After seeing the Odyssey in the cinema, I felt inspired to illustrate some scenes from the poem, as if they were still frames from an animated film. Here is the offering of the sacrifice to Tiresias in the Land of the Dead. #odyssey #digitalart #visualdevelopment #animationart #clipstudiopaint

Tiresias drink the blood sacrifice from Odysseus in the Land of the dead, surrounded by other hungry souls.

See you in Annecy from the 22nd to the 27th Can’t wait to catch up with old friends and meet some new faces. P.S. and to go for a midnight swim, who knows knows :P #Annecyfestival #animation #animationart

Illustrated poster depicting Annecy lake at night, with full moon and boats moored.illustrated in a vintage/travel poster style.

...and an overview of the design process. #animationart #digitalart #visualdevelopment #artprocess #resources

Another keyframe from my Bronze Age project. I don't know where this one sits as it’s a mix between vis dev ( and I don't know yet if I'll have dinosaurs in my world) and cheeky fanart of Primal. Definitely a weird piece. #animationart #digitalart #visualdevelopment #artprocess #resources

This is a little excursus from my project, a fun exploration that is. Not sure I wanna push things so much on the pulp side, or having a cross-over between scfi and fantasy. Atm I prefer a“believable”, pseudo historical look #animationart #digitalart #visualdevelopment #clipstudiopaint

Neanderthal hunters in the foreground look at the rusted ruin of what seems to be an old spaceship, with some big deers hanging around the structure, unaware of the hunters.

Far away. Vintage vis dev ( as in old artwork🙃) from my Bronze Age project. I can’t seem to avoid including maritime pines in my art, I effin love ‘em😆 #animationart #digitalart #visualdevelopment #clipstudiopaint

A Bronze Age warrior stops by a tree to observe a ruined tower atop a thinly stretched plateau. Far away, beyond a thick forest, we spot the sea.

MaCaLabs@macalabs· Apr 24

Thank you so much. For this god statue I got inspired by the oxen head sculptures found in Çatalhöyük

MaCaLabs@macalabs· Apr 24

The Ritual. One of the very first images I did for my Bronze Age vis dev project. #animationart #digitalart #visualdevelopment #clipstudiopaint

A group of bronze age, bare-chested priestess bring offerings to a primitive bull-god statue while in the foreground villagers observe the ritual. In the far background a placid sea and mediterranean-inspired view..

Harbour. I keep posting old Vis dev pieces from my Bronze Age setting while working on new stuff. With this one there is an half baked/easter egg. Tip: is from a famous arcade video game.Nuff said🙃 #animationart #digitalart #visualdevelopment #clipstudiopaint

Afternoon. Sailors unload goods from an old sail boat docked on a Eastern Mediterranean-inspired harbour. In the background we see buildings from the walled city perched on the hills.

MaCaLabs@macalabs· Apr 21

The Sheperd. An oldie from my Bronze Age project while am busy working on new stuff:p #animationart #digitalart #visualdevelopment #clipstudiopaint

A lonely female shepherd sits on top of a ruined stone statue , looking down at the sea surrounded by maritime pines. It’s noon and extremely hot.

Here's the timelapse of my last piece, The Festival, if anyone's into the process of artmaking. This went pretty smooth and straightforward, which is almost never the case tbh, but I like how it stayed close to the initial vision #animationart #digitalart #visualdevelopment #artprocess #resources

MaCaLabs@macalabs· Apr 15

For the curious here's a selection of older works, I think 2013-2016 era 😓. Some of this stuff is very outdated but perhaps it's interesting to show the direction my art path has been taking? I'm so done with over rendering though. Line art and flat colors are my world now :P #conceptart #oldart

Thumbnails sketches of of dungeons/underground environments, drawn in pen and paper and coloured digitally.

Scifi scene done in mix technique 2d/3d, using blender and photoshop. iot shows a busy scifi city with flying ships over a waterfront

Mixed technique 2d/3d done in blender and photoshop. A mech maintenance crew is reparing a bit walker robot inside an hangar

Landscape concept 2d sketch of a eagle hunter (inspired by real life mongolian hunters) is getting back to his tent in the steppes. His eagle flying ahead. >Flower petals and fluff flying in the air

Posting here the sketches/steps that lead to this illustration, in case anyone is interested #artprocess #sketching #resources #art

Hi, apparently it’s #PortfolioDay so here you go: I am Marco I work as freelance art director in animation and I love my job, ancient history and fantasy( among many other things). I’m relatively new on these shores so feel free to say hi. www.macalabs.com

MaCaLabs@macalabs· Apr 14

The Festival. I've cleaned up and coloured the sketch from yesterday. Another storytelling keyframes of my Bronze Age inspired project. #animationart #digitalart #visualdevelopment #clipstudiopaint

A panoramic shot of central asian inspired bronze age folks, attending a religious festival in the desert. Many tents are camped around a massive carved statue of a venus figurine. In the foreground a traveller and his dog look ahead the scene.

Fate. Wanted to do an interior for my Bronze Age setting. For some reason I find it pretty relaxing to design and draw all that little props. I Tried to use references whenever so that the scene could be as beliavable as possible. #digitalart #animationart #clipstudiopaint #visualdevelopment

AN old man sitting in a bronze age hut, reading the future with foretelling stones and a board.

MaCaLabs@macalabs· Apr 10

Another old one from my Bronze Age project. Tomb looters in action. There is a little bit of weird storytelling going on, can you spot it? :) #animationart #digitalart #clipstudiopaint

Two bronze age tomb robbers in action, entering in a strange and forgotten crypt.

MaCaLabs@macalabs· Apr 9

Here the timelapse for today’s post. Differently from other pieces, this was for once a relaxing experience. I think I got the idea of the setting inspired by the tavern seen early on in the Witcher 3 game:) #digitalart #animationart #tutorial #clipstudiopaint

MaCaLabs@macalabs· Apr 9

Keeping up with posting vis dev from my Bronze Age setting ongoing work. This is an older one, named “Listen”. By the way I’m overwhelmed by the love that a lot of you showed towards my art, thank you so much❤️ I am at loss for words. #digitalart #animationart #clipstudiopaint #OC

A man and a woman in a bronze age era like tavern are sharing secrets.

MaCaLabs@macalabs· Apr 8

A pretty old personal fan art from a D&D campaign we played with friends from about 1996 until 2016. Mystara setting for you DnD nerds out there. #animationart #digitalart #clipstudiopaint #ttrpg

Colossal underground ruins approached by an adventurers party

Party is lost deep in the dungeon, walking by old doors and ruined stairs

Party come across a subterranean city in ruins

Party spot an undead skeleton guarding a tomb

MaCaLabs@macalabs· Apr 8

Thanks, they are inspired by real life structures from the Apulia region in southern Italy, called “trulli”.

MaCaLabs@macalabs· Apr 7

And another one from my project. Doing a lot of this visual development at the moment. #animationart #digitalart #clipstudiopaint

MaCaLabs@macalabs· Apr 7

Visual development for my Bronze Age inspired project. Everydays life by the sea. #animationart #digitalart #clipstudiolaint
