Description
A while back I bought this book called 'The Winston Effect: The Art and History of Stan Winston Studio'.If you are a big fan of movie creature special effects and animatronics, then you must be familiar with Stan Winston
Reading about how the studio worked on Predator is quite an interesting one, it got me motivated to start working on this.
Been working on this for over a week now, I hope to finish it soon.
14" x 17"
Coloured pencils

ok - is that ordinary coloured paper, or made especially for pencils?

Great work.
The on thing that I do see is that Arnold's upper body is a bit on the thin side...it's not as bulked up as it could be. It's a minor nitpick. You've got something really cool happening in this piece. Keep up the good work.

Thanks. You are right, his upper body isn't as bulked as you'd think it would be. I noticed that when drawing from the ref pic, I think it looks that way because he's slightly leaning over.

Oh my gosh, I'm absolutely loving this piece! The colors are terrific and a great choice of the colored paper too. The details of Arnold's vest and weapon, as well as the Predator are fantastic! Even Arnold's likeness is down to a T! I am so anxious to see this finished! Amazing work Gabe!

i really love colored pencil artwork, i think it gets overlooked because its such a common media, people just dont associate it with fine arts. but you can make colored pencils look so much like an oil painting, its unbelievable what you can do with them! and you seem to feel completely confident in getting that affect, and pushing those limits of the media.
Great job, I cant wait until the finsihed piece.

oh my gawd...this is awesome!
But oh yeah, you have to watermark these things now because people are stealing - such a shame that both things exist
Greeeeat pic though! The only Arnie film where Arnie takes a backseat to someone bigger!

Thanks, man!
I feel like I have no choice, y'know? It is a shame
That's so true! Arnie gets roughed up bigtime by the Predator!

GabeFarber In reply to Creedysgirl [2007-10-27 18:37:44 +0000 UTC]
Only a weeks worth put into it, it would've been done sooner but I went a few days without drawing anything. That's not like me
Thank you for the kind words!

Wow, that's awesome! I'd fave it, but it's a WIP so I'll save that for the final product. I love what you're doing with the textures and layers!

AMAZING!!!!
I don't know if I'm more impressed with the artwork itself or that it was done only in color pencils.

great work so far i like the governator's expression, almost like he might piss himself. well, frankly, so would i... i really like how you created the leaves with the white strokes. also, the predator itself is turning out quite nicely. i'll be looking out for the final piece

Yeah, if the Predator was nearby I'd do the same...
