Bravebird With Helmet And Horns; Zombiebird Portrait

Update: Apropos Zombiebird - 'bird' being the operative word. I did this funny chap some weeks ago (cf. Walburga Potts).

Pretty life... deathlike portrait.

    I love this... if this thing existed as a 3D portrait I could hang in my home, I would totally buy one. Also, I love the way you handle drawings of hands... I learn a lot from your skethces. I just wish I could duplicate it. Great stuff, man.

    I can't get over how dimensional this zombie is! I've learned tonnes about construction from your designs that just never really sank in when I was learning animation, and for that I thank you!

    I'm curious as to how you go about colouring your designs. Have you done a video, much the same as the ones of you sketching, where you go through your colouring process? If you haven't done anything like that, then I guess this is my official formal request :D

    Your work is awe inspiring! Can't wait to see the next design!

    It's like the scene in The Ring, with the TV, only scarier.


    Another great picture.

    Shane! Many thanks for the "hands-compliment". I feel highly honored.

    Dave, it's my pleasure! Concerning the video: 'hope that I can get this done sometime in the coming year...

    Tobio, Mark, Oliver! :)

    Bogar, it's just the "old" blue-box trick. After scanning the blue lines simply vanish.

    Pasquale, thanks a bunch!!

    Another great character! Actually, contrary to the rest of ya being scared of him, I'd actually start petting him!!!

    And I really agree with S.T. Lewis on this one: your hands are top-notch! I've actually learned something from them, particularly when that's a weak point in my drawing.

    All the best!
