Description So if you read the update journal, you'd know this was incoming. If not, then I don't blame you, I talk a load of shite sometimes.

I've been doing some work for a games developer the past few months. Buckets of concepting and orthographics. Nothing I can really show off yet, but as it's released you'll probably see a slow and drippy stream of artwork dump itself into your watchpod. Nice.

This'll be the boxart for the game. The developer is Monochrome, and A TUTORIAL EXISTS GASP. Yeah, They asked me to do a tutorial.. So if you want to look at that:

[link]

Contagion is the sequal to a very popular Half-life2 mod, "Zombie Panic". Some of you might have played it. Guiltily, I haven't.

I'm gonna go ahead and click NO on the mature content. You see scarier halloween costumes on 4 year olds, and theres nothing particulary graphic about this. It's just earie.

Oh wow, i love this so much. Lighting like that always gets me, it give the picture a really really creepy feel. And the angle you chose to do it in is awesome! Not to mention the creases of the fabric look so amazing.

Phew! haha, for a moment there, I thought you got crazy enough to paint individual *threads* on the sheet. (It would be hilarious, only I've *actually* done something that stupid before).

heheh image girl as in i am good with visuals and creating images and not very good with words and constructing sentences that could do you justice on how amazing you are at what you do

BUT maybe i am 2D


im sure it has its advantages

Kharnage In reply to jamieBELOVED [2010-08-27 09:39:06 +0000 UTC]

Like being able to slip through a closed door? Or flying via a gentle breeze? Man, being 2D would rock.

Although you'd undoubtedly turn into a soggy crumpled mess the moment rain hit.

jamieBELOVED In reply to Kharnage [2010-08-27 11:02:48 +0000 UTC]

that is soooo the first thing i thought of, being able to slip under locked doors ahahah
and be able to hide from badies really easierly
and roll yourself up ahah
i didnt think of flying in the breeze
that would be cool

the rain however is a sever let down i quite enjoy sitting in the rain hmmmm

Also death by ceiling fans. Infact being 2D has too many downsides. I think it's a terrible idea and shame on you for thinking of it.

You've ruined christmas with your ideas of 2D shinnannigans.

jamieBELOVED In reply to Kharnage [2010-09-04 12:00:43 +0000 UTC]

hehe death by ceiling fan IS GENIUS! hahaha
i think maybe being 2D is like being 3D has its pros and has its cons ahahah like hiding in walls from bad guys


but then if you were 3D you'd probably be able to go all ninja on them anyway so hmmmmm

Kharnage In reply to AlyGoesMoo [2010-08-21 02:43:18 +0000 UTC]

Sadly naw! It's the sequel to a mod of Half-life 2. It's one of the most popular though.

Thanks though!
