There are a few artists, on this forum, who
can truely tap into the power of Zbrush ,
in my eyes,You ,Adman,Ztevie-rae and Le discot.Never fail to amaze with your consistancy and artistry and talent!.
brilliant work as always,
One question are there any tutorials around on creating the illustrated style that you have become master of.
I checked the quicklinks and came up blank
the style is is atechnique that I really like to be able to produce,
thanks
The detail on that object is just beyond belief. Tremendous work Glen. :eek: :eek: :eek:
Hi Hitch,
Tought question. I can’t really help you to adopt my style as I am trying to improve and develop it all the time. I go through stages of wanting my work to look more like Kens, then Oliviers (Le Discot), then Mentat posts and I want to try a bit of his style and so on and so on…
My only advice is to wokr on a Style of your own and keep evolving. One persons work that I really admire (and probably don’t so so enough) is Robo. He has a style and a way of picking colours for his work that I would love to get a bit of. I always struggle with my colours and end up with dark m,uddy tones when I started out aiming for a bright effect.
I’m happy to help you develop but I’m not sure which parts of me/mine you would want

Hey Hitch…just like Southern said. Let me add that everyone sees things differently. Combine that with varying levels of illustrative skill, motor skill, and work environment and it becomes one tough cookie to teach a style of art without boxing it up and calling it “The Joy of Painting” (no insult meant…I love that show). The most difficult thing to do is step out of yourself and try to approach your illustrations in a different manner. It is difficult to do because your mindseye will often times stop you and say “Hey that doesn’t look right” I try break myself of my habit from time to time (sometimes successfully sometimes not) and tell myself to go wild on the color or get nasty with the texture or to just plain old slop up the modeling. I know I want to draw like Southern, Olivier, Ken, Picsas, The Saint…but I am me (sigh) and despite trying to mimic their style I will always be me. My suggestion would be to just be who you are and when you are comfortable with that then tweak your “drawing personality” a little bit at a time. It’s a difficult thing to do but the rewards in learning new methods can be huge.
This is a truly incredible image, and it’s not yet done?
Glen, you’ve done a fantastic job capturing the emotion and terror of threadfall. The Pern series is my absolute favorite reading material and I really appreciate the visual realization of it. I can’t wait to see your vision of the rider.
You should contact Anne when this image is done. It just might make a spectacular book cover. One thing, though. It’s been a while since I read any of her books, but I don’t remember any of her dragons being red. Greens, browns, bronzes, golds, and of course that wonderful white dragon, but reds? Maybe it could be another anomaly like the white one. If I’m wrong, please let me know!
absolutely STUNNING image!!! :eek:
the scene certainly is familiar.
and, strangely, I immediately identified it with my own mental impression of the battle.
it is very interesting how you can concentrate so much expression around the face and eyes.
I would add some details on the body, if you don’t mind spoiling the nice illustrative effect. I mean to say, the head and joints are gnarly whereas the rest is a tad bit too smooth.
I think this might make you satisfied of the piece
great job
