Brushy-brush!

OK, not speedpaint, evidently, but I'm trying out lineart on the tablet as well, and I just love the way pressure sensitivity affects the brush size. I never liked working with real brushes (drawing or painting) because it's too messy for me. Lovely-jovely!

Trash Film Festival photo report

As you might (or might not) know, Trash Film Festival is an annual movie-award event taking place in Varaždin, Croatia. It specializes in the appreciation of low-budget moviemaking, in the spirit of support and homage to aspiring moviemakers like the archetypal Edward Wood. "The Civilization of Doom" by Pejić Bros. won in the sci-fi category (others being horror, action, martial arts, and audience choice). Since I was heavily involved (let's just say I've heard it said that "there's too much of [my] name in the movie's credits"), I like to think of it as a slice of personal achievement. Of course, Pejić Bros. were the main men on this project, and many other people contributed to it; it was by no means a one man show. The whole process of making this movie was immensely fun and instructive, and it's just frosting on the cake that others also appreciate the result. Well, here it is, finally got the photos. I'm posting some of the highlights. Pejić Bros. (Krešo & Luka) und yours truly:



We distributed the Civilization of Doom Intro a bit late, so I'm the only one we caught (read: faked) reading it:

Yeee-haaw! WRRROOOOOMMMM!!!

 

That's all, folks.

 *** Moving on now, I'll hopefully be posting some speedpaints next, as I've finally bought a tablet! And a Wacom, at that! Hooray! Life is good.

Why So Serious?

Everybody's drawing Heath Ledger these days. I still prefer Burton's Batmans. So there.

Civilization of Doom

A short intro leaflet for the movie Civilization of Doom @ Trash Film Festival 2008



Front page, also poster done earlier.



Pages 2 and 3 will be unfolded as in the picture...

 

... and the back. The brochure bit is largely inspired by the original Duck & Cover promotional video, and then somewhat by the game Fallout (which, in turn, also used said promotional video as inspiration). The movie it promotes largely draws inspiration from Mad Max, though not exclusively (notice zombies). Ah, whoamikidding, it's Mad Max, Fallout, and Dawn of the Dead. There. Happy?

Gunslinger

Vaguely inspired by Stephen King's The Dark Tower. I think. Though this was actually something of an experiment with sharp lines and it's not really a success. His left arm looks shorter than his right one, too. Yes, let's suppose that it was deliberate.

D&D party

The characters in my D&D sessions. The Paladin is the same as in the previous post. This is just a quick sketch; I like to liven up the things with these, usually giving out small drawings of important items that they might find, and stuff.

Paladin of Helm

Another paladin. It's some cosmic coincidence, I draw paladins more than any other class in D&D, and I don't even like them that much. This one's a friend's character in the sessions I'm leading, and his birthday present. :)

The City of Stormfort

A map for a city in my D&D campaign. Yeah, well, I'm bored.

Sketchy-sketch-sketch

Some sketches for a comic I'm working on. Sci-fi.
