God of War III- new sculpt 5.16.10

[cannibalcandy]

It's been a LONG time since I posted. Have a few new personal paintings, and a couple not so new. Busy with working, you all know how it is...

Been spending a lot of time studying downes syndrome physical traits. Fascinating stuff.

A digi paint out of the head, done in the style of Gary Myer's class studies back at ACCD

Wacky Self portrait speedie.

Thoughts, suggestions, improvements, towering jesus based rage?

[Matsign]

The happy-handicapped kid in the bunny suit is quite a piece, its great. If I were to see a disabled person in a furry suit this would be it. Nice illustration.

Nice wide use of colors on the girl. Red green and blue stand out to me the most.

[KenJ]

Loooooove your style, fantastic stuff!

[Kir Nuyts]

pure eye candy :>!

[character]

hey dude, nice stuff. i'm digging the figure in the center the best. really nice rendering style you've got going on. where are you from? i see it says so cal. there's a couple of us here in the LA area and we get together every once in awhile if you're interested in hanging out sometime.

[kaktuzlime]

*loves 'em

[cannibalcandy]

Thanks, guys! Glad to be well received. Here are a few more paintings looking to be critted.

character-- gimme a time and place. I am always down for sketch seshes.

A speed paint to try out my new laptop!

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y101/cannibalcandy/The_Minotaur_by_ariokh.jpg
A character challenge myself and some of the art guys at my company gave ourselves. Basically we had to come up with a design for 'Minotaur' that wasn't the classic concept that we all know and love. So I did this deformed giant greek contract killer. Was a fun project, I'll prolly post the sketches that led up to him in a sketchbook, if I ever get one together on here.

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y101/cannibalcandy/The_Creeper__HistoricalDossier_by_a.jpg
Just a revisit to an old character concept of mine. Playing with lighting, and fast rendering in a painterly fashion.

Thoughts, and suggestions?

[Phuzion]

Izzy is psyyyyycho!!!
Heh heh, great stuff brotha! Yeah, I dig the kid in the bunny suit, but I always have a special place in my heart for the girls. However!! Overall I like the self portrait the most. It's got that David Luce Drawing Concepts sort of feel, which is great. It's all about just f@ckin' around and having fun with mediums, traditional or digital.

On this second post, the dude with the orange jacket feels really stiff, but I really dig the colors. You know, for someone who leans so far towards the dark, twisted and f#cked up, you sure like your bright colors. I think you should do a Thomas Kinkade Izzy Style painting, and show that hack what he SHOULD have gotten out of Art Center. You know, naked amputees floppin' around in the magic hour light and pretty pink flowers :P

Peeeeace!

[Justin.]

Wow- Awesome work.

[Sartell]

I LOVE it when I look at images and actually wonder what their thinking, great paintings~* Looking at your website you apparently
do just about everything which I also applaud:)

[cannibalcandy]

Heya Daniel! Thanks for the props! The Minotaur, orange jacket fellow is stiff indeed. I may have over done it, but I designed him to be horrifically bodily disfigured, he's got the worst case of scoliosis I could design. I dunno if it comes through. I think I would tackle the sort of awkward subject matter in the happy scene more, but I think it's gotten into the realm of Ryden, and that is a zone I try DESPERATELY to avoid. :P

Sartell, thanks for visiting! I will have a new site up, hopefully by the end of the week, it's been a month in the making, and will be updated MUCH more faithfully.

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y101/cannibalcandy/Hyperjump_Entertainment_by_ariokh.jpg
What do you do when you have a few months of hyperspace to travel through?

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y101/cannibalcandy/Dissapointed_Ember_by_ariokh.jpg
A sort of early digital experiment for me. I have this nasty habit of painting ala prima with my computer. Which sort of defeats.. well, painting on a computer. Ha! But there you are.

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y101/cannibalcandy/Partner__s_in_Time__FutureShock_by_.jpg
A book cover commissioned by a highschool friend. Young adult. So I went for a sort of squishy rendered look. I don't know if I pulled it off, but it was a rush job.

[cannibalcandy]

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y101/cannibalcandy/Bonereader.jpgAn older painting, but I never posted it. Acrylics on masonite. The character concept was a shaman fellow, "The Bone Reader" it was done for a culture creation project I worked on my last term in school.

[strych9ine]

Fucking great work man! So good f-bombs needed to be dropped. Your figurative work is so damn nice.

[asoir]

More man...I need my hit. :inject:

[Layil]

nice! I love your colors and ideas. keep rockin it!

[Infinit]

great variation of themes and colours!

I like them a lot

[cannibalcandy]

Hey guys, glad you liked the stuff. Here's a new one, three or four hours with acrylic. Enjoy!

ohsnap. damn you've improved from what i remember of you. the colour choices,subject matter,everything hurts so good. more please.
hah,whenever i see someone with an octopus on his head i can't help but think of dogfood and red_rook :D

[cannibalcandy]

Hey guys, thanks for commenting!

