ORCHESTRATE A PAINTING WITH BLENDER

Thomas Osbourne reveals his approach to concept art, highlighting Blender as a tool for professional production.

'The Vault' as a project spawned from a struggle I was having, which I think many professional artists face. Working as a concept artist in a studio, I couldn't count the number of times I have thought to myself, 'wait, I want to do that,' when I see one of my colleagues doing something cool and new (especially in Blender), only to then go home and feel massively overwhelmed by the unnecessary need to create a whole world around this new drive.

Naturally, everything falls apart at the moodboarding stage, and the idea dies inside a folder on my PC, never to be opened again.

This is where 'The Vault' comes in. I committed myself to building a world, and every time a wave of inspiration washed over me, I already had a world waiting at home that I felt confident with.

That thinking spawned this image: a culmination of many spur-of-the-moment interests I had, merged into one key image.

The story for this project is that there is an underground facility acting as the barrier between the real world and the creatures residing in the depths of Earth, and this piece is a look into the control room of it all.
