Tom McGrath – Freelance illustrator & 3D artist

Something a little different for me- I heard this song:
An image immediately popped into my head. It’s rare that that happens! It was a fun little distraction from my “proper” work, and a nice excuse to experiment with style and some new brushes in Paintstorm....

I’m trying my hand at AtomHawk’s “Into the void” concept art challenge. #atomvoid
I’m about half way through the final artwork at the moment, but I thought I’d share some of the process so far:
I started with a load of rough thumbnail drawings in my sketchbook- just really quick visual notes to capture the barest form of the idea in my head....

Here’s a couple of posters I designed for a client some time back, both of them are vintage, Victorian-inspired steampunk styled efforts.
The first is a poster for a fictional airship race over the streets of Paris. “La Grande Course d’air de Paris!” I spent a long time trying to match up google Earth data with old photos of the city to get as realistic impression of the city in 1986....

Knowing is all well and good. But doing is something else entirely.
