VFX Artists & Resources

About this list

Studios, blogs and personal portfolios

These are the external artist links gathered alongside the Lejbs projects. Each one points to an independent studio site or personal blog maintained by a matte painter or environment artist, and is included as a reference for technique and process.

Links open the artists' own websites; everything else on this page stays on Lejbs.

Lejbs is the portfolio of a painter and digital artist whose work spans matte painting, environment design, cityscapes, skies and futuristic concept pieces. Alongside finished paintings, the site documents the working process — studies, work in progress pieces, color and light experiments, and personal projects — offering a look at how an image is built up from first sketch to final frame. The emphasis is on atmosphere: layered color, controlled light, and the quiet detail that makes a landscape feel inhabited.

The artists and resources section gathers a curated set of visual effects artists, studios and independent blogs that are worth studying for matte painting and compositing workflows. Each entry points outward to someone else's site, but the intent is inward-facing: to expose the methods, references and behind-the-scenes thinking that shape the work shown across the Lejbs portfolio. Environment design, personal process write-ups and showreels are treated as study material rather than as an endorsement.

Beyond the gallery, the site includes news, trainings, books and a showreel, giving the practice a broader context. Film and stills, photography and sketchbook fragments sit next to digital paintings, and framed works appear as a natural extension of the studio output. Readers who arrive through the paintings often continue into the process notes, and readers who arrive for the process tend to stay for the finished images — the two halves of the site feed one another in that way.
