<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Been a while since I updated. I've been working on several new digital pieces, mainly concept drawings. Practicing working faster and getting more detail into each piece. The video below shows my piece "Sky Forest", a futuristic city concept, with the initial black and white image, then a color overlay. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This is a progress animation of my new matte painting titled <a href="http://www.adamvart.com/p/digital-work.html">"Apocalypse Now"</a>. The original photo was taken on a rooftop in St. Petersburg, FL. I envisioned how the skyline would look in the future, with modern skyscrapers and a bustling city. But I went a little further in time to show what it would look like in the absence of people. A time when vegetation takes over and slowly breaks down our structures. Modern cities are a great benefit to people, but we need to remember they are temporary and aren't immune to the elements.</span></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/adamvart/thQZ/~4/G7mXPTvYQCQ" height="1" width="1"/>Adam Vargahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01566831273632615372noreply@blogger.com0http://www.adamvart.com/2011/10/blog-post.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5170030157858734927.post-88715848921947237222011-06-16T20:23:00.000-07:002012-05-10T08:07:21.920-07:002012-05-10T08:07:21.920-07:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
