Zombie Chick: Minion of Giygas - by ozwalled

The 'Zombie Chick' from Threed.

For an experimental effect, I added a glossy layer to the sunglasses such that when the painting is hanging on the wall of my apartment, and you're looking at it from a few feet away or more, my livingroom's light is reflecting off the glasses, obscuring the Giygas pattern. When you get closer to it though, your shadow casts onto the painting, canceling the reflection and revealing the Giygas images on the lenses. Each of the lenses is about the size of a quarter. A (bad) picture of the lenses reflecting can be seen here: http://starmen.net/forum/?t=getfile&id=36511&private=0

ozwalled	Starman Super	Like so much of my art, this one started just from sitting there and drawing. A Starman eventually started to appear before me, and a I went with it. I really like how it turned out, too and I'm very happy with the neutral, warm grey background colour I chose to bring the browns and yellows out.	4/27/05
ozwalled	Mr. Molecule Trapped in a Crystal	"Help!" Mr. Molecule is one of those enemies that just about anyone could draw, due to its simplicity. I wanted to draw him too, but do something different. I thought about trying to assemble a large, compound mollectule out of Mr. Mollecules but decided against it, figuring it'd be better suited at a 3D artist. So I decided on a regular formation of Mr. Mollecules, to form a magnified bit of crystal. I made the "atom" balls a bit on the blurry side to illustrate the "whirlingness" of their electrons. ;P	4/27/05
ozwalled	Manly Fish with Spear	Manly Fish, with a harpoon/ spear of sorts. This one was all about goofing around and experimenting with shades of green to give the Manly Fish some texture. I didn't pull off a "scaly" look as much as I'd been hoping, but I think it sort of emulates markings on some fish, like a speckled trout a bit, which I figured to be kinda cool. I also liked the idea of making his arms into prehensile fins.	4/27/05
ozwalled	Soul-Consuming Flame	I'd debated for a while on how to tackle the Soul-Consuming Flame, and finally decided on fewer flames and sort of inner glow. I was thinking of actual images I'd seen before of lava flows, with flames poking up at their surface. Once I'd finished the character itself though, I knew it needed SOME sort of background. I started out with the floor, which I wanted to have a dry, cracked look. I started out haphazardly not expecting much, but like the effect that I was able to get with what I did. Above him, I tried depicting a smokey, dark Fire Springs.	4/27/05
