Cgtalk Daily Sketch 11 : "FRIENDLY ZOMBIE"

[Garma]

I was working on this piece when the next topic was announced, and this fitted the topic quite well. I tried to give the zombie an expression on his face but he turned out too damn small :banghead:

anyway, this took a little longer as normal (I guess 4 hours or st) but it's also my best DSG entry so far :p So crit away if you want, it's great to receive crits

[edit] here's the large version (1024*768). Expression is a little better visible (http://csr.oli.tudelft.nl/huizen/hg/portfolio/2d/images/themask.jpg)

Wow. Great work Garma. Your stuff has really changed recently and gotten a lot more moody. I don't know whether your style has changed or you always did stuff like this and are just showing it more now. Good work on the lights and shadows. Keep it up.

Kind of rushed this ,since the footies just started , GO ON THE FRENCH (can you tell im from Scotland :) )

Hey Garma this is definetly your best piece! :applause:

so here are some crits. Moonlight isvery cold so you could make
the sky more blue. I can see that you added some blue shadow
on the left side of the trees. That's actually good!
Now where is the red light coming from? Is it a torch in front of
the head? If it is so you can sharpen the shadows more.
Fire has dark sharp shadows.
The background environment could be more blue because of
the blue sky. The light of the torch wouldn't reach the horizon.

You could add saturated orange highlights in the face. Remember
that the lightest areas are those facing the lightsource directly.
There are no highlights in the face yet.

hope this helps.

again great improvement!

here is a quick one from me. Not really satisfied with.
Photoshop wacom 1h

@J_Grieve
ROFLMAO That is a great concept!
Too bad it looks a bit rushed... but a great idea :)

[neednoname]

I'm excited that you guys like it, loads of thanks guys :)

I'm actually practicing very much to improve, and I also asked some profs for advice on technical approaches and these certainly help a lot :)

Zzacmann: My style definately changed the past few days, it's another approach. :) I still need to find out how it will turn out with daylight scenes, but that's probably more practicing. thanks a lot. Your work is very inspiring.

Goro: crits from you mean a lot to me. I will certainly keep them in mind. Thanks again! The idea was to create a very dark (unnatural dark) forest behind the foreground but I should've added some more dark trees I guess. The light was indeed meant to be some sort of torch/fire. I'll sharpen the shadows next time

Actually a lot of crits I receive go straight into a doc file for later reference.

Allright, time to repay :)

J_Grieve: lol, cool concept
Goro: Great work again. It's fun to see how you use art principles I've just been reading about in a book I bought.

neednoname: cool, but isn't it weird that his pants still look that good after X years underground? ;)

Even Zombies love children... perhaps only for their gooey brains.

I actually read, "My friendly zombie" and what else would you do but bring your zombie buddy to school with you? S'posed to be a soccer ball on zombie's jersey. Drums, soccer and Audrey Hepburn movies, Bonzo. Dat's wut zombies like best. ;)

[drawMonger]

i'm sorry...friendly or not, the only good zombie is a dead zombie...

Little qualifier, since it may be a touchy subject for some... just a jab at the media for having a 8 day, one-track-mind... The commentator is not really a zombie, just been awake way too long covering the same thing. :thumbsup:

Cheers

[haysuess]

Gosh I suck...this is my first attempt at sketching anything in about a year...and my first work posted on the forum. Hope you don't laugh at it as much as I did, unless you are laughing in a good way or something...

[buzzz3d]

Ilikesoup and animation angel: Very funny

made in uterus: Ilike it very much. Maybe you can make him a little more green so ít's more obvious that it is a zombie.

RobertoOrtiz: Good idea.

Bonzo: Funny.

Nothing particularly zingy, but posting here helps reduce the feeling that I've wasted too much time :thumbsup:

2 Hours, PS.

Great work from all, particularly Matthew-S. Get that zombie some roadies and a bucket of chronic. Looks like he's moping in a corner. :cry:

There needs to be an Expose Sketch Edition. Andale!

Nice one, ravioli. Zombie circus?
