I like all your banners that you made for everyone, its funny you don't have one for yourself! (a finished one that is) Whenever I see them, I can hear an announcer's voice in my head, like a movie trailer!

Edit: I see that you guys decided on one now. Cool idea.

[killing.people]

character concept: tactical sniper (loner)
one shot - one kill

weapon concept: sniper rifle

the idea is that we create a sharpshooter that are to hunt eachother. be creative with your designs and gun-play.

setting:
techno-industrial (dirty & futuristic) desolated industrial city surrounded by dead-grass plains.

what do you think?

[killing.people]

great. nice work on all of the banners you are creating for everyone. lets have fun.

dont blink.

[juicy_fruit]

hey f3nix man sry 2 be a bother but i was wonderin wats up with the banners most of them i see *removed because earthlink is gay* and others i see like a samurai skirt guy holdin a sword and it says the challenges n stuff.. its pretty sweet sry.. introduction.. im new

[killing.people]

juicy_fruit:

the "samuri skirt guy" looks to me like it is from the movie poster of "gladiator". fenix used it as a background for the banners he made for eveyone when thunderdome 7 started..

earthlink was hosting his images and pooped out because it was recieving too much traffic. i am guessing you thought it was a person or something..

*slaps fenix* glaglaglaglagalah!

[juicy_fruit]

i am liking my colors so far, but i think i am jumping in too quickly. i would like a better pose, and better understanding of a chacter first.

i enjoyed looking at what others had to share and i opted to show my progress.

[Tedsuo]

Looking good, man! I like the mood you're capturing.

very nice both of you
cant wait to see these finished!

[Aven]

Cool. When I first read this one, I loved the idea. It is great to see some art for it. They all look good. KP, your guys look absolutely bad arse :D

[Happy Camper]

wow. Great stuff guys :D.

Hey F3nix, Is the resolution of the .jpgs the resolution you work at? Just wondering 'cause I'm not sure what res I should be painting at. Unfortunitly if I paint at a resolution that high my PC lags :(.

[F3nix]

i work in 150-300 dpi documents. I like big canvases and the ability to put in small detail. my t.dome PSD got corrupted somehow, so I have to work from a screenshot that i took of a WIP. But i'll manage.

[Android]

shit killing that is some of the best concepts i have seen come out of you , great work,

F3nix, the boots on your character look super realistic, if you could take the whole character to that level of detail, its gonna be a blood bath between the two of you.

awesomness-

[F3nix]

http://sleazyent.com/Images/concept012s.jpg

[juicy_fruit]

fenix ur cutting too many realistic images into ur art i can tell.
ur art is way different.. wider lighting then the complex boots and in the first image u can see the cut lines where u snipped it.. and parts of the pants are real.. cmon man u can use them for reference but dont combine it with ur image

[F3nix]

Whoa now. First of all. I don't paste any photos into my art. I take huge offense in that accusation. I did all that you see here myself. Execpt for the sky and ground, but thats why i took it out later on anyways. As for any clipping you see, i clipped that out of my own drawings, because like i mentioned above, my .PSD file got corrupted and I had to use a WIP screenshot to work from.

Update:
Changed lighting a bit, and upped contrast a bit around the image. Also plannin on slapping more tattoos on him.
Toying with the idea of planting him in a post-Apocalypse Times Square. Was watching Final Fantasy : Spirits Within for inspiration. :D
http://sleazyent.com/Images/concept014.jpg

Mike: yeah, alot of people have been telling me that the paint seems more like light projected through window blinds or something, I'm trying to come up with a solution (changing the direction in which they're going, the color, etc.) The anatomy porblem you're seeing is that he has a Pinhead-Antatomy. Tiny head, huge shoulders, small hips and legs. I didn't mean to do this but, I came to like it. The pose is kinda stuff, I'm working two other pictures of him at the moment. But I'm sharing this one so you guys have an idea of waht my character looks like.

