SILENCIO GAYGEEK ART

Experiment

2012-01-15T21:18:00.000-08:00

It's been a long time since I posted something here.
Lately I was "experimenting" new ways of working, so I thought some of you might be interesting.
Here's a little picture made with DAZ3D, Sculptris, 3DS Max, and Photoshop.
I found quite fun to mix all of these tools.

DAZ for the character posing, Sculptris to customize and paint the mesh, 3DS Max for the lighting setup, materials and rendering, and finally Photoshop for the filters, FX, colors, and stuff.

Though, I'm not sure if using all this stuff is getting somewhere, regarding the result.
Anyway, I had fun making this.

I'll post more picture of this character, as this picture was just a test.
And I'll explain more precisely how this was made.

DEAD ISLAND : Bloody !

2011-09-08T19:18:00.000-07:00

Dead Island just came out. And I must admit that I have some fun with it so far. It's like Dead Rising meets Borderlands. There's actually almost everything I like in a game : Zombies, RPG stuff, open world, co op play, and some handsome guys... Logan is one of them, but I really like Javier and Trevor, 2 NPCs that could be seen in the lighthouse. One sad thing : Girls are all dressed in sexy bikinis, and guys all wear long shorts... no speedo bulges... :(

speedoooo !

nude !

SSFIV : Greasy!

2011-08-04T06:16:00.000-07:00

Long time no see...
I've been busy on stuff. lot of stuff.

So here is a little thing I did for fun, after I played a little of Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition.

Cody

Hakan

tadaa!

2011-05-20T04:00:00.000-07:00

This is post is mainly to win a beta key to the upcoming wonderful MMO Reign of Revolution.

This game has already been released in South Korea and Russia. But Webzen will finally publish R2 in western countries. For those who don't know this game, this was a serious Lineage 2 contender, mainly because of a similar open PvP/GvG system, and a pretty slow leveling curve. This might sounds like a hardcore MMO, but its difficulty is part of its charm. Graphics and art direction are still amazing, and the music is absolutely beautiful. R2 will be entering its beta phase quite soon, so if you're interested check the R2 website teaser :

Kn'K - Start Something... is out !!!

2011-03-27T21:26:00.000-07:00

This wonderful music album (I already did a post about it), is finally available ! I'm still listening to this, and I don't even get bored. So inspiring !

Click The beautiful cover art to get it now !

Dungeon Guards - Holy Warrior

2011-03-27T18:33:00.000-07:00

Well, I already posted that on my Facebook page but in a very small size...

Since it's a long time I didn't post anything on this blog, I decided to put a larger version...

A much larger version !!! Enjoy !

This illustration is intended for a life-size poster print (100*200 cm), or a life-size cut-out. I don't know, yet.

The full pictures are only half of the actual resolution (4000*7200), but they are still quite huuge, details pictures are in full resolution.

Obviously, click on the pictures to get the high resolution...

Beautiful Dead - Artwork

2011-02-05T19:40:00.000-08:00

Here is an illustration of the 2 main characters of the amazing Class Comics project written by the amazing Robert Fraser, who are amazingly patient. I already made few things for Beautiful Dead, which have already been posted on Mr Fraser's Blog. I hope to have more time to work on it, in full time, soon. So, as requested, I'll do some illustrations and concept arts from time to time to keep this project alive.

These are the new versions of Gage and Hayden, about to have rough sex, even if Zombies are about to rip them off. "This is the end of the world. Let's have sex now , before it's too late." And no, this is not a spoiler, because this situation is not in the script.

Bookmark This : Peek-a-dong, DongSaeng's Blog

2011-02-05T12:34:00.000-08:00

This looks recent.

DongSaeng has a blog.

I strongly hope that his blog will be updated often, because I'm a huge fan of his art !!!

Coloring, drawing, anatomy, his illustration are always very inspiring, and his guys are always cute and sweet.

Comic for Dokkun. A little preview.

2011-01-31T22:25:00.000-08:00

4 more pages...
I re-posted the 2 already shown pages, so you'll have a better idea on the continuity.
It could be a little hard to understand the sequence, as there's no dialogue yet. But, hey... it's just a preview...
At least, you'll know what this will be about.

to be continued...

in Dokkun !

I won't post any more pages... to avoid any spoilers...

Cross fingers for Dokkun 3.

2011-01-23T18:22:00.000-08:00

I was very sorry not to be able to participate in the amazing Dokkun #2. I hope I will make it for Dokkun 3.
Deadlines are very short. Well, I'll do my best to deliver as many pages as my schedule is allowing me right now. Now, you just have to guess what it will be about (that's not very difficult, though).

Commission : Aion Fan Art

2011-01-22T13:22:00.000-08:00

Commissioned work for Fabrissou. It's his character (Analdur) in the MMO game AION :

Love this, Love That : KN'K - Start Something

2011-01-15T05:54:00.000-08:00

I'm not used to talk about music. I'm not an expert, but a friend of mine made me listen to the band, he plays in, for live sessions. Which is was totally fortunate, because I was looking for a "fetish" album to listen to, to motivate me while I work. I found it.
The band is called "KN'K" and the just released their first album and generously shared it on SoundCloud.
This is typically the kind of music I can listen all day, shaking my head, and bouncing all around my bedroom, or make me work faster and help me being creative. We can say that it was "love at first sight (or listening)". This is rare to listen to some music that resonates instantly in yourself (that can happen if you put your IPod in the wrong place, though).
So this first album is called "Start Something", and we can say they started and achieved an awesome something. If you're into Electro Pop, if you love Depeche Mode (the voice of the singer is sometime very close), and fun and smart music like Hot Chip, but with a more dramatic, "heavy" and "tough" sound, listen and love it now .

