Screenshot/Work in progress: THE HIGH PRIESTESS - Valor Quawm Issatopode III. I have never played #magicthegatheringcards , but have always looked up to the art of the game. Ever since I could draw I wanted to be as good as them so I am going to try make my own card. Have started the details on the Robe/Vest/Dress and here you can see my brush and layer set up for those #photoshop fans. Next will be face and other details. Light sources and bouncing light. Getting away from the m trying to use line work and more painting style. #art #artist #artwork #designer#design #artofvisuals #magicthegathering #concept #conceptualdesign#magiccards #digitalpainting #imagine #pushthemskills

KAIJU vs JAGER - Pacific Rim Fan-Art 2015 - BACKGROUND PROCESS

This was a collaboration by Me ( Mr Leon Taylor) and Matt Haworth for the Event Overload NZ

I put together a rough compostion of the area with the background and Kaiju, that I later sent to Matt and who later roughed in the Jager in before we decided on the composition. I wanted to make mine aggressive as possible and charging at the Jager after he had made his way through the city.

KAIJU vs JAGER - Pacific Rim Fan-Art 2015
Below is the finished piece, to follow is the rough and process I have taken through the collaboration.

The rough Design and composition I drew up, that Matt Haworth later inserted his WW2 style Jager.

The First pieces of Line-work for the huge Kaju vs the Photoshopped Coloured Version with light bounce and elements be fore adding to the background.

MR LEON TAYLOR

- BACKGROUND PROCESS-

1)Get the prespective ready and general landscape.

2) Add inn intial light and lights in city.

3) Map out the distruction from where the Kaju has come from and add moon and background lightining.

4) Work on clouds and light source and smoke over the city.

5) Add the cold vs warm tones to match Characters and add contrast to the battle.

6) Clean up city area make it feel like it has more depth and a shore line give the clouds more volume.

7) Burn that city down, make it feel like terror has been and that it is about to colapse and add movement in the ocean where the Jager and Kaju will be.

8) Add the rays of light that will be hitiing our characters.

9) Insert Kaju and then look work with Matt on a final composition.

This was a great challenge and I got so much from it. I live to collaborate and especially with people who have a similar background and love to finishing projects.

The Word of God is Powerful - 2015 - WARNING BRUTAL IMAGE

This may appear to be just a Zombie. But is actually a man gone mad from the word of God. So much so he ripped his own jaw off to try and stop his ramblings. But all it did was just turn him in to a bleeding gargling mess. The word of God is more powerful than even God could have truly known.

1) photos of the pencil line-work.

2) Screen shot of the bleeding wounds

The Twisted Holy slate pit: Creation process - Visual Diary -7 major steps

Mr Leon Taylor

The Twisted Holy slate pit:

Concept art/ Game art/ Album artwork : I wanted to challenge myself doing more underworld painting. All are based on a number of thumbnails I drew one morning that I had to get out of my head. The most exciting part is texturing them. Thumbnails are quick and help get the light source sorted. I tried to stick to a more simple colour palette compared to ' Eternal rotting root of Doom '. But making it feel more Alien, but just as organic

1) Thumbnail - and made in layers to know what layer I am texturing BG, FG MG.

2) I then start cutting out the pieces I need from my thumbnail sketch and throw some coulor and texture with photoshop brushes. Then rough out the root that will climb the slate.

3) Worked on the lightsource more, fine details, added some textures.

4) Add the area I have imagined the lightsource has come from above. like a sharp beam of light.

5) I work to make the light source to feel animated and then add a few layers to make the light source closer to the shot. I add natural pillars, that were roughed out with the textures.
