Hell yeah !!! Fresh fix of Lono desktops :) Hoping you'll show us more.

[dfacto]

I'd suck that!

Really nice work here man. Everything is eyecandy, which doesn't happen too often with SBs. I especially love the face on the first guy as well. THe lighting is very well done and gives it a nice sense of atmosphere.

One thing that did bother me was this pic. (http://www.zachhall.com/images/cockpit.jpg) Everything looks good, but the eyes somehow turn me off to it. I can't put my finger on it, but something about it disrupts the picture for me and draws my eyes there. Normally good, but not in this case.

Ah....yes.... like a needle in my arm.... thanks a lot, Lono. Glad to see you're still alive and kickin', man!

[EVIL]

HAH!! fuckyeah! finally man! .. definatly don't stop man, your my testicles so you need to stick around..

Love the one with the sigarettes! haha took me a while to find out that the wierd shapes in the cornor where finger tips, after that the whole image revealed itself.

Blog: man,, thats a serious complament.. thanks brother!

A completely awesome sketchbook. The 'weird' fantasies that I like to see in drawings and incredible technique. About technique: I really admire your hatching. I'm studying pretty hard to master this, but no good results as of yet. What pencil do you use for hatching ? If I use a B or 2B pencil it starts out nice, but after a few strokes the point gets blunt and the individual strokes are no longer visible. If I use harder pencils (H or 2H) you can see the individual lines, but they're awfully light. Do you have any advice for me?

Cheers,

Arco

Hey Zach,

give us a shout, next time you're in London. Shame we missed each other last time.

PS: killer crayons

[Danomight]

Haven't seen your stuff in a while, I love the pencil goodness :) I can't get enough of the great expressions your characters have. Awesome stuff!

[affluxing heart]

damn i was lead to believe this would be bad its straight up fantastic!! puts my sketch book to shame :(

i'm guessing u use graphic pencils yes?

[draw]

Outstanding - Twisted - I love these

1 Crit tho, they are very clean and I think that even more realism could be pushed for. Just a guess but have you studied a lot of Hogarth?

Post soon ppls

[koppa]

awesome man

[Dreamworker]

Outstanding stuff! I like your rendering style, no critcs only very good pictures ;)

Keep it up, cheers :D

[ElvisMcVegas]

Hello Mr. Zach, it seems that you also live in austin and share my first name, I'm afraid I'm going to have to track you down and challenge you to a fight to the death, for THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE...zach in austin.

[Machu Picchu]

[one2hit]

Awesome! glad to see you back, always liked your rendering technique...and do I see a little George W in that monkey?

[Beelow]

Hot damn! You are rocking the pencils out! I love them all. I am bout to return to my pencils sketches now.