I'm glad some improvement shows, Carnifex. Been workin hard lately! ^_^
If you all are interested in more work, some sketches and a tiny bit of my professional stuff for GUN check out my newly redone site! www.mercilessdesign.com

[Carnifex]

whoa man,those pencilled heads are crazy good! are those from guns?

[cannibalcandy]

Yeah, those are a few samples of the characters I designed for the GUN poker game.

This is what Izzy would look like in the matrix. Mind's eye and all.

Looking real nice dude, glad to see you get your site all online and such.

I love your color work. If I were to have one crit, it'd be that your color shifts from specular highlight down to deep shadows is always predictable. It definitely makes things "recognizably Izzy" but it also makes most things read as similar materials. I'd try to work on some slight different applications to really nail the different material looks.

http://www.mr-chompers.com/images/poop.gif (http://www.poopinmymouth.com)

[cannibalcandy]

Not even in the Matrix. Ha!
Thanks for the crit, that's exactly the sort of thing I need. Do you have anything in the way of tutorials, or examples of how I can switch it up? Or artists that have a mastery of different materials?
Cheers mang!
Z

[velinov]

Great works, mate!!! Love the lying girl... Great colors!

[cannibalcandy]

Hey thanks, V! I'm a fan, man. I went through your site, and noticed we have very similar color and subject interests! Any suggestions? Books, or anything you think I oughta check out? ^_^
Cheers!

[Drin]

The acyrlic ones are especially great!

[Lone Wolf]

Some really good painting's in here. Keep them coming.

[Vulgar`]

Exceptional artwork. It's once in awhile that these raw sewage styles sprout from the greenery. Dement mint is always refreshing. Here's some feedback concerning a few errors (If one would consider them errors)

Green bunny kid - On his lower chin, there seems to be a slight gash of miscolor right where his cleft would be. Another suggestion would be to make his circular tail rounder like a baby rabbits. The color white would divert the scheme so that's out of the picture. I can't decide, just sharpen the circular lining.

Fashionable woman - Macy Gray granddaughter funk? It's savage. By skimming, I noticed the glow from her nose, shoulder, and other locations on her skin. Sweat. The water of life. There seems to be a lack of it on her left cheek (facing the viewer) I imagine the scene taking place in a basement, on the sidelines of an underground Jamacian cornerstore club joint. Don't ask me how it led me to that conclusion - just accept it and don't lose those Egyptian marbles.

Errors in your self portrait? Nah.

Skull & boy - Classic. I'd change nothing.

Subway station pioneer (What I call him) - Reminds me of Gorillaz style characterization. I remember seeing one of their CD cover designs at the mall a few days ago. One suggestion for a possible backround: a blaring train with the skull for the window. The skull from your classic painting? Who knows. That's where the wind blows.. (and why his hair is distorted from runaway machinery headed for his unfortunate bodily form)

Old character concept - Suggestion: Make nail marks on the concrete floor. I'm unable to provide any anatomy tips because of it's untamed nature.

Hyperspace travel - Hah, portable galactic entertainment wherever you go.. to the death. There's an obvious mistake that might be the angle - his right thumb seems to be at an arch. The scar defect of a soldier?

Octopi Sophie - Whoa. My only suggestion would be to make the tentacle amidst her breast pointier. (Or thicker with a vine themed tip)

Future Shock - The book text looks kinetic. Connects with the electric surprise of the two character's facial expressions.

The Bone Reader - Excellence. Defying all possibilities of artistic suggestions, it hit me - maybe his feet could be surrounded by enflamed oil, turning this skeletonious ritual (Yeah, I made that word up) into a breathing tribal inferno.

Your newest female sketch - The decorative tufts around the umbrella seem to melt as they turn around her hat area. The sly lipstick is a nice personal touch.

There's a pictures & graphics section on a music website I've been going on for over a year. If you have time, you should submit some of your work and recieve commentary. The website is called "www.rapflava.com" and my name is Vulgar without the ` You should register and post some of your artwork in the "Pictures and Graphics" section. Staz Johnson and Mr. Visions are among a few members here that have visited and posted some of their work. I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Continue to update.

Keep doing you

[shadoman]

Very nice, loose, and inspirational works. Octolady is freaking great.

[tou]

awesome shit man. haven't seen your work in ages and this was a real treat. can't wait to see a tut from you!

[vigostar]

fucking amazing.... ive had your site saved for a while now... too much skills.. your grad portfolio is stunning... Front page link for you sir for sure!!

[Azrael]

sick work amigo! you deserve some stars for that.

[redehlert]

superb - all across the board. can't wait to see me some more.
cheers!
dave

[Onir]

overwhelming work here man, amazing stuff all around. loove the recent acrylic painting as well.. again beautiful work man, as others have said can't wait to see more. :)

[More Junk]

Very amazing work! I love the transparencies and textures you create. I love the simple color palatte you use. Amazing, amazing work! I can't wait to see more.

My favorite is the second image, the reclines girl. The contrast of her skin and the material is tremendous. Big fan!

[cannibalcandy]

Here is a new digital painting. Up late on a Monday night.. can't sleep. Time to channel some Z pain and paint somethin up.

