really artistic job

Thanks for your comments. I don't usually get any feedback on these kind of images after the job is finished - basically because it doesn't make any difference, and the client is long gone...
If there is anything bothering you about any of the images, chuck it out there, feedback is great.
I also forgot these, a rush job for the Macy's Christmas Special 'Yes, Veronica' (produced by 'Bitstate'). It's a steampunk-style heartrate monitor, a bit like a victorian ECG:

For the CL stadium, what are the long blue things hanging from the roof? As a football fan the last thing I'd want to see is something blocking my view of the pitch.
Did you create the CL stadium, or did you just do the artwork to someone else's instructions?
I especially like seeing the images. I'm a big football fan (I'm a Chelsea fan so I can't say I'm any fan of UEFA ) and was intrigued by the CL stadium - the huge size makes it look as if it holds at least 500,000 people. The roof, even though it's completely impractical looks awesome every time I've seen it on TV.
How involved are you in the projects? Do you just come up with the concept art or are you also involved in creating the ads/shows for TV?

The blue things are the banners that furl down in the final video, and show video clips of various teams as the camera pans past them.

I was working for a visual effects house, so I got to have a lot of input into the design of the sequence and layout of the shorts, but not the overall concept of the video. The art director from the agency gave me the brief for the stadium design - it had to have the Champions League logo as a roof (totally impractical), it had to have some very large banners around the pitch (totally impractical, as you point out), and it had to be the biggest, most impressive stadium ever (again, probably totally impractical).
I sat down and did the rest. The 3D model was then done in maya by the 3D modeling and texturing team at 'Rushes', based on my SketchUp model.

Hey Alex - wondered where you'd been hiding. Obviously hard at work. Great work as usual, and always nice to see SU integrated into a production pipeline. Always look forward to your posts.
