Description This is not a new picture. I wasn't going to put it here, but eh, why not. My DA has been getting neglected lately.

Awesomely unusual. I love the thick atmosphere in the background.

Where do you upload if not here?
Very cool picture, the simplistic monochrome background really draws the eye to the figures, and I love the thing on the wall, it's so neat looking. It has a really organic feel to it while still seeming really mechanical somehow. Neat!

some of my favorite things biomechanics ( the wall thingy) and hornnnnsss.
coloring is fantastic as always, however I feel like there isn't as much tension in the left figures pose as there should be. hmmmm

Thanks! Ooh really? I haven't seen much from Half Life, but the few creatures and things I've seen have been very interesting looking.

cyberwulfe In reply to zarathus [2008-05-19 15:36:17 +0000 UTC]

Hmm, I wonder if you went to Google --> Images and typed in "Half Life concept art" if you'd get a lot of original designs. When I bought Half-Life 2, I picked up "Raising The Bar" which pretty much tells the entire story, from how Valve got started, through Half-Life, and all of the other games leading up to HL2. Lots of WIP stuff, things that were removed from the game, and concept sketches.

I hope to see more of your art again, you've been dead a long time.

Then again, I'm not one to talk. I guess we both need to work on that.

zarathus In reply to rajewel [2008-05-15 05:08:21 +0000 UTC]

No, you haven't uploaded anything in a long while. Submit more!
I draw a lot more than I show on Deviantart. I usually keep my DA gallery to show artwork that I'm reasonably happy with, but seeing that I don't really like anything I do anymore, I may as well upload whatever I do. I guess.

rajewel In reply to zarathus [2008-05-15 06:19:13 +0000 UTC]

You and me both. I just find my stuff boring and repetitive. Unfortunately, work with new subject matter comes out too embarrassing to post xD. Its sort of lead to a vicious cycle where I don't really draw much anymore.

I don't know if you have this, but the stuff I've done that I like the most gets the most negative response and often the stuff I like the least gets the most positive. That really screws with your head.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

zarathus In reply to rajewel [2008-05-15 06:57:41 +0000 UTC]

Oh man, I can completely relate. There are certain themes I feel I use far too much and get repetitive, and most of everything else I do turns out looking... average
But from looking at others' galleries, repetitive themes isn't necessarily a bad thing. Many people I'll watch especially for the themes they use frequently in their work, rather than the variety they're capable of.

And I do get that too. For example, my Ouroboros picture, which I considered not uploading because I thought it sucked, has gotten far more attention than anything else I've done. Its weird how things work like that >>

rajewel In reply to zarathus [2008-05-15 08:40:51 +0000 UTC]

I know what you mean on the themes too, I have a few people I watch for the stuff they normally draw too. Its just a case I can't seem to put up with myself when I try to draw stuff. Yay for hypocricy.

Your Ouroboros picture was really creatively rendered though, I actually remember when I saw that one the first time. I also really like your picture with the purple and grey dragon crawling/against that rock cliff, I loved the wing texture.

I get the best response on my really old stuff, and art I do out of obligation for real life people. I tend to avoid using my style on that stuff so it ends up being boring animal art xD. I drew chickens for someone once (it ended up being a good guess though, their whole house was full of chicken related stuff, I kid you not. Even the back splash of the stove had chicken print >_>.
