Great job. 

It doesn't look like a very interesting pose to me. He's just standing there grimacing (at... the floor?) and there really are more interesting things that a monster with a grenade launcher and chainsaw could be doing. :)

The painting is ok, although lighting is a bit bland. The toenails look a bit cartoony outlined like that, and the top of his (it's?) shoulders makes a very flat line. Maybe the silhouette could be better there? Anyway, the weakest point of the whole thing is definitely the grenade launcher, which doesn't look quite right in terms of lighting or perspective. The rest is pretty cool.

My favourite bits are the teeth and the splatters on the 'saw. Nice. Oh, and his beady eyes. 

yes, my main mistake was just copying the ogre in his idle post, where just sort of stands there contemplating the universe while his face is frozen in this sort of growl/grimace. While it's how he looks in game, it's not a very good pose for a painting.

Anyway, I'll try to finish the details on this one, and hopefully next time I'll get the composition/pose sorted before i start painting details. 

but i always imagined the ogres had hair. 

... shamblers sure,
but OGRES? hair? whut? well maybe a few wispy ones... 

Oh kickass, you! Are we to expect a whole series of Quake portraits, or is this what you've done lately in your spare time? In any case, keep up the good work -- and get that guy in a suitably molded-brick dungeon or something =D 

The chainsaw blade is slightly out of perspective but I like your ogre overall (overalls?) :)

Hopefully, he is the first piece of concept art created for the next installment of Quake which will be a true sequel to the original ;) 

I have the following text blocks for ~900 times:

<td class="filelisting"> <a href="wip/a2d2.html"> a2d2 - </a></td>
<td class="filelisting"> <a href="filebase/.zip"> DL</a></td>

(minus the spaces before each <a and after the following ">, func replaces it with ... otherwise)

It would be awesome if someone had an "scripted" way to get (in this example:) a2d2 and copy it into filebase/.zip so I get filebase/a2d2.zip. The result would look like:

<td class="filelisting"> <a href="wip/a2d2.html"> a2d2 - </a></td>
<td class="filelisting"> <a href="filebase/a2d2.zip" > DL</a></td>

There are about 900 places in one textfile where this would need to be done, with different maps of course, for example filebase/sm112_pack.zip.

Linux or Windows does not matter. I can install software too (got Python already). 

but i always imagined the ogres had hair.

A buzzstyle 'haircut you could set your watch too' like Johnny Unitas because the Ogre means business.

you could do that with query-replace-regexp in emacs. upload the file or email it to me and i can do it for you if you like. 

great picture!
no comments. 

You can do that with PHP, arrays and delimiters. Just dump all your map names in a text file, comma,seperated,like,this and the script can spit 'em out.

But you're probably using a database and I couldn't help you there. 

mwh already worked as a wizard for me. Thanks. :) 

has almost no abdomen? Well OK, it's a cartoony ogre (its legs are too short etc), but you'd imagine him to at least have some balls?

:=) 

Unitas?

For a high detail model, Unitas' mug would be perfect. Hey, Ogre is no pretty boy. 

...when I think of the Quake Guy, he's all "sir, yes sir!" in episode one and ends up like Ash in Army of Darkness by the end of episode four.

I'm mostly happy with this, i guess. The only break from accuracy is the fact that he's holding the chainsaw instead of having it surgically attached.

That's cool. If you took a sort of average of everyone's ideas about the character, you'd have a pretty good comic book. 

how come this reminds me of ikbase? 

Now someone make a model after this image. 

Just as soon as I get some free time, I'll have a crack at an ogre like that, it's an excellent picture. 

I like how you even captured the diamond-shaped head. Good job. 

near the back is the occiput.

our ogre friends have large occiputs, not unlike dogs.