[juicy_fruit]

sry for the accusation or watever but u gotta admit man.. if ur working on putting in that level of detail to prove you did it its a good idea to take some screenshots.. btw if u want help with the light.. walk infront of blinds.. cut the lights when its day out and take a picture (no flash) make sure the camera shadow isnt in the way of ur face and go from there.. u can take close pics n stuff for further detail

p.s. ur bullets look like mini paintbrush with that inward fall.. use a reference on sniper bullets

[killing.people]

it's hard for me to muster anything.. i hope you are not taking advantage of others' good integrity.

at anyrate,
adding specular highlights should solve the face paint epidemic. turning down the brightness on his forehead should help make it look less like projected light. dont overwork the boots, the cigarettes are a little small,

anyway,
i am going to have to pull myself from our thunderdome thing, i am not going to be able to finish a peice.
if you decide to finsih yours, i would ask you please remove my photo.

sorry again fenix and anyone else, hope you can understand.
-killing.the.fun

[F3nix]

Hey, no problem buddy.

I'l leave our t.dome open. Work on it when you can, if you're up for it. I'd love to see you finish your piece its awesome.

I'lll be here. Lock and loaded.

[killing.people]

:dance: *psst!.. behind you f3nix..* :doh:

the show must go on

[amphex]

holy STUFF killing people, that is looking awesome :D
Damn his arm fucking kicks ass...it looks like a dead guy!

haha this is a sweet challenge :)

[olrox]

yeah, so anyways. i believe you about this much {} that you didn't cheat in some way. the style and quality of the painting of the boots is completely different than that found in the rest of the piece. the highlights in this boot picture match up perfectly with the ones you "painted".

i'd like to see your photoshop layers to see how you *cough* painted this... oh wait, the .psd was conveniently lost.

and on a slightly related note, your guy looks nothing like a sniper. you have created a commando.

even on your web site your "self portraits" look like photos with photoshop filters run amok.

snore.

[SicFrost]

why would you say he doesnt look like a sniper?
I think he does, and is there are problem with using refference for a picture, i think thats THE best way to learn,
you drawing realistically, can you just draw anything without being sure what it looks like, i doubt it.

anyway F3nix and K.P your works are great, cant wait to see them finished...

[olrox]

applying the term "using reference" is generous in this case. it's one thing to draw and paint from a reference image... it's another to cut the image up, paste it into your composition, and paint straight over it (if even that much was done... it looks like the boots have barely changed). if the images was simply used as "reference", the boots would be done in the same style as the rest of the painting. not the case here. for christs sake, look at the boots closely. he did not paint that.

the composition itself is largely uninspired also.

[SicFrost]

look i dont want to take sides,
but why would you have a problem with this? K.P. doesnt seem to have any...i mean hes the opponent, not you. why would it matter even it that WAS the case?

_B0R1S

[killing.people]

hi strange. :dead3:

sic8sic, i am quite bothered by it actually. not the fact he used doctored photos but the fact he used others' good integrity against them. i knew, for certain, about the boots for a while now, and it really upset me - it was bound to show up on these boards, i was hoping it could have waited or supressed - i wanted to see f3nix's finished entry(ies).

"death before dishonor" draw without greed

[SicFrost]

KP, i appologize for my statement, Im sure this problem can be resolved without any drastic measures, it would be nice for you two to find middle ground and finish what youve started...

_B0R1S

[killing.people]

i plan to finish mine - a ways to go though! ahhh!! ;)

[olrox]

make what you will of it, i'll leave the real artists (of which i am not) to decide. but i thought it was lame and worth bringing to light. everyone can learn from their mistakes.

[Grooveholmes]

It is a sad day indeed.

oh, its so bad .. off to school!!

[Fozzybar]

WTF???

I just saw this thread (yeah, too many td-challenges going on:))...this boot is really an interesting evidence...

feenix, what's the deal?





Killing, really nice rendering there and you were right on your comment when starting the coloring. You could have worked better on the pose and the sketches....it looks stiff and somehow boring...but anyway, it seemed you just wanted to color something :) and you did it great!

[nick reynolds]

FUCKING TIGHT KILLING!!!!!!! YOU OWN MY BALLS.:bash:
