Artist's Comments

A great character from a great game :)

This has to be one of the most time consuming and challenging pieces i've done in a long time. You don't realize how many colours are in one image until you analyse it properly (which is what i obviously had to do here).

Most challenging part = the face. Must've spent about 2 hours just on that, finally nailed it in the end though (well i think so anyway =P).

Happy with the outcome - some of the blending could have been done a bit better though (mainly the gun).

Done in Photoshop and Painter.

Comments welcome :)

Matt :D

P.S. If you haven't played Gears of War i suggest you stop what you're doing and go and buy it now!

Great artwork, even if I don't know the character. The detail is amazing, perfect realism, and the face looks really good. Worth the effort :)

Very well done, looks like painting. What type of brush did you mostly use? Oh and I would stop what I'm doing and buy GOW, but there's this hurdle of getting the X360 first :D

Keep it up :)

Hey, thanks for the comment :) I used the standard airbrush tool in photoshop to get all the base colours done, then I used different blender brushes in painter to obviously blend them together lol.

Thanks again :D
