lol guess no one likes ye old purple shades then eh?
ok back to old school tones, sorry

...wow, sexy sky evil!

YAY, I gladly would have paid... but free things smell so much nicer

Thanks once more
Inspirational posts... makes the hard hours spent well worth it

Thanks guys glad you all find the style somewhat 'good looking' I'm starting to hate that image personally... most likely cause i've been staring at it for the better part of this century
I agree with your views reguarding the clashing of characters/backgrounds.
I have a go at making a GUI item using this method.... mucho's easier and much more enjoyable! since the canvas is a 34th of the size.

A tad on the dark side.

Thanks again for your views... especially the 'practise makes perfect' notation... after rehab I might just give it another go

ooo ooo! so good it hurts... chest convultions... rectum pains....

TOP WORK!

Maybe set them on the hinge thingys that you can do in flash... I'm sorry, I dont know what they are called...

Sorry, don't quite getcha mate it's not my time of the day... vast quantities of sleep deprivation. I could import the backgrounds into flash but not as vectors... sadly due to the amount of pixel definition and colour so the effect would be much the same.
Here is an example of the kinds of characters I do in flash, once again an incomplete image for which i apologize.

I think the combination of both styles would be considered as a moral sin for which i would indeed be punished.

DEAR GOD IM FLATTERD! thanks 1.5 million
And you've struck on another dilema I forgot to mention... as long as 1 whole background would take to finish (im estimating around 4 years) there's no comprehension of how long it would take to frame animate a chracter in that style. Since i do most of my character work in flash (due to it's tweening capabilities) the two styles would clash like chalk and...chalk.
Thanks again for your words  

Greetings,
I've recently been experimenting with the infamouse smudge tool. Apon hours of doodling it seems apparent that it can be used to produce somewhat vivid background images, my main concearn is that of the 'time factor'. It involves relentless bordom and I fear I'm gambling with my sanity whilst creating these images. So the true question... IS IT ACTUALLY WORTH IT? I'm not overly impressed with the outcome (example below - took around 5 hours... you see my dilema?), infact my heart leans more towards cartoony type drawings. If only i could draw so well on paper... I must be developing early signs of parkinson's desease.
(a half finished tree, a stone.. and half a sky... youth gone...)

Anyways... I'd appreciate any speed enhancing tips from anyone who has endured this kind of work... or maybe i should just give up while im.. behind  
Cheers  

Cheers , glad to hear that the effected version looks better since it took quite some time to do.
I was thinking i could add to the older version... make it look a little fuller, a little more 'alive'... then have it fade into the skull as part of the animated title? few bolts of lightening... a demonic groan.. etc.

lol yea thanks flippy, i probably should have clarified that in the original post
Thanks for the wonderfull comments, I'm more inspired than ever now.
Here's an (un-decayed) version of my logo... before such effects were implemented.



I was even contemplating animating the logo somehow... not quite sure how i would go about it... certainly not frame animation.
Thanks again  

p.s

n. pl. ibex or i·bex·es
Any of several wild goats of the genus Capra, especially C. ibex, native to mountainous regions of Eurasia and northern Africa and having long, ridged, backward-curving horns.

ooo very clean and may I say, sexy style

"shut the f*ck up Donnie!"

Done in Photoshop with a combo of smudging and relentlessly playing around with the saturation. C&C appreciated
Cheers

Thanks for your words
As a result i checked out some SQ3 pics (having never played it).
I agree with you on the colors... pinks and cyans galore hehe
The teaser shant be long now,
thanks

Cheers for all the replies  
btw...Birds don't have fingers... silly people ... it's um.... a misplaced feather... eheh hmmm
Anyway here's another flash peice, this was done some time ago and was intended to be a background, however it was never finished due to my A.D.D complications.

Backgrounds look great!!  

lol thanks.... i think

Thanks people, means a lot
I'll post more when I can

And im spent...

Another quicky.... i must be high... this one took around 25min

This is a quicky done shortly after I posted the one above... took about 15-20min
