Leading artists Max Dennison, Yanick Dusseault, and Chris Thunig show you the techniques that will take your skills to the “Hollywood” level. The three Master Artists have film and game credits between them including: ‘Lord of the Rings’; ‘Pitch Black’; ‘Star Wars Episode III’; ‘The Island’; ‘War of the Worlds’; ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’; ‘Terminator 3’; ‘Troy’; ‘Kingdom of Heaven’; ‘Corpse Bride’; and ‘The Da Vinci Code’.

The Community
The d'artiste series is part of Ballistic Media's strategy to help build the digital arts community by raising the profile of leading artists. In addition to their Master Class material, each artist will choose a range of work submitted by the community that inspires or illustrates a technique that is of interest to them. This makes the d'artiste series unique in that it combines the technical insights of top artists with a glimpse of leading work from the digital illustration community.

These ‘Invited Artist Gallery’ sections are another example of the smart thinking that goes on at Ballistic. Not only do readers get the opportunity to see what is inspirational and exciting for the featured artists, but we also get commentary on many of these pieces. There is nothing quite like reading an accomplished creator examining the work of others.
Fred Galpern, VFX World, October 2006

Artwork must be submitted before 23rd July 2007. Further submission guidelines and electronic upload instructions must be read before submitting work: Read Guidelines >>

The d'artiste series
The d'artiste imprint (pronounced dah-tee-st) means both "of the artist" and "digital artist". Each d'artiste title will feature techniques and approaches of a small group of Master Artists. However, the focus of d'artiste books will not be limited to just techniques and technical tricks. In addition, we also showcase galleries of their own work and other artists' paintings that inspire them. In combination with artist interviews this mix of content gives the reader a comprehensive and personal insight into the Master Artists, their approaches, their techniques, their influences and their works.
Outstanding Quality
