now this is how the zombie liu should of looked like.

Wow, excellent work! Nice attention to detail. The damage around the mouth area is exceptionally good... like the added detail of his skin looking stitched together in some spots. Great job.

Yeah I would have preferred something like this.




Thanks dude, I appreciate your comment.

nice work, did you use custom brushes for his skin? good blending on the mouth also.

this would have mad me play as zombie lui

Not reall, just some simple decay brushes applied to the render. Some darker contrasts, blackened eyes, and a pasted cemetery.

It's pretty decent for a quick zombie touch-up.

What the fuck is a decay brush?Yeah, no brushes were used man. There textures.

You make it sound so easy, I'd like to see you come up with something just as good or better. Don't mean to sound rude or anything its just that you really don't know what your talking about dude. But it is just meant to be a little quickie, Im not a pro nor do I want to be one.

Nice work. You could try making the cuts on his body look a bit more natural....right now his body kinda looks like it's made out of rock and there's cracks in it, maybe have some dried up blood coming out of the cuts.

Very nice manip!

The stictches are a nice touch. I also like the mouth too. I think the desaturated skin looks better for zombie Liu. Though, I agree with -Jago- about the awkward rocky cracks. Adding more blood over his wounds may help. Overall, I like it.

So tell me, again... WHY aren't you working for Midway?
Brushes or no fucking brushes, you did a hell of a job. I really doubt people in the video game industry want to waste their time for 9 hours doing their own pixel by pixel editing when their company buys a software package that cuts the time in half (if not more). Why have your employee waste time and money if they could do 9 different jobs under the same time restraint?
And please, try not to be so anal as to take my over exaggerations so god damn literally.

Yes, true true...I agree. At first I came up with a more greenish and more slimy-ish zombie not using the textures but something else, but It didn't look as "dark" as this one. So I went with the sort of cracks look. Trust me, it was for the better. The blood on his mouth is suppose to indicate that he just ate someone/something if anyone was wondering. Its not due to damage.

I may try and edit this to make it a little better. No promises. Thanks btw.




Thanks.




Lol, I won't take you exaggeration literally, so assuming that you like it I will simply say thank you.

And for the last time people, I don't use any "decay" (wtf) brushes or any brushs for that matter. These are made with textures. Also, would anyone like to see more of these? If people want to see more, than I would consider making more. Possibly requests, I don't know.

Raw Dope

Hmm, I wanna say its the prefect look but I just have a few thoughts...

I say instead of using cracks I'd say use you know little scars on his body. I think I'm the only person who disagrees on the mouth a little bit. I say you should've had the bone look go up to like one of his cheeks with some blood one it instead of just around the mouth, or have half of the mouth have skin but the other side shows the teeth. You get what I'm trying to say right?

giving him black eyes was a very good thing to do. Makes him look even more "soulless" and "empty" than in the game.

Oh and I'm not sure but did you edit his hair? It looks a lot more dirty in this (which is good).

Overall I'd say very good job like your other one, and I wish they used this look instead of what they made.

Because they only hire lazy, uncaring slobs who perform only half assed jobs

Bet you won't tell that to they faces though...

You're right, but I will tell it to their faces.

Wow....I guess grammar is the most important thing in the world isn't it?

ceepy, this could give my little brother nightmares.

I'm confused, what do you mean by textures? did you make a 3d model of kang and apply your own texture mesh to it? because if you just edited a pic of him in PS, i dont know how you just used a "texture" wtf does that mean

Hey this is sort of hot!

My goodness! I didn't think you'd take it to heart so much. The gentleman asked if you used CUSTOM brushes, and (based on my knowledge and experience) I told him that's it's simple brush work to help him getting a better understanding. This has nothing to do with being pro or not, nor did I ever say you were or should be one.

You can get TONs of crack, decay, and stitch brushes, that look VERY similar, at DeviantArt.

In Fact:

Call it whatever you want to call it (brushes, textures, whatever) it's found here and it ISN'T all that hard to learn and use.

Again, I'm not trying to put you down. You did a fine job with it and it works well with the zombie Liu Kang. I'm just trying to clear some thick fog for FoDeah and anyone else who is interested there.

Relax!

believe it or not, ive been working with photoshop for 11 years, so i understand what decay brushes are, i am not taking any offense to your suggestion that i may not understand, but i consider any brush used outside of the standard palette as a custom brush, i personally choose not to use them often because i believe they have a distinct look that is easy to determine their origins, which will take away from the realism of an image


in my second post I honestly just didnt understand wtf akeldama was talking about when describing what he actually did, what ever he did i hadnt heard anyone use those terms, and it sounded as though he thought we had no clue what we were talking about


but thanks for the link, maybe i'll play around with them and see if i cant recreate the pic, to see whats really going on here

Oh my god, this is amazing. I want to be Zombie Lui Kang for Halloween now!

This is amazing, amazing, amazing. Amazing is such a dull word. But I just have a limited vocabulary. Sorry.

10/10 :) :) :)

Ohhh! love the exposed teeth!!! Very Marvel-Zombie!!!! Amazing!
