Undead & Ork pinups (*added illo)

[synthetINK]

here's something I did a while back....let me know what you think...*note, the flat color was added quickly...if this is used for print it will probably be colored different.

thanx

[mcotie]

badass Andy. That serpent is awesome.

mitch

[rambhat]

Unbelieveable!

[Glenn K]

Very intense.

you sure pack a lot into one drawing.

Nicely done.

[davi]

freaking beautiful. i love everything about it!

[Minion]

Phenomenal work.

Just out of curiosity, do you play any Warcraft 3? :D

[Main Loop]

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP

[hoopa]

Sweeet! Thats bloody awesome work. Only thing is the bottom right charactor confused me for a second. Couldn't work out where that arm was coming from, but I see it now.

Minion: There's a hint of WC3, isn't there. :D

[nardfrog]

yeah, im gunna go hide in a hole now. I think you could probably creat the coolest black ink only comic on earth. GO ahead and start that now and think of me when you are rich.

[wraithdt]

Damn man! You rock!!:rock:
I really dig your style; love the way you draw the Lich King and mcotie is right a bout the serpent, it looks nasty. IMO this work is better then any of Samwise's work. I just hope that you'd put it in full colour.

[Presence]

donschi

[rodrigo!]

[N D Hill]

If only all comic book art could look this good. Awesome ink work and composition!

[synthetINK]

hey wow, thanx for the responses ...I'm glad you guys like this.

mcotie-thanx, man...cool Dawnforge cover!

Minion-No, I've never played WC...yes, this is for a related project...it's cool you recognized the source material

nardfrog- rich?hmmmm...cool
my first published work was a full comic I penciled, inked, wrote, etc...it sucked...I think I could do a much better book now, hopefully i will get the time eventually.

wraithdt-I love samwise's concepts

Presence-50 years , nah, there's many awesome artists on this forum

donschi -took about 50 years

Ant4d-maybe a little crazy, I don't get out much, so I'm not sure

Exo-well, I'm currently doing some more comic pinups

rambhat,Glenn K, davi, Main Loop,hoopa, rodrigo!, Sularia,Jeff Jaws, Dementist -thanx!

Well, here's another one i did for this project...an ork!...hopefully these will see print and I'll get to do more ....I like the setting.

[nardfrog]

I was wondering what kind of pen or ink you use.

[civicboi]

Wow, i'm blown away man. Your work is amazing. Good job.

[madphill]

whoa. numero uno

[Sularia]

I love, love, love the orc! I think your inking skill is insane.

[angel of light]

wow these are amazing. speechless. I was wondering if you were doing a human, and nightelf pin up as well??? I would love to see what you'd come up with for the night elf pic.

[synthetINK]

nardfrog-microns mostly...brush for large areas

angel of light-not right now...I love the setting and characters of WC and it be fun to do my take on some of the other characters...this was for a larger project though I haven't heard from them in several monthes. i actually did a rough for the Night elves too , but ended up going with the orc illo instead

thanx for the comments

here's a WIP of that Undead one if any one's interested:

[mcotie]

Braz youre a pimp. thanks for the cover compliment. Keep up the great work. and we love to see the pencils!!

mitch

[angel of light]

hmm i'd love to see that rough for the night elf if you're willing :)

[Idiot]

These are the most unbelievably amazing drawings I have ever seen. I am going to save, print out, and then frame them. I've been working on an image of the lich, then I click here, and it's like looking into a magic window of what I could only have dreamed of accomplishing, and then beyond to everything I hope to achieve with pencil in the next decade. I am both humbled and inspired. Thank you for sharing these. Now I have to go draw....

[bluepulse]

Wonderful vision! The zombie character on the bottom really makes it for me.

