Invader's Renditions

**Invader** · 02-15-2009 12:00 PM

This... My art-related works. I could have established a thread for this many years ago already, but the idea had never occurred to me. Much of my final work is done digitally, although I'm a big fan of pen on paper action. I've done a little with charcoal, watercolors, and some other physical pieces. I also expect to have a forge running soon as well, so I do hope to get some rather pretty pieces of metalwork out in due time.

Let's begin, shall we?
-----------------------------------

"Lambourghini Harbinger Concept"
Concept car based off Lambourghini's design. Eight hours. First car ever painted in photoshop. Six wheels looks plenty more aggressive than four, amirite?

"Jolly Roger"
Personal pirate flag. "Dream Reaver" is the most common username I run with, and serves as a title. The red stars were influenced by a song called "Red Stars" by the Birthday Massacre, as I was making this piece while listening to them. The date on the bottom is personal.

To be continued...

man thats awsome, i love the lambo

**Xaqaria** · 02-15-2009 09:56 PM

What do you think the turning radius on that thing would be

Looks good though. I originally thought it was rendered in a 3d modeling program

**Marvo** · 02-16-2009 03:03 AM

That looks good! I love the lambo, though the second picture isn't that impressive really.

**Invader** · 02-27-2009 10:35 AM

Thank you friends <3
I always appreciate the love.

Aye, I still feel like doing more with it, but not sure at the moment. Originally it was just intended to be a flat black and white pirate flag without the stars and lighting shenanigans, which would have made it less appealing. Other than that, I'd like to use this space to post anything from finished products to rough ideas.

Anyways, something that took me a bit of time to find the proper pieces to..

"Dream Self"
The original photo for this was taken at a nearby dam here that's built right on the L.A. river. The guy in picture is myself, with my bestest funtime pal standing in the background on one of the concrete rises. This was made to kind of model out how I create my image in some dreams (the gun and eyepatch is an exception here, they just look rather pretty). Oh yea, pirate-ninjas ftw.
Note to self: Buy a hat like that.

Wow, that's really badass, Nice!

**Marvo** · 02-28-2009 03:40 PM

I like the collage kinda look it has. Do you have such a coat, or did you copy it from a shot from the Matrix

?

**Invader** · 05-17-2009 11:24 AM

Thanks no-name. And a part of this was indeed taken from the matrix cover, Marvo

Had to improvise!

"Kill Your Boundaries, Prisoner"
Make of it what you will.

**slayer** · 05-17-2009 05:05 PM

Hmm....

Reminds me of WoW...

Good work though! Keep it up!

**Oneironaut Zero** · 05-17-2009 05:25 PM

I like it. Some glowing eyes would have been a nice touch, though.

Looks like you did well.

**hellohihello** · 05-18-2009 07:37 AM

I have no idea what you just said, but are you really?

Now that one just creeps me out heh.

I was responding to Slayer and O as well. And I'm not officially affiliated with Blizzard in any way. I do, however, like to make WoW inspired photoshops. I'll show you two examples, although I didn't want to originally put them up here since I consider them more comical then just straight up art, so I'll stick 'em in a spoiler:

Spoiler for Death Knight in action.:

**hellohihello** · 05-18-2009 07:52 AM

Those are great because it's true! I stopped playing my DK about a month ago.. well WoW all together. It makes me want to get into it but they got nerfed.

**Invader** · 08-01-2009 01:25 AM

I've always wanted to do this. Do something neat to the walls of my home, as
it were. Why stick to single colors? I feel I'll continue, and get other images
painted up.

This one took quite a bit of time for me to get up. After painting the actual wall
red, the image involved a tattoo design that I altered to suit my purposes in
photoshop. I laid a grid over the black and white image and then superimposed
a grid made of fishing line over the bedroom wall, by which I'd be allowed to
accurately transfer the image. I got the rough outline done and then went over
the entire thing with a deep "ashy black" sort of colour. The result?

There's still a bit of cleanup work it needs with a finer brush over some of
the edges, which I'll get to in due time. Until then, what do ye think? I never
expected to paint my walls red, ever, but the end result leaves me feeling
quite satisfied. It also goes with the whole oriented-imperial gig of this
particular dragon, which is what I was aiming for.

Has anyone else painted curious things onto the walls of home?

**Man of Steel** · 08-01-2009 03:29 AM

That dragon is Badass. With a capital B, man. Now you've got me wanting to paint my bedroom walls so I can draw on them. >_>

**Hollings** · 08-01-2009 03:52 AM

That looks amazing. I wish i could do that haha

**Invader** · 08-01-2009 09:33 AM

Thanks, MoS.

I'd like to see what you'd grace your walls with. Maybe a design that involves a knife, or some variation of the superman "S".
Or something more awesome. That's for you to decide.

Spoiler for hahaha:

With a little bit of planning (and mayhap some measuring) you can do whatever
you'd like, Hollings. Let loose, I say. And thank'ee.

The beginning of my own wall adventure only began on a whim.

**Anomalous** · 08-03-2009 08:08 PM

hell yes!
this is a wicked idea, looks mean on a red wall like that.
I've always just tiled matte cardstock all over my walls and drawn on that...I seem to always be in a state of constant change and can't seem to commit to any one painted design!

props though. do more!

That's absolutely amazing
Hats of all ears off to you, sir. Godly.

**Abra** · 08-10-2009 02:26 PM

mind = blown. Best present ever. : >

My second favorite is the warlock one. :]

**Invader** · 09-04-2009 08:54 AM

And thanks again for the hearty compliments <3

Did something new with wire, and really enjoyed myself. Each one is done out of a single piece of wire.

Fire

Water

Earth

Wind

And my metal man. Looks more like he's shaking his fists than acknowledging
something greater than himself. Doesn't matter.

**Oneironaut Zero** · 09-04-2009 12:58 PM

Those wire sculptures are badass, Invader! Seriously. They're original, well thought-out and actually quite detailed, in their own right. I love the way you represented the elements by giving them their own style, and making the "air bender" flying, while being supported by the current of air, is genius.

Excellent job, man.