Fan Art : Tangled

2011-01-14T05:16:00.000-08:00

Fabrissou told me about this movie. It seems really fun.
So here is my rendition of Flynn Rider, and, well... a bara version of Rapunzel (let's call him Rapunzek).

TERAAAAA !!!

2011-01-12T18:23:00.000-08:00

Tera is another korean MMORPG. I might seem a little bit obsessed, but it is not my fault if this country has the best artists in the world. So Tera is another beautiful korean game. Open Beta has started in korea, and has a lot of (deserved) success. For those who never heard of it :

lots of videos on youtube :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rr_xLMaW--E&feature=related

korean website :
http://www.tera.hangame.com

US website : (beta will start around summer 2011)
http://www.tera-online.com

I was planning playing it tonight. But the servers went down for maintenance. So I decided to make a fan art of my sorcerer character :

Love this, Love that ...

2011-01-01T08:15:00.000-08:00

Ooouh, I love that ! A lot... It's a shame this blog isn't updated very often. But you should check this out, mostly for this awesome illustration. Link has never been sexier... Colors and anatomy are amazing !

http://rocketmenstudio.blogspot.com

And that too : Logan, the god of all the gay illustrators, posted some awesome studies for the short comic to be published in Dokkun 3. It looks like it's the direct sequel of the previous amazing comics he did (in Dokkun 2). Logan seems to have a lot of fun with the watercolor brushes in Photoshop. And it looks like he read Hellboy a lot, too (the flying heads), uh uh uh uh...

Happy New Year !!!

2010-12-31T10:28:00.000-08:00

I finally found some courage to make a greeting card for my blog. That's weird, because I didn't plan making any greeting cards, and I usually don't....
But this year, I ended up making 4 different ones... One for my friends, one for my boyfriend's co-workers, and this one for you, little perverts...

I wish you all the best ! Thanks for all your support ! Have fun ! I love you all (and I'm not drunk) !

Vindictus US Open Beta

2010-10-19T10:38:00.000-07:00

As you may already know, when I got time, I play Vindictus, the latest online game from Nexon. I used to play the korean version, but it was frustrating as I had no clues about what the story were about. This game is really addictive, and to be able to buy underwears is a nice addition to the game :)

This game is an instance base action RPG, and play a little bit like Demon's Souls (best PS3 RPG), and Monster Hunter. Player skill plays an important part in the character progression, as the combat system is real time. The player has to learn how to dodge, block and launch powerful combos. The skill training is very similar to Mabinogi (an open world MMORPG), player has to pick a skill to train, and spend AP to level up this skill. Player cannot train several skill at the same time, so he has to choose very carefully what skill is the best to learn at a given time.

AP can be obtain when clearing dungeons. Dungeons (or Battles) are the core of the game. In these Battles, player can do quest and harvest materials (killing monsters, or using mine bomb on special rocks). Material are used to craft armor, weapons, potions. Crafting is vital. Most of the items must be crafted, and can not be purchased from NPCs.

This leads to the Marketplace, the feature you'll probably use the most. The Marketplace allows you to sell your items, or buy them. The interesting part is that if you don't want to farm over and over again a Battle to obtain a rare quest item, you can buy it there. Quest (Story) system is interesting too. Doing quest is really important too, they are mostly quite hard to achieve, but they are very rewarding. Stories give you Gold and Xp, of course, but they give you also : "Titles". Titles are small text that can be displayed in your char name to show off. But in Vindictus, Titles give you permanent statistic bonuses.

At the moment only 2 characters are available (Korean version will soon have 4) : Lann a warrior who can uses 2 weapon at the same time (damage dealer), and Fiona, a warrior who uses a shield and a sword (tank), and who has the ability to block attacks.

Graphic-wise, Vindictus is gorgeous. Art direction is one of the best at the moment. It may not be the most technically advanced game, but it doesn't need a very big comp and the Source Engine delivers. The characters are beautiful (specially the faces), shaders are used very thoughtfully. The UI is smartly done and not too invasive. Sounds are great and add a great violent feel to the fights.

They are so many things to talk about this game. I can only recommend you to try it.
If you want to play with me just add me to your friendlist ingame (Silencio, west server).

I was planning to make a real (drawn by hands) Vindictus fan art, but I din't have the time.

But I found a very interesting tool : 3D Ripper DX, which works like FRAPS but in 3D. This tool can grab DirectX informations, as meshes, textures, shaders, when a DX9 app is running. So basically, with it, you can, import almost any game models into some 3D packages like 3DS MAX. That's what I did with Vindictus.

So I had fun exploring how the models where made, and building a 3ds Max scenes with ripped Vindictus assets. I played a little bit with Mental Ray, and tried to make a sexy rendering of Lann one of the playable character. Hair have been added in Photoshop, I couldn't find the hair meshes and textures that haven't been imported properly into 3DS. And I slightly corrected the neck and the underwear of the character. Everything else come from the game.

As soon I got time, I will definitely make a real 2D illustration.

Enjoy.

Mr Fraser 's Blog !!!

2010-09-24T07:03:00.000-07:00

Expect some very naughty thing in it. Certainly NSFW.But it's nice to have a glimpse on the creative mind of Mr Fraser well known for his very entertaining scripts for Class Comics...

www.robertfraser.com

CHECK THIS OUT NOW !

It's an order...

BTW, I don't have much time to post anything new...

Maybe the end of next week... I'm currently working on some gig for a game company. I won't last very long as it's a comic commission for an IPAD release...

I'll post some stuff about that soon.

Take care !

This is AAAAART : JOSE WILLIAM VIGERS

2010-09-13T05:15:00.000-07:00

I just visited his website. And I'm really fond of this guy work, it's a shame there's not a lot more.
But the few artworks exposed there, are just simply beautiful, IMHO. It's quite disturbing. It's Egon Schiele but in a more Pop Art way.
If there was a second season for Work of Art : Next Great Artist (BTW, congratulations for Abdi), Jose should definitely consider to be one of the contestant. Oh, and Jose is cute.

Dead Rising 2...Combo Card !!!

2010-09-02T15:22:00.000-07:00

It looks like Chuck Greene found a new one... The Double Dildo ! I'm not sure if it's a very efficient weapon. But it looks fun. Yeah, you already guess, I played Dead Rising 2 : Case Zero, and I really really enjoy it, despite the lack of nice underwear in it...

Dungeon Guard - Original Sketch : Gaven, The Dragon Tamer.

2010-06-29T12:24:00.000-07:00

I just finished a sketch for a very nice guy who purchased a Deluxe Pack. He chose Gaven The Dragon Tamer for his original sketch. The pencils were made on paper, and colors on Photoshop. I hope he'll like it.

Colored sketch.

Original sketch.

And here is some pics of the poster. I'm very happy with the result. This poster version is laminated with a thin grainy mat film, very classy. I wish I could keep it for myself... :)

YEEPEE !!!

2010-06-25T13:50:00.000-07:00

Dokkun First issue is finally

available for purchase !!!

Get yours here !!

COLEEEEEERE !!!! Alan Wake, j'aurai ta peau !

2010-06-25T07:42:00.000-07:00

Ouaip, super vénère que je suis là. Vraiment. Y'a d'la haine!

Premièrement : Ma Xbox360 a rendu l'âme en jouant à Alan Wake. Du coup, doublement en colère. Parce que ouaip, la loose quoi, perdre sa console en jouant à un jeu(?) de merde... J'aurai du le sentir venir, tant de médiocrité, elle n'a pas supporté. Pourtant elle avait bien encaissé "Clash of the Titans". Du coup pour me défouler, voici mes impressions sur Alan Wake.
taux de colère :10/10

N'ayant rien sous la dent après avoir fini le monumental Red Dead Redemption, j'ai vraiiiment essayé de finir Alan Wake.. mais bon, entre fou rires (ralentis et bullet-times hors-propos), agacements (clins d'oeils appuyés,plagiats,clichés) , crispations (répliques dignes d'un Marc Dorcel faisant dans la parodie fantastique), ennui (levels construits tous sur un même modèle, aucun renouvellement de gameplay), accablement (les "previously", au cas où le joueur aurait une mémoire de poisson rouge et un QI d'huître, et qu'il n'en aurait pas saisi les enjeux inintéressants qu'on lui a rabâchés, surlignés pendant tout l'épisode). Je n'ai pas pu tenir au delà de l'épisode 3. Conclusion :
Alan Wake est très largement sur-estimé, n'apporte rien en termes d'écriture : Pas une seule idée originale, on frise la compil' de la culture fantastique. Les citations font ici plus figures, dans le meilleure des cas, à des hommages maladroits (car peu subtils), dans le pire, des plagiats purs et simples. Et on passera sur le manque de variété niveau gameplay, sur sa structure basique et paresseuse, ses personnages peu charismatiques ou attachants...etc... Il a cependant le mérite d'apporter de nombreuses thématiques littéraires ou cinématographiques au jeu vidéo. Mais c'est n'est pas parce qu'elles y sont rares, qu'elles doivent être traitées par dessus la jambes. Red Dead Redemption en est le contre-exemple parfait. Surtout parce qu'il met très clairement en avant la "vision" de ses créateur sur l'histoire des US (une nation engendre ses propres monstres et s'en nourrit). C'est ce qui manque cruellement à Alan Wake, et qui l'empêche de dépasser le stade du simple "train fantôme": un point de vu. De ce fait, Alan Wake ne retient de ses influences que les gimmicks les plus superficiels, et vide de tout sens les thèmes qu'il essaie vainement de s'approprier. STOP aux jeux à ambitions pseudo-narratives développés par des développeurs à la mentalité de beaufs' puceaux !!!! (à noté, qu'on peut dire à peu prêts la même chose d'Heavy Rain)
Voilà, ça c'est fait...

Deuxièmement: Putain de bugs à la con impossible à dépêtrer sur DG et 5ive. Je swap entre les deux de temps en temps, histoire de prendre du recul. Mais rien y fait. Je commence à soupçonner un bug de DarkBasic Pro, parce que c'est plus simple de renvoyer la faute à l'outil plutôt qu'à son utilisateur. Donc, Raaaaage et frustration.

taux de colère : 8/10

putain d'interfaces qui meeerdent (ça se voit pas là, mais ça merde)

Troisièmement: Trop de trucs à faire, pas de motivations. Et je commence à penser que mon cerveaux et loin d'être aussi multi-tâche que je le pensais. Beaucoup trop de trucs en stand-by. Va falloir que je lâche du lest.
taux de colère : 11/10

Dernièrement : ya rien à la téloche.

Heureusement, malgré tout ce marasme, un rayon de lumière est venu éclairer ma morosité : Les exemplaires de Dokkuns sont arrivés à destination. Et ils ont l'air beaux. J'ai hâte d'en tenir un entre mes mains.

Dungeon Guards - Game ?

2010-06-22T20:44:00.000-07:00

No illustrations for this blog update this time. But a small test made recently. I try to make a DG games, inspired by some famous "dungeon crawlers" like the Dungeon Master series, or more recently Dinosaurs (a Falcom game). I almost finish the exploration part. Next, I'll add triggers and areas loading.

I'll post a very early build very soon, so you can test it...

Dungeon Guards - Big poster

2010-06-14T12:21:00.000-07:00

DOOOONE ! I'm relieved... Ok now, it's time to work for ***bip***. No, I can't tell yet.
Anyway, here is the final version of the poster .All the characters will be available as separate posters too. And to celebrate the 20000 visits on my blog (since I installed Google analytics on May), I also added a 3D version.
-EDIT- : Posters are available for purchase. Follow the "DG Shop" big button on the right. All the details are there. Don't hesitate to contact for further informations and feedback. Thanks !

