Hi Guys, lot's of time I donīt post here. this one is my entry for Strange Behavior Challenge:

It was Jimbo's lucky night. One winning hand after another. Two hours before, all his friends advised him not to play precisely at that canteen and precisely with those guys, reknowned as the worst scum of the galaxy, dangerous enough to not being on the same planet as them.
He didn't understand why, once you get to know them, they were perfectly frindly pals. Besides, Jimbo wasn't against cheating a little here and there, it was a matter of showing overconfident attitude, and of course, they would never know it. But this last time he had the weird feeling there was something wrong, they were all looking to the window behind him, stupid freaks...

Hope you like it.]]> Mon, 19 Nov 2007 18:34:55 +0000 http://ramitxon.cgsociety.org/gallery/612210

Hi, this is my entry for ConceptArt.org COW #112 Stilt Stalker

In the deep forests of Congo, they say there lives a gigantic creature that walks on long legs almost as stilts. This creature is the giant Forest Wildbeest, one of the few cases on nature where a known herbivore has turned fully a meat eater. Evolution has turned this once peaceful ungulate to use its sharp as knives hooves to slay his favourite prey, giant nile crocodiles, which are unable to escape due to their short legs. It's difficult to see because being so tall a creature, usually overtops the trees, hiding its great bulk over the forest canopy.]]> Sun, 23 Mar 2008 20:14:25 +0000 http://ramitxon.cgsociety.org/gallery/612231

Hi, this one is my entry for Conceptart.org COW #111.

On great libraries across the world and along the centuries, enormous quantities of all kinds of books have been stored. The written record of the history of mankind along time. It begun when the first man put the first words on a stone slab. History only exists since writing exists.

Since the moment sheets of parchment or papyrus were utilized to make books in great numbers, one small creature evolved to feed on them. This bat-like flying nemesis found a new habitat hiding on great libraries, among the bookshelves, feasting on the books and stealing capital episodes of our history simply because there were recorded only on a few pages, easily devoured, changing the course of events just because there was no way else of knowing better. These creatures ate through whole volumes about Atlantis, erasing its real location, its art and customs. About the tomb of Alexander the Great, the templars, the Holy Grail and the Catarus. The coming of extraterrestrial ships to ancient Egypt and the Mayan empire... All episodes forever lost to us.

Perfectly adapted to their unique environment, these book eaters developed a kind of camouflage, black markings on their bodies resembling letters on paper, merging their silouettes against open volumes. Using their wings to fly from one library to another, the world was completely oblivious to their existence.

At the time one of these creatures was discovered, he was happily munching through page 111 of a lone book of memoires of Cristopher Columbus, who was telling future readers about who was the real discoverer of the new world, who told him America was there. Nobody will learn the truth now. The creature was later known only as 111, because there was no other copy of that page.

That small mammal had in fact the power of changing history. Depending entirely on the existence of someone to tell about it, if you destroy the words of the past, you change the future.

Hope u like it.]]> Sun, 23 Mar 2008 21:19:01 +0000 http://ramitxon.cgsociety.org/gallery/612224

Hi, this one is my entry for Conceptart.org COW #110 Hyperactive.

On Planet Dilbert III, human colonists found perfect conditions to inhabit a fertile and uninhabited world. Also found some specimens of a creature they named Multipede tempusfugit, later known only as "What the...". They were rapidly adopted by humans as pets, due to their soft and multicolored coats and their calmness and docility. Unfortunately it was soon discovered about their mating habits too. Male multipedes had the hability to alter their movement through time. It could flow for them ten times slower than for anything else. It was an astounding evolutionary achievement, meant to reach as many females as possible in the short mating seasons.
What looked like the perfect pet changed suddenly to a hyperactive sexual frenzied creature moving in a dazzling blur of legs and tails creating havok all around him. After some frenetic weeks, humans freed the creatures, which by the way, were incredibly frustrated, as everything in their surroundings was soooo slow and boring...]]> Sun, 23 Mar 2008 21:06:34 +0000 http://ramitxon.cgsociety.org/gallery/455788

It's not an easy task to hunt a wild troll, but it's every day stuff for Ole Daddy Willy and his faithful flying buddy, the greatest troll hunters of all gnomekind.

Hi, this is a scene, as you will have guessed by now, from the Hobitt, when bilbo enters Smaug's lair and steals a small part of the treasure. Smaug smells him the second time he enters and try to find him, of course Bilbo has the ring on and he is invisible at that precise moment but let's forget conveniently that small fact.
This is the last of the paintings I've done at Don Seegmiller's workshop, mainly in Painter and a few touches in Photoshop.
Thank you Don.

This is the story behind "Flying Away", my entry for "the journey begind challenge":

At the high city of Pomatta, famous among all others because it was surrounded by clouds rivalling the tallest peaks, lived Calculus, one of the greatest inventors and magicians of the kingdom, his strange laboratory towering above the other buildings.

Calculus' mind and powers were formidable, only he was a great dreamer, so life around him was far from 'normal'. Being a genius among ordinary people is not an easy task, the inhabitants of the high city looked upon him with fear and distrust.

One morning Calculus and his best friend took with them all their belongings and, mounting one of his strangest inventions, the fabled aerotortomobile, strange mix of living creature and steam engine, departed seeking adventure. It was time to look for new horizons.

Leaving all else behind wasn't so easy to Calculus' faithful dog. Looking back he whispered to himself on his seat among the luggage: Ļone day I'll return...Ļ

Calculus' own gaze was fixed ahead on the unknown journey before him...

Hi, this is my first attempt at modeling and rendering a 3d character. It is kind of an experiment because I'm used to architectural renderings but never have done a character before. There is so much excellent work around here that I had to try.
I know you have seen hundreds of dragons and I think it is a subject somewhat old fashioned but I had to start with something and, why not offering my interpretation of a dragon?.
Modelled in Max, detailed in ZBrush, rendered in passes in VRay and textured and final tweakings in good old Photoshop.
Hope you like it. Of course all crits are wellcome.]]> Sat, 22 Apr 2006 08:24:01 +0000 http://ramitxon.cgsociety.org/gallery/285888

Hi, guys, this is my first post though I've been around here for a good while.
Well, this one is The Snow Man, the fabled Yeti or Migouh, as seen as you would when wandering alone in a snow storm. You turn back and suddenly see Him and for a long moment you remain breathless. he looks at you with sad eyes an then, he's gone...
Was it an illusion or not?.
Hope you like it. All crits are very wellcome.
