Another great thread, nice job guys.

Lowpoly- Nice work!!!

[Lawrence]

lowpolymatt- awesome! Love the mood set and the capture of chaos using "suggestive" detail. Strong piece!

Ideaspark- Also very cool! I dig the pallette you used and the subtle pose of your character... That'd be cool to see a detailed design of that dude, too.

~2 hours. Pencil, Paper, Wacom, PS, Painter. Inspired by the Shaun of the Dead (http://www.shaunofthedead.com) trailer :rolleyes:

A good inspiration for this topic, to me, would've been the 2nd Rennaicence (spelling?) episode 2 from the animatrix. Man that whole entire episode made my blood boil with excitment and I found myself releasing strange yelps of joy and pleasure from the horrific yet rediculously cool apocolyptic battle scenes with the machines. I think id rather face a hord of T-800s and Hunterkillers than ever have to end up against the matrix minions such as the sentinels!

Updated: Well heres my attempt, bit late but ah well.

The survivors wait for any kind of outside contact. Fighterplanes in the distance, could they be coming already?

[Ideaspark]

ditto Hazard, that is an intense scene, i've watched it a few times, I think Goran's piece has a similiar feel

tried a quick sketch - realized I didn't know what the sides of a skull looked like, especially around the jaw, so checked some refs and built a box to get the skull at that angle. ended up finishing this one since i went to so much trouble. bad thing is I know its cropped too close to the bottom of the jaw, that was an unrecoverable accident.
painter classic - 4.5 hrs

Nah it works well. Composition seems alright. Cool!

[Gilead]

There was an old scottish tradition that as warriors gathered for battle each man would carry a stone to the field then, after the battle, each survivor would carry a stone away. The remaining pile served as a memorial to the dead.
watercolor, about 1 hour

I don't normally do the photoshop thing (particularly because I know very little about the program), but I thought I'd try it today since I had a few spare moments. Hope ya' like it.

Oh, and hears a copy of the pencils draft

[Wafflehouseninja]

[lowpolymatt]

Gilead, I love the idea behind that piece, very nice!
