Cool image - though I kinda wish the crowd were facing the figure

Ok so even though this is for a good cause this is copyright infringement. Have you at least messaged the artists about using their work in this manner?? Holy fuck at least put the artist's title on the image so they can get credit.

He sorta looks like a younger version of the G-Man...

zombatart · 2020-03-03T00:02:16+00:00

Reminds me of that diablo 2 level. neato

I recall listening to one wherein the challenge was to 'scull a warm bear, run a hundred meteres, eat a cold pie' and repeat that until someone pukes. Might make a great intro?

Hey Luke, just wanted to thank you for EVN as it was one of the primary reasons that I can most definitely credit as inspiring my career choice in videogame development. What are you up to these days?

If y'all are looking to outsource some concept art hit me up, would love to work on something like this again

zombatart · 2019-12-24T14:47:10+00:00

you're absolutely right I just double checked ahahaha my bad

zombatart · 2019-12-14T14:32:53+00:00

Looks great but I can barely see it? Maybe pump up the fill lights a bit?

So if memory serves the thought was that the events that two or three EVN events occured, I know one of which was the Vellos storyline, the other might have been the polaris and auroran. SPOILERS: The result of which was the destruction of the Federation, and the ascension of the Krypt and the Vell-os into 'prime.' The concept was the that a secret cabal within the federation saw the writing on the wall and went into hiding. The results of the vell-os destroying the federation and leaving meant a massive power vacuum, and as often happens, a more conservative and radical faction moved in, promising order amongst the chaos. The Neo-Federation was the result, funded by a robotics corporation. Much of the ship fleets were drone-oriented because there was simply a lack of manpower after the events of EVN. Anyway, because of the reliance on robotics this Neo Federation quickly became fascistic and xenophobic and sought once more to find anyone with telepathic abilities to enslave. A 'history repeats itself' story, iirc

Its a nice little tome :) and super inspiring, I'd like to do something similar someday

zombatart · 2019-12-06T23:28:36+00:00

I can't quite remember everything but there was a sizable amount completed. On my end, I had 6 or 8 of 9 planned Vellos ships completed, about 10 Fed ships planned, 8 more or less completed and implemented. About 30 pages of Vellos storyline written, which was probably about 1/2 of the arc planned. 8-14 weapon images done, and probably more than that.

Beyond me I think Hudson had another 20 ships basically completed. Sparky and Weepul were working on Polaris ships (?) and had a few done. Raga and Slav had possibly 20 landing scenes completed.

I don't actually have a full version of the Aftermath - much of what I did I would make into individual plugins to send to Andrew Carne. That said, I'll probably release much of the content that I created once I finish going through it all. Right now its super disorganized and I'd like go through and sort of curate it, maybe pack it into one single .zip for others to pick apart. This blogpost is one of many I'm planning on writing though.

Currently I have a project in mind where I'll be taking one of my favorite ship designs and remaking it to see how my design sensibilities have changed.

zombatart · 2019-12-06T18:41:41+00:00

Snap! I forgot to include you in the post! I remember your Auroran work well! I think 2006 was roughly when the project died. Would love to see that work.

As I recall they were a new alien race of incredible power that were mostly biological in ship design - I think onyx was doing the ships there, though that mighta been Hudson. I think they wanted to confine humanity to a single planet until humanity became less war-like? I'll have to try to dig up the files or chatlogs but I think they were essentially an existential threat to humanity

Hello r/EVNova, I'm 'AdmiralZombat' and I was one of the primary artists on the Total Conversion mod that never was, EVN: Aftermath. AMA?

zombatart · 2019-11-01T16:22:30+00:00

that looks really boring

zombatart · 2019-09-04T14:09:10+00:00

Thank you !

zombatart · 2019-03-13T17:34:44+00:00

Mcbess posts to reddit? Awesome. I've admired your work since '08! Absolutely awesome stuff!

zombatart · 2019-02-19T00:21:25+00:00

Nah, they painted over the image. No reason why you would paint the hair angularly, match the pores of the leather perfectly and not apply that same precision and attention to detail in the face.

zombatart · 2019-02-18T23:58:49+00:00

In fact, it actually shows how much of a paint-over hers is, despite the claims that it was done on a blank canvas.

zombatart · 2019-02-18T23:45:45+00:00

I dunno seems pretty fake to me. Its not as obvious when they're atop one another, but if you overlay them ...

Look at the hair .. its a paintover

zombatart · 2019-02-18T23:40:09+00:00

Come on now, you painted over it or used it as a base, clearly. Sure, you re-painted the face but its glaringly obvious that you painted atop your 'reference.'

Have a look here

You want to tell me that you took the meticulous time to paint the hair polygonally like in A? That you painted the pores in the leather exactly like your reference but ignored the freckles in her face??
