Dec 28, 2009 Best of the Web
Good morning everyone, I hope your holiday season is going well and that you’re all looking forward to ringing in a new year of opportunities and challenges. It’s Monday, and it’s also a special day since PresidiaCreative has reached its 50th edition of Best of the Web.
As usual, this post contains the best posts from the previous week in the design web. There were a ton of photography roundups, from waterscapes to fireworks, random collections and some masterfully timed photographs. There were also some cool roundups of CG art, one by Paul from ForCG.com, and the other by myself for CreativeFan.com.
Hope you have a great start the week!

Best of the Web #45
Nov 16, 2009 Best of the Web
Good afternoon (or other variant based on where you are), and welcome to another edition of best of the web. This past week had a lot of photography roundups, everything from out-of-bounds style to tilt-shift photography. Also, there were two interesting tutorials on comic and cartoon style illustrations. My personal favorite post was a review of Photoshop brushes by SmashingMagazine, but of course, all the posts from past week that are included here are pretty good and definitely worth seeing.
Anyways, hope you all like, and as always, if you have any comments or suggestions for me, or want to contribute, don’t hesitate to contact me.
Have a great day!

32 Breathtaking Matte Paintings Dylan Cole
Nov 11, 2009 Featured, Inspiration
Matte painting is one of the coolest types of digital art. The combination of photography, 3d rendering, and painted effects results in photorealistic concepts that are unbelievable. Dylan Cole is probably the most well known matte painter, with his work prominently featured in Lord of the Rings. He graduated with a Fine Arts degree from UCLA, and after working as a traditional painter, he made the jump to digital painting.
Aside from his work on Lord of the Rings, he also has produced several Gnomon DVDs (which are really interesting, so if you’re curious about matte painting, check them out), and worked on major titles such as G.I. Joe, The Golden Compass, Eagle Eye, Pirates of the Caribbean, Fast & Furious Tokyo Drift, and iRobot. This post showcases 32 matte paintings from Dylan, some of which I’m sure you’ll recognize.
Hope you like the post, and if you do, subscribe so you can get all the future posts delivered straight to you.
Have a great day!
