whoa

dang that is some awesome work....I wouldn't even know where to start

your like godzilla. awesome.

Great work. Should have done a tutorial.

You did that in one day? Damn dude

This is when I start feeling like the fine art of drawing is becoming more and more obsolete.. Everything I do is hand drawn and when I see rad work like this I'm like, "damn.. I wish I knew how to use a computer better.." Haha

Ha. When I haven't used a pencil in too long I find myself saying the opposite.

Awesome!!

I guess we can never be happy... Haha

Thank you everyone! I appreciate it. I did it in about 2 days. When I first got Photoshop 6 years ago, I would only do this type of work. Thankfully, I had a lot of time to mess around with teaching myself how to do this.

How you so good, buddy? How you be so good!

Great work there Zeb! Looks flawless! I started out doing this type of crap in the beginning too.

this thread rules

sort of the same i guess for illustrators, haha

Derek,I totally do that for illustrations too! Sam, that is some fine handy work. Great job. The blood splatters are really natural looking.

wow, um this was really cool.

nice, awesome stuff in this thread already!

I took this picture yesterday at a Civil War village. The model was a guy I knew who is a big history buff. He got dressed up and modeled for the shoot. We didn't have any electricity, so all the lighting is natural. The whole cd layout will be based around this man. I still need to draw the lettering and add the record title. But here is what I have so far:

wow. turned out great. And actually a really nice photo to begin with.

very cool, what an awesome resource to have

I just finalized this today. Myspace to match it should be launching soon at http://www.myspace.com/hatred514 Let me know what you think!

Thank you very much Jason, and Derek. It means alot. Here is the outside traycard of the In Spite cd I'm working on. + + about 15 other bits and pieces of other photo's I took =

Here is the start of page one of the booklet: Here is the finished page:

Zeb you're on another level with this stuff.

the sparks are an awesome touch.

Thanks alot guys!

You've got some awesome stuff going man! You should definitely do a tut some time, would be great to watch your process!

Here is the start of another panel for this booklet I'm doing: Here is the finished page:

zeb you are a monster. all this looks great.

Everything in this tread is fucking awesome. Props dude!

Awesome stuff, Zeb.

You guys are great, thank you for the kind words. Here is another panel. It was pretty tedious. I had to photograph a bunch of pictures of individual glass shards, and broken windows. Here is the finished:

That ones the best.

dang man...this keeps getting better and better

Insane!

Panel 7..one more to go: Finished:

not sure if these actually go in here....all three were pretty much for fun. the text sucks on the first, but i couldnt really get it to do what i wanted lol! http://i940.photobucket.com/albums/ad249/tywhattheeff/5.jpg http://i940.photobucket.com/albums/ad249/tywhattheeff/6.jpg http://i940.photobucket.com/albums/ad249/tywhattheeff/7.jpg http://i940.photobucket.com/albums/ad249/tywhattheeff/submission.jpg http://i940.photobucket.com/albums/ad249/tywhattheeff/1.jpg http://i940.photobucket.com/albums/ad249/tywhattheeff/2-Copy.jpg

WOAH!!! Thats amazing. In fact its ALL amazing.

Damn, Zeb your work is awesome. Can't say anything else.

I have two options; A. step up my game B. give up unbelievable work.

Don't stop! Thank you everyone! Here is one from about 3 years ago? I believe it was the first thing I did like this.

This is artwork I did for band called 'Tribes'. Here is the original picture I took 2 years ago in Montana: Here is the finished one:

these are pretty rad to see.

Here are some new ones that I'm working on for a album layout. to This is another panel, unfortunately it's just the after. I used too many images to list them all.

sick!!

good lord. This just keeps getting better. very great.

Thanks acbananas, and jason!

that crashed boat is incredible!

I'm a sucker for 'Before and After', love this.

Outside traycard: To:

Zeb, these are so sick! I've been tinkering with this style lately, you must have an epic library of stock explosions and decay, haha

I made one of these today, client sent me some family photos and asked for an album cover with the kids and dandelions turning into birds. He liked this one: But I thought just one of the kids looked cooler:

For a band called Immoralis. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v233/orwellgitar/bandjob.jpg

Cutty: I do have a bit of an archive of debri photos. We have quite of bit of construction here in Pitt, and I just photograph as much as I can. Tim: looks pretty rad. I would try not to completely black out his robe though. I think the grayish color would give the piece more detail. I like what you did with the hair/eye. And the lettering is rad

Thanks for the tips Zeb, I really like the idea of bringing the robes greys and folds out more, appreciate the input man!

Looks great, Tim. I thought the same thing about the robe. I'd like to see the logo somewhere else, too. IMHO, It feels claustrophobic that close to the arm and edge of the image. Love the rain drops on the sword.

New cd cover. Model was a friend of mine. to

all of those edits are amazing, very inspiring.

Just finished up the traycard. to

This thread is pure awesome. Keeps getting better and better.

did this a couple years ago, love playing with photo manipulation. All the stuff in here is awesome.

hahaha i dont even get how this is done. good job dudes.

This thread is nuts. Zeb, your work is fantastic.

Thank you everyone for you comments. Here is the latest one I finished. to: The original had both soldiers wearing Confederate uniforms, so luckily I took another photograph that matched exactly with the man wearing a Union uniform.

Something new I started working on. I found a pretty cool building in New Kensington PA. to

There is some great work here! I have been working on ageing effects, not sure if they look realistic enough though.

Currently in communication with the photographer about working with the hi-res version of this photo. Expect a large print soon! http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5089/5202688800_09f8ff2d06_o.jpg

shit zeb... very inspiring work!!!

wow,, all you guys make an AMAZING work.. like Chad say, it's very inspiring.

my mind has just been blown, great work zeb

wow.. damn! Awesome work zeblove!!

Thanks for everyone's kind words. Here is a new one. to

these are all amazing =]

all works on this thread really awesome.

I always love looking at this thread. You should do a tutorial if you ever have any free time. It's always cool to see someone's work process.

This style is so amazing, but damn does it looks really complicated. I wouldn't even guess on where to begin haha.

Not as sophisticated as the major, but a campy composition I put together a few years ago.

This thread is ridiculously amazing. Inspires me to start doing this kind of work again.

here is one I did during christmas time for a photoshop contest on worth1000.com...that I won. http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/4096/picture2bb.jpg http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/9599/picture11hz.jpg
