Rickj427 15 Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 As a birthday present, my buddy designed and drew this up for me. Obviously he has some crazy talent. It's drawn using mostly different colored charcoal and a little paint around edges to give a little more crispness. He started off taking some ackward pictures of me holding my gun with a cigar in my mouth. From there, he ended up using Photoshop to get a rough idea of how everything should look, and actually molded the zombie's head out of clay so he could get the lighting perfect. Most of it was sketched with the charcoal, but the fog and shading was done with a combination of powdered charcoal and water that he sprayed from an airbrush. After the charcoal and paint work was finished, he sprayed a clear coat paint over the top to protect the charcoal. He frayed the edges of the picture and applyed burnt coffee to give it a worn, dirty look. The last thing that he has planned is a frame made out of out twisted wood with rusty nails sticking out of it. I know my girlfriend is going to be pissed when I hang it over our bed! 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rickj427 15 Posted January 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Here are a few more pictures. I wish I had a better camera, bc the pictures don't do it justice. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rickj427 15 Posted January 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 If someone would want one of their own, with their own gun, body, and "scene", he is willing to do so. The size he made for me is about 40" x 20". A picture that size would be about $500 and a picture half that size would be about $250. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And that's a carbon-copy of my S12. My buddy took a bunch of pictures: eyebrow up, eyebrow down, cigar, no cigar. The combination he chose definitely gives the picture that evil comic book/ graphic novel kind of feel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

(I believe I'd know; I have a Fine Arts degree.) You don't seem to be bothered by the fact that your avatar has the spent casings 4.33" apart on average, when in fact, they should be 4.52" apart on average.

Post a pic! I don't actually, but it looks pretty fricken sweet though. I honestly wish I had a better camera so I could show more detail. I know it sounds crazy, but the pictures I took don't do it justice in person. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
