Editorial
Happy New Year and
welcome to Issue
025 of 2DArtist
Magazine! We’ve
gone interview crazy
this month with
four fantastic artist
interviews – two
of which are with
Concept Artists for
the amazing Guild
Wars games, and if
you’ve seen any of
their concept art work
on ConceptArt.org
recently then you’ll not want to miss these interviews, trust me! We also
decided to give Patri Balanovsky – one of our Stylised Animal Challenge
regulars – a grilling this month, so if you’ve ever wondered what makes
him tick (and win all those challenges!), then check out page 07 . In a
nice contrast, our interview with Matte Painter Ludovic Iochem can be
found on page 47 , which is a real inspiration to anyone looking to get
into the matte painting biz! My picks of this month’s issue have to be the
Speed Painting Challenge with Emrah Elmasli and Daniel Ljunggren,
and our interview with the immensely talented Daniel Dociu (see page
21 ). Daniel Ljunggren is new to our Speed Painting challenges and the
outcome of his tutorial is pure genius, so take a look at page 97 to
see his interpretation of this month’s brief: “Steam Powered Mechanical
Destroyer”. If you’ve been following Joel Carlo’s most recent tutorial, he
takes us back to basics this month, in Part 2 of his tutorial, and explains a
little about colour theory, so check out page 119 if you’ve been struggling
to get to grips with your palette, where all will be explained! This month
also sees the end of our current Elements tutorial series (sorry guys!),
where Carlos Cabrera takes us through the creation of a “Heat Wave”
environment (see page 107 ). Remember: if you’ve missed any of the
Elements series then be sure to pick up the back issues to get yourself
up to date! To be honest, there’s too much in this month’s issue for me to
talk about here, so check out the contents on the right and get stuck into
a bit of what you fancy! I’ll leave you now to enjoy this month’s issue and
we’ll catch you again next month! Ed .
