So, didn't turn out to be a big fight scene after all...

College of Freaks

My General Gamma on the left, @Syn's Doctor Gonzo on the right. Blappers taking a break.

Nicely done!

Is it painted or pure pencil work?

Picture drawn entirely in Photoshop CS.

Some work-in-progress versions of the picture if someone is interested in that: 1, 2, 3, 4

Other people might not appreciate it quite so much, but for my money, you've really captured the persona of Doctor Gonzo as he exists in my head. Thanks, Alvan - and very well done. [img]/uk/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Holy...

Right, stop the presses. You win Creative Genius of the millenia award.

All of it done in Photoshop CS? All of it? Why are you playing this game? Draw more, sell all, be millionaire!

Yup. Haven't really found the need to use software like Painter to emulate "natural media" like pastels or watercolor - in PS it might take a bit longer to get the details look nice, but it's the way I'm used to doing it.

In a way this pic was a bit non-standard for me. I usually draw a scetch by pencil, scan it and do coloring and tidying up in Adobe Photoshop. In this one I just started straight with blank digital "canvas" and worked my way up from there.

I'd already seen this as you PMed it to Syn - it's fantastic! I really like the style of it, and while it might sound odd, I particularly like how the warwall looks, and the various light sources in the picture (PWN shop!). And I'm glad to see Gonzo's signature glowing head. [img]/uk/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I think it's sort of sweet that they've ended up sitting and having a friendly chat, rather than fighting. [img]/uk/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
