And on a side note I would just like to say Hi to all new members that joined Kingzilla.

In case you missed it

Here's something that I found in case any of you missed it. It's 25 Years of Link and Zelda along with a time laps video of the process. Amazing stuff that makes me want to practice Painter more.

Corgi Boomer


I thought he looked cute so I made him a Corgi.

Gabe Newell

I'm not sure what I'm waiting for more, Miyamoto to demonstate Link flying in the next Zelda game or Newell to demo Half life: Episode 3. Why do they make us wait like this. Anyway, here's my Gabe.


I prefer the kinda Fleischer looking scribbles I did on scrap paper more so I'm dropping that here too. Buy the way, if your gonna take quick pictures with your phone don't use a Blackberry, the quality is crap.

Gabe Newell -- Living Proof that Fat Dudes that Rock xD


Hahaha, first post! ^^ I honestly wasn't familiar with Gabe, but after learning of his involvement in the upcoming sequal to Portal, I had to contribute something.

I usually work old school--starting with a sketch in mechanical pencil (light, easy to erase), and then use acrylic paint to color in layers starting with the back, coming forward. I think this came out decent considering my recent suckage at attempting to draw men :P

BOOMER!

I used the E3 2010 sony presentation as reference and a bit more like he's the boomer from L4D.

not quite the boomer theme, but it's fattening, Chocolate Helicopter.

Crap-kuma


not particularly happy with this Akuma sketch, but I don't want to abandon it. Any pointers before I go forward?

Caricature - Gabe Newell


okay for my first request, I'd like to loosen up with a caricature of Gabe Newell.

Former member of Microsoft and then went onto his own to find Valve which now recently stated they are more valuable then Google or Apple.


Not by any strech of the imagination as the most attractive man in the world, he is the reference model of the Boomer in Left 4 Dead.

He has a good sense of humor, so I don't think there is anything horrible you can make him look like... because he's way ahead of us.




By the way download the Neotokyo mod, lots of fun playing a cyber Punk Mod with EXCELLENT music. A bit closer to counter strike, which I'm not a fan of, but it's got an excellent art direction, interesting new mechanics that feels straight out of Ghost in the Shell without fukuchimas.

I'm debating about buying Portal 2 on PS3, but like I've never seen a successful steam launch ever, so it will be amusing to see PS3 owners see how HORRIBLE it will launch. Check out this interesting presentation he gave to a high school class, very interesting honest about the industry.

Hey newbies!

If you come across any informative art related links or something blindingly cool that you feel the need to share, be sure to tag the post with the "reference" label so others can find them easily later on.

side note: Red White was kind enough postpone his turn to choose the Jam theme so Crithon will be deciding the next topic. I'll post up a rota-thingie after this Jam so people know when it's their turn to choose everyone's poison.

Dejah Thoris

First time posting on the group, hope you enjoy

well here's my work process
Never read princess of mars, I was using Frazetta and Art Adams as influences

I went really fast into coloring, had a quick idea how I wanted to lay down the composition. The idea is she's petting her banth that's sensing an enemy coming soon.

A bit closer to the final piece, still didn't know how to make her react to the approaching threat, and her head dress is design to look like a frazetta painting.

and some nice close ups



it was fun to work on this

Dejah Thoris W.I.P

Dejah Thoris says sit down!

I got a nasty malware virus yesterday that gave me a Blue Screen of Death battle. I beat it like the super soldier I am but my Thoris picture was a casualty saved only in a flattened state. I manged to salvge most of the image but I'll go back to go back and fix it later on.
