Description Full-view for details.


Created from sketch to finish in Photoshop7

Ive been dying to do a sci-fi monster piece for a long time now and this one has elements that ive been trying to incorporate into a composition for a long time.

I glanced at a few photos of various abandoned factories, camcorders and CDC biohazard suits for accuracy's sake, in addition to several close-up stills of a couple 80's horror movies used to get the expression I wanted for the foreground victim.



Thank you in advance for coming by my gallery - comments are always welcome.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did drawing it.

A most captivating and stunning piece. I like the slightly tilted angle indicating chaos or something falling, perhaps the 'camera'. The recording feeds a sort of realism to the whole capture.
Technically speaking, I'm in a jaw drop by the skill exercised in this work.

Photomanips I can do, but not digitally draw or paint like you do. You've got some serious skill.

Technical mastery aside, I'm very impressed with the confronting atmosphere; the monsters having a direct gaze at the viewer, very unnerving. The overall darkness of the monster added with those sharp highlights make it a shadowy presence that at the same time has its slimey details right in your face. Technical brilliance is one thing, you get extra points for evoking an emo reaction.. *shudder*

There it is again! The two colors of a fantastic piece of art! Red and Blue! I love this piece. It has the feel of Resident Evil/Halflife and the monster looks like he could have come from Pirates of the Carribean or Star Wars! Fantastic piece!....Oh, did I tell you it was good!?

BradRigney In reply to DarthMater [2008-08-12 22:38:09 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so very much for the video-game/movie comparisons - those are both big influences for me - ironically I havenmt played any recent doom/resident evil games ( lack of time) that people are mentioning.

Thanks for the compliments!

Damn, no wonder this is a DD
Love it, the whole setting is just so typical sci-fi horror (no, thats a good thing ) the monster looks great too TT_TT Also, the reflection/illumination of the red light on the monster's back is fantastic i'd ramble on, and say stuff to justify why this was worth the DD, but hey, I think it speaks for itself ^^