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y101/cannibalcandy/love.jpg
Her love was flawed. But it made her all the more beautiful.

Five or so hours in PS. Did the original sketch on a post-it this morning. It was some kind of dream. I think. Very BROM inspired, obviously. But sometimes we must pay homage to our heroes. ^_^

Z out... zzzzZZZzz.

[cannibalcandy]

By the by... I will respond to all of your guy's great comments tomorrow, thanks a MILLION!

[BANCK]

inspiration:inject:

[AgAtA]

Very interesting work and progress,
and a really pleasant website to visit. :)

[Carnifex]

now...tutorial!

edit: i'd be really interested in one,most of all for that last piece. very cool.

[redehlert]

i wanted to say 'magically delicious' but then i got smacked on the head by the little irish guy. so.....'dementedly delicious!' and i mean that.
cheers!

[cannibalcandy]

New stuff recently finished...

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y101/cannibalcandy/appleheadfinal002.jpg
Applesauce

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y101/cannibalcandy/blueman.jpg
Intent (mild distortion in face was purposeful)

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y101/cannibalcandy/frostfell.jpg
The Frostfell Rifts (cover for D&D book, I didn't design the creature, it was a hell of a challenge making something pretty brittle and kinda ridiculous looking, scary. Dunno if it worked, but there you are.)

Just a bit of an update. I've not posted in ages. Thoughts and suggestions are always welcome. : )

I just realized there is lots of blue in these... perhaps it's my blue period.

[shadoman]

Hell yea.... Intent is awesome.

[Quatermass]

Tres Chick. :)

Love the suit on 'Applesauce".

[j a k e]

Tight shit dude. The suit in Applesauce is impeccable. :)

[alti]

applesause has my vote as best in thread. post more :)
cheers
-alti

[Chuck,mate.]

I don`t even have words, looking at these last updates...
I`m eaten up inside with envy.
post more.

[Konstruktion]

So beautiful. It's nice drawings like these that makes me think about bying a tablet... in the future though. Really inspiring stuff man!

[AleksandarMijajlovic]

Hi,

Just beautiful... inspiration...

Aleksandar

[voraz]

Great work. I love all of it.

[Orifice]

Oh my god this is great! I remember visiting this thread long ago, nice to see them updates! The latest is as great as ever, the apple-man is perfect. I still think the eye on the blue-guy could be brown;) but NOOO complaining dude, Im barely wurthy to look at the stuff. Good work indeed.


EDIT: whats the eye about in applesauce?

[vigostar]

sensational body of work.... Ive been to your website many times.. tons of talent there...

[Raskolnikov]

I admire Your ideas and skills.

[rushwolf]

Go join COW with me! Ima slowly drain your talent through sheer nagging.

[Muttonhead]

So, So good. Applesauce is by far my favorite, love the colors and the action in that one.

I think the Frostfell piece is very good, and it works on many levels, however, I probably would not have pegged it for the same artist as the previous ones. I think maybe it is your decision to not employ non-traditional composition. Most of your other pieces have a little more "design" and skewed compositions.

Really nice stuff though man, you got the goods!

[DSillustration]

beautiful, beautiful thread.

[Mr. Visions]

Extremly gougeous work man. I'm going to your website. Amazing -

- Visions

[Liam Harvey]

omfg! you are good. i want to see more.

[thirdeye]

Man you have sick imagination. Lovin' it :)

[stalsby]

wow! amazing stuff in here! I like the man with the blue hands! and that second one is really nice too!! keep up the good work my friend!

[JL.Alfaro]

Wow man, those last updates are insane! The details on the last one are drop jaw!

[Bomba]

Frostfell Rifts is a dope cover! It echos the old school D&D module covers.
-J-

[cannibalcandy]

Thanks all of you. I'll be sure to update more frequently!

bomba- yeah! Thanks man. I'm all about those old school silly ass covers. I think if I get an opportunity to do another though, I will inject FAR more of my own style into it. I'd like to push for more of the open possibilities that say Foster, and those cats get... beautiful shit, when you get to do what you want and know will look good.

muttonhead- I agree. The cover was pretty different than my usual odd stuff. I think it was the art direction, and my desire to really pull of a D&D 'style' cover. Next time, maybe something more crazy...hahaha

rushwolf- I'll try this strange COW thing... maybe I can pull of something interestin..

Orifice- ... orifice? but... why? Hahaha. I'll not be changing the eyes any time soon. The palette was self referential, and I needed some bright red, so there it is! hehehe Eye? what eye?

[PriNcE oF SpAcE]

oy...to think I nearly missed this thread!

wonderful pieces...really like apple sauce.

[Justin.]

Applesauce;
Genius.

I love those series of pictures with the bullet n' apple. Saw it in National Geographic once...

[MRPLOT]

I like a lot yours color palete ..the apple man is great the contrast !!
keep posting man i want to learn too much with your pictures!!!
bye

[Vulgar`]

Great updates, I'm the guy from the 1st page. I've written two poems based on two of your artworks. The Bone Reader and Wasp Shaman - private message me if you want me to send them to you.

