Um, not consciously, but it does seem like a rather clear fit doesn't it...
probably subliminal influence of well established theme.

Yeah i get that most of the times, artists mostly interpret what they see and the best way to get away with originality is to see a lot and have as many influences as possible

incredible
what brushes did you use for the colours?

FabianMonk In reply to guillegarcia [2009-02-10 22:17:41 +0000 UTC]

It's a mixture of photographic textures as well a custom brush for the skin. I don't use that one anymore though, I might have posted where I got it somewhere here in the comments though.

FabianMonk In reply to Netlizard [2008-10-09 18:26:20 +0000 UTC]

CS 3 I think?
Haha I'm not really sure. But this could have just as easily been done in CS 1.

DSil [2007-06-06 21:46:41 +0000 UTC]

I really like the grim, earthy colors and subtle lighting. Rather than increasing the exaggeration already apparent in the linework, it complements it with a feeling of realism. They also create an appropriately grim, brooding atmosphere for these shady characters. Excellent work!

DannyMcGillick [2006-10-09 06:04:23 +0000 UTC]

How'd you get the leathery, grainy texture in his skin? Is it a layer of noise under the modelling??

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

FabianMonk In reply to DannyMcGillick [2006-10-09 08:55:20 +0000 UTC]

What modelling?
I painted the skin-like texture by hand, partially with brushes set to "dissolve", and partially with just grainy/textured custom brushes.

DannyMcGillick In reply to FabianMonk [2006-10-12 08:13:57 +0000 UTC]

Sorry mate, I meant modelling in the painting sense, as in creating the volume of the arm, doing the light and shade. Grainy brushes and dissolve brushes, I'll have to spend some time fiddling with that, it's a wicked result you've got.

DannyMcGillick [2006-10-09 05:30:21 +0000 UTC]

Wicked work. I like the little bitty head and read glowy bumps. His arm anatomy is done really nice and subtle too.
