I asked for graphic, the client asked for POV, and the studio asked for destruction, so I ended up with this cool set. The POV is from the type blocks, that are getting pummeled by the oponent. As the hits connect, the camer a swings out of POV to show the scene wide and in glorious slow motion - shards, cracks, twinkling debris all flying away. As the fighter goes in for the next punch, the speed ramps back up and the camera swings back in to the POV of the type to take the hit. Fun painting these :) <img src="http://payload2.cargocollective.com/1/3/100426/2353966/UFC_POV_1_0205_960.jpg" width="960" height="540" width_o="960" height_o="540" src_o="http://payload2.cargocollective.com/1/3/100426/2353966/UFC_POV_1_0205_o.jpg" data-mid="11830194" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload2.cargocollective.com/1/3/100426/2353966/UFC_POV_2_0201_960.jpg" width="960" height="540" width_o="960" height_o="540" src_o="http://payload2.cargocollective.com/1/3/100426/2353966/UFC_POV_2_0201_o.jpg" data-mid="11830197" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload2.cargocollective.com/1/3/100426/2353966/UFC_POV_3_0105_b_960.jpg" width="960" height="540" width_o="960" height_o="540" src_o="http://payload2.cargocollective.com/1/3/100426/2353966/UFC_POV_3_0105_b_o.jpg" data-mid="11830201" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload2.cargocollective.com/1/3/100426/2353966/UFC_POV_4_0107_960.jpg" width="960" height="540" width_o="960" height_o="540" src_o="http://payload2.cargocollective.com/1/3/100426/2353966/UFC_POV_4_0107_o.jpg" data-mid="11830203" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload2.cargocollective.com/1/3/100426/2353966/UFC_POV_5_0107_960.jpg" width="960" height="540" width_o="960" height_o="540" src_o="http://payload2.cargocollective.com/1/3/100426/2353966/UFC_POV_5_0107_o.jpg" data-mid="11830205" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload2.cargocollective.com/1/3/100426/2353966/UFC_POV_6_0206_x_960.jpg" width="960" height="540" width_o="960" height_o="540" src_o="http://payload2.cargocollective.com/1/3/100426/2353966/UFC_POV_6_0206_x_o.jpg" data-mid="11832172" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload2.cargocollective.com/1/3/100426/2353966/LineBreak_960.png" width="960" height="1" width_o="960" height_o="1" src_o="http://payload2.cargocollective.com/1/3/100426/2353966/LineBreak_o.png" data-mid="11830316" border="0" align="left"/> They also requested a set with the stage being built on, the fence formed and assembled, etc.. <img src="http://payload2.cargocollective.com/1/3/100426/2353966/UFC_Oct_4_0105_960.jpg" width="960" height="540" width_o="960" height_o="540" src_o="http://payload2.cargocollective.com/1/3/100426/2353966/UFC_Oct_4_0105_o.jpg" data-mid="11830261" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload2.cargocollective.com/1/3/100426/2353966/UFC_Oct_2_0105.jpg" width="462" height="259" width_o="462" height_o="259" src_o="http://payload2.cargocollective.com/1/3/100426/2353966/UFC_Oct_2_0105_o.jpg" data-mid="11830269" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload2.cargocollective.com/1/3/100426/2353966/UFC_Oct_3_0103.jpg" width="462" height="259" width_o="462" height_o="259" src_o="http://payload2.cargocollective.com/1/3/100426/2353966/UFC_Oct_3_0103_o.jpg" data-mid="11830271" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload2.cargocollective.com/1/3/100426/2353966/LineBreak_960.png" width="960" height="1" width_o="960" height_o="1" src_o="http://payload2.cargocollective.com/1/3/100426/2353966/LineBreak_o.png" data-mid="11830316" border="0" align="left"/> And here's a more traditional, 'breaking up thing' version.

Portions of the painting have a subtle 3d effect worked in too. Best viewed in Safari as the colors are a bit dark scaled all the way down here. It's the 3rd, and one of my favorites of in the 12 part gallery print God Cycle series - badass virgin Athene. For roughly 8000 years she's held allure in the complexity of her character - wise, creative, caring and sensual, but warring, deliberating and chaste.. The rest of the series will be posted later this year, this one's going up first to let you know that it's also available as a print over at Society6, who are hosting a Young Guns Curated store. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/100426/2204994/LineBreak_960.png" width="960" height="1" width_o="960" height_o="1" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/100426/2204994/LineBreak_o.png" data-mid="11028721" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/100426/2204994/1_960.jpg" width="960" height="540" width_o="960" height_o="540" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/100426/2204994/1_o.jpg" data-mid="11042596" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/100426/2204994/2_960.jpg" width="960" height="540" width_o="960" height_o="540" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/100426/2204994/2_o.jpg" data-mid="11042599" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/100426/2204994/3_960.jpg" width="960" height="540" width_o="960" height_o="540" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/100426/2204994/3_o.jpg" data-mid="11042600" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/100426/2204994/4_960.jpg" width="960" height="540" width_o="960" height_o="540" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/100426/2204994/4_o.jpg" data-mid="11042603" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/100426/2204994/5_960.jpg" width="960" height="540" width_o="960" height_o="540" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/100426/2204994/5_o.jpg" data-mid="11042609" border="0" align="left"/> http://www.alexmapar.com/NBC-NBC-com-Branding-08 http://www.alexmapar.com/following/alexmapar.com/NBC-NBC-com-Branding-08 Fri, 21 Oct 2011 06:19:56 +0000 alex mapar . design, direction, animation, motion graphics, vfx . nyc, la, melbourne + . alex mapar 2182483 This was an open/ident/brand package that got canned before it was finished, but its cute heck so it's time it got some attention. The network wanted something that could unite their online and multiple demographics along with potentially, lead to the overall network with endtags and ids as well. I was asked for a "small world" style to illustrate cues from each show during promo Endtags. This intended to be used on IDs and the NBC website as an interactive landscape for their programming and web community. It was dropped while we were setting up a motion test, so we finished it into our own little world (with some assists on modelling and rendering from my then buddy in training Kenny Lutz) which you can see below too (try to find bigfoot!). <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/100426/2182483/NBC_08_A_World00_960.jpg" width="960" height="540" width_o="960" height_o="540" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/100426/2182483/NBC_08_A_World00_o.jpg" data-mid="10903062" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/100426/2182483/NBC_08_A_World02_960.jpg" width="960" height="540" width_o="960" height_o="540" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/100426/2182483/NBC_08_A_World02_o.jpg" data-mid="10903066" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/100426/2182483/NBC08Com_2ImageA_960.jpg" width="960" height="266" width_o="960" height_o="266" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/100426/2182483/NBC08Com_2ImageA_o.jpg" data-mid="12240554" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/100426/2182483/NBC08Com_2ImageB_960.jpg" width="960" height="266" width_o="960" height_o="266" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/100426/2182483/NBC08Com_2ImageB_o.jpg" data-mid="12240557" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/100426/2182483/LineBreak_960.png" width="960" height="1" width_o="960" height_o="1" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/100426/2182483/LineBreak_o.png" data-mid="10903221" border="0" align="left"/> Credits: Client: NBC Universal Studio: Capacity Creative Director: Ellerey Gave, Art Directors: Alex Mapar Designer Animators: Alex Mapar, Kenny Lutz
