Editorial
Hello and welcome
to ISSUE 028 of
2D Artist! Spring is
oficially upon us,
bringing with it the
famously erratic April
weather. To keep
your spirits up through
this turbulent time of
wind, rain and snow
(yes, we really have
had snow here in
UK in April!), we’ve
got an issue which is
jammed-packed with
the best artwork, articles and artists that we can ind. This is the month
of the Making Of, with not one, not two, not even three, but four fantastic
articles that delve into the creative process behind our favourite pieces
of artwork. Anne Pogoda returns to talk us through the creation of her
inspiring matte painting “Stranded” and on PAGE 147 , Andreas Rocha
tries out different painting techniques with “Late Afternoon”. And if you like
Andreas’ work, look out for an interview with him in the May issue of 2D
Artist where we ind out what makes this digital artist tick! We also revisit
the Guild War franchise this month, in a pair of in-depth interviews with
Arena.net Art Producer Shawn Sharp ( PAGE 09 ) and Arena.net Concept
Artist Jaime Jones ( PAGE 21 ). Over on the other side of the Atlantic,
British artist Kev Crossley discusses how he reconnected with what he
loved about art and on PAGE 46 , veteran 2000AD artist Nick Percival
talks about freelancing, comic books, animated projects and just about
everything else under the sun! For those of you who have been eagerly
following our tutorials, Mike Corriero moves onto the conception and
creation of imaginary creatures in the second part of his Creature Concept
Design series, while on PAGE 108 , Tiberius Viris makes the most of April’s
unsettling weather and shows us how to convert a sunny image into a
breathtaking storm scene. And if those tutorials aren’t enough for you,
why not check out our Speed Painting challenge on PAGE 97 , where last
month’s interviewee Daniel Ljunggren, along with conceptual artist Ignacio
Bazán Lazcano, tries his hand at answering the “Man-eating plants!” brief,
with the usual entertaining results! There’s plenty to get your teeth into this
month, so simply sit back, relax, and head on over to the contents on the
right to experience the best that the CG world has to offer!
