I'll throw the final version up on Monday n
ight when its finished. I'm trying to work on my process for bringing an image from the concept stage in my head (that's where baby concepts come from) to finished inks on paper (that's where grown-up concepts live), with bells and whistles, in as fast a time as possible. It's slow going since a Sunday night is really the only time I get to try this stuff out, but I'm sure I'll figure something out eventually.
(finished image + bells + whistles) - (time) = Secret Comic Book Artist Process
Eric Canete (who blew me away when I first saw his art on Cybernary 2.0) has a great routine going over on his blog where he'll do his best in 90 minutes and call it a day after that (of course a background in animation helps. You animators ).
Almost forgot. We're gonna go with a 'Spiderman Villains' theme this week. Carey, if you please, can you get the ball rolling with Venom for no later that Wednesday morning :)
See you again soon.
... (time passes) ...
And here's the final version.
nice man
ReplyDeletenice hair dryer dude.. i know all your tricks!!
ReplyDeleteCheers Kevin, lets see how the finished inks look.
ReplyDeleteCiara: ha ha! Nope, I'm trying a new approach, come round later and have a look
hey man this is sweet, i love the half tone pattern as the texture.
ReplyDeleteThe rendering of shadow, especially on the leg is awesome.
I do have one very very minor crit. Did you use the drop shadow option?, cause the character seems to float above the page rather than actually interact.
Anyway top marks
Thanks Rob. If that's your only crit I must be doin ok (don't mention the back leg :) ). Yeah, after scanning it I wanted to add more weight to the right-hand side so I added a pure black laywer. I didn't bother blending them in because if you squint your eyes and shake your head it looks ok!
ReplyDeletesurfer dude...........
ReplyDeleteWhere's his guitar?
ReplyDeleteThis is really good! kudos sir
ReplyDeleteCiara, actually I'd like to try draw a surfing picture at some stage.
ReplyDeleteYeah Cormac, feel bad about leaving that out. I'll just have to do another one, with guitar this time.
Thanks Stephen, I'm lovin' the idea of sci-fi at the moment. (Saw 'Moon' yesterday, really enjoyed it).
