"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.
