..while pollution and radiotion made mans fertility even less productive, they tried hard to make up for the loss with new machinery.

donnu if this will be the concept ill use....

[Pyke]

Let me just say that I LOVE your drawing style....

[flyingP]

Hmmm.. stiff competition:D , sorry couldn't help myself.

Great drawing, and I'll second Pike, I love the style. :thumbsup:

[Tommy Lee]

That is definitly not a hanger...:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Cheerz

Tommy Lee

[hdri]

I love your style, and your brush talent! Don't you think that the device should be a bit lower? It is now emerging from the womb. Anyway, I hope you find a richer concept...

[flyingP]

Update !!!! :bounce: :bounce: :D

[Shinwa]

I think hdri has a valid point...and I just have to say this is a hilarious concept. Okay....and that Freud would be disappointed at how blunt?? this is? Lol

I like your use of shading and You could do some great things with perspective and scenery with this.

..have put a litle more tech into the character...im worried though, that the pic will end up just being a Character...gotta find out some story or something..BTW thx Flying there for getting me do some work:)

[flyingP]

And I am glad I am getting to see it, Man I love your style. :thumbsup: :bounce:

[EmpY]

[Haven]

Wicked!

Nothing else to say. :thumbsup:

[Sketch23]

This is very original. I love his pose. Just sharpen it up a bit.

[neble]

Great style. Good eye direction too. Are you planning to do the image in color?

[Frood]

I'm not a fan od big gun, but this one could be humorous and interresting. I wanna see more.
But man, seriously your sketches are great!

:applause:

[vincentvv]

..thx for replys:)
Yes im thinking about doing some color...maybe some red´ish

[flyingP]

Mate, got your PM, you might want got have a look in your PM in box. :)

[drnknmnky]

:bowdown: respect :bowdown:

hi vincent_v

this piece is great . especially the technique u´re working with.
that´s for me the definition of STYLE ..

the bluriness at some spots and the shilouette of ur character
are..:thumbsup:

Keep it UP .......greetz from aachen, germany :wavey:

[bonestudio]

Very nice concept ! for a sppedpainting it's great !!! a bit blurry... but oyu have a good result anyway

[vincentvv]

Tried some color....what color does metal have, greyish hmmm...

[flyingP]

Quite like the rusty red tones, nice to see some more detail creeping in here too.

PS. you might want to clean out your PM inbox as well, I can't reply to you at the moment because it's full :)

[grafik]

you're doing great man! you're character is very well done, are considering a background, i thinh you should, it will put more to your work. great work! the colors are well chosed.

[LEEBLEEB]

This is a great idea, I like the stance hes in makes it stand out even more.:thumbsup:

[RLyons]

Kick arse, love your style, keep it coming.:bounce:

[rept0r]

Absolutly great color shading the concept idea is great either

[vincentvv]

add`ed some ..and tried a new face...

[viag]

oh ! nice render and great colors , good work , i want more :buttrock:

[Squibbit]

I liked the previous face better

don't mean to sound too nasty , but this
one .. you could add a swinging baseball bat behind it :)

[flyingP]

Hmmm.... just my own opinion but I actually preferred the first pose, just feel it conveyed the concept better. :shrug:

[vincentvv]

Hmmm dammit.... i felt like the last one had a small touch of Enki Bilal( one of my favorits)...maybe ill try a third one, i growed a bit tired of the first pose...
How many days yet?
:surprised

One really should get started on some background...

But thx guys for replys...almost better then chances of actually wining some of that stuf- is the participation in theese forums..all that talent sharing thoughs about their works...me like..:)
...but ok, that wacom thingie....and those gnomon dvd:drool: (Ya dream on Frede)

[Shinwa]

I hope this helps!!

A - metal, metall will always have a white point... as it will always have a black point.... Granted, not exactly depending on what you choose to do with it, for instance rust or mold ;}. But very lights and very darks side by side are how it will work. Check out your pots and pans in different lighting. That or a doorknob, or silverwear or something.

