Thanks, man. I loved the style of that game, from the visuals to the soundtrack. It was ahead of its time.

Took last image and tried drawing it at a new angle for practice. I'm not really liking the high contrast lighting, but ah well.

I like everything about it. Great draw.

staci (Dec 23, 2007)

despite the contrast, seems kinda flat to me. but its impressive in terms of the perspective.

did you use the straight on ref and change the angle yourself?

Zack (Dec 23, 2007)

I think that's why I don't like the high contrast, it has a flattening, 2D-graphic effect. And yeah.

davincipoppalag (Dec 23, 2007)

Looks like a photo to me

Zack (Dec 23, 2007)

Aw, thanks. Yeah, the more good stuff we make here the more we'll inspire each other, for sure. I find that browsing through the CGSociety award galleries doesn't hurt either. ;)

Justin has some really loose works, but I prefer his tighter stuff, like this one and this one. The ideal for a concept artist is to get enough detail across for someone to make a good 3D model or get the "feeling" of a scene or character without needing all the work of a really clean finished piece (since stuff might get changed a lot or thrown out altogether), but sometimes Justin's work borders on being complicated mush.

DeadlyBlondeArcher (May 6, 2007)

HOT GUYS WITH WEAPONS!!! :) No, seriously, I see what you mean... I didn't delve far enough into his galleries to see those. I like them, as well.

Yes, I find it hard to put forth the effort to excel, or even to learn here, when the "players" outnumber the serious artists, and most of the art is silly, mindless doodling. Not that there's anything wrong with playing... you know what I mean. In a little bitty nutshell... I'm just glad you dropped in and painted something. :D

You know, I had forgotten that I love you. Fantastic mood, lighting, blah blah blah. I wish I had the patience to do architecture-y things for myself.

Great to see you back.

safescene (Dec 24, 2007)

wow, you're already acquiring adoring fans (see above). Good lighting and mood; Air'll do that to ya.

Thanks Concannon and Laura! I shall now scurry off to find previews of the recommended compact disc for listening with my ears. You always had good taste in music, Laura.

Very nicely done. I like your architecture stuff.

solve (Dec 19, 2007)

If I would have just seent he image I would have assumed it was one of klox`s works due to the colors and well made shapes. Nice view point on this location. I am a sucker for spiraling stairs and the palette you chose. Nice work : )

Trazor (Dec 19, 2007)

Thats a kewl drawing! only 41 minutes? wow... looks like it took a long time

Zack (edited Dec 19, 2007)

Thanks everyone. :] I think I went for an isometric viewpoint to make the blending between abstraction and shape-popping easier on myself. Making random structures out of the radiating lines and concentric rings emanating from a single point is an easy way to start off an interesting abstraction.

edit: Also, I love dropping in sets of stairs because you can establish a sense of scale without having any people in the picture.