3D version :

Dungeon Guards - Torbel

2010-06-14T11:30:00.000-07:00

The nightmare is over. Poster is finally done. Here is the last character : Torbel, the Holly Knight, maybe the most popular and the one the first DG character I created (loooong time ago). We can see him the DG short story. I'll post the complete illustration very soon. I have to test some stuff before to make it available for purchase. I found a poster printing company, but I'm not sure if they will agree to print nude males.

En joy !

Dungeon Guards - Gaven, the Dragon Tamer.

2010-06-12T19:55:00.000-07:00

OOOOOH, sorry. It took me quite some time to finished this. First, because, I decided to chill out a little, before starting working on big and serious stuff. So I apologize to my employers for the delay. I'll start your gigs very soon, like, monday. I really had to finish this. I still have one character to make, but that will take much less time.

So here is Gaven and his tamed Dragon. Don't expect to see this dragon in any DG comics, because I had the very bad idea to "over-design" it, and I don't see myself drawing it in every single pannels. Oh yes, indeed, I will make another DG comic for Dokkun. (but not right now). I really enjoy drawing dragons, even it's a little too "cliché". This one was a lot of fun to draw.

This illustration is quite big, so I decided to show you more detailed part of the picture.

Hope you'll like it...

Japan Expo is just a bunch of homophobic otakus.

2010-06-03T02:36:00.001-07:00

I'm just totally chocked and upset. Japan Expo asked Fabrissou to change his poster because "some people" complained about it... "Japan Expo has to be a mainstream convention for all the family and stuff...blahblahblah""

Well, then, how can they justified "prestigious" guests appearances such as "Katsumi" or "Nana Umi".

Nana Umi - Japan Expo 2009

Katsumi - Japan Expo 2009

Since when porn actresses represents familial mainstream entertainment ??? I've got a feeling that Japan Expo would be less inclined to invite fabulous gay porn actor such as Jack Radcliffe or Blake Harper... So let's face it : Dear Japan Expo, could you be at least honest enough to admit that you were just complaining about the poster because of a bunch of homophobic hypocrites ? Could you have enough respect to tell Fabrissou the truth ?

To the people who complained about the amazing poster : "Go fuck yourself (apparently you need it), and let Fabrissou enjoy the convention"

I'm sooooo pissed off.

Dungeon Guards - Nihil

2010-06-01T10:16:00.000-07:00

Another DG character. This one took longer to be made. Don't ask me why. I have no clue. Anyway, it's done. Hope you'll like it. Nihil is a revised version of the Dark Elf archer I made a long time ago. He doesn't have long ears, like traditional elves, because he is part of a warrior cast who cut their ears, to avoid any ears injuries and infections. Only elves using magic keep their ears uncut, because most of their power lies in them. So here it is :

Dungeon Guards : Prologue.

2010-05-26T21:38:00.000-07:00

Available soon in the wonderful Dokkun Fanzine, if everything's all right.

I'm too lazy to post a preview of every single page. I could have done that, because there's only 7, but I decided to make a small teaser made of different panels, instead.

Dokkun will be at the Paris Japan Expo, July, the 1st. I will probably be there too, to cheer up Fabrissou and the team. The fanzine will be available for online purchase after the end of the convention.

MFTG! - un essai de truc pas forcément convaincant.

2010-05-19T06:40:00.000-07:00

Tout est dit dans le titre. Désolé pour les anglophones, il va falloir user de google translate... Parce que, il faut bien le dire, après avoir consulter ma page google analytics, je me suis bien rendu compte que les "frenchies" ne se bousculaient pas vraiment aux portes, pourtant très ouvertes (comme mon... euh... non, rien.), de mon blog. Donc, en toute logique, j'ai décidé d'ajouter un peu de contenu exclusivement francophone pour les attirer de nouveaux. Oui, je sais, il ne suffit pas de mettre tout en français, pour rendre le site "french friendly". Il faut aussi des trucs super interessants. Bah, ça sera pas pour cette fois. Donc, voici le premier episode assez fou, assez dingue, assez incroyable, assez trépidant, de mon strip blog. Voilà, j'espère que vous apprécierez.

Non, vraiment, ne me remerciez pas... Il n'y a VRAIMENT pas de quoi... uh, uh, uh.

Red Dead Redemption - Fan Art.

2010-05-18T16:44:00.000-07:00

Yeah...
I'm completely obsessed by this game... I even dream about it. I didn't feel such thing for a game since... Resident Evil 4. This is the kind of game which will hypnotize you and make your soul its own. Demon's Souls was a little bit like that, but its difficulty made the process much more painful. Red Dead Redemption is immersive and pleasant to play, you won't want to leave it. This is quite dangerous, but fortunately it only lasts 20h.

So I made a quick fan art of John Marston. I think my version is not very accurate, but well, I hope you'll see few resemblances with the original one. The real one is not very handsome, but he's very charismatic, and it is something quite difficult to put into an illustration. And yes : I don't know how to draw fire weapons...

Dungeon Guards - Krakkoooorn !

2010-05-11T19:21:00.000-07:00

As Krakkorn would say : "GRAAAAAH!" (or something like that)

Dungeon Guards - Toveyel colored...

2010-05-10T22:40:00.000-07:00

Another DG character !

Dungeon Guards - Big illustration - Xandros

2010-05-07T17:22:00.000-07:00

Today, I finished both coloring Xandros, and the background. I was considering adding another character in background (The Incubus), but it makes the composition unbalanced and awkward. So I changed my mind and keep the whole composition as is. I plan to distribute the illustration as a set of posters, so you will be able to choose your favorite character, or to pick the whole characters in a single (big) one.I will also make a very special version (like a super mega hyper deluxe limited collector edition), but it's a surprise. More details and more characters to come !

