Mother2
Braiiiiiiiins... - by ozwalled

An interpretation of an Urban Zombie, done for the 2007 Halloween Funfest.

This one was a lot of fun to do. Though it's difficult to tell from the scan, a number of the parts of the painting are a bit raised up, such as the skin on the shoulder by the bite, some of the maggots, and the brain matter leaking from the head. It was something I'd never done before, so I hadn't anticipated the problems I had scanning the thing -- since parts were raised, they pushed the stetched canvas upward when it was being scanned. As a result, i had to stack heavy stuff on my scanner and press down on it to get it to scan right. XD Jolly good fun.

ozwalled	Cerebrum	The Cerebrum enemy from Mother 1. Another one of my favorite pieces, mostly because it's so close to what was in my mind before my digital pen touched my Wacom tablet. Maybe it's just my neuropsychology background at work, but I thought that the Cerebrum to be one of the cooler, more fitting of the "campy" enemy ideas in EB0. I mean, he's a brain, on a glass-domed platter with legs sticking out the bottom! How awesome is that! The legs on the original didn't look quite so human, so I decided to have them look human-ish, but not quite.	4/26/05	8.58

ozwalled	Electro Specter Emerges	Electro Specter emerging from a pile of liquid metal. The Electro Specter is another enemy that I'd not had a lot of interest in drawing for a good while. It wasn't until I was reading through the Player's Guide one day and read that it was "a lethal combination of energy and molten metal" that I was inspired to do this, one of my very favorite pieces of my EB art. In my mind, I pictured a pool of liquid metal (a la Terminator 2) running uphill and morphing up into the Electro Specter, electricity arcing from it as it solidified. I also envisionned vein-like tunnels of the liquid rushing up, not unlike lava tubes. I feel that I'd captured all of that pretty successfully. I also opted for axe-like and hammer-like "hands", to illustrate a "morphing" type ability.	4/27/05	8.58
