NAME: Splash Area

COMMENTS: If Quake2 was a real live spectator
sport, this is my idea of what it would look like.


NAME: CW Turns Five
DATE POSTED: 10-2-2004
COMMENTS: Just another
site birthday mural, this time for CW's fifth birthday. I drew the
background
and the characters separately on paper, scanned the drawings, colored
them
in Paint
Shop Pro, and assembled all the elements together in Adobe
Photoshop.


NAME: FilePlanet Line
DATE POSTED: 5-20-2003
COMMENTS: This is
my first mural to have 2D sprite characters on a 3D background, and was
the toughest mural to complete at the time. The mural is a depiction of
what online users do while waiting in line to download a file. I used Animation: Master to create the background.
For the characters, I drew their
undersketches
with a mechanical pencil on letter-sized printing paper. I then used a
lighbox and a black Berol
pencil to trace the undersketches on a
sparate
sheet of paper. I then scanned in the cleaned up sprites, colored them
in in Paint
Shop Pro, then used Adobe
Photoshop to compile everything
together.


NAME: Lonely Birthday
Boy
DATE POSTED: 10-2-2002
COMMENTS: On this
website's third birthday, I changed its name from the Infinite World of
Wonder to Creamy's Wonderland. I also put up this mural, showing myself
alone to celebrate the occasion, accompanied only by stuffed dolls of a
few members of the Polycount
community.


NAME: Birthday Surprise
DATE POSTED: 10-11-2001
COMMENTS: As a
memorial
to the second birthday of CW, I came up with this mural, which is a
parody
of something. The pic depicts me popping out of a birthday cake while
Spanky,
Soul Ripper, Oinkillune, and Stardancer
look on.


NAME: Poly Jima
DATE POSTED: 04-28-2001
COMMENTS: I began
trying my hand at 2D murals with this pic. This mural marks the
beginning
of an experimental project I began called Follycount, which will be a
series
of short animations about a Polycount-like 3D gaming artist community.
Follycount has gone through many changes so far, and may go through
many
more until I find a setup that I'm comfortable with. Poly Jima was
drawn
by hand on a 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of printing paper with a black
Faber-Castell
drawing pencil, scanned, re-sampled, and then colored in Paint
Shop Pro.
From left to right in the pic: Soul Ripper, J Petrol, and vogue13, each
may or may not be in whatever final version I come up with.


NAME: Primatives
DATE POSTED: 02-18-2001
COMMENTS: All right
you screwhead primitaves, listen up. This is my CANDYSTICK, my VWEP's
top
of the line. You can find this in the Quake2 section. That's right,
this
sweet baby was made on the Candybox
system, with Animation:
Master 2000.
Retails for around 68 kilobytes, and is 260 patches in weight. It's got
a hollow steel body, a black rubber grip, a pearl tip, an ethereal
power
source in a golden cage, and a hair trigger. YOU GOT THAT!!?


NAME: Hosts On Quake
DATE POSTED: 11-24-2000
COMMENTS: This mural
was originally designed as a reference for an assignment in my Drawing
Fundamentals class at Bergen
Community College. It shows Brandy and me
standing
on the Quake2
symbol. In the background is the now de-commisioned flag
of
a city state in the Hour of Need story I abandoned not long after this
pic was completed. As a small token of my generosity, I offered Brandy
that equal attention she'd been hounding me about since not getting her
way in the previous mural. The models and Quake symbol were made with Animation: Master 2000, while the background was
done with Paint
Shop Pro.


NAME: CW's First
Birthday
DATE POSTED: 10-02-2000
COMMENTS: Here's a
mural I did in celebration of CW's first birthday. The hardest part
with
getting Brandy to hold up the candle with me on it. She was adamently
against
the arrangement, going on and on about us both getting equal attention
and blah blah blah. But after a bit of 'convincing', she finally
stopped
her bitching got with the program. The models, candle, and floor were
made
with Animation: Master 2000. The background was
inspired by Disney's
'The
Weekenders', and made with Paint
Shop Pro.


NAME: Brandy And Her
Dad
DATE POSTED: 08-16-2000
COMMENTS: This is
the first mural to arrive at CW. It depicts King Creamy holding his
magic
wand, Candystick, while his adopted elven daughter Brandy Oteigh holds
her
shotgun, Mr. Bang. I used Animation:
Master 2000 to create this image.
