Graviton Syd Mead style GIF

I received a lot of requests from people asking me to do an animated GIF of the Graviton "Syd Mead's style" sketch I did a while ago. Well, here it is! Took a rough 3D screenshot and then sketched on top to get the style and color theme I wanted the image to look like. Saturated colors, dramatic light, scenic atmosphere  and stuff ;-)

Syd Mead Lecture

Down in the "Progressions" exhibition in Detroit last week was happening a very welcoming cocktail with Syd and Roger. Having a glass of wine with them was definitely something I was looking forward for a long time. After a very interesting conversation with Roger, and after he signed my Sentury II book, I asked Syd Mead to sign it, as well as my "Graviton" print. The cocktail was followed by a lecture by Syd Mead in the auditorium, about his career, his challenges in the movie industry, his drawing techniques and also his wide inspiration sources.

- "Syd Mead Progressions" -

A one-of-a-kind exhibition featuring more than 50 original paintings from the master. A great event where I could enjoy his work from very close... Wow, it was just staggering.

Graviton "Syd Mead's style"

Wow, trying to sketch using Syd Mead style is really hard! I knew this was going to be a hell of a challenge, but the work of reflections, lights and atmosphere depth is highly exhausting. I learned a lot doing this sketch, as much as I had fun I guess. I could continue forever and ever adding details and stuff, but at some point, I had to stop.