B- I think the reason -I- am drawn to the first pose is the ammount of contrast you have in that one comparatively. The second one is more dulled down.

C- just a flight of fancy...but have you considered a gun showdown between him, another man, with a woman in between or standing by?? hehe

GOOD WORK!!! I can't wait to see what you do!:bounce: :bounce:

[EmpY]

Hmm, yes, I'm with them.
If you posted the second as first I think I would not
be drawn to it with the same impressions.
Just my thoughts, no harm done :) and it is up to you.

:beer:

[vincentvv]

..new pose..and now with more colors and some testingbackground..
His face is now more dum/evil then before...Actually i had some small mechanic fairys ind mind, maybe working on creatures mechanic parts, but im not sure theyll match this face..
..Probably ill do another face makeover..

The colors are madewith different color layers smashed together, and then i have used a erasertool, bringing out the colors beneath...
Layers can be good, i think guys like Rembrandt actually worked with simular technic. Lots of small layers with very litle opacity...

And thx alot for ideas and critiq.

[flyingP]

Now that I like!! :bounce: :bounce: :cool:

[Squibbit]

yea , haha , good one :)

[vincentvv]

U guys into dum/evil faces?
:surprised

haha..thx, what a relief, sat most off the night...and actually u right about that anoying sunligt Flying...as soon that sun rised i couldtn see dick on my screen

[Squibbit]

it's not the face , it's how the face fits the pic .

like now it looks like the dude in the pic is like insanely
happy about having crafted that thing into its midsection


i dunno ...that's one weird pic u got there , hehe

[flyingP]

Originally posted by vincent_v

Actually I was more or less referring to the overall picture, i.e. figure, background etc etc it's coming together real nice, but yeah this face is pretty cool, but then so was the last one, ahh whatever this guy says it all >>> :buttrock:

[vincentvv]

QUOTE]is like insanely happy about having that thing...[/QUOTE]

Ya that he is...but im abit worried though...what use it will have placed on this guy?
maybe one should paint a pink heart at the gun, and give him a tatoo saying MOM?
..or mayb e that would just make the thing more weird..hmmm

[vincentvv]

whau nice quoting there

[rept0r]

I need say that is getting better and better the color shading already gives a great mood for the pic i am waiting for the end of this piece it already look a masterpiece, keep your style and your work.

[EmpY]

:scream: , me like, me like!!!!

Not sure about the wall only.




:bounce:

[Shinwa]

I would skip the wall...unless you can show depth over it....
I think an ugly face would be a great contrast to fearies - Depending on how you paint them...

I think this technique works well for you...AND...I like the ideas of paintings on his "machinery" just because it reminds me of the world wars and the paintings on the jets and naming of them...

;} It is an amusing play on that.


The wall however is done well so far ;} and this one is looking good.:applause:

[skunk184]

A beautiful piece of artwork !!! my favourite in the 2D section ... I am wondering why a man with such a huge mechanical penis is so angry though :P ...I cant wait to see him finished

[Virtuoso]

Vincent B.................I wanted to stop by and give you props on an intense and stylish piece of work.............Go with what you have here to the end........It's excellent in style and mood,very much an insane piece of work,cool colors and feel,one of the best here in the challenge,and anywhere for that matter.............:buttrock: :buttrock:

[vincentvv]

...ur words warm my heart...thx guys...
and thx for stopping by 2D section to u 3D guys:)

[lulaassassina]

powerfull image u got there, pal...

Keep it up, I'm amazed with your work.

[JamesMK]

Well club me with a dead goat and fly me to Venezuela!!

uh...

I absolutely love this guy! :scream: Can't figure out why I haven't checked it out before (several hints have been available though.... o_O)

The duel is on! :D Only clubbing... M'kay... let me just build a bigger right-hand drill first...