Keep doing you

[Jink]

What do you mean by you "painting ala prima" and what software and hardware do you use to get that kind of effect and work done.

The blue woman is very well done, great stuff.

Sorry, I'm a noob.

[Ben Mauro]

sweet stuff! i remember seeing some of the acrylics up at AC for Gary's Class (i think they still use the tribal dude with the candles :rendered: ) Gary's legacy lives on.

look forward to more.


-B

[MarkBehm]

Great stuff! Beautifully painted. I remember those old D&D modules now too. Heh heh.

Minotaur, squid-hair, Amputee. Saweet.
Non tuts or process pics on your site yet. Shame on you!
Are you freelancing or do you have a full-time gig?

[Rich Pellegrino]

nice dude. I like that last one and the acrylic life painting.

[NateVanDyke]

Some beautiful work and ideas in here. Perdy cuh-lerz!

[Oblio]

last bunch made my day .
thank you, man.

[Matthew Campbell]

Great stuff man. I really like your style.

[Mr-Joe]

Amazing paintings!!! I love the guy with the apple on his head.

I'm assuming your using painter for alot of your work, can I ask which brushes you use?

[PiTx3L]

Great things!

Hey is it me or in Applesauce, if you look on the background you'll see some kind of a face with one crazy eye on it?

Keep posting please.

[zao75231]

Gorgeous thread, you've captured my heart :)

[cannibalcandy]

zao75231-Thanks man, I'm glad to have as many hearts and souls as possible. It's afterall the only way I'm gonna buy my way out of hell. ;p

PiTx3L -cheers, mang! Crazy eyes? Faces? Who knows... *shifty eyes*

Mr-Joe Most of my work is actually Photoshop. I tend to lay in with a normal round brush set to pressure sensitivity. I love making new brushes with their brush controls... tons of fun!

Matthew Campbell Thanks! I like the cut of yer jib.

Oblio No worries. I'll keep makin em if they keep making days.

NateVanDyke -I'm glad you likey!

voodoochile I am so out of practice man with the traditional stuff. I have to start doing some studies or something, I've been working on a painting for a few days now.. and every stroke is making it worse... tsk tsk

abo Thanks Abo, I used to play the D&D back in the day... I kinda miss it. Hahaha I know I'm TOTALLY behind on updating my site... it's pathetic. I have a fulltime gig, and I do freelance on the side. I would say it's a good excuse.. but I still have plenty of time to update, I'm just lazy... *hangs head in shame*

Ben Mauro wow! That stuff stayed up for a bit, eh? I absolutely fucking LOVED Gary's classes. I took advanced sketching twice. I loved that old coot. I wonder what he's up to. He hasn't cacked it I hope?!

Jink No worries, Jinky's. What I mean by ala prima is that I am trying to do the color and paint stroke for stroke... a single color or value, a single stroke. Of course that's very difficult to do, and I flubbed it to be sure. But the effort was there.

Vulgar` Awesome! I'm glad I could be some kind of muse for yer writing endeavors. I went and read them. Very not bad. ^_^ I'm a big fan of poetry, and do a bit of it on my onsies. I like your work. I think you let it get just a tad diluted though in trying to expand your imagery. I dunno. It's likely a stylistic thing, but there are points where it feels like forced cleverness. I think this is largely solved by fluid phrasing, and comfortable pairing and contrasting of the metaphors. Keep em up, and lemme know when you finish new stuff, I'd love to read some more. Thanks!!

MRPLOT I'll keep on it, brotha, I promise!

Justin Oaksford Awesome! Glad you dig em man.

PriNcE oF SpAcE it's nutty what ya see when you look in places you normally wouldn't! Thanks for visiting man!

MikeCorriero Thanks, bro! That's a real compliment. I'm pretty obsessed with light at the moment, trying to get different feels and such. Any suggestions?

[CIRE]

Izzy Iz...wtup man. As always great work. Ive always admired your color choices. Ive got nothing bad to say about your work. Simply badass

[Chermilla]

Incredible.

[xoet]

way very way...

Idea-make friends with the blueish moon

[Pascallo]

Really awesome pictures! Out of mind-painting of girl in that second picture? wtf? hell, yeah - this is where I want to get ;)
No crits from my side, just another boring "your work is great" comment, but this is what it is. Very well done, thanks for sharing!

[Orifice]

BUMP!












btw, an update? please mister! I begs ya!:)

[Ben Mauro]

the department actually canned his advanced class, so his normal class is pretty much the advanced one. Hes doin good, still getting around at his gary meyer pace. i have him for architecture now and him and Kato are tag teaming my viscomm class.

[Robert.B]

blue is my favorite color!!! you cick ass

[cannibalcandy]

I was bored tonight, and wanted a little something to work on. I read through the CoW, and decided to give it a shot. After finishing I went to post, and realized the deadline was yesterday! HAHAHA. Man I'm a tool-bag. But it don't matter, here is my 'Heart Harvester'.

