Love the boat in the waves.Also the fan lizard(Gecko?)(SP)Not to say the others aren't good solid Juandels but those two
are way out there fine.

[Kathy]

I too would enjoy reading the words that complete these whimsical pictures.

the colors are so vivid, I imagine the story is as well. :tu:

[robotalk]

Ahh the splendiferous beauty that is Jaundel-Land...More colorful delight from the Artmeister himself :tu: :tu: :tu:

[DeeVee]

jaundel, You really are longing for the tropics with paintings of banana trees and lizards, etc.
Like Kathy wrote, tell us the story, it should make interesting reading.

Juandel, you will have to share the story with us. :tu: on the illustrations!

[juandel]

thank you for your kind words and interest my friends :D i am afraid, that i won’t share the story (right now, at least) as it is a very personal one :( i have to think about a de-personalized version but i doubt i could do it.

http://www.pixolator.com/ubb/icons/icon3.gif what do you think about a little z-activity? come up with a story of your own, that those illustrations would fit into and add those customized illus you need to complete it so that it makes sense! :D

im not a story writer but ill try starting from the top left pic to the one on the right.
a harmless Green snaked had enter a Hut and scared the Tribe out of there home.
and the (pic on the right) was a Godest in the sky looking at what was going on With the Tribe and has the expression on his face of OH MY! now what will they do..
(bottom left pic) as the TRIBE moved across the Ruf sea in there Tug Boat looking for a New place to live...
(now bottom right pic) they ended up in a hot bar in mexico were the lizard hang out and they sat and drank happy Juice all night long.
and then next day after there hang overs from the happy Juice they found a new Hut to live in and lived Happy ever after..
THE END..

what kind of bood or reading material are you creating these images for?....also my favorite is the lizard image... very cool there juandel...

[Smiles]

<~~~ Does happy dance for the little fellow ;), ummm and the bugs! ;x WELL.. They scare me !! :)

[DM]

You will have to give me some tips Juandel, I could not manage any of those in an hour. Nice images.

;) Here's my try:-
An old salior is asleep in his cabin dreaming of life at sea,while a snake slips in to take shelter from the comming storm.
The old salior is dreaming he is caught in a
storm upon the sea, and beleives he's about to hit some rocks.Jumping up from his sleep, shouting "She's goin doooooown",startles the snake which bites him and he dies.Rising up from his body as a ghost........ he cant believe his eyes!
Has is pet gecko "Polly", who'd been warned !, Drags home another rusty and smelly propeller. :p :p
The end.
great images jaundel!

muy bien, stevie! :D pretty close to the original story :D

Dave: you got me :rolleyes: i admit: i cheated... at least three of them were created using tools or textures i did for other pics or saved from scripts of others, so instead of bragging i should have considered the time of creating the following, too:

<UL TYPE=SQUARE><LI>the leaves/branches of what looks like bananatree in the first one with the snake i did as a polymesh for the santamouse-pic (sorry, i just found out its 17MB!!! so i won’t upload it).<LI>the walls in the lizard-gecko pic are taken from the open-box tool that you get when running Christos’ or Zoid’s script in this thread (http://www.pixolator.com/zbc-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=002498)<LI>the texture of the bamboo-hut i did using Pixolator’s bamboo tutorial (http://www.pixolator.com/zbc-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=000191) and snapshotting/moving sticks until the canvas was filled, then using mrgbz-grabber for making it a texture.[/list]

everything else was quickly done, indeed. as for the shadows in the lizard-gecko-pic, i was just lucky, when i placed the light and increased the shadows length and found it to be convenient at first try. the fan is the gear tool after fiddling with the initialase, settings. lizardbody is a mistreated sphere, the legs rings with low coverage, the feet i did using the smudgetool. the waves in the one at sea are 3d-cones, slightly modelled and then reproduced, the foam is a ring deformed with radialsymmetry in edit-move-mode. the palmleaves in the fifth one are done the same way, this time deforming a sphere and applying gravity. shadows in the snake pic are faked with using shadingenhancerbrush + alt. hmm... everything else is evident, methinks.

i am a very impatient character, but thats what a love in zbrush: to be able to do something worthwhile showing within reasonable time :D