Keep doing whatever it is you are doing, this is just great - expressive, hairbrainy, dramatic... waaaaay up my ... uh... alley!

[Virtuoso]

Looking for an update.................Your surreal stylish work has got me wanting more.............Hope to see more soon,excellent design and style Vincent..............Now more updates are needed..................;)

:cool: :beer:


By the way I saw your PM..................Check your PM box,I sent you one back................:beer:

[londero]

Great style.

your job is fantastic! Great colors!:bounce:

[hdri]

Hey, Frederik: I do love your technique and your style. Your pics are some of the best I've seen in the Challenge. But I dare to suggest just two things, that, IMO, could help to reach a winning pic:
First: the lack of detail on the legs doesn't help the comp, becouse at first sight you unconsciosly try to find them, and you may mistake the mech device with a sort of leg.
Second: I would try to work on the dropped shadow on the wall, so it doesn't look so flat; I mean, further objects drop bigger and softer shadows.
Go ahead with the pic, it is great!

[Snotblow]

Very nice rendering so far.

[Waldek]

haha cool concept, i really enjoy your style of work, one of my favorites so far, keep up the good work.

[JamesMK]

Listen to the crowd, Frederik! We all want to see something more here soon - you have such an excellent piece of work in the making here.... it needs you to work a little more on it... you've got the skillz!

[vincentvv]

Ouch Thanx alot guys...
Will start working again toNIGTH
Last couople of days has been reserved my 2 kids:)

Lots of updates to catch up with, lots og replys to write...:)

[spacesnail]

Wow, I've just discovered your work.
It seems that even if you 2 children, you still have time for creation. Keep on working, this picture is really amazing.

[londero]

Hei man, your job is amazing.

Keep the nice job!!! :thumbsup:

depends on the puter....how much Contrast there is need for...on this Flat screen its totaly black with contrast

[sketchfiend]

I love the style of the work, for your first wip to you most recent its great to see your development, its almost as though your characters biological parts are corroding away and the metal is what remains. Very cool indeed, i look forward to more.

Have you got anything in mind for the inclusion of a detailed background or is the character and his body your primary focus?

[Virtuoso]

Stylish,surreal,special....................:buttrock: :buttrock:


As for any suggestions...................Well i would still go for a less ocntorted,or misshapen head,a balance more of your first WIP's and this latest...........Either way some of the best here or anywhere.......................:thumbsup: :beer:

[Luter]

HI Vince !:wavey:

Always a lot of soul. I can just repeat myself....I likelove the way you paint/draw the fleshh, very organic and "living" with balance btw specularity & contrast, as the balance btw blur & ( f......^§$!!!!! what's the term in englishhhhhhhhhhhhhhh) anyway I think tou understand me. Same comment for the machine pieces...:bounce: :applause:

You're a source of inspiration guy, really. Very personnal and by the way...unique, 'hope you to win.:p

[vincentvv]

:bowdown: :bowdown:
Thx u two of my top 5 favorits...
Virtu: reason for new head is that some ppl had difficulty to see what whas what:)
Gnoli: Weird... actualy i hope ull win hahaha

[vincentvv]

Oh sketch fiend: sorry only looked at the bottom:)
Background is killing me because of the difficulty of balancing pic off....background can sort of makes char disapear....even shadows on a wall makes difficulty allready....
BUT was thinking on woman EITHER been shooted up...with wires and grids out of holes OR woman repairing and stuff on guys gun:)

[flyingP]

Really?? :curious:
But what the hell this one's good too :)

[vincentvv]

Thx there Flying ....
The thing bending backward from the head....some ppl think its a arm.
I would rather describe it as a chimney of some sort...

BTW...how close are u finishing up in %?

[flyingP]

>>>The thing bending backward from the head....some ppl think its a arm.

Ohh OK now I see what you mean, maybe if you put the other arm back in, it might be a bit clearer.