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y101/cannibalcandy/SKELKfinalFORWEB.jpg
The Heart Harvester isn't a singular creature, it's actually the name of a condition, specifically a rare breed of parasites. Smaller than even blood cells, these 'crustaceans' infest the chambers of your heart. After munching steadily on red blood-cells, they work up their numbers (into the millions) enough to attack the meat of the heart itself. When this orchestrated feeding frenzy occurs, your heart is liquified and excreted into your bloodstream.

The demise of one who's contracted the Heart Harvesters is both horrific and painful.

(color scheme is accentuated for viewing purposes)

[AlexGonzales]

Hi Izzy its Alex from Art Center I was Derren and Griseldas roomate. Anyway nice to see your work, it looks great, very polished, glad to see your doing well. I am currently just beginning to get into concept work, and galleries. Take care man.

PS take a look at my post new and improved spaceport. i shouldn't have posted it , it isn't done, tell me what you think and what bothers you.

[carpal]

I think this should be a series. Liver harvester, lung harvester and brain harvester could have potential.

keep the updates coming, always looking forward to new work in this thread.

[cannibalcandy]

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y101/cannibalcandy/Birdfinal-wingedhealer.jpg

The Winged Healer is a carrion eater found in humid swamps. It is so called because of it's use by doctors. It is used to clean festering wounds, and damaged tissue like medicinal maggots. It will ONLY eat rotting flesh with it's amazingly sensitive beak and probing with the sensory pads on it's feet. It also secrets a strange organic chemical from glands in the wrinkles of it's medial beak that have been proven to act as an antibiotic. It's odd cone of feathers around it's neck is believed to be both a display during estrus periods to attract mates, and to keep it from soaking it's flight feathers in ichor from feeding.

AWESOME sketchbook.

CannibalCandy that applesauce piece is in for hot sauce for me. Nice paints dude! Keep making hip stuff!

sick thread

[Skinnyboy]

Mind blowing concepts!

[cannibalcandy]

Another new paint. I'm not entirely happy with it yet, and I'll be spending maybe another hour or two on it tonight. I've had the image in my head for about a month percolating and all that good stuffs. I challenged myself with a purely value painting, I'm trying to convey a bright moonlit scene, so it was difficult to do a high keyed painting, in the darkness... almost cancels eachother out, in theory, but here's my try! ( I am suddenly in LOVE with painting buffalo!)
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y101/cannibalcandy/Tatanka_by_ariokh.jpg

And thanks for all the compliments guys, I'm really glad you dig my weird shit. Comments and Crits are always super welcome! Thanks again!

This.. is so incredibly mindblowing.
thank you for sharing, thanks

[ICH]

Really awesome works here, Cannibalcandy.
About last work, I love the background's brush strokes. The child are so sweet and her dress have really good tones. Buffalos are amazing, I think that you find the real spirit of this beautiful animals. In my opinion, colors are the key to improove the great mood of this painting.

[cannibalcandy]

Just experimenting with lighting, distant cast shadows and attempting to do quick indication of different types of surface material. Hehehe, kitten.

Love the nubs guy and the cat, lovely :)

[nicolas]

....but you need to wrk oin yur anatomy mor

I assume this means "you need to work on your anatomy more."

Which is total nonsense. Dope work!!

[mrgrumble]

haha! oh man i actually just did a piece with a guy falling upside down, but you put me to shame :) i love the design of the face, and the kitten was a wise decision to include :)

anatomy problems? pfft! unless....thats why he has nubs!!!! :O i kid. amazing

Hell, this thread is great! Fantastic work! Poor kitty...

oh my goodness, poor kitty...
awesome colors, awesome everything... you make me want to go draw :3

[Vulgar`]

A trail cartoonish stars trailing behind their airborne path could be an addition. It's been conveyed - cannibalcandy is the truth.

Keep doing you

[cannibalcandy]

I'll have responses soon. It's a bit late, and I'm all fevered.
Here's a paint I started last night. I might do some more to him.

hi cannibalcandy
very nice paintings. your style is great, cool creature and charakter designs.
and your avatar pix is also very cool.
do you use painter or ps?
cheerz

[Robert.B]

damn your colors are always so ritch.

[AndyParkArt]

Awesome work Izzy! Be seeing you soon hopefully! =>

[blaschke]

very nice work. You have a good style.

[stalsby]

Nice updates! That buffalo one is sick! did you work on it more? I would love to see it now if you've worked it up a bit more!

[ikuru]

you have some nice colors and render skills and stuff, love the boy with the cat.

[zao75231]

well I'll be damn, that's fucking wicked cool man, Sooo lovely :)

[TheDirtSyndicate]

............. you fuckin rock man.

[jurffy]

You're awesome... =D

[_andreas_]

i really like the way you paint flesh (and dead cats)
also:
your cow entrys are AWESOME

[Dominus]

great use of colors man, keep rockin'!

[Chermilla]

Again, I have to comment...Amazing updates since I last visited! I love the style of your characters, so very cool!! :D

[matejkovacic]

Great work, Cannibalcandy! I am proud that your my friend at CA :) We should
say something about art sometimes. You have very inspirational techniques.
Keep it up!

