Esta es la primera informacion que tenemos del agente secreto desaparecido, el arma que lleva, un compa?ero eliminado, y la primera imagen encontrada con su rostro.

these are the latest clues we got from long time missing Secret Agent, about the gun he owns,about his dead partner, and there?s also a picture of his face.

Agent F83

Hi, My name is Mariano
sorry for my bad english!
I Want to tell my 2d idea for ?secret agent?.I do not have long time, but I have the idea to work on an intimate scene, maybe in the bathroom with a punched (o strucked?) agent looking himself in the mirror. Most of all present a tired and old working man. I believe that it always does not concern that type of agent he is, is a cop, that return dirty and tired to him home.
My inspirations are Blade Runner for the scene and climax, and Bruce or Arnold to be the agent character.

Les queria contar mi idea para Secret Agent. Voy a hacer una escena intima de la vida del agente en su ba?o quizas mirando su cara golpeada.
Mis inspiraciones son Blade Runner para el clima y Bruce Willis o Arnold para el personaje...

saludos y mucha suerte!!

Yo, I like your idea man, you probably wouldnt believe it but I actually did a very quick speedpaint a long while ago to that exact idea you're goin for :eek:

but I am lookin forward to how you take this idea, because everybody does it their own way :thumbsup:

and I mosty certainly like your inspiration, love all them dudes. I can see a McClane style character in this situation you thinkin of, perhaps not Arnie though.

Good luck, work hard, not too long left.

[marianof83]

Thanks for your feedback!
It means a lot to me!....
Ill be posting new progress pretty soon!

Two new Sketches,
The Pose of Punched Agent, and where he lives.
Agent will be like McClane, a rude man, living alone, in a messy and untidy apartment.

Hola! un nuevo boceto, el agente secreto y su departamento. El agente sera como McClane, un hombre duro viviendo solo en un desordenado y sucio apartamento.

Hey Mariano,

Cool idea, I like a lot the tech noir atmospheres. Your sketch looks really nice. Good luck and waiting for more updates! Cheers!! :beer:

( Muy buen concepto Mariano. Me gusta la idea del agente en un ambiente futurista estilo Blade Runner. Creo que le debes dar un pequeño giro a la idea, no se , el agente viendo la foto de su ex esposa, o algo asi :D algo que cuente un poco de historia en la imagen. Sólo un comentario :) Buena suerte!)

[marianof83]

This is just a sketch, still working on the final image. I definitely thought of adding details that would show a little bit more about secret agent's personal life and story...
Wait and see!!;)


(gracias, Buena onda encontrar palabras en español.
Sobre la imagen, es mas bien un boceto, mas adelante pondre mas detalles que contaran mas sobre la vida personal del agente secreto;).)

This is a more refined and final version of my work I've been working on the last 2 days! I added some elements that could help to figure out a little bit more about secret agent's personal life and story. Also added cool pattern on the ceiling, and details all over, in order to create a futuristic atmosphere.!

Hope you like it!

Hi everybody!
I?m changing my technique because my work looks very blurred, and looses contrast, but mainly because my original idea was to accomplish a rusty image. This way, secret agent is looking way too airbrushed, almost as if his face was made of rubber... jaja!

your comments are welcome
marianof83

[Randis]

I like the perspective a lot, looks very good!
Tho i feel the head is very large, i am not sure if you try to make it big because of the spherical distortion or because you want a more cartoony look.
Wish you good luck for the contest! cheers!

[marianof83]

Hi!
thanks!
oh, the head I made big because for the spherical distortion.
maybe I would resize it (a little bit... jaja):wavey:

Thanks!

Hi.
Finally... done.
I had a tough day, No Internet connection (aahhhrrgggg!!).
I ended up adding some color in order to recreate a less dark (yet dramatic)
atmosphere.My original idea of having a monochromatic image is still there, but the slight color detail lightenes up the situation, and contrasts with the sarcastic style of the story I had in mind.

I want to thank my wife for being my muse, helping me with the story and the concept, and critizising my work in order to improove.
And I want to dedicate it to my son Lahuen.

Here is the story -------

"The set up"

Secret Agent has a high profile mission: finding and killing super millionaire drug dealer Franky Juana, in a snobby part at the high society Foxy Club.
In the middle of the night, a stoned chick interruptes Secret Agent?s work by scratching her deadly nails on his face very badly, because he unintendedly confuses her with a man. So, he decides to drop by his house, tired of the whole situation, changing his tux and fixing his face.
Although he knows he has to come backquickly to the party in order to get the job done, he starts to hesitate...
Who was this chick? ...Why did she look like a man?...
Why the hell am I doing this, if I'm retired?
Then it all comes clear to him. Famous Drag Queen Lady Kitty Mary, a long time friend of Franky?s, had set him up! The scratching was just a distraction!
Now he is alone, unarmed, wounded, trapped in his house... and, apparently, he has company...
Will this moment of awareness save his life?
Will everybody discover his true nature now that?s not wearing that damned tux?
Will his family suffer collateral damage?


Just breathe, old man...Just breathe.

Excelenteee, los toques de color finales quedaron muy bien, felicitaciones (a lo bien que te quedo y a que llegaste a terminarlo a tiempo).
Una pena que se pierda un poco el detalle al verlo chiquito, igual esta de 10, me gusto el agregado en el espejo y la historia final.

Congrats!

Thanks man!

Hi Everybody.!

Hope you like it

[chilombiano]

Esta muy bueno el trabajo final, Mariano. Con much estilo.

Como te habia comentado antes me parece que el trabajo de lineas que tenias por si solo era ya muy interesante y que si de alguna forma, superimpuestas, hicieran parte del trabajo final de pronto se veria de lujo ..en fin, una opinion personal.

Great work and good luck !

cheers

[ChaseStone]

I really like how this came out especially the fish eye effect you got. Its a nice touch having the killer's reflection in the mirror

[dagoth2001]

hey
Great concept nice illumination i like the mood of the scene....

Excelente diseño... la paleta de colores es bastante fria como una pelicula "noir"
buena suerte

[marianof83]

Thanks everyone!

chilombiano: Thanks for your opinion!. I decided changing some lines and adding other details on the last minutes. My original idea was to use the sketch as a guide, but I didn´t want the final image to look like a comic strip. That´s why I refined it ...
Gracias por tu opinion, mi idea original era usar ese sketch como una base, pero en ningun momento pense terminarla como un comic ,de todas maneras creo que tu propuesta es genial y la voy a probar!.:)

Chase: I appreciate your comment, thanks!

Dagoth: Thanks man!. Gracias, me alegra que te haya gustado la imagen!.

so... I tried to post a bigger version of the image but I can´t. sorry all!:sad:
