Can't see all the images because some of them break up or don't want to load... I can only see about a third of the second one.
Can't see it all but... Is the second pic thought out from me? :max: |
You did those? :blink: Wow! Totally wicked! You're a pro or something? You do this for a living?
Ok, I'm impressed :ok: LOL |
Glad you like them. I'm trying to do this for a living, but the people who get paid to do this kind of work are outrageously good at it. So i'm still getting there.
Also, some of the pictures aren't loading for me either. I'm not sure why. I'll try to re-post them from a different source. If not, you can go to www.super-zombie.com and look at them. It's my poorly designed portfolio site. |
I went over there to have a look. Great collection!
Some of the pics did not show, however, like Ackland and Damn Kids. Just thought I'd let you know. |
Ah, thanks. I'm not sure what the deal is with those pictures but I didn't know they weren't loading. I'm not much of a web guy. But I reloaded all the stuff on this thread from a photobucket, so they should work better now.. and should be a little smaller.
|
Hmmm, after seeing your gallery, I just wonder if you know this song
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCsHI19xTv0...ted&search= LOL Btw: Thanks for putting up those other pics. |
Hah! Damn! I've been figured out!
|
women in uniform are nice to look at. I like that back picture of that police women
|
looking on the topic title and the last poster above me i thought its another porn bot.
but you v got some seriously impressive curves, i like beastyfin.jpg most |
verry nicely done. although i don't like the exagerated anatomy on the first one :P
|
Impressive :)
Girls pics are my favourite ;) |
I like the screaming guy. It's Andy Warholish.
|
OMG! These are WICKED dude :ok: How come I never saw your pic in any gallery? You gotta be some art-guru or somethin.
|
Please post more :w00t:
P.S. Have you ever created pics about games? |
adult content games are not allowed on abandonia, david :P

I've been admiring the work of an artist who calls himself Prometheus. He does a lot of great artwork based directly on classic games, and I've been wanting to do more of that. And this might count: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...y_faillace.jpg <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Himmler @ Sep 16 2007, 02:38 AM) [snapback]311159[/snapback]</div> Quote:

Funny picture LOL
You talked about adults games russ...not me :whistling: (Btw XXX games aren't allowed...but not buxom police girls :P) |
Woah! And you call that "waste of your life". :blink:
I would love to waste my life in some creations as impressive as those of yours. :kosta: |
Ehy Zafo, will you participate at our Art monthly competitions? We will be glad, that's sure :)

Yeah we're still doing that, how about when you join the art department you become a reviewer as well :P
|
I haven't done much reviewing, but I'm definitely up for it.
|
+1
You could work in the graphical part of the magazine, and write reviews or something else if that leaves you enough time. Pigggy will want to enslave you and turn you into a clerk. :P |
I'm proud to announce that zafo999 is now officially working for our upcoming magazine! :brain:
So we'll have awesome artworks :ok: |
It's official! We'll all high-five later.
|
Wow.
That boneyard picture reminds me of Nausica And The Valley Of The Wind, which disturbed the hell out of me as a child. That's a great picture. Also, I really like the screaming man too Tulac. Not wasted at all :) |

Or... You could just get your self a 'dot com' or 'dot co dot where-ever you are' and write your own cartoon strips to generate interest. Add to that a 'Blog' (though I don't mean A Blog 'cause they are rubbish) I was thinking more of a Bio, perhaps. Then find a link directory, like this one http://www.uklinkexchange.co.uk/ except not for businesses, and build up some links and get the traffic moving to your site. The key here is you need them to come back and that is why I think cartoon strip stories of half-a-dozen frames would be good. Slap copyright notice over everything and, and...well I get stuck there now I am more used to making a website for work than for pleasure but I am sure you know what I mean. Oh, and most important of all, I really liked your art, very good it is and I wish I could do that too. |

Album Cover that I never got paid for. Maybe 10 months old now. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...999/rowwip.jpg A Current Work In Progress http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v333/zafo999/HW4.jpg Some practice in 3D. I never finished the texture painting on this and probably never will. But I liked how the face and chest textures came out. I just moved, so when I get my scanner hooked back up I'll get some recent sketchbook stuff up. Sometimes those are more interesting than finished illustrations. |
pictures:
1 - no comments 2 - good 3 - train more |

The first one is really nice but there's something wrong IMO.
Blood: there should be a big spot on the floor under her head, she's quite clean. Btw great picture :) |
i love the first one :drool:
|
I agree with R.u.s.s....

Just uploading a bunch of recent doodles and sketches. A lot of them are scrapped ideas for the same character. And I got a new model sheet for a new character model i'm working on.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...doodlesjpg.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...enrefsmall.jpg |
thats bloody awesome :ok:

I see naked people in clear sight.
Good job there... |

It's supposed to be photorealistic for a school project. Unfortunately, Maya crashed during a render and I hadn't saved for a long-ass time. This was the most recent render of the scene before I lost all my work. The only reason i'm posting it now as a WIP is because i'm too frustrated to pick it back up and rebuild what I lost right now. Any crits would be appreciated, though, as i've got another week before it's due. However, I do realize there's too much heavy reflection going on everywhere. Let me know what parts draw your eye in and any ideas you may have for re-working the composition. I don't really like how it's set up at this point. |
First of all I think you did a generally good job on this one, very nice! The shapes look well done as so does the rendering, and the use of colors give it something of a.. um.. reddish mistery :P.
I like all the glossiness (personal preference), but it's not quite realistic at some points. The leafs of the plant look ceramic and the marble may be just a little too reflective as welll. As for the composition: maybe you could try moving the bottles around a bit, mayhaps omitting one (or one of the other objects so you can place a bottle over there). They kinda clutter up right now, almost merging with the pots. Furthermore I try to make a connection between the glasses, the pencils, two bottles of coke and two pots with plants, failing utterly. What's the story here? :) |
Thanks for the crit! Unfortunately I'm not clever enough to come up with a story. I just took random items out of my library and tried to light them in a way that was interesting. I think i'll add a notepad or something and make it look something like a work desk or something. I don't really have enough time to be modeling anything much fancier than that, unfortunately.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...999/img029.jpg Just a quick character I did today. Also, I found an 'Academic Deficiency' report from the art class I took in high school. At that point, apparently, I didn't take school very seriously.. as I never did any homework, never handed the slip in and had a friend sign it with an obviously fake name. |
Progress on some personal 3D. Just a few more details to model and I can start textures.

why is this only first post telling how awesome it is
|
Hi Zafo 999.....R.U.S.S. is right your work is good...really good. I personally loved the "reflections" study you did. The tonal quality of this picture is fantastic..As to "story".. art doesn't always have to tell a story sometimes a really good piece of art will speak to us differently each time we look at it....SAL:)
|
Thanks for the compliments. I've been slacking, though. Not a whole lot of drawing going on lately.
I was bored this weekend and did up this thing here in photoshop. I didn't draw anything to scan and color here, this is just straight painting from scratch in photoshop... hence the ugly. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...oncepterrr.jpg |
Nice though..! Maybe I should try something like that as well.. and completely fail ofcourse 'cause I can't draw that well
|
holy shit
Those are amazing
|
Wow! I really like your work!
(My bro makes art, but they look like crap) |
A little update on the low poly model. A little over 5,000 polys at this point.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...o999/doink.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...9/nojacket.jpg |
Aaaaaand, the final low poly mesh. 5,985 polys.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...99/lpmodel.jpg |
and now you're going to make tomb raider 9?
|
I was going to, but then I got sued by the Tomb Raider people.
|
man, great works.
about the last. what do you say about some zbrushing |
Zbrush is an organisational mindfuck o_o
Mudbox ftw. I bow before your artwork though. It's wonderfully creative. I noticed a few proportional niggles, particularly with arms and hands, but I think you can get away with them to be honest. |
I feel bad for not posting new stuff very often on here. So here's a couple recent doodles from being bored in class.

This is what my math notes look like after I take them into photoshop.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3.../mathnotes.jpg |
Hey I remember that lil' robot guy, he's from Invader Zim!
|
Aww I love GIR!
AWESOME artwork, I'm so jealous! I'm especially envious of your eye for musculatures and clothing--that's something I struggle with. I've been trying to get better, but I don't seem to be going anywhere with it...:( Are you self-taught? |
I started drawing in high school on my own, and right now I'm in an art college(as opposed to a real college). I guess I'm sort of self-taught. I think most artists have to be, just because you've really gotta bust your ass practicing and developing on your own. Nobody else can really make you draw better or paint better or whatever, it's all you! I know dozens of people who have spent tons of cash in art school, attended all the classes, and did all their schoolwork, but just didn't train at all, and they still suck.
I have taken classes and met a lot of brilliant artists, both of which have helped me out and given me great advice. But it really comes down to practicing and opening your mind to art that you may not find interesting... particularly life drawing and anatomy studies. If you want to draw muscle groups and the human body better, find pictures of people or anatomy books (both can be found cheap as free on the internet!) and just try and copy the pictures. Or if you can, find a life drawing class to draw live models. I know it sounds boring to just draw muscle groups out of anatomy books or drawing the wrinkles on someone clothing. But that's what it takes to really learn! And after you get over the first frustrating hump, you'll come to like boring life drawing and you'll be good enough at it to incorporate aspects of it into cartooning or whatever other more fun art stuff you might want to do! Damn, now I feel like doing some tutorials... I'd like to check out some of your work, if you'd like some help! |
|
now thats a nice doodle
Her arms though seems too be too huge compared to her head, or is it because shes packed in all the fur and leathergloves and stuff? Its really awesome, and nice shadows too. but seriously i demand more cleavage :3 |
Just started work on a custom arcade-style stick controller that will eventually be compatible with PS1,2,3. Still waiting on some parts to get in.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...9/DSCN0348.jpg |
Wow, Zafo, i wouldn't call that a doodle... It's beautiful.
|
Yeah that looks great.
I did a LOT of sketching in highschool but never got that good. Only when I'm basing my drawings on existing designs I can get to that level of quality. Then again my father never really tried to develop my talent - I wanted to go to art school (which was every wednesday afternoon and saturdays) since I was 10 but I wasn't allowed to. I'm good at drawing Belgian style comics but it's the really detailed designs I'd love to be good at. |
Interesting, could you give me some examples of Belgian-style comics? I'm not familiar with any Belgian comics I don't think.