[cannibalcandy]

Chuckmate-Thanks mang! Means a lot coming from ya!

primalpate-I'm always aiming for better. I'd love to have some specific crits on my anatomical shortcomings. Thanks for the suggestions!

Poshspice-My favorite spice, and another compliment from one of my CA heroes. Thanks bro!

Vulgar-Hoi, the star trail is actually a really good idea, maybe something graphic like, in pastel blue. I'll have to give it a shot when I've got some extra times.

zweiDee-I use both. Usually Painter just to get a rough sketch and very basic texture/values in. Then I often take it into photoshop and finish it up... Here's a quick look at my process in a speed paint. http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/44425640/?qo=26&q=by%3Aariokh&qh=sort%3Atime+-in%3Ascraps
This was all done in photoshop, but the first and second images are usually what I do in painter in the first five or six minutes of an idea. Hope that helps.

Andyparkart-Hell yeah, brother! I just sent in all the bground check stuff, so we'll see what happens next!! I'm totally looking forward to the opportunity, if it works out!

stalsby-I did do a bit more, spent another hour or two on it, just cleaning up the girls face, and adding some more details to bring the eye more gently into the background. Take a look!
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y101/cannibalcandy/Tatanka_by_ariokh2.jpg
As per usual, crits are totally welcome!

Thanks to everyone! For all the awesome comments and support! You guys totally help to push me to keep going with it. Hopefully I'll have a wave of new art to show really soon. Thanks again!

[cannibalcandy]

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y101/cannibalcandy/Danipresent-differentPuppet.jpg
I'm beginning to think there may in fact, be something VERY wrong with me. *grin*

[E.T.]

really nice colors and poses, nice style for sure.

[jenzi]

I love your style so damn much! its so in your face!

[gluecifer]

I see you also have a thing for amputees and misplaced eyes.

Wonderful thread!

[Carnifex]

oh,i'd rather say you're moving towards hussar-ism,albeit less dirty and surely not as weird yet :D
so keep going,i'm enjoying it in any case.
edit: and on second look,i'm enjoying it even more. all those subtle changes you don't notice at first glance (in texture f.ex.)

[deltron05]

WOW... that's AWESOME what you do right there man..i totally dig your art... glad to see you around...it's stunning !
All the best
D.

[ikuru]

hey they have nipple eyes! just like my grandmother!

[CIRE]

Wtup Iz...its Eric...congrats on you know what

[cannibalcandy]

So very rare... but here are some ACTUAL Cannibalcandy (Izzy Medrano) creature/ character concepts-now with some tasty orthos:

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y101/cannibalcandy/color-chain.jpg

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y101/cannibalcandy/BnWfinal.jpg

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y101/cannibalcandy/orthosfinal.jpg

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y101/cannibalcandy/3quarterpaint.jpg

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y101/cannibalcandy/orthosgrim2.jpg

Each set of designs took about a week including orthos and whatnots... It was pretty exhausting, doing them after the normal job, but it's ALWAYS good to have complete thingies in your book. That being said, I totally welcome crits and suggestions so they will be a nice addition to said book.
Thanks!

------------------
-Verbatim: Thanks, bro! How's things with you? I suggested you in my list of bad ass mofos to replace me at Neversoft, you get a call from them at all?

-Ikuru: Do they have cateracts too?

-Carnifex: I've always loved the Mike Hussar. He's definitely at the top of the list of favorites!

And thanks to everyone else for taking a look at my humble filthiness!
Big love from LA!

[Dominus]

wow, the last set looks very good, great ortho! :}

[natethegrate]

wow...really nice work in here. the creature is sick...really tough pallette

the girls upper body and face is just amazing... the orthos are really coll too
the only thing bugin me is her axe...

greets, nate

[stoph]

dude...

the nipples have eyes.....

maybe thats what our friend Primalpate was indicating to? in that your nipples are eyes, not nipples? i dunnoez man..

hah :P really, that one with the falling nubs guy is so delicious.. i love the fact you chose to light him in a not-so-average way. looks as if youve implied obstructions between the light source - like maybe a beam or two - and the figure. i like. i really really like. post more. ktxh.

[dkounios]

loving that white buffalo and the last update bunch.
great work all around. awesome stuff

[vigostar]

fucking A man... Always loved your work.. even before you started bombing this community with your posts... Your palettes and interesting characters and creatures are a breathe of fresh air... Thanks for posting and for he instant boot of inspiration

[Bomba]

Z,
Fucking dope stuff. All the extra work is worth the end result.
-J-

[Gangus]

wow...
have to say I am 90% inspired and 10% freaked out a bit
or is it 10% inspired and 90% freaked out? :)

Really moving work and wonderfully executed. Love your rendering style and color and lighting sense (especially on little things like that blue glowing oxen thingy)

Your favourite movie must be boxing helena right?

have to say that last one of the little girl with the eye nipples reached out and punched me square in the face (that part just under the nose but above the mouth that smarts so much)
not making any judgements or anything like that just ...wow crazy shit,
very on the edge.

keep up the cool work.

