Been practicing my figure drawing a bit lately and finally had a bit of inspiration in the character of Merle Dixon from The Walking Dead TV series. I don't have a model so I used a pose from posemaniacs.com I plan on transferring this to my PC and working on a Photoshop version in the near future. Mechanical pencil on Drawing pad.
These are a series of Wallpapers I created for the community of players of a Zombie-apocalypse survival game called "DayZ". I used the elements from a Server poster I made for a customer and completely began again. each piece in the wallpaper is a different item that I extracted from different sources and turned into individual PNG files that I could then individually manipulate and place over a separate background. I then altered the items by use of a filter and then added in shading and highlights to give them a more 3-D feel. I then added the items together and introduced an overall shading technique... then added in the logo of the game. By adding in each element individually I was able to alter the background to whatever I wanted. I did these for my own entertainment and presented them to the DayZ community via a forum and their reception was quite appreciated. Made using Photoshop CS4 and a Wacom tablet.
