DIGITAL MATTE PAINTER

TEXTURE ARTIST

2.5D DIGITAL MATTE PAINTING

For this shot I painted over a prosthetic belly that the actress was wearing to appear pregnant. 

It looked rather unconvining and plastic and a lot of seams were visible. 

I ended up painting her an entirely new belly, stretchmarks and all.

TEXTURE PAINTING

I painted all the textures for the baby, including wet/matted hair, the greasy vernix and blood.

2.5D DIGITAL MATTE PAINTING

The baby’s robes proved difficult to do realistically in the conventional manner, 

so I painted a matte painting of said cloth that was camera-projected in comp onto simple, animated/deforming geometry.