>>>BTW...how close are u finishing up in %?

not quite sure what you mean there :surprised

[artjunkie]

Great style and beautifully twisted design! I am kept in awe by the amount of talent I see on this forum. Keep it up!!! :applause:

[vincentvv]

Flying---> think i mean something like, how much more work ull need before ur piece is finsihed; think mine is about 75%finished
Urs looks, hmmm like 85 or so... maybe more. And awesome to...but u know how i feel about ur skills/work
Would link ur pic here:
"Flying P`s awesome underwater Bot"
(if i knew how to do so) hahaha

[flyingP]

Oh I see with then 0%, I have a few thoughts, but feel the more I end up playing around with it the more I'll ruin it, and anything I'd add would be minor, that's the time to stop :)

[vincentvv]

Yep its not always that "more" is better

[flyingP]

exactly, so don't feel to pressured with the background, at least not to the point that the character suffers, "personally" I have found solutions you have done so far to be adequate.......just go with what you feel Frederik, it's bound to kick ass

[JamesMK]

Well... whaa? Damn, man... Everything you submit just makes me so totally blown away... Spot on, full coolness, great and beyond... Not to mention that those things you mentioned about cropping and stuff... it works... I've started playing with some 2D too... I suck, but those things you said actually works....

Get kicking! Finish the damn thing. Doesn't matter which pose or character you go with, because it's going to be a bloody masterpiece no matter what.

That is the official truth.

[vincentvv]

james MK: makes me feel hmmmmm:)
Go forit ( with that 2d, maybe well switch places in next contenst)

[Virtuoso]

More......................Just do your thing.You got the skills,just let it flow........................More ,less,who is counting,just let it happen.....................looking forward to the next artwork very much........................:buttrock: :cool:

[EmpY]

Bloody Cool!!!
Background???- I can only wish you make one,
with your skills and style, heh..
Kikc A** stuff:thumbsup:

[duddlebug]

I've sadi this before (pre-hackers)...but I love your painting style...

And i find the whole idea of this big gun jutting out where most men have a penis kinda funny.

I find the thing on his back kinda confusing though. It looks like his other arm twisted around his back (because his head is jutted uncomfortably forawrd and you can't see the other arm).

The technique and style is spot on though...

[ninosboombox]

good ideas, dope technique,

[flyingP]

adding his other arm helped Frederik at least I don't think there should be no more confusing that part on his back with his arm....are planning to add anything more in that space on the right by the way ????

[vincentvv]

Really thinking flying....maybe a woman running. maybe another man with same atachment. Maybe just some junk adding som space and depth into the scene....but im still very much in doubt:/

Earlier i was thinkin shooted up`ed woman...but ..erhmf didnt really worked....

[Luter]

That the force be with you, vincent_v friend ...:lightbulb :twisted: :lightbulb

[brunowerneck]

wow,

obscure, exotic unique style. Very well lit too. Looks like stop-motion figures.

experimenting a bit with some komposition....sry for the darknes in pic

[vincentvv]

BTW...love u guys...may u ALL win:)

[hephez]

Wooow!!!:eek:

[flyingP]

:surprised :D hehe certainly gives it a bit more depth, although still looks a bit empty/undefined somehow.
what happened to that bit on his back by the way?

[vincentvv]

Maybe ill add again....had trouble making those two char "blend" in a composition, match each other somehow....still very sketchy and i can not make a final decision yet...
Will try maybe and add some more "Junk"
:)

[Luter]

It's Art.


I love you.



:bounce: Would you marry me ? :bounce:


...........................:D ...................................


(do not worry....:hmm: )

[Luter]

I do not want to crit your admirable work.

I don't have the skills to.

[sketchfiend]

I dont mind the new positioning of things but it definately leaves a lot of empty space... Are you still going to have the woman mechanic fixing his MANHOOD!!

