“This image is created for the CGArena challenge themed “Beautiful” and I won the second prize for this image. Thanks for all the sponsors and CGArena. The concept was to show a rough stone statue in a cold autumn environment. The statue represents a mother breast feeding and where the baby’s mouth touches the breast, the stone becomes warm flesh, showing love and humanity. I had my first baby 18 months ago and for me the image of his mother breast feeding was of an absolute beauty! I’m using Lightwave and Modo for all my modeling.”

“I do appreciate the special mood of the studio’s photography’s. I thought it could be interesting to reproduce this feeling in CG. Even if I haven’t practice this exercise before, I believe it has already been done by talented artists. Rather than taking inspiration from them I prefer to take advice of the photographers about how to set up the composition.”

“Making an attractive woman is always a goal for most CG enthusiasts. It’s also true to me. After a few years’ learning, I think it’s time to make one myself. Apart from attractiveness, I also want it to be a full body character, have long hairs; long legs, healthy skin tone, wearing high-heel shoes, and I want to avoid nudity as well.”

“This is not a step by step tutorial. I will summarize the workflow I used for one of my characters with lots of images and some print-screens directly from the applications used (maya/mudbox/photoshop etc …), also in the end I will provide some info about tangent space normal maps so you could think of this tutorial as mainly normal mapping related stuff.”
Making of Ingrid Bergman
“At the age of 17, Ingrid Bergman auditioned for and was accepted to the Royal Dramatic Theatre in Stockholm. During her first summer break, she was hired at a Swedish film studio, which consequently led to her leaving the Royal Dramatic Theater to work in films full time, after having attended for only one year. At the age of 21, she married a dentist, Petter Lindstr’m (who would later become a neurosurgeon). In 1938, she gave birth to a daughter.”
Making of the Standing Beauty [Nude]
“I really like the photography. In this work created for CGArena challenge themed beautiful and won the third prize, I tried to reproduce the style of classical black-and-white photographs. Slightly looking at the Google and I found a few suitable images. [Warning: this making contains the CG Nudity]“

Making of Song Hye Kyo in 2D
“Hello Readers, I use a blue pencil to sketch out the basic shapes of the image. At this stage, I do not worry about how perfect the drawing is. I just want to quickly sketch out the subject with a light touch. The last thing I do is block in the areas of shadow. This step in the process shouldn’t take more than 5-10 minutes. If it does, it it possible that you are trying to finish the painting before you even begin. Keep your stokes fluid and free. You can always paint over any stray lines later.”
Making of Lida
“Interpret a new feeling of an old Chinese poem, and try to make it more fantastical, sci-fi and surreal.”
Making of Birth [Contains Nudity]
“One of my first priorities when I begin to imagine a new painting is portraying beauty and balance. My palettes will often shift, sometimes quite dramatically, things will change about, but I will always strive to achieve harmony in the flow of form.”
Making of Judith [Contains Nudity]
I always found Judith to be one of the most fascinating characters ‘ there aren’t many strong women characters in ancient history and she is definitely one to remember.