Xandros stand alone poster :

Xandros, "panoramic" stand alone poster (just to show the background better) - you can use it as a wallpaper if you want :)

A working in progress version to show where Xandros will be in the "ensemble" illustration :

Ca va piquer.

2010-05-04T15:51:00.000-07:00

Another Dungeon Guards (Prologue) page.
Here is the translation:

-Shhh! Your god has left this place since a long time ago...
-Holy Knights are so stiff... Relax...
-If you don't, it's going to hurt.
-Interesting. This is making you very wet
-I'm sure you're going to enjoy this.
-One last step.
-The best is yet to come.

And no... I won't post the uncensored version. You'll have to buy the Dokkun fanzine. I know, I'm evil. mwhahahaha.

Dungeon Guards - Still a mess !

2010-04-29T16:15:00.000-07:00

Yup, still very very messy, especially without the colors. But hardest is finished, finally. So line work is over. Feew ! It was quite complicated because I wanted to be able to separate each character into their own illustration. There will a very big one with all the Dungeon Guards, and one for each member of the DG army.
Their are still background elements missing, but that will be added directly in the color process...

Xandros - Rogue

Toveyel - Druid

Nihil - Dark Elf Archer

Krakkorn - Warrior

Gaven - Dragon Tamer

Torbel - Holy Knight

and finally the Dungeon Guards, alltogether :

This picture is 2048*1024. It may looks big, but actually, compared to the full resolution picture, some details have disappeared and the picture is far less sharp. (Picture posted is 5 times smaller than the full res. one)

"Protection divine ?" Mon cul !

2010-04-26T21:19:00.000-07:00

Here is the first page of a Dungeon Guards comic for Dokkun fanzine.
6 more left (yup, that will be a short story). Believe it or not, but it's the very first gay porn page I did in my entiiiiire life... I should get drunk to celebrate this day !

Oh, here is a approximate translation (so English speaking people can appreciate my script writing talent -hem!) :
-So, here is the only survivor
-That's even better !
-Get him down!
-I'm sorry to disturb you.
-View from here is quite... pleasant.
-But both of us have a lot of things to do.
-Perfect, that's really better like that.
-Dear friend, do you know what I hold in my hands ?
-Ung! A Pipe of Truth...
-It won't work on me.
-I'm under divine protection.

Thank youuuuu !

Many thanks to a friend who did this beautiful colorization of the Krakkorn drawing. He did this as a recreation, but the result is just amazing ! Thank you !

Uh?

2010-04-25T09:11:00.001-07:00

For those who's wondering what the big illustration thing is for. Here is a hint...

What a mess !

2010-04-25T08:56:00.000-07:00

Uh,uh,uh... very very messy at this stage. But here is another view on the (BIG) illustration I'm working on (actual resolution : 10630*5056). Still lot of work to do on this one :)

Photoshop Autosave.

2010-04-24T10:02:00.000-07:00

A friend of mine has developped a small app that allow Photoshop to autosave your work every few seconds. The process seems efficient and reliable. This is an early version, so if you want to test it, don't forget to backup your work somewhere else before using it. The author plan to add more features as a historic list.

The instructions:

There a little install to do manually but this is very simple.

-A- Download following ZIP file first : http://a.samavan.com/SAMA_AutoSave.zip

-B- Drop the directory "SAMA_AutoSave" somewhere on your HDD.

-C- There is 2 lines to edit in the "SAMA_AutoSave.cmd" file.
You can open it with Textpad or another ASCII editor.

   chdir "C:Program FilesAdobeAdobe Photoshop CS4 (64 Bit)"
   "Photoshop.exe" "C:SAMA_AutoSaveSAMA_AutoSave.jsx"

  Chdir : please check If the Photoshop Dirctory is correct. (Mine is CS4-64bits)
  2nd line, 2nd "...." : is about the jsx file, my autosave function. Please check if the directory is correct, etc.... If you dropped the directory in the C:/ root there is no modification to do.

To run the *.cmd file, just double click on it when Photoshop is open with one of your file.

It will save your current file (not the other file open) after a little delay. Always the same delay.

All the time you keep the DOS window open, it will continue to save after a little delay.

To Stop the AutoSave program, just close the DOS window.

Functionalities are very poor, this a very first test.
But it works, doesn't crash when saving.

Please test it, and say to me if you want more custom functions.
And I will start to develop a more interesting functionality as we spoke about on the top.

Please note the following points (this can be do easily ) :

If you start the *.cmd file and photoshop is close :
When trying to save, it will automatically start photoshop and then an error will appear.
This is just because i didn't clean my very small code yet, nothing bad.

The delay is currently very shot.
In the *.cmd file, at the following part of the code :

   ping -n 3 1.1.1.1 >NUL

you can edit the number "3". this is not exactly seconds. Maybe 3 is 6 seconds... or 10?
I dunno yet... need to find more details about it.
Just edit it, bigger value will create a long delay, smaller value will reduce the delay. Up to you.

New website design !

2010-04-23T21:35:00.000-07:00

Yeah, I was quite bored with this one. I tried to make something more current and flashy. I get rid of the gallery which were to heavy for some bandwith. You cans till access it through the "Work" item on the menu.
Hope you'll like it !

5ive Progress Report

2010-04-23T21:34:00.000-07:00

The game is still under "production". Core gameplay is now working well. There's still work to do, as I plan to add lots of features...

