Wow, you're seriously are talented!

Posted by: Zentron Mar 20 2008, 2:34 AM

Thanks, although those ones kinda range from 10-4 years old(yes, in that order)!

These range from 4 years to recent:

you do have awesome talent. wish i could draw like that. takes forever for me to do something like that.

Posted by: Zentron Mar 23 2008, 1:47 AM

Thanks, the background came out better than I was expecting!

Now for a few choice cuts from a fan-Manga I've been working on for a bit... and a couple from a new one as well:

I like them!

Posted by: Zentron Apr 23 2008, 10:26 PM

Glad you do Next is image of Bloom.... my way

Posted by: WinxFairyAlianne Apr 24 2008, 12:40 PM

I cant wait!

Posted by: Zentron Jun 11 2008, 11:33 AM

Right then, I finished this a short while ago, it's the next page to the Totally Spies fan-comic that I posted earlier:

http://img194.imagevenue.com/img.php?loc=loc217&image=10561_TS__Forbidden_Love_02b_122_217lo.jpg

Hope it pleases!

Oh and yes, I still have an image of Bloom to post later!!

Posted by: P-girl Jun 11 2008, 12:03 PM

I like it, your style is pretty cool. Only.....

wasn't Alex dark-skinned?

Posted by: Zentron Jun 12 2008, 1:11 AM

Ebony really, though in several screen-shots that I've worked off, she's more orange than anything. I took the character colours from the mid-range of shots that I have archived!

Posted by: Ranma Jun 14 2008, 6:21 PM

IT'S THE EFFING GUYVER!!!!!!
Okay, that's awesome. I remember when I was like...12, drawing awesome guyver pics. lol.
Guyver is old school, and awesome. You drew an awesome, old school guyver. You are awesome. I love logic.

Posted by: Zhanneel Jun 14 2008, 8:05 PM

Just noticed the Dungeons and Dragon tribute. That looks so great =). Will you be a professional illustrator/animator or maybe you already are? It's a great hobby, but for your effort you should be getting paid, lol.

Posted by: Zentron Jun 15 2008, 12:51 AM

Heh, thanks, but I did that Guyver drawing in 1997...ish

Damn right I should be getting paid lol It would be great if I was, but I doubt in my current state, that will be viable just yet, I need to go through some serious practice before I go professional! I got my Bachelor of Arts Degree in animation 4 years ago now, and I am rather out of practice Though good job I won't be out of practice from my Diploma of Art & Design

In regarding my D&Dc tribute... well, I may have said they will be the last images, but that's of chapter 2, chapter 1 is still a go to a certain extent... so, here are two of my turning point pages:

http://img356.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ch1page05gv9.jpg http://img218.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ch1page06gi7.jpg

I call them turning point pages, as I stopped doing these as I saw I was still being rather 1D in places, went off and did some practice, then came back to finish them. So I hope you like them.... even for their defects

Oh, and the lady in the last frame on the second page is my take on Presto's mother(we never saw her in the series and I wanted to do something a little diferent).

Posted by: Zhanneel Jun 15 2008, 4:00 AM

Fabulous . I really ought to watch the whole series again as I've forgotten most of it, but nothing a little wikipedia browsing can't fix. Again though, excellent work. And if you can't get a job on your skills then the world is blind. Seriously, look at the smut that cartoon network and nickelodeon have been producing lately. You should easily be able to top their drawing skills...but then again, I'm not the the idiot wagging my finger and making decisions for future programming. The comics are a great way to get around that and still be able to put your own imagination into your work. I've only recently gotten into comics (namely western-influenced ones), so I'm coming around to the idea that they can be enjoyable =P.

Posted by: Boo Jun 19 2008, 11:38 PM

WOW! You are a great artist! (Do you do this for a living or something? If not, you should look at it as being a potential career.) You've got a great talent! Very impressive.

Posted by: Zentron Jun 21 2008, 9:52 PM

No, I don't do this sort of thing for a living, which is annoying as I am wasting my 3 Diploma's in art, Film & TV Design and a Bachelor of Arts Degree in animation.... but that's life, it sucks

Posted by: Another Morning Jun 21 2008, 10:41 PM

Wow, those are really cool. I especially like the D&D stuff. =D

Keep it up, this is excellent!

Posted by: Zentron Jun 21 2008, 11:26 PM

Thanks

Below is an old line test of mine..... it's not for more than a few seconds, so don't expect anything amazing:

*Psst* (whispering softly) You forgot to change the name of this topic to 'Zen's Fan & Original'!! Just wanted to remind you

Behold! (Sorry, it just feels so good to say that)

Ah don't worry about it... I won't tell

And thanks!!! No more hijackers

Posted by: Zentron Aug 14 2010, 1:49 AM

It has been a while since I posted any art... sorry about that, though to start, a Winx wallpaper I was doing a while back, which I managed to post some of the characters on their own for, but never the whole thing, plus some other pics of mine

http://img112.imageshack.us/i/winxwall02jq2.jpg/ http://img515.imageshack.us/i/contemplation00.jpg/ http://img40.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=32206_RoboArt_122_422lo.jpg http://img822.imageshack.us/i/zentronfulldesignbyzent.jpg/ http://img822.imageshack.us/i/conantheadventurerbyzen.jpg/

BTW, the second-to-last pic is a redrawing of my character 'Zentron', which I designed from way back when, and from where I get my username

Posted by: Fortress Guy Aug 16 2010, 8:27 PM

I did not know you were into D&D Zhanneel. It can be quite fun with the right group and mindset, really bringing out one's creativity. I am sure that local establishments that host weekend games would be eager to welcome a female playa.

