the existing volume. This is an highly controversial law, and some are afraid the real volume increases will be even bigger than those allowed.

The models are Maya made, and the landscape and some last touches were made by using Photoshop.

Speak soon,]]> Tue, 08 Sep 2009 02:10:02 +0000 http://lucaorlandi.cgsociety.org/gallery/783330

This illustration shows a night view of Verona (Italy).
I was inspired by some photos of this beautiful city... and its many bridges. (I made this cover for the number of July-August of a magazine)

At this moment (in Italy and the rest of the world) we need several new bridges: not built with bricks, but developed with our desire to understand and respect all people.

I hope you like it,

Hi,
This is the cover of the may-june issue of an italian magazine.
The original concept is the revival and development of new ideas for better and sustainable future. In paint this illustration I am inspired by old botanical books, and the famous "Codex seraphinianus" by the artist Luigi Serafini.

I made the basic elements in Maya, the details and textures in Zbrush and the final composition in photoshop. For the creation of the roots, grass and gears I used some custom brushes.
The old paper was superimposed in "multiply" at the end of the process.
The phrase:"Immaginare il futuro" can be translated: "imagine the future"...
I hope you enjoy my work,

All comments are welcome.

Best regards,]]> Tue, 12 May 2009 07:46:42 +0000 http://lucaorlandi.cgsociety.org/gallery/739750

The theme is the economic crisis and the problems some Italian mayors are facing in relation to it (councils are experiencing a lack of money even for basis public needs).
In Italy we say: "money don't grow on trees".... in this case, yes!
(but it is difficult to collect).

I modeled the base of the characters and the scene in maya, then I detailed in Zbrush clothes and finally the colors in photoshop

All comments are welcome,

Best Regards

- Luca.

This concept is part of "Bosch" series (inspired by Hieronimus Bosch). The base is "hand-made" on paper and the corrections and additions were made to sketchbookpro; Finally, I calibrated the colors in photoshop.

These sketches are a new series of creatures inspired by Hieronimus Bosch, an artist fundamental for me. I am always inspired by his works: his visionary style, has no equal in the history of art.
Currently, I am studying his work for the development of a new project.
(...These drawings are also on the back of my new business cards...)

Bye!]]> Tue, 03 Feb 2009 01:41:03 +0000 http://lucaorlandi.cgsociety.org/gallery/725911

Cover Illustration for a monthly magazine I collaborate with.
The base concept comes from a sketch I drew during one of my frequent journeys by train.
( link: http://www.lucaorlandi.com/gallery/concept_character.jpg )

The sled was modeled in Maya and colored in photoshop, while the character was originally designed with pencil and then painted with Zbrush and photoshop.

The photograph in the background was taken by the consortium for tourism "Verona tutt'intorno" (http://www.veronatuttintorno.it), wich collaborate with the magazine (and is freely distributable and usable).

Angry SchoolBoy and math problems...

Illustration for the cover of a magazine.
I used some photos as a reference - for the child (images found on google and other libraries)
Details of the writing on the walls (covered), are inspired by those of high school (ah, good old days).
Some elements (papillon, ruler, pencil, laptop) were sclupted and colored in ZBrush and imported (finished) in photoshop.
Best Regards,
Luca.]]> Tue, 11 Nov 2008 11:39:57 +0000 http://lucaorlandi.cgsociety.org/gallery/672966
