The Spaceway Express To Hell [Prev | Next]

Hell is real and it's here – has always been here – just beneath the skin waiting for the right injection to unlock it –

– the pain tears across his back – the grater in her hands – ripping the skin to ribbons –

– they spool away like spaghetti – impossibly long – curling and twining – limp pallid ropes of skin –

– he screams – but there's something in his throat – a sticks-and-spikes thing – like dry brush – a bird's nest –

– devils are real and she is one – her touch molten – her claws slipping under his skin – under his ribs – clawing at his lungs –

– the grater never stops – shredding him inch by spaghetti inch –

– he pulls and pulls against the barbed irons that hold him –

– he can't tell if he's screaming or choking on the sticks in his throat – the sound won't leave him alone –

– it rips and tears – circles and lines and – where the skin is gone he feels it vibrate across the strings of his muscles – a deranged violin screech –

– the sound is inside his ears – grating his eardrums to pieces –

–like her claws are tearing him to pieces –

– he sees inside his own back – red muscle and – white bone – and – thick black grease – charcoal muck like a barbecue – 

– is he burning? 

– he must – he must be burning – nothing else could hurt so much as –

– scraping tearing ripping through skin –

– so many devils – their coveralls smoking – pinning his wrists and knees and hips and elbows with clawed burning hands –

– his face is in the pile of coiled tangled spaghetti skin – soft and moist and threatening to get in his – mouth – his nose –

– still tearing – still burning –

– he can't breathe – he can't breathe –

– the unholy screeching won't stop –

– she smiles down at him and her mouth is – a slash in the world – a white line stretching to – to –

– agony – tearing – 

– her hands – the grater – on his stomach now – worse – somehow worse than back it keeps getting worse how can it still get worse –

– blood between her fingers as the thing in her hand bites deeper –

– deeper –

– falling and the world tastes of ash but – he can't fall away from her she's – always – always there –

– ripping the skin away in writhing spaghetti worms – exposing his ribcage – stark white with black ooze between –

– he's screaming – screaming despite the barbed wire in his throat –

– she's laughing –

– her throat is a black hole and he's falling –

– falling but never escaping – swallowed but still here – still screaming –

– still chewed to threads – body unravelling – agonised strings of muscle and sinew and skin –

– stretching to the infinite corners of the room –

– and still the pain –

– there's nothing left of him but string and still it doesn't end –

– it doesn't end –

– it doesn't end –

Game Narrative - Model making Zbrush Research

So I have decided to do some research and attempt to create my model within Zbrush and have decided to take some courses on Linkin Learning in order to get a good idea of how to model while I have little experience with Zbrush mainly knowing the tools and navagate and I have never actually attempted to model in it. Here are the 3 courses I have decided to watch and attempt to make my model along side with.

ZBrush 2018 Essential Training - Ryan Kittleson

ZBrush: Sculpting Portraits - Ryan Kittleson

Sculpting a Creature with ZBrush and Photoshop - Rayce Bird

I am going to attempt to make my game model in Zbrush though due to time and my experience with Zbrush if I feel like the process is taking to long then I will build my model in Maya and then move into Zbrush to add detail possiable as I would like to have a high quality model for my game.

Turning Yourself into a Zombie in Photoshop

Title: Turning Yourself into a Zombie in Photoshop ID: 5382d0a115441792e201929aa98f41d2 Original Page: Turning Yourself into a Zombie in Photoshop Released: 3/17/2016 Duration: 1h 43m Author: Rayce Bird Level: Intermediate Category: Design Subject Tags: Design Techniques Design Illustration Software Tags: Photoshop Description: Zombies are the most clichéd monsters on the planet, but somehow we still love the idea of being chased by the undead. With Adobe Photoshop, it’s easy to turn photos of friends, family, or yourself into a zombie nightmare come true.

Creature creator Rayce Bird, the winner of Face Off, shows how to take a normal portrait and turn it into a hideously frightening zombie with Photoshop. He starts at the very beginning: finding the right image to zombify. He then shifts to “preparing the canvas,” where he makes some initial adjustments to get the image going in the right scary direction. From there, it’s all about the details, including teeth, veins, bone, blood, color correction, and the proper lighting. In the end, members will have a perfectly horrific zombie version of themselves.

Topics include:

Finding the right reference images Making anatomy changes with the Liquify tool Creating custom texture brushes Adding zombie features: bone, blood, and gore Adding color Adjusting the lighting

Anybody watch Face Off?

I don't, but apparently the winner of the show graduated from my degree program a year or two ago, which is still very much on the downlow as far as great virtual design degree programs.
