zandoriastudios Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 This is part of a commission I did this week for a company in Germany. THe Ape and plane are just part of an ad--I just cropped it to make a wallpaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-wheeler Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Thats very good stuff Will, what size did you do the final render at? Was it for Publication? Whas the chrome done with an image?Whay am I asking all these questions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zandoriastudios Posted October 2, 2005 Author Share Posted October 2, 2005 I used the 35mm preset. I think it is for a magazine ad (I was given a .pdf mock-up of the layout, but all of the copy was in German, so I'm not sure exactly what it was for). The airplane was just a .3ds model I bought online that I composited in Photoshop. I had some issues with the render crashing that Noel helped me solve--It was related to running out of virtual memory, not A:M...

The Christmas tree was a separate picture (Yes the Ape should be reflected in the plane (in a perfect world)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Rodney Posted October 7, 2005 Admin Share Posted October 7, 2005 Very nice Will! I'm not so sure about the Christmas tree but then again I don't know the intent of the ad/company. I am curious... Was this the genesis of your Kong or did you make Kong prior to the ad and just find a fit for it in the project? Either way... great imagery.

maleman Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 A very well done piece So are you done with the comic you were working on I think it was call Tar How did you get that hair done it looks great I have a female model I'm working on But that much hair would take a lot of render time Are there some other way of getting the same results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zandoriastudios Posted October 11, 2005 Author Share Posted October 11, 2005 Actually, this agency was searching on the internet for Kong images for a couple of ads for a cinema chain in Germany. and they came across that Kong vs Terrordactyl picture through the power of Google... So they called and asked if I could do the illustrations. I did one other version beyond these two, the backgrounds aren't part of it because there is some kind of graphic thing going on there. I had to do the final render over 4,000 pixels wide!!! [set your paging file as high as it will go...] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That shows how a talented individual like yourself can use the internet to best advantage. I imagine there is nothing quite like being able to use models/resources you've already created to make a little extra money either I imagine. I'm sure it reinforces the fact that your time experimenting and exploring was time well spent. You are an inspiration to all of us aspiring animators/artists. Keep on keepin' on!

Odog2020 Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 King Kong's play day! He looked pretty happy holding the plane, almost like he was a nice kind and gently giant ape. That is cool though, you made kong your own in that one. Props. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
