Seeing as my last few topics here have all been unfairly locked / deleted, I expect a similar fate will befall this one. Karma strikes like a fart in a church.

Anyway, I think this image is probably the best thing I've made thus far. It's still polished crap, but unlike alot of stuff, I'm actually proud of this one.

It actually came out looking like HOW I WANTED IT TO LOOK.
How often does that happen? Never, I tells yah.

I realize the wee figure standing in the....."eyelight" (?).......is kinda hard to see. Probably should have just done a full-color figure instead of a little silhouette blobby guy on such a dark backround with no backlighting. Oh well. Can't fix that now. Other than that, I am quite happy with this. So tear it to shreds. Ovaltine is much better than Quick. I'm sorry but it needs to be said.

QUIT LIVING A LIE, NESTLE.

Ditto. and the highlighting is spot on.
If I had to crit it tho, I'd expect the lightend grass to be right underneath the figure if he's looking at it. Grass patch is mint, tho. Great stuff

It reminds me of the Beetlejuice cartoon a bit.

Very awesome, but one question;
What did you use to highlight the grass? (Photoshop brushes?)

Thats awesome! I really like the crazy facial expression of the big guy, and i like the lights coming out of his eyes. Nice work, Zekey.

Response to Skull...thing.... 2007-05-22 11:03:45


Looks good, i guess if i had to be picky the cast shadow of the figure with the bright light on him should have harsher edges and tones on it. If the bright is so strong it should make a very defined shadow of him as a result, the hazy shadow right now is conflicting.

love the color palette.

I really like this picture.

The beams from his eyes actually created a sound effect in my head.

Sort of like the noise Hypnotoad makes in Futurama.

Well done.

Of course, another great pic by Zekey. (Which are, too be quiet rude, WAY better then his Flash movies)

I liked the highlight eyes, and the colouring of the grass.
Clouds would've looked better if darker.

You know whats great about it, you cant tell what software you used. It looks like flash yet its also like photoshop. Most of the time its easy to tell what software a piece was made in

Savour the moment, it only happens every so often and I can certainly relate.

Loving the painting. Very nice blend of lights and darks.
