You did it quickly. Its fine now, just the blood is not those great things. Draw the blood like a hot red fluid from two poor innocent child who tried to write their names in the chzo tree. Actually its not BLOOD, its GORE. Put that feeling. And your signature. And let us see.

Just one thing: have you asked permission to Yahtzee to publish that? I know he wont move a finger if you didnt do, but its polite.

LOT better! And here's how you draw blood: instead of using billions of little, transparent stains, you should use bigger, darker ones. If you put some lighter red into it, then it'll also have depth. It might not be appropriate on a white shirt, though.

Hmmm... Did you guys notice that the Tall Man image that appears in the endgame is quite different from the Tall Man of the game?

He doesn't seem that different, he's just missing the little mantle he wears over his coat...

Anyways...

Here. This has to be the most work I've ever done on a piece that I gave up on. Still haven't the slightest on how to do blood, but here's my best effort.

Very nice, but the blood looks a little too even. Putting a larger patch on the arm holding the weapon-thingy might be better, at the moment they all look the same size.

Apart from that, excellent, a hell of a lot better than I could do.

It's better now, but the shirt looks like it has been used to wipe up a small amount of blood from some other surface. Don't hesitate to use deeper tones of red, and make the blotches have a sharper contour, so they'll not look like smears, but splashes. Sorry, can't express myself any better at this time of the night.

Sometimes it seems like the Tall Man is just Yahtzee getting his revenge on all the people who made fun of his tallness.

Oh God. I'm next.

Forgive me if I accidently double-post, my connection sucks.
And one of these days Image Shack is going to catch on and ban my IP address.

Now nicely wall paper sized for those of you who want a disfigured blood-smeared murderer on your desktop. FREAKS.

Really freaking good now. Maybe there is too much blood now... anyway there are still three things missing:

1 - The blood on his axe-lance;
2 - His neck;
3 - Your singnature. And make it cool.

Yes we are FREAKS, thats why we play Yaz games.

Since I've seen much better artwork than the one I'm working on, I'll show it now.

Ok, folks, here is my vision of the Tall Man.

Ok, now you're just being fickle.

And I won't sign it. It's not my character.


The 3D thing is pretty cool, but I almost want to say he should be taller and thinner. The description is game seemed to indicate that he looked "stretched," like some sort of Chzo taffy pull.

Also, the writing on that sign is much too neat to be scary.

Now that is good blood.

Ok, my last work is a piece of TIHS<< , dont look at it, plz. Working on a better version.

[Nostaw]

Ok, here we go. Still amateur, but.. well... I'll let you judge.

Well, I'm no expert on 3D rendering (I've heard it's really difficult), so I don't know which suggestions would be doable or not. But for some simple adjustments:

1) Lined paper does not strike fear into the hearts of men. Can you make it yellow aged parchment-like or add some blood to it? Maybe add in some typos.
2) The background and forground don't synch up color-wise. The background is rather rosy, while the foreground has this eerie yellow light. If you can, I'd suggest making the background more like the foreground.
3) The way the Tall Man is holding his right arm seems a little stiff and unnatural. Of course, the Tall Man is a little unnatural by default, so whatever floats your boat.

Edit: One more thing - His coat is a tad too reflective to me. I suppose it might be leather but I always imagined it as more of a matte black. This might just be personal preference. I don't think we ever saw the Tall Man in terribly well lit areas.
