Ross Dearsley
http://conceptartworld.com/?p=10222 http://www.rossdearsley.com/
Ross Dearsley is a professional freelance concept artist and illustrator based in Berkshire, United
Kingdom. Ross works in a variety of entertainment media areas including video games, print, film &television.
I really like his brushwork and how it ties the whole image together. For example, this piece for
Order of Phoenix (below) has the common theme of this striped brush stroke. Dearsley, rather than
try to create something that looked realistic/photographic he has the whole scene in this blocky
theme. A giant fire snake would seem too unbelievable in a realistic setting so his style means that
the whole scene and world become integrated with the fantasy and then acceptably believable.
This is another piece for the same film. This time the themed brush is square. This gives the
dementors ragged cloak an even more abnormal feel as it doesnt follow the theme.

Angela Sung is a concept artist from Los Angeles, California currently working as a background layout
artist at Titmouse. Angela has created concept art and illustrations for companies such as SonyComputer Entertainment Europe, Fantasy Flight Games, Nicalis, Inc. and many more
Sung uses really soft brushes that create these velvety environments. It really adds this sense of
wonder and yet believable fantasy. The sense of perspective through multiple layers and colour is
really nice too. Theres a lot of information shes gives that tells the viewer how theyre seeing the
scene. In the second image particularly there is a feeling that were perched on a branch like the
fairy below.

Lianna Tai is a concept artist and illustrator from Los Angeles, California currently working at
SuperBot Entertainment, Inc. Lianna attended Art Center College of Design and has worked increating visual development, concept designs and illustrations.
Tais works with these pastel colours even though her work is almost Disney-like in its splendor.
These more tranquil colours make the world depicted in the scene more realistic. Similar to Sung,
she uses very soft brush strokes. In the second image, and something that appears in a few of her
works, shes added the glowing orbs. In this they suggest fireflies but they add to the atmosphere
quite a lot. Although it could be a little cheesy, without the piece wouldnt have the same impact.

Conclusion:
I want to be able to create this feeling wonder that these 3 artists create, in my scenes. Although my
settings are natural and possible places I want the audience to feel the amazement that Aronnax
feels as he explores places seen by only a handful of people if any. Ill use the common brush strokes
to tie the piece together, the soft brushes to create that fantasy texture and the little specks in the
atmosphere to add to the wonder. These 3 things will also help to create the feeling of being
underwater and under pressure. For example, the volcano ash floating around the Atlantis scene.

Victorian
Victorian art follows similar themes in its pastel tone and blocky colours however the image that
culturally springs to mind is of a bland sepia colour photo style. This saturated orange/brown colour
could be a useful tool to bringing the awareness of the era into the landscapes.
