VEry nice! I'll love to play a game with those :3!

[Hirei]

Not only are you an amazing artist but you also do awesome photography. I'm really loving those chess pieces and I'm sure it'd be fun to play chess with! I love the character lineups you used!

[zestygrapefruit]

Thanks leongon, its a shame there's only one copy. It certainly makes chess more fun with these little characters! =D

And thanx as always Hirei, ive always thought my photography to be a bit crappy, but im glad its not in your eyes! Im so proud of what ive done with this little project (and the timescale.. about 7 hours in all I reckon), it sure was fun to make as is it to play with! (I played with my little cousin, Im not the best chess player so she beat me... shes 10 lol)

All i gotta do now over the crimble time is, Nyght's Tale, a bit of Scarlet and some proper illustration (book stuff).
glad to get the chess over and done with. =D

EDIT!!

Heres a Christmas present for all you lovelies!
I think im a bit in love... lol

[Show/Hide] Nyght?

[X-M-O]

Amazing! =D

Good to see the completed chess pieces, they are quite good.


I really like that last image (Nyght?); took a good idea and ran with it.
(One issue with the tip of the hair - seems the background image used for the hair is turned and you can see where it cuts off. Unless that was done on purpose.) =]

FIXED!!! Thankaroonies for pointing it out X-M-O! =D ( i should really proof-look, like proof-reading, but i get so excited when i finished something I never do either!!)
And thankies for the comments, I had dreams about Nyght last night, it was his birthday on the 23rd March and i hadnt got him a birthday present!
Something tells me i should get better prepared for March 23rd lol
Dreams are funny things no? =D hehe

CHRISTMAS EVE!!! =D

[Knot]

Wow! I've always loved your art but it looks even cooler in chessboard/pieces form! I think you should go for making a breakfast cereal next. I'd deffinitly eat something that looks like that.

[zestygrapefruit]

Phew- Back to bussiness!
Hope everyone had a great festive time! =D

Thanks Knot, breakfast cereal.... Now thats a novel idea. (Id so love to do that, i just may)

Anyways, heres a few things ive been up to (not much but hey)

[Show/Hide] Gabriel Belmont

Seriously, Castlevania Lords of Shadow is one of the BEST games i hav had the pleasure to play. Awesome! =D

[Show/Hide] Its a Me! Tobio!

Playing with a slighty new way of drawing peoples. =D

Getting a proper graphics tablet soon... Excited to get properly stuck into the digital art world. =D Ive had enough of the laptop touchpad of doom! =D

~Zesty! =D

[Holder]

Wow you've been doing this with a touchpad! Can't wait to see how you work with a tablet.

I see you're starting to do more and more detail within your style, and looking back over the previous page I've got to say this is one of my favourites. The faces are so simplistic but the look of their bodies are brilliant and really makes the picture something special.

Chess pieces are super cool, you know your work with the defined lines really suits those cut-outs. Is there any scanned versions with cut lines on?

The world may just collaspe under the pressure of my talent with a tablet... haha, im not really that big headed. It will take a while to get used to 'drawing' onscreen as apposed to making shapes with the touchpad, but i think it could defo be a good investment. =D

Thankies for the comments (I love the nativity too, proud of that for sure just a shame its seasonal lol) Maybe next year they'll enter the stage again, but updated. =D Talking of stuff eith an angular style, i still intend to keep my stuff with an angular edge, not quite as they have, make it slighty more flowing but give it a gringy feel with the angular lines. =D Hope it all comes together well, Ive got a swell idea of my first picture to with the tablet. =D

Scanned versions with the cut lines on? I havent scanned any of them in yet, is that a request? hehe =D

[zestygrapefruit]

I am officailly in love with my tablet! Im so impressed with what ive achieved with it so far! =D

Tablet dump here we go!

[Show/Hide] BIIIG

Without tablet, a bit of nostalgia-

[Show/Hide] Scallywags Ahoy!

Two characters from Scallywags, how i miss them so much.

Nyghts Tale is coming along nicely (a few changes to the game and visuals)

[Show/Hide] New title

Happpy times!

[leongon]

Greetings tabletphile comrade!

[Xeyla]

Zesty, i have got to say your work with the tablet is much better then the old way! You have such talent, i am jealous

[zestygrapefruit]

Tabletphile comrade.. I like it haha! =D

And thankyols xeyla, im still getting settled with it, trying to develop a consistant style with the tablet. =D
Oh and btw, I've been doodling and fiddling with zesty monsters, there may well be a new rtp based set, but digitalized. I also plan on redoing most of the old ones and keeping the thing going for whenever I have some freetime and dont know what to do..
Watch this space! =D

[X-M-O]

Very nice tablet dump! =D
Your style is very clean using the tablet, but it's much more pronounced - very cool.
Keep up the amazing work, I'll continue checking in because it's always worth it.

Havent update here for a little bit, been hectic at uni. But got a few things done on my days off.

Blue Skies-

[Show/Hide] Nyght dosent always wear his coat and scarf...
Big file, slight imperfections dont show when small version on my deivant etc

A Twilight Symphony-

[Show/Hide] Characters from a very old project that went nowhere. =(

The DreamNyght-

[Show/Hide] What Nyght look like if he were SUPER buff?

Seems im getting the hang of this tablet bussiness. Gradient shading style (blue skies and twilight symphony) is defo here to stay. =D

[leongon]

Amazing style, I can't get bored of it, no matter how many times I see it.

[Albino Parakeet]

I like the more serious-looking art of yours, like the Gabriel Belmont.

[zestygrapefruit]

Thankies leongon! =D

And Albino Parakeet. i rarely seem to go that serious really (much prefer the cute side of things), but maybe ill look into some more darker serious stuff in the future? =D
