Author Topic: The Screamer (Left 4 Dead)  (Read 7615 times)



The Screamer is one of the zombies left out of Left 4 Dead, yes this is a simple tracing, but i was bored and had nothing to draw, but it took me like 1 - 3 hours to do, outlining the body took several time, but once i was done with that, picking the right color and using the fill can took time, making the hair was annoying cause they were sharp cause i started using the brush tool, which was a bad idea, to i used the line tool with a 2px line that would fix the sharp hair, then i had to make the belts, which felt like they took longer than what i was already through, i had to use a 2px line to make the outlines for the belts and the buckle on them, it took me long cause i can't work with 2px lines as good as i can with 3px lines, then i had to add the detail by using 1px outlines, thankfully, i already had it colored in, and i did the 1px lines on a different layer than the layer with the colors, in case i wanted to change the colors up some more, then i had to use the gradient tool on the layer with the colors to make it seem a bit more realistic, if you look at the legs, and the torso, you'll see they fade to a darker shade, you'll notice the gradient more on the Screamer's neck and shoes, it wasn't too hard choosing the gradient style for the feet, legs, body and head, positioning the gradient in a way that looked good wasn't too hard either, so, tell me what you think

In case you don't know what the Screamer was going to look like

yea, the other one looks shadowier (yey new word) and a little stringier. plus, the other seems to have more emotion into it. still looks good though, i wouldn't be able to do something like this.

I wanted to give it a better shadow likeness to it, but it seemed like too much work to do, yay laziness, i figured a gradient would do...

Oh nice work.
I like how you managed to get the gradient tool to work as a shading kind of tool, ive never seen that.

did you just make this by your own mind?or did you see a picture of some sort of the modeldo you know what the screamer even did?i do

They should have left this in Left 4 Dead. Why didn't they?

All he did was run away and hide so he could let out a scream and alert the horde, beta testers also said that he'd be hard to recognize from the regular zombies, dunno how, he's in a straitjacket, he was the only zombie that alerted the horde back in the beta, the Boomer had his puke attack, but not his feature where he explodes and you could get covered in his bile if you're too close

I was bored, i didn't intend it to be a masterpiece, i just wanted something to draw, even if it mean tracing something :o

I don't blame you though, it's pretty much worse than the actual thing

Nol, all he did was explode and you'd get hurt. After just deciding to lose the Screamer, they gave him his vomit and exploding with vile.



Trust me, I played commentary mode.

I've read up stuff about the Screamer and Boomer on the Left 4 Dead Wikia site, and just forgot what they said/how they said it ._.

In commentary it always sounds like he says gayben :D
