Frank Herbert`s Dune - Color Studies

I was always a big fan of the world of the original Dune book, so I thought it could be a really fun side project to develop some concepts for it. Here is the first batch of experiments and I hope I can post more soon.

Atraides Palace

The Baron

Arrival of the Fremen

Sandworm Watchers

A different take on the space monster idea from Cloverfield...

Trying to get into Modo a bit more, so heres a wip graybox for an environment design. I will try to post more about this one during the progress...

Sculptris Alien Portrait Sketch

First day in LA, so I thought the best, if I start something new. I never really was a 3d guy, but I started to play around with Sculptris and came up with this guy. I made some speedie retouching and coloring on the 3d base in PS. Not supercool, but hey, this is my first 3d stuff ever! :D
