Freaking awesome. Your ideas motivate me more than a case of redbull!

Will the next picture be one of Fidel wearing a cayman's head on his own as he beats the shit out of the Reckoner?

That has to be the most awesome thing you have ever posted Shroomz. I dig it. And that's my grossest understatement of the year so far.

Wow, you even put leeches on Fidel. Awesome.

That looks like Godzilla and the Dragonzord had sex!

Holy...hooooly! Man, that scales-work is awesome too!

YES

EDIT:

Mang, if I ever end up doing a comic book, Shroom wants YOU to be his coloristo!

What the fuck is that!? OH SHI-

Finished the work I had to do so now I have time to... waste time

I tried to preserve the detail of the original drawing this time, since I wasn't just rushing through it.

FZZZZZT!!!!!

You're really getting better at this, to the point where both our art styles really compliment each other with the rough and sketchy-ish look to 'em.

I love how his space helmet looks bloodstained and mean.

Seriously, what the fuck is that? A cosmonaut with tesla coils coming out of the wazoo! In Glorious Technicolor!

Excellents!

That first vs comic was pissing me off. Plus reckoner was the wrong colour, so was fidels bandana (just got up to the images in your fic and went "oh shit").

Also thumb-nailing both images to avoid incurring the wrath of the mods.

EDIT: Fixed still-grey bandana
EDIT2: Stuff in crocs mouth and fidels neck.

Shroom Man 777 · Post by **Shroom Man 777** » 2008-03-25 02:00pm

Even MOAR excellents! What do you use to do those scale-patterns on the crocodiles and dinosaurs?

A couple of minor nitpicks though: There's a brown-thinggy in the crocodile's mouth. And the back of Fidel's neck got overlapped with the croco-scale patterns.

I like the shading you did, especially in that last bit of Fidel's face where his other eye is obscured by shadow. I wasn't satisfied with how I pulled it off.

Everybody needs handlebar moustaches.

EDIT:

Perhaps my next arts should have less-blurry/smudgy versions that would make coloring easier?

Resinence · Post by **Resinence** » 2008-03-25 02:19pm

I'm using illustrator to colour them, it has some decent animal-skin patterns. It also means I have vector-graphics versions of these if you want them (not really supported by web browsers yet).

The smudgy doesn't really matter

, now I've had a bit of practice I can fine tune the import/trace a bit better (see: the cosmonaut). I didn't re-trace the first one to recolour it since then I'd have to go fine tune all of the paths/correct illustrators dodgy vector shapes.

That depends. Blurring makes an image look haunting, so it might look awesome in a "Fidel vs. the Bloodsucker" image, where the blurring lets us know how Fidel's head has been telepathically fucked. I don't like blurring in pictures of machines, though-- that's one thing I hated about the 'Metal Gear Solid' comics.

Resinence · Post by **Resinence** » 2008-03-25 02:28pm

Shroom uses just the right amount of blur/smudge imo anyway, the knife movement-blur looks awesome. And around reckoner's rifle, I really didn't want to blank that out and so left the backgrounds alone.

Edit: Some love for cyborg t-rex

Great work by the by, guys.

Shroomy, you are a seriously disturbed person. But I respect that, homie.

Keep bringing the AWESOME, you kooky little bastid.

Havokeff has gotten into it too!

Sidewinder · Post by **Sidewinder** » 2008-03-26 03:02am

Not bad.

For the next picture, let's see if we can put Fidel in a high tech suit that does NOT make him look like a male ballerina. It should help if the suit has armor plates in the shape of chest and abdominal muscles, like Snake's sneaking suit in the first 'Metal Gear Solid'.

Don't forget elbow pads, e.g., when Fidel needs to crawl. (That's something EVERY soldier is taught in US Army basic training-- trust me, it HURTS when you do it without elbow pads.)

Dude, what's so gay about his current outfit?

Resinence · Post by **Resinence** » 2008-03-26 12:36pm

Not a colorizing, but related to dino eater. I hear busted up cessna's are good for jumping out of?
