I knew it!

sweet n sour on Sep 04 '11 at 3:13pm

why is he so small, is it Tom Cruise?

fatheed on Sep 04 '11 at 3:15pm

Haha! He was bigger, but the car looked too small. If there's a consensus, then I'll make some edits. Thanks!

fatheed on Sep 04 '11 at 3:16pm

Yeah I spose he needs to be bigger. Ta!

fatheed on Sep 04 '11 at 3:30pm

Fixed, I think.

randyotter3000 on Sep 04 '11 at 3:36pm

Are you looking for crits or just showing us?

fatheed on Sep 04 '11 at 3:39pm

both, really. I've already fixed it following one crit.

randyotter3000 on Sep 04 '11 at 3:49pm

I think the others are so good because there is a "holy hell he wont survive" kinda feel, whereas this still feels a little too easy for our ninja hero so I guess perhaps more zombies or something big lurking like the Tank from left 4 dead or one of those big resident evil guys. The foggy scene and the car look spot on otherwise.

fatheed on Sep 04 '11 at 4:00pm

Yeah I know what you mean. I guess for this one, I didn't really want a epic, cinematic scenario - just a much creepier one.

I wanted to do something using mist/fog for this horror comp - on the principle that not being able to fully see something or how many of them there are fully makes it more terrifying.

I wan't trying to 1-up The Horde, just a kind of a spin in a different direction.

fatheed on Sep 04 '11 at 4:01pm

An I want more Silent Hill than Left 4 Dead. The original Horde was much more L4D

randyotter3000 on Sep 04 '11 at 4:09pm

ah ok fair enough that invalidates most of what I said really lol something big/ominous lurking near the back would be cool tho if you could fit it in

sweet n sour on Sep 04 '11 at 4:10pm

yeah I think that's better

how about some vanquished zombies or something behind him in the foreground, maybe his wife and their baby behind the car or just a baby in a push-chair shogun assassin style.

skindapple on Sep 04 '11 at 4:15pm

awesome work!

d3d on Sep 04 '11 at 4:17pm

i reckon the car could look rougher. maybe a number sprayed on the door and a hubcap missing, but it looks great as it is. i just like to interfere.

speedyjvw on Sep 04 '11 at 4:20pm

I think his stance is a bit too stiff. I want a bit more "bring it on"

Adhesive Hippo on Sep 04 '11 at 4:40pm

What if you actually added some fog in there? It could help with the eerie-ness of it.

Noh_Body on Sep 04 '11 at 4:46pm

Man what I wouldn't give to get my hands on this scene. Love the atmosphere.

jublin on Sep 04 '11 at 4:54pm

i like aaron's idea of a distant giant creeper in the back. Add some smurfs, it could use the blue.

tesco on Sep 04 '11 at 4:58pm

rad

ivejustquitsmoking on Sep 04 '11 at 5:09pm

I like the suggested fog..

fatheed on Sep 04 '11 at 5:10pm

Cheers.

That's a nice, touch, hippo. I like that.

My original sketch included a woman holding a child and a revolver in her left hand because the scene is arranged in a way that it kind of made to have someone hiding behind the car. It made for a much more interesting narrative - but I figured it might be too much.

fatheed on Sep 04 '11 at 5:12pm

Yeah I wanted solid spot colours but seeing as I started to distress/halftone the print with the fog on the zombies, I might as well give it an all-over fog.

fatheed on Sep 04 '11 at 7:03pm

I listened to you, Joe - and I changed the stance slightly by raising the arms but I wasn't digging it. It's not meant to be quite as gung-ho as the Horde.

More sort of understated and patient. Like he knows he has to work his way through them with as little noise and fuss as possible. You dig?

speedyjvw on Sep 04 '11 at 7:18pm

CazKing on Sep 04 '11 at 7:19pm

I like the woman and child idea. Maybe it's coz I'm a mum it makes the whole scene scarier for me knowing she is obviously so vulnerable right there in that moment trying to protect her child.

tronbeardsley on Sep 04 '11 at 7:19pm

I like the touch of splattered blood on the hood, nice sequel!

xiv on Sep 04 '11 at 7:29pm

The way the grass is done bothers me. It seems a bit too clean and inorganic.

xiv on Sep 04 '11 at 7:30pm

Add in the woman/child.

fatheed on Sep 04 '11 at 8:06pm

You guys are all fussy bastards.

fatheed on Sep 04 '11 at 8:07pm

And for that, I love you.

ivejustquitsmoking on Sep 04 '11 at 8:17pm

looking great!

how many colors would that be? just curious

agrimony on Sep 04 '11 at 9:20pm

oh man something big lurking in the back would realy be epic

Braniel on Sep 04 '11 at 9:21pm

This is awesome!

5eth on Sep 04 '11 at 9:22pm

It needs a zombie dinosaur.

melanies felony on Sep 04 '11 at 9:27pm

This is phenomenal- I agree about putting the woman and child in. The textures are amazing btw.

speedyjvw on Sep 04 '11 at 9:28pm

fog over the moon too

dandingeroz on Sep 04 '11 at 9:33pm

wow this awesome!

Johnny Baboon on Sep 04 '11 at 9:35pm

"Come at me bro!"

Johnny Baboon on Sep 04 '11 at 9:36pm

at first i thought this blog was going to be that abs made you pregnant.

fatheed on Sep 04 '11 at 9:50pm

Haha!

Thank everyone. Trying out all these fixes. I've put the lady and kid back in. I thiiiink I made it work

Just doing the grass, then I'll try out the tank zombie. See if that's gonna fly. Then hopefully, I'll make the deadline.

Caddywompus on Sep 04 '11 at 9:50pm

If you're wanting more of a hopeless or perilous situation giving the car a flat and the hero mundane weapons could help. Perhaps a tire iron?

xiv on Sep 04 '11 at 9:57pm

flat tire
mundane weapon

do that.

speedyjvw on Sep 04 '11 at 10:24pm

We are all getting a cut if this gets printed right?

Resistance on Sep 04 '11 at 10:34pm

Put it on a shirt. I get part of the cut now right? For giving good input?

For realz tho, this is great.

fatheed on Sep 04 '11 at 11:09pm

Updatez. I tried it with the zombie Tank, and it was kinda funny (pushing zombie out of the way) but with the kid and the chick in there too there's just too much going on and it was a bit comical - or a bit confusing for people, potentially.

Gave them a flat tire - even though they were already out of gas!

I fogged up the moon already but as the fog is the tee colour, all it does is fade the moon further.

I changed the grass up. Hopefully you find this more to your liking.

speedyjvw on Sep 04 '11 at 11:14pm

I meant like a cloud blocking the moon, or like a gradient from the bottom up

fatheed on Sep 04 '11 at 11:16pm

it was the first thing I did after drawing the moon and I prefer it like this - just faint through the fog. I still respect you though.

fatheed on Sep 04 '11 at 11:19pm

I want to know what people think of the hiding child and woman.

They have just 2 bullets left. You know what she has to do if our hero is overwhelmed.

Johnny Baboon on Sep 04 '11 at 11:21pm

i like the perceptive. it's like a fisheye view.

EN AJUSTES on Sep 04 '11 at 11:24pm

I like the presence of the girl and the boy. I think they fit.

Also, this will print by the time season 2 of The Walking Dead is on. You've got it all sorted out!
