shambok's doodles

**shambok** · January 6th, 2010, 11:05 AM

I'm gonna kick off this doodles thread with some concepts I did for an online competition concerning concepts for a local zombie movie ... Since I won I'm UBER stoked and I cant wait to see the chosen two zombies in the (rotting) flesh! If you are at all interested what the final concepts look like you can check them out in my gallery section ... http://www.conceptart.org/index.php?...ok&cat=updated

this is a sketch challenge line art I did for an online forum I belong to. topic was steam punk...

**leanunlibro** · January 6th, 2010, 10:39 PM

Nice stuff man. The zombies are really funny. Those girls trying to catch brains haha. Keep it up!

**brubaker** · January 6th, 2010, 10:40 PM

Very fun stuff.

**Stuart DeViva** · January 6th, 2010, 10:42 PM

Your line work is soooo awesome. How in the world do you make it so clean? I have a soft spot for zombies! Always happy to see zombies in the imagination of fellow artists!

**shambok** · January 7th, 2010, 11:11 AM

Thanx people! Glad you like

As for the line work ... I guess I'm just uber patient person ... all the clean line work is done with the Scratchboard tool in Painter. But its all down to practice ... the longer I do them the short they take (if that makes any sense

)

I had lots of fun with the zombies ... at first I didnt know if the movie I was hopefully designing for was humorous or not ... turned out that it wasnt. So even though I tried to concentrate on the scarier aspects I still tried to keep some humor in there.

This image I'm posting is another example of line work. It might look like vector lines but is once again the Scratchboard tool ...

I just finished this Cyber Punk image for an online contest ... initially I wanted to do the entire image in traditional pencil but after my wet cat sabotaged that endeavor I had to settle for penciling it in Painter. Here are both the finished Painter line art as well as the unfinished pencil images.

Goeie Moer!!

Dis goed om so bietjie kultuur te sien vir n' slag. Ek moet dit so nou en dan probeer.

**superema** · January 8th, 2010, 02:11 PM

**DSmith** · January 8th, 2010, 02:19 PM

Wow,awesome characters!I would love to see them rendered!

**GweNdZ** · January 8th, 2010, 03:31 PM

HEY!! I'm so glad to see you put up an SB!

Your zombies are flipping awesome man! ^^

**shambok** · January 8th, 2010, 08:55 PM

Once again thank you for all the positive comments!

Since you'd like to see some colour I'm including the coloured version of the deviantID. Its rendered in a cartoon style ... which is not the way I usually colour. There are also the coloured in versions of the zombies.

From the lot that I have submitted these have been coloured in so far. The rest will follow as soon as I get a chance to finish them. Included as well is another black and white called "LUNCH' which is never meant to be colored in.

hope you guys like them

**Arthurkidd** · January 8th, 2010, 10:11 PM

**shambok** · January 9th, 2010, 05:38 PM

Glad you like the cyberpunk image ... I'm holding thumbs that I win the challenge that the image is intended for!

Here are some more sketchy images in the form of development drawings done for an online project. The bottom colour image is the one that finally got chosen. Please let me know what you think!

**GweNdZ** · January 10th, 2010, 03:31 PM

that looks really kewl! She looks like she's a mum

With lots of baby zombies

**shambok** · January 11th, 2010, 05:08 AM

@ GweNdZ - she is actually a mum LOL! ... her kids are/were Sannie and Jannie (Form the previous zombie drawings I posted)

I will be trying to post as often as possible, but since I cant always post the images I'm working on, Ill in turn try and find and scan some old work ... like these sketches from a long while back ...

**shambok** · January 11th, 2010, 04:58 PM

Something I keep returning to ... but never finishing ... the day will come though

**Stuart DeViva** · January 11th, 2010, 07:05 PM

I love your freaking zombies!!You can tell you really enjoy making those flesh eaters.

Lovin the sheriff. Keep it up!

**shambok** · January 12th, 2010, 06:26 AM

**kidult** · January 12th, 2010, 08:09 AM

Hey cool to check you round here, been lurking myself. Awesome posts, keep it up and try do some more studies!

**shambok** · January 12th, 2010, 10:48 AM

Ill make sure I do just that Kidult ...

As for now here is something I sketched last night and speed coloured today ... so far about 3 hours work. Its called 'One demon at a time', all about the artistic demons I want to conquer during this year

. Its the early stages but I thought I'd post for CA to see!
Hope you like it so far ...

**GweNdZ** · January 12th, 2010, 12:50 PM

that looks awesome so far! I love the idea as well

**shambok** · January 12th, 2010, 07:50 PM

@ GweNdZ -

Here is an update ... I changed the position of the Wacom as it didn't make sense the way it was b4. I dont think I'm going to noodle this one to death but I still have a few hours left to work on this image.

**Dragonspit** · January 13th, 2010, 10:15 AM

I really like your linework, really nice stuff. the banner looks awesome to. there some depth lacking in the paintings. I am not good at it really so you can take that with a grain o salt.

**shambok** · January 13th, 2010, 10:27 AM

I hear you Dragonspit. I intend to do something about that closer to the end.

There are 4 different land areas in the image... ie: the front area where all the action is taking place, then there is the erupting volcano, second last is mountain with the demon on top of it and lastly is the far off background to the right. Through some digital trickery, varied amounts of detail and good luck, I hope to create the illusion of distance. At the moment it looks like one big 2d mess LOL!

Thanx a mill for the observation ... I really appreciate it.Its always awesome to hear some input fomr people to see if i haven't missed something!
