"Keith Thompson possesses the unparalleled
eye of a true creator and the
craftsmanship of a veteran far beyond his years. The scope
of his vision pays tribute in equal parts to function and
fantasy, the beautiful and thegrotesque, while the myriad
detail and tangible texture of his work communicates sublimely
in a fashion that, in truth, exceeds imagination."

In this DVD Keith Thompson reveals
his process for taking a zombie creature concept from a
thumbnail
sketch to the finished drawing. Keith demonstrates each step,
from idea development and creating the initial drawing using
traditional media to scanning the drawing into the computer
and then applying colored glazes in Adobe Photoshop®.
Keith also explains how to maintain the essential gesture
and feel of the thumbnail all the way through to the final
concept art. The entire traditional media to digital process
is also applied to a collection of extra views of the character.
Keith explains how these alternate angles and a set of
orthographic
rotations are designed to help the 3D modeler.
Over 2 1/2 hours of lecture.
