Shuz Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 VampireNaomi: Yes I am a fan of the beatniks and I'm impressed that you knew! Unfortunately It's been a long time since I've last played and I can't remember which one is which. I can't find out either because I'm living overseas at the moment and don't have GF with me. Oh well! Maybe elbiolin could do the bartender in my avatar hehe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeadYorick Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Didnt Eva say that she was "Fat" In her life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sallim Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Didnt Eva say that she was "Fat" In her life? I thought she said it in terms of like ,when "they all had still their skin" in the fat days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbiolin Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Thanks for the info and link about the poems VampireNaomi. About the beatniks I realized they are seven. The waiter, Slisko (the yellow one), Alexi (the pink), Gunnar (Blue), plus three women: green, pink and violet. Now there're ten beatniks at the Blue Casket. The reason: Alexi is reapeted three more times there. The original Beatniks: My Beatniks: And for Shuz the Beat Waiter: Plus Maximino for Achronos: And finally Toto Santos for VampireNaomi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charie Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 All those drawings are fantastic, creative and beautiful. Though I don't agree with quite a few interpritations =). My personal favourite is Eva so far - as a matter of viewing the character, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VampireNaomi Posted April 24, 2007 Author Share Posted April 24, 2007 I love the look of those beatniks. When they're standing next to each other, the different shapes of their faces really stand out. Thanks for the Toto pic, too. Your design of him really reminds me of something, but I can't put my finger on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smon Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 These are fantastic... what about the angelitos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuz Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I like how you gave Slisko big hair. Some great artistic interpretation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadYorick Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 These are fantastic... what about the angelitos? The angelitos have wings. Thats going to be a wierd and not accurate interpretation. Anyway have you done the french waiter for the high rollers lounge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbiolin Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I agree with you Charie. Eva is my favourite illustration together with Chepito and Raoul. Toto reminds me of Willem Dafoe, VampireNaomi - the actor who made the Goblin on Spiderman, for example. Slisko sounds black to me, Shuz. But I'm not too sure about it anyway. Those beatniks, I don't like them very much. I was pretty tired when I did them. I like Maximino better. I was fresh in the morning. I can't see why the angelitos should be a problem because of their wings and yes I did Raoul, the french waiter, Terracentral. Try page two of this thread and you could see it.

Achrono Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Those are wicked man!!! I can't get over how good you are at drawing. How do you, like visualize how they looked with skin so well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VampireNaomi Posted April 25, 2007 Author Share Posted April 25, 2007 Toto reminds me of Willem Dafoe, VampireNaomi - the actor who made the Goblin on Spiderman, for example. That's it! You're absolutely right! Another thing Toto reminded me of is a villain called Pretorius from The Mask cartoon. Anyone know that? Anyway, I too can't see the angelitos being a problem. They didn't have wings when they were alive, so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b0abi Wan Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Welldone elbiolin those drawings are excellent, infact it's put me in the mood to start drawing again. I used to draw cartoons alot myself, your pictures are inspiring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbiolin Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Achrono: I guess they've done them with skin before turning them to skulls. That's it. The game is full of sterotypes too. Like Maximino as Vito Corleone, or the french waiter like some kind of sissy, or the rest of characters taken from Casablanca. It all helps. I remember the bad guy from The Mask, VampireNomi. He shaped the mask related to his personality, taking more square edges than Jim Carrey's character. It makes me think of some bad guys from the Marvel comics too. Thanks b0abi Wan! Me, inspiring? That's not bad. Look for Guadalupe Posada's work for inspiration if you have a broadband connection. That's better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrik Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Absolutely excellent work elbiolin. You've done a great job of capturing the souls of the characters, not to mention the skin. Would you mind if I included these in the eventual museum-style Grim Fandango Network renovations? Most of the fan art is so old that seeking permission isn't really an option, but since you're alive and kicking I'd better be sure to get your courtesy!

VampireNaomi Posted May 5, 2007 Author Share Posted May 5, 2007 That Carla is awesome! I almost feel like I'm seeing her entire character a lot more clearly now, if that makes sense. Great work. And the angelitos are so adorable with those expressions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaTurtle Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 The angelitos are very sweet. And I like the colouring in the last picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbiolin Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Here there is a cover box that I did for a fake ad with skinny characters. It's still a work in progress but enough to show, I guess: And this is a screenshot from a sepia version for GF Network: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
