What's coming up?

So, what am I up to in 2016? Well, apart from U7, which is my long-term gig (and seems it will remain so for many months to come), there is a couple more things on the plate...

Some large-scale awesomeness: after "Downtown" project, prepared for a night club in Shanghai, I'm slowly finishing another, similar project - three huge illustrations/matte paintings, with the widest being a triptych almost 30k pixels wide. Once the artworks are printed (in several layers for extra depth) and installed, I'll share some of the images.

Since my Shade3D intro was warmly received and folks behind the app are super nice, I've started working on a five part tutorial series, Advanced Concept Art Series, where I will take a closer look at Shade (among other apps). It's going to be a long, info-packed and very thorough 5-part concept art series that will present several different pipelines used for concept art development and presentation. In each part, I’ll be working on a different image from my personal artbook “Razordome”. You can find more information on my website, in the "Store" section.

So, quite a bit is coming up and bigger changes related to AK-ART are down the road. What changes? You'll see :)
