Hell, Heaven, Earth Wallpaperby *Shono

Designs & Interfaces / Other

I created a wallpaper of the series. Mainly for myself cause i'm egotistical and i like looking at my own artwork all the time. But if you want to make it your wallpaper too feel free.
I could of sworn there used to be a "wallpaper" gallery on DA. but i can't find it. if someone tells me where it is i'll switch this picture, but until then its staying here.

i like art

I just love the strong impression this an all the other title images have.

*Shono Jul 20, 2010 Professional Digital Artist

Thanks alot man! If you love the strong emotion you'll probably love the prelude to that comic.

Let me know how you like it!

~Dalilean Jul 21, 2010 Hobbyist General Artist

I love it.
I love the way your graphics look so oldschool. The shading looks like Zipatone or atleast spot printing. The Logo looks like old propaganda spray paint.

It is really inspiring and gives me alot of ideas for my current project.
Don't worry, I am not going to copy it.

I am looking for options to give similar emotions.

*Shono Jul 21, 2010 Professional Digital Artist

Good to hear man! Everything you said is exactly what i was going for. I wanted an oldschool feeling, with dirty, grungy, emotions.
And those are zipatones, or Screen tones, or manga tones, or whatever you call them (i've heard so many names for them).

And thats fine, I'm happy I inspired you. And I'm not overly concerned about copying me, I have enough confidence in my book's unique style .... I think its will be very very hard for someone to copy...

Manga Tones? I didn't realize that till you mentioned them. They look like late 80's japanese comics (way back when they were not called manga yet)Kind of reminds me of the old B&W TMNT, before they became kids cartoons.

I have been looking for a style that gives a similar feel for a game I am designing (no developer house yet, so it's a real long shot)

My style tends to be more 90's comic mixed with realism. I need to grundge it up a bit.

When I first saw the logo, I thought you where working on a game an kept my eye on the development of the project.

Hope it does well, considering the level of quality your puting into it.

How did you do the Web comic?
Flash?, power point?

*Shono Jul 21, 2010 Professional Digital Artist

Haha, if i didn't know better i'd say you were being paid to say these things. That is EXACTLY the feel I'm going for. I love that very gritty dirty feeling the old TMNT comics gave, and the older Manga (like Akira)

You do have a little more of a realistic look to your style, but i wouldn't say 90's. You would need much bigger guns and ALOT more pockets for it to be 90's hahahaha. (oh rob leifeld)

Well thanks. I'll have this comic in print soon... well as soon as i can get time to finish some pinups for the gallery at the end of the book. (i don't want people to spend 3 bucks on a comic that has 11 pages of story, thats a rip off.)

I did the comic in flash. I don't know flash very well so i just found a free program called simple viewer, and it built the flash code for me.

You could add the concept development sketches at the end.Personally I love to see those, how characters developed from the inicial idea to the final product. Then again, I am bias. Maybe add some character profiles, so people get a better feel for the characters.

*Shono Jul 21, 2010 Professional Digital Artist

Yeah i have a short 2 page story that a friend drew for me thats going in there. and i have bunch of pin up art thats going in....
Right now its all in sketch form though i need to actually finish the art.

~Nekopawed Jan 3, 2008

The last one reminds me of Ivy from Soul Caliber.

Nice Picture.

*Shono Jan 9, 2008 Professional Digital Artist

Yeah very similar idea, its really designed more to imitate a dragon tail.

Thanks for looking!
