2d Artist Nov 2010

November will always be known for its fireworks and explosive excitement, well the November issue of 2dArtist is no exception.

We will start by having a quick overview of this month’s interview which is with the amazing Ignacio Bazan Lazcano. Ignacio is a regular contributor to the magazine, and I am sure many of you have been blown away by some of his fantastic images, but in this month’s issue we go a step further and learn a little about the man behind the art. Ignacio has had a really interesting route into the CG industry, even to the extent that his first job involved creating concepts with crayons on paper!

Many of you will bee familiar with this month’s Making Of artist Gediminas Pranckevičius (that isn’t a spelling error, but a very bad joke!). There was a real buzz (really I have to stop!) in our forums about his amazing image Wasp Woman Returns, so we thought we would get him to show us how he created it. 3D was used heavily as a base to create a scene in perfect perspective and Gediminas shows us how he used this base to create an image with a real sting in it.

This month’s cover image is by a really great artist, who is constantly churning out great image after great image at the momentMin Yum. Min continues our Painting Creatures form Folklore series by dealing with a Siren. The final image is a real treat, and Min does a great job with the tutorial to, so this is a must read!