-Story Mode will be a sort of a dating sim. You'll have to know every NPCs intimaly to gain acces to more content.
-RPG system will help the player to progress more fluetly and to deal with more and more challenging levels. From very simple, the gameplay will turn to be more complex and deep. So The player will have to gain XP to level up, and acquire new skills, units, and costumes to help him.
-RTS / Defense system. In further levels and stages, the player will have to deal with waves of enemies, which will try to break. Main goal will be to clear the grid to reveal the "encrypted" picture, but also to protect and defend your "base". The player will be helped by special units which will have to be build using gathered ressources.
-Pet system. I'm not sure about this. But I think it will be an interesting addition. The pet will grow and could give the player efficient hints and assist him.
-More user friendly level editor. Maybe adding the possibility to create your own story mode, and add custom NPCs and UI. It depends mainly on how I will deal with the dating sim part.

Core gameplay is done (which is actually the same as the previous version). And I finally add the possibility to do combos (clearing a line and a column as the same time).
Now, I'm working on the RTS aspect of the game. Things are starting to be quite interesting. And I'm very eager to see all this elements put together. I'll post an alpha version as soon the RTS components will be finished.

5ive is still developped using Darkbasic Pro, and I switched for a 3D display, wich allow me to add more stuff and lighting effect. Performances are quite good for the moment.

You can still post your ideas and feedback on the 5 beta forum...

Dungeon Guards - Prepare for battle !

2010-04-16T23:50:00.000-07:00

A first glimps at the illustration I'm currently working on. A quite ambitious one. But i's really enjoyable to do it.

Frank West is back

2010-04-16T15:06:00.000-07:00

Made for the upcoming amazing Dokkun Fanzine.

Edit : I added a watermark on this illustration, because, the post card it was made for will be available at Japan Expo (from July the 1st to 4th), in Villepinte, at the Dokkun booth. So if you want the full version, you'll have to say hello and be nice with Fabrissou, which will sell you this for a small fee. There will be many other very nice items to buy. So come visit Dokkun !!!

Something I did because I realized that I missed drawing on paper. (pencil+ball pen on bristol)
http://cgi.ebay.com/Dungeon-Guards-Krakkorn-Pinup_W0QQitemZ300415511600QQcmdZViewItemQQptZArt_Drawings?hash=item45f228ec30#ht_483wt_1184

5 next update.

2010-04-02T01:11:00.000-07:00

Well, it's more like a remake than a simple update.
I decided to switch to real time 3D, instead of 2D. Mostly because it helps to improve performances
and it's cooler. I thought that it will be more complicated to code in 3D, but actually, there's not a lot of differences, as the gameplay is mainly 2D.

So here is a small preview. Well, I just did that yesterday. Nothing impressive.
But it can give you a small idea of what 5 new version will be.

I'll post another article about the gameplay changes.

Have a nice day !

Farewell !

2010-04-01T15:27:00.000-07:00

"yup, just a small post to tell you that from today, I will completely cease all of my gay drawings activity.
I just realized that all this stuff is useless. And I don't enjoy doing that no more.
This blog will shut down soon.
Sorry guys, and take care !"

Well, actually, it was a april foool's joke.
I'm working on a new version of Five actually.
More soon !

Bad guy.

2010-03-22T17:03:00.000-07:00

I tried something little different from heroic fantasy characters. This time I tried to depict some really naughty guy, you'll probably wouldn't want to meet.

Meet Dirty Jack, a very evil guy, who spend his time to wank on she-male porn, has a very lousy hygiene, and very bad temper.

I will probably do more illustrations about this guy. Have some other ideas. The purpose of this is to make me go out of my comfort zone and try new themes.

just a small notice:

2009-12-18T11:35:00.000-08:00

Here are some screenies of the five guys you'll find in the beta.

5 Beta : Puzzle game with nasty images in it.

2009-12-16T03:41:00.000-08:00

Hello !

I'm very happy to announce you, that the very first version of 5 is finished.
Well, what is 5 ?

5 is a little puzzle game made all by myself.
I know that I should working on a Dungeon Guards instead. But I thought that would working on a small game before would help me practicing game coding.

And you know what, it did.

So here it is.

5 is a board game where players have to place token with colored number on it.
Only tokens with the same value or same color can be placed side by side. The goal is to clear the board, with lines or column of tokens.

If you're already are puzzle addicts, you should already know Alchemy. It's a little bit similar. But there's some twists:

First, making lines and column reveal parts of an image. And images are more and more interesting as you progress in the game (if you know what I mean). And there's also bonuses, as the "magic 5" who clears a line and column automatically.

Player can discard up to 8 token during a level, if the player discards more than 8 tokens, the game is over. But the player can discards bonuses as the star token and the magic five. If the player stack 3 stars, the stack will empty itself. If the player stacks 5 "magic 5" bonuses, the stage is completed.

So as you can see, rules are simple, but there's different ways to achieve a level.

And one big plus :
The game graphics are entirely customizable. You can also make your own levels very easyly with the small tool provided.

Beta version will have : 5 levels with 4 stages each.
plus, you can always add levels of your own, and share them.

Beta is not public , unfortunatly.

But if you're interested testing it, drop a comment, and I'll send you a link to the game.

Beta will be available as soon as the "official message board" will be online.

Here are some screenies :

Than can happen...

Custom level !!!

Nightlife is not a free E-book.

2009-12-10T05:22:00.000-08:00

Not, it's not.
so, for those who's downloading it (illegally).
first, you should be ashamed (gnagnagnagna).
This book has been colored by a very talented friend (Yann Duminil), written and drawn by talented authors, who did their best to offer you (not for free, obviously) a beautiful book.
I had the chance to read it and hold it in my hand, and I must say that the publisher did a great job. This book is a very beautiful work of art which deserves a place in you real life shelves, not in some filthy porn folder , mixed up with some random badly compressed porn movie or pictures.

Nightlife depicts really hot sex scene, but the set up is told very nicely, in a very smart and sensitive way. It goes far beyond a standard porn comics production.

If you don't know what you should offered or be offered to you... you should consider BUYING this book !

I don't work so fast...

