I agree with Robert, I'd love a mushroom garden! And Chomper. I love Chomper! Adorable render, fits well with the game, I think... and the ages of the junior artists ;-) |

Kind regards

I know your type: tall, dark and dead. You want to bite all the petals off my head.
Please, please, please make more of these, this is both unexpected, and amazing. |

I love that game! I had it on iPhone and on PC. I think you hit the nail on the head on its execution. Not one of my DB favorites or anything, but very cool! |

Hey this is a nice breakout piece for you. If you have any other games you like I'd love to see your take on them! |

This was a pleasant surprise to see today. I immediately called my boyfriend whom i recently got addicted to the game. He was thrilled too. I would love if you could do a dual screen! Please?! |

"The Ratings" |
Tue April 12, 2011 at 2:48 pm
|
I haven't rated this image, but the reason I don't care for it is the execution. While I have no idea what goes into making an image like this, it just LOOKS like fan art to me. It looks too simple and cartoon-y. Sorry... |

As someone who started EVE 3 years ago, Ryan - RUN AWAY!! My own artistic efforts have suffered horribly. It's rare to never that I work on a scene anymore =( Something I've been trying to get myself back into again.
So - yes, confirming your fear of being lost to MMORPGs is not unfounded. ;)
btw - your script still seems to never really log me in when I log in... |

I love this, but I wish there was a deeper focus so that more than just part of 1 pea shooter was in focus. |

I like the new version much better. Are you going to try some versions with zombies in them? I think that would be pretty cool. |

its heavy on the eyes but mainly becuase its not a "Ryan Bliss original". either way it looks nice but i wouldn't put it as my wallpaper...:( |

I like the colours more, but I'm not fond of how the pea shooters look more low-res now. |

"MUCH better!!" |

This looks so much better than the last version. The repeaters don't look washed out anymore, and actually have a shape!
The focus is still a little odd, in that very little is actually IN FOCUS (is there a way to make it a longer DOF? so that more is in focus?) |

"Bellsprout!" |
Fri April 8, 2011 at 11:33 pm
|
Yes, I'm a little older...I only found out about Plants vs Zombies from reading your comment. But when I first laid eyes on this, I thought: "Bellsprout from Pokémon!" The Nintendo-conditioned eye might also see Diglett in the potatoes, and Sunflora (a second-generation Pokémon) in the flowers. But oh, those Bellsprouts--! |

I love this. What strikes me as rather funny, though, is that the potatoes look strangely like McNuggets. Or maybe I'm just hungry. Not a complaint by any means, just an amusing observation. :) |

"Update - Two thumbs up!" |
Fri April 8, 2011 at 10:56 am
|
I love the update, the look of the repeaters is definitely better than the previous version, they now have the depth that I thought was missing from the initial one you posted here :) I think this will grace my desktop for quite a while (looking forward to a dual screen if you make one!) |

and was just playing it today for the first time in a long time. nice idea! :)
a little feedback - you might be able to do a better job with the sunflowers - the petals around the rim specifically... and the areas of focus look wrong, like the back of the head of the lead repeater is in focus, and then the lead walnut, but everything in-between is not... |

I really like the content. Nice to see very different inspirations for your work.
The older version on Facebook do look better on my screen in regards to the repeaters. Current version shows no appearance of 3 dimension or texture on them... looks over-contrasted. |

My SO will LOVE this! Looking forward to seeing future renditions.
FYI - the plant/nuts eyes need to be a bit bigger |

I wonder if the people giving this low ratings are put off by the subject matter or the execution (or both). |

"Dual/ Triple screen...?" |
Tue April 5, 2011 at 3:22 pm
|
I definitely like this one... I know it might be a few more days worth of work but if you do a dual or triple screen of this one, can there be zombies in it? (Meaning like in the game when they are walking to your house from the yard?) Even the silhouettes would be cool too.... |

"PvZ Easter Egg in WoW as well..." |

There is a wink at the plants vs zombies in WoW as well. A small quest strand provides you with a mini game very relatable to PvZ. After completing it, you recieve a Smiley Sunflower companion pet. =)
Great Work as usual! |

Interesting indeed and certainly unexpected. I love to read about how you get your kids involved in your work; always makes for interesting pieces. I've never played the game but I've read about it... now I'm a little more curious to play it... |

That should be head/leaves, not head-leaves. |

"focus" |
Mon April 4, 2011 at 3:54 pm
|
The focus seems to be on the head-leaves of the nearest repeater, and on the left eyeball of the wall. Everything else is blurry. The repeaters are very washed out. Sorry, Ryan...miss. Not a fan of this one. Liked the version posted on Facebook better. |

"Re:Repeaters" |
Mon April 4, 2011 at 11:20 am
|
Between that first version on Facebok and this one I have added Vue's "translucency" to the repeaters (in an effort for them to look more "plant-like" and less like plastic). I've done a number of renders with different lighting schemes and this is the one that looked best on my screen. On others I am see the the Repeaters looking a bit blown-out and this might be causing the "flatness". |
|

"Agree with Guru" |
Mon April 4, 2011 at 11:15 am
|
A great wallpaper, but I think I agree with Guru, the repeaters do look a little flat (they looked better on the initial render you had posted to your facebook back on March 4th, they had a bit more depth and texture to them which I liked). Either way, though, I'm looking forward to a dual screen render :) |

I love that game! I can't say I was expecting to see a Plants vs. Zombies wallpaper on your site this morning so kudos to you for keeping me on my toes. If I could suggest one thing, the repeaters look a little flat due to a lack of contrast in their shading. I don't know how easy that would be to take care of, but I would still like the wallpaper if you left it as is. |
