First he's using a pencil to sketch up the figure, then create the outline by using an ink pen. Then Applies shade and tone with to graphic markers. One light grey and one earth red. Search for TRIA or Pantone markersfor example.
I wish we could get a re-translation of this video, I know some Japanese and they're missing out on a lot of word details when Akira Yamaoka is talking about sounds.
I was a big fan of resident evil but when I go back to the old games I just can't get into it anymore, Silent Hill 2 though...I still get scared and caught up in James' story
Totally agree with yamaoka´s opnion about resident evil´s sound effects, they are justo too formal, silent hill´s sound effects are so strange and unhuman that really scares you...
But damn, I know I saw it somewhere but I can't confirm it. But the symbolism is good. The sad thing is I've never really played any Silent Hill game, but I use the games for inspirations on projects.
@Sceptorful Yeah, I undertand, I think I just felt a slight link to him because I've been through harsh favoritism with my military father. I mean, obviously I didn't kill the person who was pretty much my Josh, but she was dad's favorite and I got the shaft to most things. It's a sibling thing, I know, but it doesn't change the fact that it still hurts alot. So I may be bias about Homecoming just for those reasons.
I've noticed in the PS2 version of SH2 that Pyramid Head makes the same grunting noises as James does whenever he wields the Great Knife. (As in, the noise he makes is the exact same noise - it sounds like James.) I'm wondering if this was done on purpose.
i think it was a MIX CHARCOAL INX GRAPHITE pencil with colors......you can actually find it at artists shop...........but i ain't sure of it :D////it's just look like :D
You mean "Be my last" sounds like "Theme of Laura"? Lol (seeing as how Be My Last was composed after Theme of Laura). But you're right, they sound VERY similar. Opening of theme of Laura seems to follow the chord progression Cmaj, Dmaj6, Emin and Be My Last is (probably): Cmaj, Dmaj and Emin (all open string). So almost the same chords, but different voicing.
wait woah? pyramid head is the gem of silent hill 2! it's the original badass rape monster that chases you down and startles you randomly during the game. i expected them to give him a little bit more spotlight,or atleast call him by his name and not "triangular headed monster"
Piramyd head doesn't have any head beacuse when they were Creating him they just Destroyed it by putting the two parts of triangle together , you can even see that in one of Silent hill homecoming ending video.
@getthefuckaoutmyway Agreed, but the quality of the video I uploaded isn't much better than this. If re-uploaded, it wouldn't look a lot better. If you want, I can send you a link where you can download the full 32min video.
The only positive thing I can say about SH5 is, Alex's character was actually believable for me. He showed, anger/pain/anguish/sadness. Like other SH characters. That and there were a few plot twists I hadn't forseen. I liked that. And that only. The atmosphere is okay, but the other characters were bland and I hated the fact that Pyrmaid Head was there. He had no need to be in that game,really.
Didn't they just say in this documentary that Pyramid Head's actual head IS the triangular pyramid? His first design was scrapped because it was "just a man in a mask", so it doesn't exactly make sense then, why PH would be wearing a mask/helmet..
yeah alot of people didn't like that. But one thing I don't think is fare is that people knock SH5 ignoring the fact that it was(gameplay wise)the best Silent Hill sequel that came out after SH1. Everything from pacing, to puzzles(it actually returned to SH1's riddle and brain teasing puzzles rather than having to fetch a key for this door or whatever)to combat, to control was better than all the Silent Hills after the original. It was a great game, but not a great Silent Hill experience
4:13 god I just cracked up laughing at that guy. im sure hes a genius and a top bloke and all that but being a New Zealand site worker and a double hard bastard, I couldnt help but burst out laughing. No need to shoot me or nothing, im actually quite a nice guy, you just dont see that in my world.
@darhq I'm no expert on graphics , i only told you about fabulary meaning how Piramyd head is created , Silent hill is very scary game , i stopped at a hospital , Beacuse of Sunny days...
I always caution myself when I think of listening to the Silent Hill2 soundtrack. ...Yea and mostly go ahead and sit there listening to it for an hour and a half. Under the skin; tell me about it.
@Dk1for4all Speaking as someone who's done 3D modelling for years, unless Pyramid Head's pyramid head was ever meant to be removed, having the head modelled beneath it would take up memory pointlessley in-game. Something Team Team Silent, would have realised and changed, as they're perfectionists. Sadly, TS stopped making Silent Hill after 4. Therefore, the talentless company who made Homecoming WOULD have done everything half-arsed during development. Because they're idiots.
bloober team couldn’t even get remotely close to even the edge of greatness that team silent achieved. What an awful move on Konami’s part to give one of the task of remaking one of the most iconic games of all time to a dev team that has several cheesy horror games on their resume. I swear to god I could do a better job at remaking it. They need someone like a creative director who can guide the remake away from modern cheesy troupes and keep it deep and psychological as it was meant to be.
"... i want people feel something with my music"... Akira, you achieved that and more!!!...
Plays single note in Omnispehere...

