I've been meaning to comment on this pic for a while now. Dude, who are you and what have you done with the REAL TwistedMentaliy?!?! I kid. This is awesome man. I really can't get over how much better you keep getting. You friggin' nailed the hummingbird, and the details throughout the picture are just terrific. I can't believe you've actually gotten me to a hummingbird drawing...but you have. Ace work brotha.

Wow, that is out of the ordinary. I kept looking around for the skull...or the zombie..or the flesh eating creature....but...there was none.

Your shading techniques are getting better, and stronger. Your eye for determining tone is better too. Great work

thanks dude. believe i thought about adding like a little fairy into the mix that was hunting the humming bird, lol.

when you talk about "Your eye for determining tone is better too. Great work " do you mean value ?

thanks dude, your comments mean alot.

Snigom In reply to twistedmentality [2008-03-30 23:48:57 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, tone consists of the values of dark, medium, and light. You work is exhibiting more range of tones.

Awesome work, Geo! Instant fav!

It's a nice change of direction for you. I think it challenges and improve your skills when you come out of your comfort zone sometimes. But don't stray too long, I still want to see some of that amazing horror from you!

Same thing goes for you...if I don't get a comment from you, I know I've done something crappy!

I hear that, I try my hardest to throw horror in most of my series some kind of subtle way even if it's not related.

lol so when can i expect a zombie from you ?

odavis In reply to twistedmentality [2008-03-31 21:38:05 +0000 UTC]

A Zombie from me? Oh, wow... that would be cool to do that again. I was actually thinking of working on another series of fantasy art, soon. I really enjoyed doing the last one. The one I did of those Zombies attacking that mother was fun! It just took so much out of me. You have to REALLY create, you know! That's why my hat goes off to you, dude! That kind of stuff takes some serious thought, not just taking a model and simply duplicating.

Anyway, my Fantasy series seems to be getting the most positive response out of all of my series, so I think it's only fair to do another, right? And this time include a Zombie mini-series somewhere in it! Hahaha...we'll see.

What's new or next on your agenda?

twistedmentality In reply to odavis [2008-03-31 23:38:54 +0000 UTC]

your fantasy series kicked ass. i would love to see another. that doesn't take away from the great model illos you do.

whats next on my agenda ? well a super detailed zombie in pencil.

odavis In reply to twistedmentality [2008-04-03 19:20:42 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! You were one of the whole inspirations for it, man! Seriously, if I hadn't met you on here, I that series would have never happened.

In my upcoming series I do have somewhat of a zombie-like piece...it's just very dark, creepy and cold. I can't wait for you to see it.

How about you? What's next on your agenda? You are so good at staying motivated and productive. I have long periods where I can't think of anything to do. I get "artist-block" all the time, until something hits me out of the blue.

Awesome, I can't wait to see what you think.

Sorry to hear that things at home are hectic for ya, I know how that can cut into your creative time and cripple your thought process, I hope it gets easier, and soon.

Nice detail in the birds feathers which isn't easy to do. I like the little touch of the ladybug amongst the rose. Nice job, dude.
