bisoft RedLynx concept artist Juhani Jokinen
(www.artofjokinen.com) says, “My
Photoshop process is pretty simple really. I
mostly use the paintbrush, photo textures
and some custom shapes. The process for this one
technique-wise was fairly typical for me. I usually start
by trying to find interesting silhouettes and shapes that
I like and when I’m happy with those and the© Juhani JokinenUBISOFT REDLYNX ARTIST JUHANI JOKINEN EXPLAINS HOW HE

composition I start filling the shapes in with photo
textures and painting. Then I just let the piece cook in
the oven for about 15 hours until done.”
Three Pistons Lodge is part of a series of personal
works. “This is a part of my ROMU series of paintings
depicting a desolate world inhabited by robots. I don’t
exactly have all the details about this world figured
out, but I like finding out more about it piece by piece,coming up with small stories as I go along,” Jokinen
explains. “In terms of software, for this piece I used
only Photoshop, but these days more often than not
I’ll start with a 3D base created either in Modo or
Zbrush. In addition to painting in Photoshop I use
tons of photo textures to quickly establish detail and
custom shapes for happy accidents and
interesting shapes.”