2009-12-01T09:42:00.000-08:00

4 hours work reduced into 3'30 minutes...
It's an opening sequence for a tutorial made for the fabulous Fabrissou (fabrissou.net).

I'll post the illustration later.

enjoy

WAR is beautiful

2009-10-12T11:18:00.000-07:00

Well, it can be, when it's about a project of one of my friends, Tom, who's trying to depict a classy, and edgy futuristic universe : WAR, which is intended to be a 3 parter short movie.

If you're a fan of Ghost in the Shell, Avalon and Chris Cunningham work, you should definitly check the concept arts posted on his website.

Make it work !

2009-09-04T15:39:00.001-07:00

As usual, nothing new on the "Dungeon Guards" side.
I've been kept a lot busy with my mainstream work, working on 2 comic books at the same time. (one for WS, one for Ape Entertainment).

But things are getting a lot better since Project Runway S06 is finally here.
For the moment, this season is not as good as season 04, but it's still a lot entertaining...

here is a little hommage I did...

2009-09-04T11:33:00.001-07:00

Here is a comic published by Ape Entertainment, called Dead Duck.
I'm a huge fan of this comic artist. I recommend you to pick it up!
Here is an extract. Enjoy !

Diamond Comics Order Code is: SEPT09 0577

Open publication - Free publishing - More jay fosgitt

Nothing new... Sorry about that.

2009-07-22T07:30:00.000-07:00

I feel ashamed, but I haven't any update about some progress on the game or something else related. These days, I'm quite overwhelmed with mainstream jobs. It's a very bad excuses, specially because these jobs are not very exciting...

I just had the time to sign up on Facebook and Twitter. So we can know each other better.

Didn't hear of it before, until someone put the link in the comments. I guess it's some poor attempt to make hidden advertising ;) . But you know what ? This is actually a really fun and smart gay webcomic. So go check it !

Dungeon Guards, The Game - Characters part3.

2009-02-07T22:14:00.000-08:00

Here is the third playable character. As every RPG, this one is a magic driven character. The Elf Druid will be able to heal his partners, and will be able to change himself into a powerful wolf like creature.

Here is the "wolf like" version:

And, yes, for those who watch a lot of brit TV, this character is strongly inspired by some actor who I have a "crush" on. Try to guess who.

Dungeon Guards, The Game - Characters part2.

2009-02-03T11:17:00.000-08:00

Sooner than expected, here is the new character, the Thief, who is able to steal additional items on creatures, and has the ability to manipulate 2 weapons at the same time, and the only character using bows as well. His main magic skill will be invisibility, which prevents him of enemies attacks.

And I repost the Warrior picture, as I added some stuff in the picture.

There is 2 characters left... Stay tuned.

Dungeon Guards, The Game - Characters. part 1

2009-02-01T20:08:00.000-08:00

As I promised, here is the first playable character.

He will be the first one you meet on your journey.

He's wearing a low-level equipment. I didn't post the nude version, because I don't want to spoil that part of the game. I'll post more next week. See ya !

Dungeon Guards, the game... working on it.

2009-01-29T10:44:00.001-08:00

Yes, that's a think I always wanted to do. I didn't have the time, but things have changed. And it's time for me to make it happen.

Game design is almost done.

And I'm working on the graphics.

Dungeon Guards, will be a Turn-based RPG. The player will have to recruit Dungeon Guards, equip them, make them fight and gain XP (as every traditional RPG). Each Dungeon Guards will have specific skills. Last but not least, to release their ultimate power, the player will have to have sex with them !

On february 2nd, I will post some characters graphics.

As you noticed, I added a gallery in the top of the page. I tried to put all of my missing work. I may have forgot something, just let me know. I didn't experienced any problems with this flash widget so far, except the annoying "Get widget" logo. I used WidgetBox to insert the flash gallery. It's quite simple, but you have to deal with that ugly logo. If someone know how to simply and properly insert a widget in Blogger, I'll be very thankful if you tell me.

Resident Evil 5 demo, not only for japanese !

2008-12-07T19:13:00.000-08:00

If you don't want to (or are too lazy) to create a japanese gold xbox live account, there's a way to get it.

All you need, is a blank DVD-/+R, a DVD writer, and BurnAware Free installed on your computer.

First, google "Resident Evil 5 demo iso (or) download"

I won't give you the link,as I'm not sure if it's legal.

Download the demo on your PC.

Create a folder named : "Content"

Extract the demo archive into that folder.

You should have a 4 levels folder :/Content/0000000000000000/434387F2/00080000/

and in the last level, one big file : F1DDFE89B7AB645A93E17B12DA7D91588B3255A343

Run BurnAware

Insert your blank DVD

In Burn Aware : choose "create a Data DVD"

in the new window : click : "Add".

Click the "Content" folder once, then click "Add" and "OK".

Click the "Compilation" tab, and "Preferences"

Tick "Define the speed before writing", click "OK"

Now, click the Big Red button

and choose the right writing speed (x8 is good)

Wait the end of the writing process.

Load your DVD into the Xbox360

The Xbox 360 should detect the DVD as a Multimedia Disk (or something like that)

Go to your Games Library, and got to the Demos section.

Resident Evil 5 should appear in the list (with some japanese characters).

Launch it !!! and have fun !!!

I just finish playing it, and it went all beyond my expectations !!!

A lot similar to RE4 in the gameplay, but with updated gorgeous graphics ! The environment are rich and detailed with sharp textures. The lightning is really well done. Art direction is great.

The first level is an absolute nightmare (reminds me a lot the first level of RE4).

At first, I was a little bit sceptical about co-op play, but this mode is a great addition, and far more interesting than the GoW one. It's the first time that my boyfriend didn't mind to start a level again and again without loudly crying of frustration.

Now, I just have to hibernate waiting for the release date.

Resident Evil FOREVER !!!

