Description It's an illustration done for a little french book and fanzine editor named "Parchemins & Traverses"

Story is about a girl who cross zombies on her road and think that she'll take refuge in a mansion.
But there's some strange people there !

I tried to translate correctly from french to english :

"Whereas Claire climbed the old stairs with precaution - what did not prevent them from squeaking abominably,she felt something against her leg.
Its heart missed some beats, but when she lowered her eyes, she could realize that it was just a black cat who rubbed against her..."


well; I just wanted to play with some typical Z-movies style, where it's sometime not really well played, where actors always act a bit too much you know
and where actress always have to take some sugestive poses when the it's absolutly not the right moment for that;
if you have seen one issue of the Friday the 13th serie; for example, you'll know what I mean.

so we got these rendering, a little kitsh with the attitude of the characters, in total opposition toward the general background and atmosphere.

hope you'l like !
comment are apreciated, especially because the pic is not yet printed

MEDIA:
-basic line on paper
-some traditionnal textures made on board
-photoshop 7.0

et voila !

Well; I quickly played the video game, and see some trailer for the movie, So I'm not able to see in which way this kind of pic would suit

Wow l'ambiance est super, la fille est bien rendue, surtout les reflets sur la robe. Le nori et blanc st bien maitrisé. C'est vrai que la position semble un peu exagérée est ce possible que sa jambe fasse reelement cela? mais ca donne un effet comique. Dommage pour les traits de surprise et le Miaow, je trouve ca inutile, mais les taches etc donnent un effet sympathique. Enfin travail des silhouettes interessant, et surtout expression de la fille très convaincante à mon goût.

tout est dit. l'exageration est voulue, de meme que l'accent comique parceque le recit en lui meme part vite dans un gros delire; vis a vis des trait et du miaou, pareil; Γ§a rajoute un cotΓ© bd; qui aide pas a prendre l'image au serieux; a l'opposition de l'ambiance visuelle en elle meme

I really love the shading on her face, there is a great deal of detail and it looks very realistic.

Two thumbs up!

and it's Miau! in Spanish! (well, who cares anyway xD)

at the beggining i thougth about her face... and then i said "that's wrong... her expression it's a bit weird considering she's scared... and the pose was... uh... it's strange too"

"then I started to read your comments, and there 's this talk about Z-movies and when actress exaggerate some scenes just to make it more "interesting"... and everything had sense... so I laught"

well, the lesson is: always read the Artist's Comments

J-Estacado In reply to Metaru [2007-01-21 13:08:28 +0000 UTC]

definitly: YES !

all your comment say what it has to be; the girl's pose is by nature wrong; but correct seeing the goal I had

"miau" in spanish then.... mm i'm gonna edit the "artist comment" and put english and spanish version hope that i'm gonna have other foreign language to put soon

anyway, thanks for commenting; that's cool !

I guess; as if since the time I noticed that many people don't even take a look at the artist's comment

As i say, one single powerfull and consistent comment weights more than a Daily Deviantion full of people saying "oh great"- "i luv it!"