The pose with his back turned isnt as effective but still awesome, but when i saw it it made me laugh becuse it makes it look as though he is playing with himself in a corner somewhere...LOL:surprised :blush: hehehe

But definately keep the first pose, it looked awesome the first time through, and i would definately like to see a female mechanic fixing him as you previously mentioned. I think it would complete the space on your canvas better. But keep your detailed simplicity, its what makes your style work.

Your definately one of my faves, keep it going.:thumbsup:

[JamesMK]

I love it! It's like a couple of confused groin-gun zombies just woke up, and they are aimlessly walking around trying to understand what they are supposed to be doing with those machines.... An interesting depth added as well.

Ace. :bounce:

[Jung Han Kim]

great style! :applause: i like your mood and lighting.

[vincentvv]

Thx guys...u make me blush
ill really thinking about ur ideas about filling out canvas..sketch, trouble with the woman is...she have to be very small somehow, not drawing attention away from main char and towards the woman...Have tried the woman thing out and its very difficult...

goli...of course i will mary you...but first we have to find the million$ for that plastik surgery, there will turn u into Pamela Anderson.
BTW...about ur skills??
( ANYBODY WHO READS THIS GO AND LOOK AT GOLI`S ART, AND PLZ TELL HIM THAT HE HAS MASTERWORK SKILLS)
hehe
I would have linked but dont no how?

James Mk always a new point off view, so refreshing!!!
Thx:)
Love ur bunnyworks keep em up

[spacesnail]

I would like to write something more smart and briliant than ... ouch... oh my! ...:banghead:

My eyes are burning for seeing too long your picture.

It smells like another winning picture.:love:

Not many days to go....so im really going to start detail and color work now....

[JamesMK]

So, the detail-level work doesn't seem to disappoint either.

Dammit, I'm not kidding when I say that your stuff continues to knock me out everytime... I just can't believe what I'm seeing. So, I guess it's official: you've got a real fan-boy on your tail now... hide your women and lock the door properly before you go to bed :D

Jokes aside, DAMN you're good at this stuff. :bowdown:

[vincentvv]

u make blush there...Serious...Sad thing u are a rabbit and not a good looking woman...
But thx alot...

Next time u are joining 2D aswell as 3D..Deal?

[JamesMK]

Trust me, if I was a woman, I'd look like shit :D so you're not missing out on anything here

That aside, hmm, maybe I'll give the 2D challenge a go next time - but then you have to enter the 3D ditto!

[vincentvv]

Whoaa

My 3d skills is non exisisting:D
But...of course no one said anything about makin GOOD stuf hahaha

[paulwdavidson]

Cool work vincent_v.....!

Thanks for having a look at my drawing.

You have everything in your concept that gives it that nightmarish quality.....i think you should talk to Clive Barker....he may commission you to do some concepts on his next project!!!

Good luck

And guess what...Ive just talk with Dave ( it's not easy, you know, sometimes you are speaking to a venerable old man, sometimes to a littlittle piece of pinkball flesh...arh..funny Dave)...He told me a lot of good things about your work-vision (in fact...:hmm: ...i think he would try your famous mecanism, could you sent him the plans..please)..

And btw.......One day, maybe we'll have a discussion about our respective technics and...vision :cool:

[Squibbit]

yea I'd say keep the other one

[vincentvv]

Thx techart...:)
And virtuoso---> always hoping that u have been there...commenting my pic:) Makes me very happy that a guy with such a twisted taste in art, are folowing my progress:D
( should add: Go look at Virtuoso`s tread !! It is just Unbelieveble)

[vincentvv]

Squibbit---> Ya maybe...i just think it drawd to much attention away from other stuff in pic? Like that faciel expression was the only thing one really looked at?
Or?
Im in doubt:D:D

[Virtuoso]

Soooooo surreal,sooooooo coooooooool.................Soooooooooooo one of my fav's.This is sooooooooooooooo sweeeeeeeeet that I got a toothache.Wild and so very ambiant,moody.just real art at it's finest..............:cool: :buttrock:

[vincentvv]

Thx Virtuo, now i can enjoy weekend with my kids:D

[Luter]

It is so....what the term in english .....efficient ? effective...You need only few things...a certain balance between blur and .(grrr).you know what .. I happy you unfocused from head..i think it's better and so mor stronger like that, more mysterious...the fact that there is no identity (no clear face, with eyes etc) force to go deeply in the picture and his incredible mood..
This is absolutely great..and composition is perfect.
Btw, the back light ......i like it, and the little fog too........ this two factors ..to give (if necessary) an additionnal dimension.