[EarthClimber]

Lich King! I love your artwork and your style. Im going to go check out your site now and be amazed, keep drawing-peace:)

[synthetINK]

mcotie-glad you like the pencils...I'll try to keep it up, looks like a need to get a day job now though

angel of light-um, couldn't find it...it was really rough

Idiot-thanx, glad you like these so much,... enough to want to frame them....these are low res jpegs though so your print out isn't going to look very good. I have high res prints of most of my work available...actually not these illos, because they are not my characters, but most everything else in my pen& paper gallery.(just e-mail me if interested)

bluepulse-thanx... attaching another detail of that for the hell of it

EarthClimber-thanx! these were for a Warcraft comic pitch...I never heard back from the company that commissioned them, so I'm guessing the idea was canned and these won't be used for anything...oh well.

[CH-PERALTA]

Hey Andy this illustration rock dude Top notch job!! :chug:

[Idiot]

I sent an email through your conceptart.org profile. I'm guessing that hotmail put it in your junkmail folder, because that's what it did when I sent a test email to myself recently. I'd be extremely interested in a higher res copy of one of your works, if thats still available.

Your line work and values are amazing. In the email I sent, I asked if there was one exercise in particular you'd recommend to an artist with.... less developed skills? I know that all of the basics are important, but every artist seems to have one exercise they've found especially helpful (for example Prometheus|ANJ=samples, Jason Manley=master copies). Thanks!

[maldrin]

*point up to idiot's post*

yes yes what he said!!

[Clandestine_IX]

Yeah, I was going to try and draw like you but it was easier just to stick my pencil in my ear until I died. Now Im dead. Seriously though, unbelievably awsome work here man! Your design, lighting, linework, detail, it is all very impressive.:shocked:

This is a bit of a pipe dream, but I don't suppose you could post your entire process? I (and every one else I am sure) would love to see how you work from thumbs to sketches on up.

[Tad]

I just wanted to note that your obvious knowledge and use of anatomy is really impecable.

kudos to that!

whats your background/education?

in other words... how the fuck?!

[Hale]

You said that you use microns mostly but you have such great feathering, do you just go over and over with the micron until you get that tapered line? Also, I notice most of your works are a b&w with a color layover (?) Do you actually work with different color inks or do you photoshop some areas to add the color?

[nevershotdown]

holy shit man, those are awesome. go and get RICH (have fun). thats all i have to say.

Stay Happy
-Nevershotdown

[synthetINK]

wow-lots o questions...

CH-PERALTA-thanx

Idiot & maldrin-yeah, I have prints available of many of my illos and I still have few copies of a self produced art book I made to sell at a con last year...you can contact me for more info at:
chaosdestiny at mybluelight dot com

just try to push yourself to make each drawing better than the last

Clandestine_IX-thanx, basically my process is just : rough sketch, tight pencils, inks...maybe I can post more of that sometime

Tad- I have an art & design degree from Iowa State U... it didn't really help much with what i do...mainly it's just been self taught.

Hale- yeah, some lines take a couple stokes with a Micron...the color tones are added in photoshop

nevershotdown-thanx for the advice:)

-Andy

[kleer]

Wow! These are awesome! I also like your use of single tones to allow the rendering to convey the mood. Very nice work. :)

[Aerythes]

These are totally incredible... I love the pencil drawing even more than the near-perfect inks...

Can you post your Night Elf sketch too? If it's anything like your UD drawing, I believe everyone here will want to oogle it as well. (And I'm a Night Elf player, eheheheh...)

[synthetINK]

kleer- thanx...glad you like the color tone

Aerythes- not sure where that sketch is ...it was very rough

I was wondering if anyone on here might have contact info for Blizzard?...if you could drop me an e-mail that would be great:
chaosdestiny at mybluelight dot com

-andy

[anjy]

Your inking work is amazing. I am glad to see work of people who spend time to really *finish* their work.

Fantastic. The pencil WIP is great, as well, and I might even prefer the pencil to the inked; but on a different level. Pencil work can have such a beautiful quality, that is hardly ever kept when inking, etc... I'd like to one day see some finished pencil works of yours.
