Let's Play Halflife 1 (preview)

Hey there kids. First of all happy to report that I finally got the Original Half Life to work on my computer. So naturally Im going to be doing a Let's Play. Here is a sneek peek of the Title card, and a half tech demo, half prelude to the show:





Enjoy!

Full Pricelist

All text taken from my Chipin page at: http://dennisillustration.chipin.com/i-need-a-new-imac

Im a Freelance Illustrator with a background in Graphic Design, and recently my computer of 5 years cad an issue with the Graphics card.after some condescending attitude about buying a new comp to replace my antique.... I basically decided to bite the bullet and get on with raising the money required to get a replacement machine. The price listed is the absolute cheapest Mac I could get which would handle the work I do.

All things considered the money is more of a buffer, as I would end up paying monthly (which in the long run is more money, but at least Im not losing a huge chunk of my money in one gulp).

Now, Im not asking you to donate out of the goodness of your hearts, heck no. You will get something for your money.

$5 - Simple pen sketch of whatever you like



$8 - Pencil Sketch with a little more work and refinement



$14 - Detailed Full Pencil drawing. This is a step above a more basic sketch.



$25 - Fully inked Digital inking. Black and white art at its best.



$30 - Digitally Colored artwork.



$50 - Digital Painting. The most refined and high end of the scale



Any donations above these will be treated on a case to case basis. In order to get your Illustration simply include your email addy in the comment when you donate.

Lets Draw: Nimzana

Finally edited and posted this darn thing, its been a few months sitting on my Harddrive. Commission image for a World of Warcraft player of their Tauren DK.

Quite possibly one of the best lit images Ive done.



Inked using Manga Studio, Its affordable and pretty damn awesome!

Open letter to Linkara

Ok then, I just submitted a comment on Linkara's recent blog here where he was looking for an artist to work on one of his comics, due to the loss of the previous one. I submitted my sketch of his characters based on generic Superhero poses and also linked a few of my art galleries.



Now thing is, I got a TON of Junk in there, and didnt have much room to post the stuff Im comfortable with him judging me on. Yes it helps to see my very WORST work as well as my best but still, I want this gig.

So heres a collection of some of my better pieces which I think will be appropriate to the level of work Im going to be churning out on this project.











So yeah. These are basically some of the images Ive made which showcase both my ability with human figures (the comic samples were from an Anthro comic Im working on) and my own personal standards.

So Linkara, if your interested, please do get in touch even if its just a thanks but no thanks. Im certain your going to find someone who's both competant and punctual enough to manage this project. Best of luck.

But seriously, pick me, Im hungry for the challenge and the money. lol.

Heirs to the Throne update

Been doing some inking and tweaking in Manga Studio, working on setting up the page layouts for the comic as well as trying to tweak the mood and the slow reveal of the protagonist Devillo. also looking at getting ready for creating the free online black and white version online and the printed colour collection.

Here's the Beef

Fixed the weird tech bug I was having with Manga Studio, turns out selecting tones swaps the layers pallet with a separate one. Now I know! yay, also finished this just before 2 AM. Very happy with the results!



Now time to work on a comic......

Yet More Beef

Yes Im posting another update on the Tauren DK commish. For some bloody weird reason Mangastudio spazzed out and flattened all the layers as well as auto saving the document. Now thats bloody annoying. Still the pic is looking at least competent.



Now working on tone, and atm results are encouraging, if only I could fix the REPEATED layers issue. darn new programs with NO INSTRUCTIONS!!!!!!!

Oh, also loaned Bexa my copy, hope she has fun!

Feels Very Flood-ish

Just working on the colours for a Commission and the colour scheme I ended up using has really turned out Flood-ish to me. And for those of you who dont know, the Flood is basically a parasitic Alien type thingie. So its all Horror in space kinda vibe.

Heres the lineart:


And heres the current colour scheme:
