Cheers for all the nice comments everyone 

Yes I did notice the Russian, Frisco, but was a tad confused by it. I'm not sure it quite works, especially the verb zed bit. But then, there was I thinking "Ha, Сразу...he's trying to write 'Crazy' Cyrillicised, but it doesn't work out like that! Ha, I should tell him that he's in effect written 'Srazu' which isn't even a Russian word!

Oh, right, it is a Russian word..."

So anyway, "Сразу"*, ФрискоСемнадцать? Очень хорошо, товарищ...

* Now that I know what Сразу actually means...

Pity about the Red Dwarf film. I'd love for it to materialise but I'm not holding my breath.

I seem to recall that our own Kryten wrote a 'fic along those lines, but, of course now that I want it, I can't find the link. 

[Reply #602 on:]

I remember that fic!  But I can't seem to find it at any of the usual spots, either.

Thought I'd throw up the latest "Sly-Fox" sig as this is general art thread   

It's zombie related, and what's not to love about zombies?

Even managed to squeeze a Futurama related missing person into the poster:


And if there is anyone out there that hasn't seen 'Shaun of The Dead' yet, you should get out there and grab the DVD pronto.

Neat stuff!

[Reply #605 on:]

Yeah, the wanted poster is cool.  Great movie to spoof as well, loved it.

It was supposed to say "At once comrade Zed!" but I somehow screwed it up. Not sure where the verb thing came from either?

awesome work sly fox

[Reply #608 on:]

Okay, second attempt at a good kung-fu pose for Leela (the first is back on page 11, but it ain't that great). Disclosure - I loosely based the pose from something I found on a webcomic.

Am much happier with the dynamics of this pic. And I know she's missing her wristcomp, it's still in sketch stage. Was thinking of making Nudar from BBS the victim, sort of what would have happened if Bender had missed blocking her.

Wu_konguk is right, the millisecond after the impact is best...   

[Reply #609 on:]

Awesome action shot.... The kicking foot looks a little off... but awesome shot indeed.

Gracias. 

Must say i've been having a quick browse through this thread, there is some nice stuff in here. Kudos to all responsible. 

[Reply #611 on:]

Nice stuff Sly-Fox, really enjoyed it 
Had another dream about zombies though so in some respects I was a bit "argh!"

But don't mind me

El-Man, the phrase "kick ass" really does fit in with that pic - nice one!

Сейчас я понял...
Ну...ничево страшново... 

[Reply #612 on:]

That "Wanted" poster is very clever!

I also like the kick ass Leela.

[Reply #613 on:]

@ El
Ahh that is better. Also my advice was useful?....this is unprecedente, perhaps a little more advice then :P

Depending on how much damage you want the kick to have done, you could leave a spit/blood trail from the mouth of the atackee a la Raging Bull. This cna give the direction of the kick with out having to resort to speedlines.

Plonking the other two finished recently in here as well, for the sake of consistency.

Frisco17 has already translated the jar though   

[Reply #615 on:]

Great stuff Sly-Fox! I love the heads-in-a-jar pic a whole lot! I think it's my favorite out of all of these here, but they're all really good!

[Reply #616 on:]

Cheers 

Spot the Fry-referenced hair-style on Sly-Fox in a jar? 

[Reply #617 on:]

El Man, simply amazing picture. You can never have too many pictures of Leela kicking ass.

Damn, that's subtle. Very nice. I love how the sign seems to suggest that Fry broke the other jar.   

[Reply #618 on:]

another great job sly, keep up the good work

  I hadn't thought of that, but now you mention it; yes, that's exactly what I was aiming for   

[Reply #620 on:]

It's like a "Fry was here and broke this" sign. I suppose Planet Express probably has a ton of those lying around.

[Reply #621 on:]

[Zaphod]Is that a piece of fairy cake?[/Zaphod]

[Reply #622 on:]

You're right! He does have Fry's hairdo. Very sneaky! But that's why your name is Sly-Fox. 

I've got a piece of art for you all today, why not.

[Reply #623 on:]

Sweet!

I demand color!

[Reply #624 on:]

Color you shall someday get sir! I'm hoping to get Photoshop this summer so I can go back and epically color all my pieces that're currently in black and white.

[Reply #625 on:]

Neat! Looks a bit like an airline stewardess outfit. 

[Reply #626 on:]

Very neat! Love how you've put the signature and date into her neck tie. Quite interested in what the costume/uniform is all about 

Love the pics Sly-Fox. Had to chunkle when I saw the "no-Frys" sticker 
Great attention to detail in all of them 

[Reply #627 on:]

Cute-  nice Speed Racer reference!

[Reply #628 on:]

great work zoidy

You hit the nail on the head! I changed the G to fit the actual Speed Racer logo and added the extra jazz on the sleeves to make it look more futuristic as it seems that arm additions are all the rage in the 30th century! As to why I put my signature in a much more secluded spot... I'm trying to find hiding places for my signature. That whole art law thing that came up a while ago got me wanting to do it. It's still quite noticeable because the dates are floating around (I can't let that go for some reason) but it's unique and I hope it keeps that whole "art law" thing from taking my newer pieces...

Long-winded and most likely nonsensical post aside... Thanks for liking my latest work!

[Reply #630 on:]

Very good picture there Zoidy.

To be honest, I don't like signatures being in the way of a piece, it distracts from the piece as well.  However, I also think artists should get credit for what they do, so placing a signature in a discrete manner like that is perfect.  It seems like it goes with the piece much more that way. 

[Reply #631 on:]

Matt Groening places his signature on Homer Simpson all the time. Ever notice how his hair and his ear often form a M and a G?

Oh, and that's the cutest picture of Leela I've seen for a long while. Pristine line quality.

[Reply #632 on:]

Cute picture ProfZ. I love it. 

[Reply #633 on:]

Hmmm, I can sure see there's a lot of positive feedback on this picture. I should totally keep doing pieces like this now and again.... Quality of quantity is always good.

[Reply #634 on:]

Yes you should PZ

[Reply #635 on:]

This is my most recent finished project, even though I got some render's still to do I conisder it finished. Its going to end up in my showreel, which my M1A1 Abrams might appear in.
This is in fact just a render test.

I want to go out and take photos for the background, but winter has kinda stopped that.
My current 3d WIPs are a GT40, female character model, and the various art assets for Mirage

[Reply #636 on:]

As awesome as that is....I must see the Abrams....NOW!

[Reply #637 on:]

Neat. What raytracer are you using?

[Reply #638 on:]

Unfortunally I don't have a still render of the Abrams, only a poor quality turn table. I need the sorsen 3 codec for After Effects XD

For the car I did a diffuse pass, a specular pass thats duplicated in photoshop, and an ambient occlusion pass, with all the passes done with Mental Ray in Maya 2008 Combined in Photoshop over a photo.

[Reply #639 on:]

You've got Maya?

I'm stuck with Blender because I'm cheap.
