Description
This one took me DAYS of work. I honestly believe I worked enough hours on this to make up a handful of full days. I've never worked on something requiring so much attention, but at the same time I've never worked on something that I am this happy with.
LLAMAGEDDON is here, thanks to those meddling Pirates and Ninjas. Now is unleashed practically any kind of apocolypse possible - Alien subjugation, AI self-preservation, natural, and viral. And it's up to our heroic LlamaLANers to save the day. Somehow.
This one gave me scope to refer to several popular cultural icons.
Before now I've used cell-shading style. In more recent posters I've complimented the cell-shading with subtle gradients and smoother highlighting/shading in some places, but not all. With this one, I'm going much further, steering clear from a very definite cell-shading style.
The quality poster effects (scratches, torn edges, etc) came from Adam 'Supernorn' Riches. The PSD can be found here: [link]

And the Combine Striders? Now that is something I'd like to see. Martians vs. Combine!

And yes, Combine Striders! You see, it's a battle of big walking alien things with guns that'd make a spectacular spectator sport.

My this is one excellent piece, you definitely know your way around digital media and several techniques. I really like the movie poster theme, you worked nicely with the colour so that the piece still looks like a whole. furthermore I really like the action on the lower part of the piece, it shows that you can work in a challeging perspective and are not affraid to provide your piece with a lot of detail