The Smurfs Suske & Wiske (also known as Bob & Bobbette and a million other names) Tin Tin (or Kuifje in Dutch) Robbedoes (or Spirou) Lucky Luke Bravo Guuist Flater (Gaston Lagaffe) Buck Danny Biebel Kiekeboe Bakelandt (which is one of the few popular comics which goes beyond rather simplistic drawings) Rode Ridder (another exception) |
Oh, man... Tintin is just awesome! I was crazy about it when I was a kid. My mom even used to call me "little miss Haddock" because I was often in that "Captain Haddock mood".
|
Billions of blue blistering barnacles! I particularly liked the treasure hunt with the model ship, and the Castefiore emerald... Now that's a happy childhood memory :3:
|
In Dutch it was: Duizend Bommen & Granaten! (a thousand bombs & grenades). It's amazing how old the comic is though - the album where they were going to the moon was years before the actual Apollo project.
|
I liked that dog-spacesuit :)

What's his name in English btw? |
He's called Bobby in Dutch so I think in English as well :)
|
Nope, they had to screw up that one;

|
Snowy? O_o Well... we call it "Milu" without the "o".
What about the detectives? We call them "Dupont" and "Dupond". And English is Thomson and Thompson, right? But is the pronounciation the same? I guess we keep most of the original names from French works. Even with the characters from "Asterix and Obelix". |
In French 'Dupont' and Dupond' are pronounced the same, yes.
English ones, don't know really, my spoken English isn't that good -As if my written English was good ..... - |
Just saw a list of the names in various languages in Wikipedia. Some are very funny.
I really like those detectives. |
I like the dutch version Jansen en Janssen (it's a common last name in the netherlands, so it feels natural to us, hence it's a good translation.).
|
@jafo
Excellent jobs! I always wanted to have drawing skills, but never got the hang of it. My son loves to draw, so maybe I will live vicariously through him! |
Holy god thats isnt a waste of life men,you really had talent!!
|
All of your work is amazing! Good work!
|
I'm quite amazed and dare to call your work borderline brilliant.
Your doodles would take me days to draw and would not come out half as good. I don't know much about 3d design but if you ever do a comic I would definitly read it. :) |
Thanks guys. I've been away for a while! Here's a few quick works as an "I missed you Abandonia" gift.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...o999/nuker.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v333/zafo999/dado.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...o999/darla.jpg Also, finished my arcade stick. Works just fine, but I haven't done any art for the face of it yet. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3.../Photo0206.jpg ALSO! I finished restoring my very first arcade machine! Pengo! Works great! Just a couple burns in the monitor. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3.../Photo0203.jpg So those are some of the personal art things I've been messing around with. Oh, finally graduated from school too. So things are settling down a bit, hopefully I'll be able to start posting more around here. |
Did I just spot a Resident Evil-inspired police chick at the first page...?
|
dude that arcade is great
|
Oh my god, she has mecha dino legs!
WAAAAAANT. |
Hey Zafo,
That is some kick ass artwork! Have you ever done anything with integral backgrounds? I've got something you might be interested in - the picture on the first page: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...y_faillace.jpg Is really nice. I think it'd work well for one of the Flash games I'd like to make with Pandaaa. Just simple ones like space invaders, arkanoid and puzzle games like tanzen. Tanzen's a puzzle game, played with blocks of wood - the aim is to take patterned, variously sized shapes and fit them into one larger, specific shape. But, there are many ways it could fit in, but only one correct way. I reckon that you piece Stretch Bones would be great as the reveal picture prize in breakout or arkanoid. It's got that really good pointed feel to it, with diagonals to mix with the level blocks - the angle is just right for that game. And some other puzzle ones. Have you ever seen the dissectional website? http://www.dissectional.com It was made for the band Tool ages ago - you start it by clicking on the flickering bit at the bottom. Some cool background and a good shaped patterned or intricate image overlaid, to be rearranged into the correct form. I reckon that'd be a good art game to work on. I'm well up for doing some flash games with Claire - she stencils a lot, like graffitti and I am just shite. So we were going to try to do the art ourselves. But after seeing your stuff, our's looks pretty lame! Would you ever be up for working on the art for flash games? You could help direct the animation as well. Artists always have different ideas to other artists but often end up expressing the same universal principle. Take it easy, Pete |
I thought this thread was gonna be about how you wasted your life playing games, which I can relate to. I wouldn't call having artistic talent and using it a waste of life.