Gangus

[Mr. Visions]

Amazing work man, simply mind blowing!!! Did you have to do a top view for the orthos or no. I always wonder if those are really necessary.

- Visions

[MoonVisionStudio]

Masterful technique, wicked imagination! Very inspirational, Thanks for posting!

[ikuru]

ur stuff is soo nice... getting better and better and bet, you get the point...
using painter at all?
plz come by my skb and give me some crit if u plz, I need to learn more stuff.

[KidApe]

lovely dragon design, you can feel it's torment

[MonkeYoakum]

Wow, Glorious! I desperatly await updates. Your anatomy is so excelently rendered. I aspire to your greatness. PropS!

[Kan Muftić]

Who da phuck is lowering rating of this thread? See that as a compliment, dude. Must be some jealous fairy-artist...
Big respect from me!

EDIT: Top-uped to 5ive bling-blings again

[Crazy-Concepts]

dammmnnnn, you just inspired me to start up painting in the PC again

thanks man

[P.R]

like everyone said this is spectacular work. I love your style, very inspiring!
Thanks!

those dragon designs are wicked.

brilliant work man, keep it up.

These are part of a project I'm doing on DA; where I'm having other people send me photos of themselves and I do some kinda messed up portrait of them. It's been fun practice.

[Carnifex]

i fuckin love how you let those brushstrokes shine through,and still make it look unified and finished,esp. on that baneshrae. that small birdhead sums it up. goddamn :)

[Kian]

simply great work man. very very impressive :yayca:

[bluefooted]

You are awesome! I love everything you do <3

[Frank Wade]

Oh my...

these are way too good. I can't believe it. You are so fucking good.

[ikuru]

I used to think u where pretty good, but all of a sudden your on a whole nother level man and now ur stuff is like ammong the best there Is I think!
well done and keep it up!

[MR. Carbon]

I think I've strained my Iris, I don't think I blinked once while browsing, haha. Very stimulating visuals, excellent stylistic harmony through every page. hmm, Weird, your work seems a bit lugubrious yet simultaneously very attractive. I see a bit of genius in the the way you have constructed your creatures. I respect your work very much.

[AttackCat]

Oh shnap Izzy! You have some wicked wicked style man. You really know how to sling that stylus around. Damn. Just damn. How long does a typical concept take you? From idea to final product? Could you explain your process a bit? Thanks

[zemotion]

1st one in the last update is totally dope.

[MonkeYoakum]

Yes yes! That giant bone vulture gives me new reasons to live!

[Chuck,mate.]

Brilliant updates.
can I say I`m one of your biggest fans? ho, I just did. alright. :)

keep sharing, mate. I love it.

[batmankm]

What an incredible thread!! Beautiful stuff!

KM

[cannibalcandy]

batmankm Cheers!

Chuck,mate. hahaha, thanks bro!

MonkeYoakum Living is indeed important, I'm glad I could help!

zemotion Thanks!!

AttackCat Thanks, yo! Concept time depends. Largely on what I'm trying to indicate. Many of my illustration for myself stuff usually doesn't take more than a couple of hours. My process is pretty standard. loose sketches, followed by a three-quarter color mood piece, followed by turnarounds.

MR. Carbon The Cannibalcandy (entity) is not liable for sustained eye damage from peering at any and all works directly from or inspired by the entity. Lawsuit aside! Thanks! I really appreciate the respecks. I hope my work don't bring you down too much. I don't think or emote too much when I work, it just kinda comes out a bit dark.

ikuru I'm working with some really great artists, so I'm trying my best to get better and learn everything I can from them. Awesome stuff!

Frank Wade Cheers, bro!

bluefooted Aww, yer gonna make a grown dark man blush. :)

Carnifex I'm all about tasty brush strokes. It's my favorite part! Thanks for commentin.

Crazy-Concepts The computer is just another medium. There's no reason it shouldn't get it's just dues from the traditionalist community. ^_^

Chupacabra That's odd, I didn't know you could lower the rating. I don't mind. I'm not on here for stars, I want peers to see my new work, and keep in touch with folks. Thanks for fixing it though!

MonkeYoakum Thanks! I've posted since now. ^_^

KidApe Glad you dig the dragon, I'm pretty proud of it.

ikuru I'm not using Painter much, mostly because my copy is all squishy, not working properly and such.

[stalsby]

the new stuff is sick as usual!!! thanks!

...amazing.

Subtle and ghastly - your nipple-eyes make me sing. I love the "What? Are those eyes?" experience I just had...

Wow Cannibalcandy! I enjoyed every one of these, applesauce being my favorite. How long have you been painting? and how long painting on the 'puter?

[DARIZ]

[Killer Napkins]

dude .. amazing artwork.. love the style...
and i jsut realized, i saw you on deviantart like a couple weeks ago by chance and favorited your applesauced piece.. and then now i just saw that in this thread and had no idea you were the one in the same ...ha

great stuff!.. keep posting!

