Based on a Bruce Timm sketch.
Thought I would try something different and give it the feel of vector art. Inked using Inkscape then Coloured in PSPX2 as ever. The background comprises many layers of grey shapes interspersed with 'mist' layers created using smudge and gaussian blurred gradients set to screen. Moon is done in similar fashion. |

I saw this base image of an underwear model and I thought he might make a good john stewart GL. And then I had the idea that for some reason he has ended up with two power rings (perhaps Kyle Rayner) was incapacitated) Anyways that's what I thought. This is another of me trying to keep my hand in until I get really inspired.
I should have waited before uploading this.. or I would have noticed I hadn't added my siggie thing... my bad!
Heh but i do get to add some taglines like they have on movie posters.. taken from comments on the previous submission ;) please feel free to vote again ;)

| Itsy Bitsy Spider Climbed Up The Water Spout [Original Art: John Romita] Colored
LocalHero Marvel Comics 2011/7/25 2:57

Well this started out as a simple John Romita (Snr) drawing of the amazing Spider-Man. The original drawing simply showed the character crouching and a shadow. After coloring the image, I decided that Spider-Man would be crawling through a dank tunnel or sewer. I created this background using a combination of layers tweaked using the perspective tools to create the illusion that the tunnel was narrowing behind our hero. After looking at the image for a few days like this, I decided to flip it vertically and add some additional elements - so now Spidey and crawling UP the wall of a down spout, towards the lip of a horizontal section upon which there is a small puddle of water - in my head this signifies that Hydro Man is up there waiting for him.
Btw if anyone has any tips or guides for coloring water please let me know here or over at my site: http://www.localhero.org.uk |

Well I found the inked drawing by Ian Churchill on a random Google search and thought it would be great to color. I then noticed that it was the cover to Weird World of Jack Staff #21 so I used the colored cover image as a guide/inspiration but gave it my own spin. So where the original cover has the hero on a roof with a cloudy daylight sky (complete with overlayed images of other cast members), I decided to make my version a night time piece. I think it turned out ok.

Well I was watching Wolverine: Origins again tonight and the liberties that were taken with Deadpool encouraged me to recreate one of my fave panels from the comic in penance for watching the movie. Here we see a sort of existential moment for Wade as he rediscovers his crush.
Lettering added in PSPX2, other than that everything else done in Sai. |

Well I am having a bit of a superhero weekend what with browsing Deviant and watching superhero movies on TV. I came across the pencils for this image via one of the groups of which I am a member and was so taken by them that I had to have a go at inking and coloring/shading them as a gift to a talented artist.
Hope I did the image justice!

| Mr & Mrs Outcast - Multitool & Prismatica

Was looking for something different to draw last weekend so went back into the Outcast Archived challenges again and pulled out this one http://outcaststudios.com/forums/index.php/topic/10885-weekend-staffers-challenge-mr-mrs-outcast/
The challenge: If Outcast Studios were to host a happily married super heroic tandem in action... what would they look like??? What powers would they have?
The only guideline here is that they're a male and female couple each bearing the Outcast Studios logo letters "OS" is some way or fashion. Showing their powers in use is a plus. Designing their super powered pet is entirely optional!
Seen Here
Mr Outcast = Multitool - with the ability to transform his body into artistic implements; pens, pencils, knives, brushes etc
Mrs Outcast = Prismatica - with the ability to generate large quantities of liquid of many colors, Prismatica is the perfect partner for Multitool |

Well i thought I would try my hand at a bit of 3d work in Daz Studio for a change - David 3, Freaky devil tail, kurt suit from Vadlor (my own texture on suit). The skin is a recolor of the base David skin with some adjustments.
Think it turned out ok for a first attempt. |

Well this is an oldie. I originally started coloring this way way WAY back in 2003 but was never happy with the results. I tried again towards the end of 2004 and again was less than satisfied with the progress. I decided to give it another go because I felt it could be a very dramatic image if colored properly. The original drawing by Kevin Newburn was titled Iron Sentinel, however I felt that having a corroded sentinel breaking open the wall/doors would be a nice look. Done in PSP X2 with a blend of textures and various overlay layers as well as some lighting effects (the eyes in particular). I almost submitted the image and then thought to add a couple of extra sets of eyes behind the main sentinel to indicate there are more behind him waiting to burst free from whatever prison that held them. Hope you like.
Btw Kev's work can now be found over at http://kevinnewburn.tumblr.com/ |

Another image that began in response to a sketch challenge over on deviantart. This was created using myself as a photo reference (part of the challenge).
The 60 minute (challenge deadline) version can be found here: http://eiledon.deviantart.com/art/DSCWC-27-08-Me-as-Rorschach-255290880
I decided to keep going after the 60 minutes and Finalised the coloring and recreated a background from the comic (smoggy sky). Smudged up the inkblot to make it look more like the movie and added lots of shading and highlights etc. Coat and hat now also have a texture as does the mask. |

Another piece I started a while back and never got round to finishing. I loved this greyscale drawing created by Mike Deodato of Ben and Franklin the moment I saw it. It really captures the family feeling that Fantastic Four comic exudes when well written. Anyway this was basically coloring over a greyscale image to get the basic blocking, and then creating additional multiple/overlay and screen and gradient fill layers to give the color the same depth that the greyscale image had. Once I was happy with the coloring I flattened the layers and then applied a brush strokes filter to give it a more messy look. Most of this was done way back in 2004 however I never posted it then. I had another look at it today and tidied up some of my masks and edging and tweaked some of the coloring as I wanted Ben to be more orange than the original stone color I had. Anyway hope you folks out there enjoy it. And thanks again to Mike for making a great image in the first place
Please leave any comments here or over at My Site. Thanks |

I was sitting at my pc the other night looking through some old inhumans scans and I fancied doing an homage to Kirby Era Black Bolt.
Did the main design from his suit in vectors, duplicated and gaussian blurred. then added many concentric hoops to simulate his scream. I didn't want to ape kirby exactly, so the background is my interpretation of the kirby dots. Enjoy.
I wasn't sure where to put this but I guess Comic Art is the best fit. |