Congratulations, from jupiter...My god it's full of talent....here.

Have a good week-end with your kids !

Best regards.

[EmpY]

Now it looks half man half woman (maybe it's just me),
and that's crazy, fantastic!!!
:drool:

Someday I would really be interested to hear about
your bluring metods? I want to learn...

Crazy!!:eek:

[sketchfiend]

Excellent my friend...i like your most recent update...his new head, although minimal evokes a lot of feeling.

With that plate over his eyes and that cable coming out of his head, makes me feel like hes in some wierd machine where what he sees and feels if fed to him through that cable.

Awesome work vincent my friend...keep the great work coming...i look forward to your next update.:thumbsup: :D :beer: :beer: :D

Oh, and have an awesome weekend mate!!

[vincentvv]

empy....->
Im not realy using blury tools...but rather a really low opacity airbrush...slowly painting and the blurry look comes by it self almost....then u can sharpen up edges some places if one like...

Goli---> thx.. ur absolut best reply so far....i can see we have a very similar taste in paintingmethods...and from what ur are writing it look like something is succeded...makes me so happy ...seriously
i will try makin a similar ind depth reply on ur pic....i hope it will be sometime in this weekend( i having my kids)


Cya guys in copple of days...cant wait to se what u have been doing in the weekend:D:D:D

[JamesMK]

Coolness as usual... I wouldn't say he is less expressive, it's just another kind of expression.

In fact, the overall expressivity in your stuff here is a great inspiration to me - and I'm not just saying that.... I really wish this kind of wicked wildness could be translated to 3D somehow, but alas, it is a rare thing....

Keep painting, some days left to go :bounce:

[neandertal]

I was visiting other (too many) entries and when I saw yours... Man, I have to recognize that you have a style of your own that is just strangely awesome. It's a little like Ashley Wood. Just surprising, disturbing and great ! :buttrock:

[londero]

oh...

Really, your lights are on...

Wonderful jobs here... its one of my favourites...

you are a great artist, out of question, one of my favorites!

keep with art!

force,

Londero

[rol56]

wow amazing style i wish you the best:thumbsup:

[Natethor]

Yes a original dark feel.Cool stuff!

[Friedric P]

The 3D/Global Illumination look in your picture is really UNBELIEVABLE!! It could have been made with 3DS and rendered with Mental ray or so on... :thumbsup: Excellent design and composition too...:)
Good luck!! :scream:

[Kurtzar]

Thats downright evil,too sweet.Top 5 for sure man.:thumbsup: :bounce:

[Pierrick]

You have a GREAT style !!!!

[vincentvv]

thx guys..im really apriciate ur words...ezpesially since i had to rush the finals:(

[Kredepops]

I just have to express how much I admire the style of your work too. I have honestly never seen anything like it before I saw your work on tegnebordet.dk. I showed this pict to my brother the other day, and he said 'wow, that's a really weird photograph' I actually had to explain to him that it was indeed a painting - now if that ain't a great compliment to your sense of light and proportions, I don't know what is. Eventhough the characters are fantastic and different to ordinary human anatomy, it still looks photrealistic!! And I absolutely love that!!

[JamesMK]

.........and 2-2 it was! .... this should be fun :D

[Shinwa]

Nice work man! I love your final, and I am sorry I didn't comment more when stopping by....Work started getting busy. Again, you did good, and good luck in the voting!!:applause:
