Description
My half of a trade with my rad mate with his character Zunji. Sorry again for taking forever to get this done, but I need to get rid of this art debt I still have D:Was fun painting something mechanical again and finally put good to use of that Ascari ref sheet I made last year.
Planned to have Zunji spraying everywhere, but this allowed it to be more focused on the two.
Cheers to Alex, Flo, Kev, Mr Beck and ATA for their thoughts on this too!

Thanks Tian!
that was done before I started there, but it's always fun to design weapons though.
It's part of the fun of illustrating :V

you are welcome!
how do you like working there? Must be awesome!
It's kinda cool that during last weekend I went to supanova, and your workmate Johnny Fraser-Allen was there. It's kinda like I gradually got to meet all the weta artists here and there! LOL
What do you get to design most often? weapon, character, or creature?

yeah I enjoy it here, especially the folk who I work with.
He is a character!
I do all sorts depending what needs to be done for the client. I like doing weapons and vehicles the most, but not afraid to try other things too :]

Ha sweet pic stu! I love the beat up look of the cyc, Zunji's helmet, the guns and that sweet jumping air shot! It is magic to me how you draw the attention to the characters and get them to interact in the way you do. It inspires me to get out and try some more drawing and painting. Great work bro

Chur Ry! yeah I wanted to make that cycle look a bit loved rather than new and shiny haha. Ascari's gonna call BS if he scores a hit while jumping.
I quite like spending time adding those bit and trying to figure out what needs to be added.
Go for it bol and good to hear from you too!

Ahh the skill of manually slotting 50. rounds into a single shot beretta. I've never done it of course, but I admite the skill it takes to do such a thing under pressure.
Once again, masterfully done here Stu, love the mechanics, perspective, character, and overall attention to the painting and detail. A-Class stuff!

lots and lots of practise! and handy when you need to switch to armour piercing rounds.
Thanks again Kyle for your complements and hope to get more done!

Cheers Joulester! learning more about composition and how to lead the eye to places in your illustrations

That's truly great of you to mention it, thanks! I am also learning lots from you, myself - you're really a artist without limits!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
no problem, I'm always trying to learn new things as well, just got to take them on thing at a time :]

Is there nothing you can't draw? You seriously weave so well between past and present and even sometimes future in your compositional themes. It's really great to see yet another action piece from you, because that's when I think one of your best strengths is truly on display. I really like the detail put into the environment and the weapon, and the character interaction too. Commendable dude, if I may say so.

Thank you so much again Bowser for your comments! I would say environments would be one of my weaknesses, so I'm slowly trying to do them a bit more with images like this for practice.
Was stoked to painted up some weapons again!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's my pleasure!
Your environments are suprisingly detailed well enough it's definitely enough to stoke envy amongst lesser-skilled artists. And you even throw in some cool added effects. For example, the dirt being kicked up behind the character at the top. It's little things like that you include that makes your composition much more interesting to the viewer, and makes it that much more special.

I've been looking at photo reference to help get ideas and things to try and include since I can't think of everything, but definitely helps a ton to bring it more to life.
Thanks again and I just want to try and keep expanding on what I currently have!

Man if only I had the means to commission you, I'd do it in a heartbeat. At least I always have my imagination, hah.
You certainly give it your ace shot every time, so it really goes without saying you get what you put into it. :]

Maybe one day once I sort out my backlog and figure out fair prices (hard when you take a long time per piece) Who knows what the future holds!
Thanks again Bowser :]