[jenzi]

I am so loving this! thanks a lot!

[cannibalcandy]

I know I've been rather negligent of my thread here, so here's a little love.

Since it came out and I've seen tons of screenshots with these characters, I figured I'd do a little drop of some of my favorites. Here was a bit of my contribution to the most recent tony hawk game. Most of these are coming up on a year old so they may be a bit rough around the edges. All but the last are property of Neversoft and Activision.

cannibalcandy your style is extremely groovy and new age, while actualy displaying talent. which is a paradox in some ways.

i loved this thread, kay down some work works?

i love your use of pink, light purple,etc

[bao]

Great designs on those characters, lots of nice little touches to look at. Nicely rendered as well.

[Kan Muftić]

Man, who are you? I demand your photos, preferably under the shower.
'k?

[El Jeremie]

Nice, love rube.

[banhatin]

your latest role character design increasingly cool! If you do a tutorial ,oh!I cant imagine ,man!can you ?:)

[midknight523]

damn, those are cool

[FlameDragon]

Really intriguing works, wow!!

[MonkeYoakum]

I always freak when I see your thread update, so just letting you know I appreciate the love. Also love the costume designs on this last post. Nice tattoos also. Want to see more;

[Vulgar`]

The blue lobstermouth man - I did that on a cruise ship with a tiny red lobster - reminds me of the robotic intestinal insect from the first Matrix.

[MattGamer]

Brilliant, man. Thank you for sharing and inspiring me!

[mintyfreshdoom]

These are so absolutely gorgeous. The only thing, though it's probably a bit late, the "Hardcore" kid in your last post, the flesh being pushed up where he has his hand shoved in his pocket is beautifully rendered, but he's got a bad case of lotus feets! I'd hate to skateboard on those dainty things. :teeth: It happened to a couple of other guys on your blog as well.

[Olof]

I like. Alot.

[xchosun1x]

IZZYYYYY!!!!
your work is getting stronger and stronger...good stuff man!

[Supervlieg]

Great thread. Lovely work on all characters and creatures. Your work is up there with my favs now. Do you ever try some enviroments?

[Bomba]

Damn Z, these are really cool designs. Wah, you are able to take a theme and make it look like a shit load of fun to work on... bravo! And nice blog entries too... great reading material.
-J-

[Jason Snair]

Wow. I'm just sitting here in awe of your work, man. Love the recent Tony Hawk designs. How do you do tattoos on them?

I just saved so much to my inspiration folder.

[cannibalcandy]

I will respond to everyone VERY soon. Just finished a self challenge of simultaneous painting. I don't think it's something I'll do regularly, outside of work. But man what a trip!

wonderful updates, Cannibal C. I love the color choices and the lighting is interesting and looks great as well.
cool.

You are one of the greatest inspiration about skintones, and more.
Many thanks for posting. Keep it up!

[Carnifex]

although i'm not too fond of stance and outfit on the "lady's primer" image,i have to say the way the hands are painted fascinates me to no end.

on your website,did i miss a link or do you not have any tutorials up yet?
(the gallery build up is genius btw,being able to scroll through images like that)

[Capprotti]

Saw those last two in your DA gallery. Such a treat to see new work from you! Always loved your stuff, and somehow it's still getting better. Good shit mang!

[Blue Disciple]

Egad. You're sick in the head. Join the club.

And good work *blah, blah, blah*

[hawkprey]

Dude..........

I didnt put two and two together when I met you this past weekend. Your work is insane. I didnt realize you were the guy doing this stuff. Really awesome to have met ya.

[Aly Fell]

Izzy, your work just gets better and better. A great thread to browse and enjoy.

[HunterKiller_]

I really enjoy 'Applesauce'. I've always thought about doing something creative with those high-speed camera photos. Now I have my inspiration. Thanks.

[cannibalcandy]

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y101/cannibalcandy/Maw-DA.jpg
Another portrait of someone on DA. I'm experimenting with my color and value keys. I'm always open to crits!

[El Jeremie]

Nice, he looks like a rock star yelling in a micro.
Just to crits, the jacket look abit unfinished and flat and the nose hole (dunno if it's the right word) are huge

[bhanu]

ooh nice portrait....

[murderdoll]

Nice portrait! Good colors. Only the nose not quite true.

[Vulgar`]

I can't tell if this is an old lady being gravititionally fed giant jawbreakers in her workplace or if it's a man mouth juggling ping pong balls. A distinctive additional feature to indicate the character's gender could help the outlook of his/or her identity, because right now, as I'm looking at this, it could be either male or female. The pale, clay-like bizarrosity of it reminds me of the Nightmare Before Christmas.

Keep doing you

[gustavo desimone]

me gusta mucho tu pincelada suelta

[cannibalcandy]

Hey guys, been a while. Usual reasons we all have, but I've done a couple of paintings for myself over the last couple of weeks. Always looking to improve!
First is a self portrait, second and third are some kinda filthy sex scene out of my noggin. Making ridiculous faces and such. FILTH!
