And then there were 3.
I can't help it, I'm excited about the new Star Wars TV series. The 3D animation stylization I originally despised, but it's growing on me.

Zombie Panic is another link Xhaztol pointed me toward. It's a half life two mod that's fairly unique. Players enter a city and 1-4 of them will be infected and become a zombie. The human players must stay alive, and the zombie players must kill, and thus infect the surviving humans. If you die as a human, you rise as a zombie. Trying to survive the duration is very fun! Highly recommended if you own half life 2.

All of these were created 100% digitally. I think that I have retained my inking style despite the fact that its now digital instead of done on paper and scanned in. I may look into creating anything I intend to ink 100% on the computer from now on; however, things where I do not want inked I will likely be creating in my sketchbook and scanning in the old way.

One important thing to bear in mind is that the tablet's moniter is dark. You cannot bring it up to white being white. White will always be light grey, and all of your darker shades of color will appear black. It's not completely horrible, but it is noticible and you will need to verify the colors on the second display (your computer or laptop) often to make sure that they are actually what you want.

	Ah thanks. I try to find something about this issue. If there's a way to change the brightness/kontrast settings. Maybe there is. Thank you for this input. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Star wars link cool. Cant wait for it. I have Half Life 2 for my PS3, but I known several people that will enjoy that enjoy it. You art work flows, it's like a photo of water, it's still yet you can see the motion. I like this piece, have you tried your style on things like the tmnt or disney's gargoyles? Oh and can you do fur? (Reply to this)

	I've always been in awe of your inking/lining skills, how clean and fluid the lines look (even before you got the new tablet). Any tips you might share in creating great linework? (Reply to this)

Zombie Panic was alright, but it lacked a certain oh-god-oh-god-we're-all-going-to-die-ness. So, I present to you,

http://www.zombiemaster.org/

One team made up of survivors, the other a sole player, with an RTS-esqe format at his fingertips and the ability to spawn zombies of various types all over. Simple mission-objective based levels ("Get parts for the truck", etc).

Only issues so far are that if you don't set a few ground rules for the ZM, he always, always wins, and in unfun, cheesy ways. They usually just amount to "don't spawn on top of people", and "Don't use lethal traps, because traps are just about impossible to avoid".

	Ugh. I can see what you mean about the Clone Wars animation. :p Then again, I hated the animation style of the original clone Wars Series on the cartoon network and that eventually grew on me. (Reply to this)

	How did you make the eyes glow? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	neondragon 2008-02-13 11:11 pm UTC (link)
	The eyes aren't glowing. They're simply a very saturated color - cyan - placed next to very dull colors (the greys). Bright next to dull almost makes the bright colors seem to glow! Not really a trick so much as color theory =3 (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Zombies... squees As for the dragons.. they remind me of the worm from Monster Rancher! Not sure if you ever played that, but it had four eyes like that too. I think them dragons could use some pinchers.. or blades..or ..or.. ROCKET LAUNCHERS! (Reply to this)

	Totally not the same media, but Urban Dead and Hell Rising are both zombie/survivor text based games. XD It's like an old-school version of what you posted. Out of curiosity, do your drawings these days go into world-building or character building, or are they all stand-alones? Does this dragon fella have a story behind him, for instance?