Ito's Pyramid Head and Yamaoka's Theme of Laura, the two most iconic works in the Silent Hill universe.
in the pop culture and gaming universe
well yeah, exactly what he said in the first place? why would it be big in say the movie industry or theater industry, makes no sense.@@jennyb1537
Akira you are my hero!
He's legend
Akira Yamaoka is a friggin genious. I dig his music.
7:47 Silence is sometimes deafening.
i think its safe to say that the entire original team silent were the best at what they did,its just too bad they dont make them anymore :'(
Akira is awesome. He did a magnificent job with this game . One of my favorites
I'm glad the legend Akira Yamaoka is composing again for the remake
Akira yamaoka is in my top 5 video game composers - and trust me.. that list is loooooong
Akira has the best music I have ever heard in a game. The music is one of the most important things that makes this game great.
I always feel something when I listen to Theme of Laura. it makes me feel sad yet happy at the same time
Akira’s guitar style is so neat.
Kinda reminds me of Robert Fripp.
Also, his sfx stuff is crazy.
And what an artist Ito is!
I like Akira's style, he is awesome :)
Akira Yamaoka!
FRANCIS BACON! Ooo this game just gives me everything I appreciate! Art within art and psychology at it's ultimate!
Yes, i agree. It is a shame we do not get games from this team anymore.
First he's using a pencil to sketch up the figure, then create the outline by using an ink pen. Then Applies shade and tone with to graphic markers. One light grey and one earth red. Search for TRIA or Pantone markersfor example.
Rewatching this video again.
Yamaoka is a genius!
For the PH sketch he used a mechanical pencil (sketch), Pentel XFL fude pen (ink), Copic sketch (for shading) and then red pencil.
i love this game dude
I wish we could get a re-translation of this video, I know some Japanese and they're missing out on a lot of word details when Akira Yamaoka is talking about sounds.
silent hill 2 is my all time favorite silent hill.
Those guys are The Pillows. Them and Akira are every different...
Wow! Those switches actualy did move! In
5:57
Yeah, this is a feature in most digital consoles, these are automated motorized faders. Pretty Cool!
the whole team are amazing =D
It looks like all the artists were really young.
I was a big fan of resident evil but when I go back to the old games I just can't get into it anymore, Silent Hill 2 though...I still get scared and caught up in James' story
too amazing :-) :-)
they are too talented :-)
@orgad His name is Red Triangle Thing. Pyramid Head is the American Version. In some code is is also called Red Triangle Thing.
too bad I cant read subtitles in 144p....but I love the hell out of those guys and Silent Hill
Totally agree with yamaoka´s opnion about resident evil´s sound effects, they are justo too formal, silent hill´s sound effects are so strange and unhuman that really scares you...
5:56 the plastic controls you turn on the big effects unit moved them-self, this shits haunted
He is. The best there ever was.
The subtitles are near impossible to read due to data compression.
But damn, I know I saw it somewhere but I can't confirm it. But the symbolism is good. The sad thing is I've never really played any Silent Hill game, but I use the games for inspirations on projects.
yamaoka sounds like a calm japanese warlord
@Sceptorful Yeah, I undertand, I think I just felt a slight link to him because I've been through harsh favoritism with my military father. I mean, obviously I didn't kill the person who was pretty much my Josh, but she was dad's favorite and I got the shaft to most things. It's a sibling thing, I know, but it doesn't change the fact that it still hurts alot. So I may be bias about Homecoming just for those reasons.
Really? That's awesome, I love the symbolism in SH2.
oh yeah, those sounds did suprise me, especially whenthe freaking lying figures rolle out from under the cars, nearly shat myself
3 days to compose theme of laura?!?!?!?! Shit thats fast
Silent Hill and Resident Evil that like two big family with different thing.
This is true silent hill. I won't ever even play homecoming. That's not silent hill as far as i'm concerned.
legends
I've noticed in the PS2 version of SH2 that Pyramid Head makes the same grunting noises as James does whenever he wields the Great Knife. (As in, the noise he makes is the exact same noise - it sounds like James.) I'm wondering if this was done on purpose.

love his suff
All these 3 people need pats on the back!
the guitar melody sounds exactly like utada hikaru's "be my last", even the strumming pattern ^___^
agreed
Yeah
You mean "Be my last" sounds like "Theme of Laura"? Lol (seeing as how Be My Last was composed after Theme of Laura).
But you're right, they sound VERY similar. Opening of theme of Laura seems to follow the chord progression Cmaj, Dmaj6, Emin and Be My Last is (probably): Cmaj, Dmaj and Emin (all open string). So almost the same chords, but different voicing.
yamaoka its my musical of game hero!!
Ahhhh
look at 5:59, those knobs were moving on their own.
wait woah? pyramid head is the gem of silent hill 2! it's the original badass rape monster that chases you down and startles you randomly during the game. i expected them to give him a little bit more spotlight,or atleast call him by his name and not "triangular headed monster"
Amazing...
@Moosenogger According to the developers, Pyramid Head would look like James if its mask was taken off.
Piramyd head doesn't have any head beacuse when they were Creating him they just Destroyed it by putting the two parts of triangle together , you can even see that in one of Silent hill homecoming ending video.
Akira Yamaoka Rocks! I love his work!
I knew it japanese crazy ideas you got for halloween
you have very very RIGHTTTTTTTTTTT serenasab
@slovan It takes a genius to make a game like this you have to be creative and original.
those are awesome pants
Bro looks like Mike Shinoda
@serenasab Agreed, but still they're both great franchises... at least, were great!
akira te amo
really curious about the name of the soundtrack starts at 2:35 ?
thanks
Akira Yamaoka - True
do u know rain. akira yamaoka looks like rain. a korean superstar.
I like Silent Hill: Origins and 4.
Homecoming is a different story.
Oh ya! How strange! Maybe its some sort of program that makes those switches move.
Clever switches XD
What software are they using to show the characters actions?
@getthefuckaoutmyway Agreed, but the quality of the video I uploaded isn't much better than this. If re-uploaded, it wouldn't look a lot better. If you want, I can send you a link where you can download the full 32min video.
Hahaha resident evil sounds are formal, they got OWNED:)
TEH GAME RULZ!To bad the video is somewhat distorted/pixeled.
Agreed, Silent hill 2 is the best. The series went downhill after it. It feels the developers didn't put as much time and detail into the other games.
What? I couldn't understand the pyramid head part :( the letters are all pixeled X_X...can someone help?
The only positive thing I can say about SH5 is, Alex's character was actually believable for me. He showed, anger/pain/anguish/sadness. Like other SH characters. That and there were a few plot twists I hadn't forseen. I liked that. And that only.

yamaoka burned resident evil about the music i clap for him

Hey any fellow artists out there does anyone know what kind of pen Masahiro uses at 3:00? Looks like a great tool for shading. Thanks!
TheStreetEffect1 copic markers
TheStreetEffect1 there are also copic pens. but your comment is 4 years old so youve probably discovered these by now. lol
"pretty formal" resident evil sounds lol UH OH HE'S CALLIN THEM OUT!
11 years ago
totally agree, silent hill origins wasnt bad considering it wasnt made by team silent, but SH 5 was sooo different from a SH game, i hated that fact
i agree
Akira is my fav music composer
Anyone know where part 4/4 is please?
what is that last word at 1:33?

my name is rain :D
lol i think its sommert abit more then that ;)
@sage43110 Me like games, me like games very much.
Yamaoka is creepy. He looks like a teacher who would beat you up in school. 😅
@xbreakthehabitx Straightjacket
yea but origins is pretty scary too eventhough it was made by americans, not bad.
but SH 5 starting to lack of it.
homecoming should be better gameplay wise, but not in terms of presentation.