2008-12-05T20:12:00.000-08:00

I don't why, but these days was like that every single moment I spent was entirely dedicated to Resident Evil.

I can't wait to the RE5 demo coming online on the XBox Live (already available in Japan, but, unless you have a japanese GOLD account, you're screwed). Resident Evil Degeneration is finally available on DVD (or watchable somewhere in the underground internet zone).Damn, this game is like a drug for me... I should do something to cure myself, like ... doing some nasty FanArts !!! (with an extra bonus : a 3D version !!! - of course you'll need some special glasses)

Here it is :

Regular version :

click here for larger version

3D version :

click here for larger version

If you didn't notice, this is a Resident Evil 5 Fan Art. You can see Chris Redfield climbing up a ladder, and next to him Shevan, the male version of Sheva :D .

About RE Degeneration (if my humble opinion interests you):

As I understood, the story takes place just before RE4 (The new parasite is not mentionned). After the Racoon City destruction, the case becomes public. As a consequence, Umbrella collapse, and finally is shut down. At the same time, bioterrorism is raising up. A new organisation, Terra Save, tries to control the WilPharma activities, and the experiences made on human subjects for a new vaccine. But the plague will soon start again, when an infected WilPharma employee is found sick in an airplane, resulting in a spectacular aircrash. The Virus T is back.

This CGI movie is a little bit disappointing. Story is too confusing, and most important, it doesn't look like a survival movie, but more like a Sci Fi one... But it's always a pleasure to see Leon Kennedy (as seen on RE4) again. Claire Redfield and all female characters look like "botoxed" barbie dolls... (maybe the weirdest creatures in that movie).
This film is really made for fans, and reminds a little bit of what Square did with FF Advent Children. Some flaws are similar : too much "fan service", story that could confuse or even bore viewers who don't know the RE saga... (my boyfriend slept during the film)... A little bit less of RE, and a little more of real zombie movie wouldn't hurt...

Anyway, Re Degeneration deserve a watch, more than the live action adaptation.

(oh, by the way, I need a French/English translator, or someone who can correct my poor grammar...thanks)

Team Fortress 2

2008-11-25T20:35:00.000-08:00

Someone at Y! gallery, gave me the idea. And I'm surprised not to have thought about it myself : making a fan art of Team Fortress 2. Art direction in this Valve (again!) game, is just absolutly stunning ! Characters are very stylish, funny and well done. It's a shame I can't play this game because my PVP skills are just too horrible... I try to stick to the art style of these beautiful artworks we can see during the loading screens... not easy at all... ENJOY !

Back to School...

2008-11-22T22:00:00.000-08:00

I recently played the PC Version of Rockstar's Bully (Scholarship edition). I have to admint there's something really sexy about it. I don't know... Teens don't usually turn me on. But this Bully has something really cool and attractive. Let's not talk about the sport teacher...

Yeah, beside the "kind-of-erotic" acpect of this game (don't expect nudity or more), I strongly recommand it ! I like GTA series, but this Rockstar game is just pure fun, and I'm amazed by the content this game has to offer, lots of really fun activities (bullying buddies, making nasty tricks, sneaking into girls dorm, missing teaching classes, riding bike around the city, going to the funfair...). You'll never do the same thing twice, or you won't feel to do so. It's like GTA, but more fun, and Fable, with more balls.

Here is my little tribute...

I don't care about the Zombies...

2008-11-18T21:00:00.000-08:00

I'm only interested in Francis.... Francis... Well, I think I found the Luuuuuuv'.

Unfortunatly, I can only meet Francis in the wonderful Valve game : Left4Dead, and everytime we see each other, we always are bothered by armies of Zombie (probably jealous people). Francis is so hot, than it will be difficult to think that the 3D artist who made him is not completly gay... or maybe he's really gay friendly. I must confess that Francis almost surpassed Frank West from Dead Rising in my heart.

It's curious, but the most amazingly hot guys in videogames, are often found in Horror/Zombies games :

- Francis from Left4Dead

- Frank West from Dead Rising

- Chris Redfield from Resident Evil 5 or even from the gamecube remake of the first one.

- Leon Kennedy, Wesker from Re4

...

I guess the developper offer us some cuties to low down the pressure and stress occured during playing such games, or maybe it's because I only play survival games...

Anyway, here is my tribute to Francis :

Live ! in 3D !

2008-11-18T20:58:00.000-08:00

Samavan is a very talented 3D artist who works in Japan! Today he just send me the link to his 3D portfolio, made with Quest, a 3D application who allow you to make 3D interactive walkthough. I was really happy and surprised that he put 3 models, inspired by some of my concept art. It's a shame these characters won't be used in a video game... Thanks a lot Sama.Van !!!

You can download the 3D portfolio here :http://samavan.com/sama.van_Portfolio_v0.2.exe

Left click to select a model, Right Click to rotate the camera, Middle Click to pan the camera, Mousewheel to zoom in and out.

The characters I designed are the three first models. (Check the concept art section at gorgonzola3000.com to see the design)

Back !

2008-11-18T16:03:00.000-08:00

Yeah, for those who care, I'm back !

This time, I'm not planning to make a fancy website with flash animations.

Just a simple blog, a lot more easier to update, as I'm getting lazier and lazier.

I must confess that I spend a lot of time focusing on my "mainstream" activities, but with the coming of a wonderful and quite nasty project. I thought that it would be interesting to post some new work and updates. And it's a good way to let you kept in touch, with this highly secret project.

Here is some facts I 'm able to report :

-It will be a comic

-I'm only drawing and coloring

-The amazing superstar Logan is writing it. (http://www.loganporncomics.org)

-It's very fun to work on it !

I will post some material, as soon as I'm allowed to do so.

Anyway, I'm glad to be back drawing very nasty and kinky stuff !

Cheers !
