[Eps~]

Welcome to Eps' Workshop. Mind your head.

At first I didn't really intend to start my own thread here, but someone suggested I should, so here I am. My first graphic designs go back 5-6 years ago which eventually led me to website designing. Then came the dark ages as I did not do a single thing for years. Now as of this post, it's been like 1 month since I started working with graphics again. For most of my work in the past I used Photoshop 6-7, Paint Shop Pro, Cinema 4D and Unlead gif animator. Today I usually work on Photoshop CS3, Illustrator CS3 and Flash CS4.

My goal, among common static works, is to make 'unique' animations. I want my stuff do me somewhat different - something I've never seen before. If that is true or not, you decide. Oh and I only do signatures when I'm inspired by something, sometimes I won't do anything for days, months even - the next day I can do 10.

Bellow is my recent work. Please don't steal anything without a permission

Spoiler for part 1:

Found an interesting wallpaper and I just had to do something out of it.


Sig created from SweetHoney's fabolous render found here.


Added wings to give it a fairy look.


Originally this was one of my first ideas for this sotm but it got scrapped later on.


Wanted something non animated. And pretty.


Made this as an example on a tutorial.


Made this as an example on a tutorial.


5cm per second - Rewatched the movie and was yet again simple amazed at the scenery

First sig after several years of inactivity.

Spoiler for part 2:

Tried making something different, so a rather blurred and shiny background to stay focused on the render.


Was experimenting with some metal glow effect and it turned out as my new siggy.

No idea. Haven't done a grudge sig for years.

Spoiler for part 3:

You can take these without permission, just don't go telling around that you've made then. Or you'll get ambushed by a group of maneating bunnies.

I fail at taking photos, but at least I try. On 95% of the times, I forget my digital camera, but if the view is amazing - I'll even take the picture with my phone.

Wanted to do a cross between a real picture and anime- classical look. Also added the 'window' effect so it gives the impression that the character is looking through it.
