My entry for the contest

hope you like it

My entry for the tomb raider contest, just like in school i kept saying to myself "pffft, i've got loooads of time....." Then panicking the day before deadline. XD
Anyway hope you guys like it, the face took literally 10 million hours as i was forever changing it. Still not entirely happy with it.

Here is the body ref: [link]

I love Assassin's Creed.
I tried to catch all the epicness of it in this picture
Took me forever to finish, but was fun though.

Hope you guys like it and please leave a comment!

PS.:

Photoshop messed it up with the colors.
This one looks way to dark than it actually is, so if you guys know how to fix that I would be really thankful!

RE: Ok, i found a very cheap way to fix it, but not perfect.

Reference used [link]

I wanted to try and make a scene and not just a stand alone pumpkin. I left some carvings in the big guys mouth to maybe make it look like he had been eating other little pumpkins before.
Guess I could submit them as separate pumpkins?
I think the title is pretty self explanatory.
Enjoy

Here's my entry for the Gears 3 Contest.

I initially wanted to do a more grotesque and brutal theme for this same subject matter, but then I read the rules. :/

So i tried to stick with my initial idea but make it more of an homage than a bloodbath.

This image was painted in about 3 days, almost 4. Differentiating from my normal workflow, I used absolutely no line work on this. I just started blocking in the forms and rendered them. It was a fun process that i want to do more often.

Download for full-res!

I will upload some higher-res crops of this image after the contest, so check my gallery.

Good luck to all in the contest, I've seen some pretty awesome stuff so far.
