Sorry for posting such a small update on the Surf bum zombie above. Felt i needed to add a bit more detail to the face....So i did

StephenVyas: Like your idea of having him a bit shark nibbled. Might do something along those lines in future. A zombie shark would be cool acttually....hmmm..

I plan to do a series of zombies and I also have been sitting on an idea for a zombie comic which I hope one day I will be able to share with the world. It has a nice twist to the usual zombie infection that I think will be a nice change...but i aint telling.... :P

lol, That's awesome. I didn't say it.. but I was thinking Zombie shark the whole time when I was writing that post.
Do it

Cheers Stephen. Expect a lot more zombies in future and some of them might well be sharks or other animals.

In the meantime. Here's a mock up Woodland sketch. I plan to use this as the backdrop for a piece I've been thinking about for a while now. I'll not say too much yet but it involves a meeting between two of the Seasonal Spirits. They are lovers, but can only meet once every "blue moon" or "when the planets are in alignment"...I'll decide more of the back story as the piece takes shape anyway.

Time: 2hrs

Really like what im seeing so far/

ey man, water and rock is really nice
maybe on the foliage try mixing up the hue of your green a bit, think that would bring out some more depth- just splash some colours on a subtle overlay or hue layer mebes?
anyway, lookin good

Cheers FlyByKnight and Roo

Here's a WIP image i'm doing for this week's CHOW over at CA.org

Gone for a graphic novel approach. Thought i'd post it here and get some feedback before i finish it off.

An update to the Fairy image.

I needed to make her younger. Anyway. here tis

Really like how this is looking.

Thanks FlyByKnight

K...finished it. Had to rush it a bit for the deadline. So the presentation and backdrop isn't very good.

See all the other entries here:

Sup Stinger,

It's a valid entry. Can say it's a good piece, but you did it - start to finish.

Anyway. I'll keep my same argument again. Why don't you invest more in your linework? I mean...choose specific pieces to work with shaders and other with more simpler ones.
I love the first pic you post (the ones with lines and solid colors) - considering some mistakes you have to avoid (hiding hands, per example). It's a very good linedrawing that could be fit better in a graphic novel context, like the contest demands.

Anyway. The shading in the last piece isn't bad at all. But I'd choose the first style to keep working on.

If is your style/wish to work like that. That's fine. I think mostly of the modern comics are done this way. But in the next time try to work more in light/shadows contrasts (your is too flat), color palette and composition (the egg could glow in green, per example, claiming attention).

Wow. Hope you absorb something of this.

Keep going Stinger.

Hey Dado. Great feedback man, Thanks

I agree and absorbed it heartily.

I started the piece with something in mind and it changed into something totally different. Kinda lost my way with it and thats clear to see. And because I want to finish quickly I tried to cut corners...Laziness. In being lazy I gave my self more work tbh. I intend to keep things looser in future until I get the basis right.

Which brings me to...

DAN DA DA DAN DAN DA DAN! (fanfare)

ARTRAGE 3!!!!! (demo, get it now!)

played around with the watercolour and markers a bit as these are the tools I was most looking forward to trying out.

Bare in mind that my watercolour techniques are very amatuer in real media..so I didn't really know the theory for the blending and such...but I intend to learn.

All I can say is...Wow...I'll be buying this!

Back to some modelling.

ZBrush 3.5r3 is my new weapon of choice. And its bloody good.

Messing around with Grouploops

Nice bug, I find your speed paintings very inspiring. I've just started to get into speed painting and matte painting I recommend taking a look at some of Hatch FX works, they've done a lot of paintings for big films and games.

Thanks JaySmitt .

I must admit i hadnt heard of HatchFX. Brilliant stuff!. One studio that has been my main inspiration is Steambot Studios. Check them out if you havent heard of them. They recently published a book called Exodyssey. Which is just massive ammounts of awesomeness.

Anyway. Sorry for the lack of updates recently. Havent really been feeling very creative. Hopefully I can get back on with it now. I did this quick sketch which is for CA's C.O.W. # 171-Giant Amphibious War Beast. I havent really stuck to the brief on this one..but i thought it would be fun.

Hope you like it anyway

lol that last piece is great would be better on a pile of skulls in an african town or something instead of just a gradient

Thanks Ged. He is meant to be swimming tbh. Or should I say sinking coz that gun would drag him straight down...Anyway. Yep Skulls n that would look good.

Anyhoo...Onward

Did another "Giant Amphibious War Beast" (Unfinished as well)