Of course, it is a hobby that is sometimes made fun of. Like with the "shooting the magic missile at the darkness" video. C'est la Vie!

Posted by: Zhanneel Aug 18 2010, 12:02 AM

These old posts are coming back to haunt me! Someone outed me on the D&D past. >_> Okay...or lack of, as of yet. (However, I have a short history with LARPing...)

As to what Fort is talking about regarding a funny Magic Missle parody is through youtube. I would link it here, but it it's more PG-13, in one or two references. However, do a youtube search for "An 8-Bit Reenactment of Dungeons and Dragons". ALL fantasy lovers would get a kick out of it. Just watch out for the Mountain Dew Fighter.

And now back to Zen! You've made some very nice additions to this topic since I've been away. Your self-named Zentron character serious buckled attire. I like those big boots. The victory fist is classic. The Robocop picture? You did all of that shading? That's fantastic. And maybe one of my favorites is the Conan picture because it's Conan! Animated Conan too, double awesome.

Posted by: Zentron Aug 18 2010, 5:18 PM

I decided to do a proper redraw my character Zentron, after a wait of just 16 years. And yes, I did all of that RoboCop shading, completely by hand of course, and with a clumbsy mouse too And finally, Conan, I actually did that a good few months ago, when I got the first season on DVD, I decided to do my own take of that moment in the title sequence.... though now I have the whole series onb DVD, which I got from America and I am very happy about that

Posted by: Zhanneel Aug 18 2010, 10:32 PM

I cannot believe you are not getting paid for this work. Or maybe you were at one time? Or maybe you finally are not that's it been a while since I've been here, ha. Your creations blow most prime time animes and animated kids shows out of the water. I am wowed every time I look at the RoboCop shading. Pardon my exuberance again, but it's really good! Don't animation and gaming companies know a good thing when we (the audience peons) see one? In one way or another I hope you get some awesome recognition.

Posted by: Zentron Aug 18 2010, 11:23 PM

Nope... not getting paid a single penny I just do it because I wants to

Again, glad you like, here's a couple of work inprogress... they're around 75-80% done, I just need some more free time to get them done completely! Anywayz, here you go:

http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q232/Zentron/RVT/?action=view&current=DestroyComplexBGPreview3.jpg http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q232/Zentron/RVT/?action=view&current=PeepShow.jpg
The first is a backround image which will have about 3 tripod Terminators walking along the ground, one which will very impressively walk into the frame. The second is part of a short panning sequence, showcasing my work with multiple light sources in movement, think lights from passing cars, street lights etc, and you'll be about there

Hope they please, even though they are just WIPs

Posted by: Zentron Dec 11 2010, 2:06 AM

Wowie, August since I last posted any artwork...

Well, just one, before I post my pic of Bloom

Posted by: Fortress Guy Jan 18 2011, 6:31 AM

Hey, that is a nice work up of Sheila. I am glad to see another fan of that show. Some of the episodes were rather serious.

Have you done any other colour art like this?

Anyway, keep it up as you seem to enjoy it and are good at it. You captured a lot of that 80's style in your colouring.

Posted by: Zentron Jan 21 2011, 8:34 PM

Thanks, and of course, I did a pic of Diana a while ago, I just finished colouring my pic of Hank, now I just need to do the background!

Here is my pic of DIana:

Apologies for the rather naff background!

Posted by: phoenixprincess555 Jan 29 2011, 1:18 AM

Wow, really nice artwork! You have a very nice style.

Posted by: Zentron Feb 12 2011, 12:09 AM

Thanks phoenixprincess555

Now for my next piece, the third installement of my D&Dc drawings:



Hope it also pleases

Zomg, that's so good! =)

Here's a work-in-progress pic, so you can see how I do some of my pics:



Notice that some of the strands are just flat colour in this pic? That's because I am using my technique of 'dodge & burn'!

This technique involves laying down the base flat colour (in the shape of what needs to be), then using the 'burn' tool, I darken the flat colour into various shades where I need to, and using some creative switching between the 3 burn settings (Highlights, Midtones & Shadow), I can vary the colour of the shading as well.

Now when the burning is done, I then use the 'dodge' tool to create the highlights, again by switching between the dodge settings (same as the burn ones), I can vary the colour of the highlights as well. The result of all this, is what you see above! I hope this has been somewhat informative

Posted by: Zentron Jun 18 2011, 11:35 AM

Here is my second to last rehash of the ATOM characters:

By far, he was the hardest to do!

Posted by: winxclubrox23 Jun 19 2011, 12:45 AM

What program are you using to do this? Just Photoshop? Or is it a combination of things?

Posted by: Zentron Jun 19 2011, 1:30 AM

Well, for the last few pictures, I did them purely in Photoshop, though normally, I draw my image on paper, scan the lines in and then add the colour with Photoshop!

Posted by: winxclubrox23 Jun 19 2011, 9:30 PM

Awesome, yeah me too. =)

Posted by: Zentron Jun 25 2011, 6:37 PM

Right, well, another pic done the same way, draw in pencil, scanned into the computer and coloured in Photoshop:

http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/232/totallycrossovergatheri.jpg/

In no particular order, the characters are: Alex from Totally Spies, Daphne from Scooby-Doo, Kim Possible, Diana from Dungeons & Dragons animated series and Cyana Baahra from Malo Korrigan.

Hope you like
