Color!

So I normally try to leave coloring to the professionals. But silly me, I've started to get a little itchy and wanted to broaden my range... ha. I colored up the pinup that I posted previously digitally. I spent a little too long on it, but I am happy with the results. Although, I will NEVER start another image without knowing what a character's color scheme will be. That Soviet Reaniman, had just about every possible combination of red, gold, and black you can imagine....


And then I got cocky. Confidence is a terrible thing. I tried to tackle some real life coloring techniques and I broke out the watercolors. I feel like they tore me a new one, buuuut, I will be playing around with it more until I get it right. This was my first attempt at painting in nearly three years, so not terrible, but not good. Hopefully I'll do some more soon. And hopefully, they will improve. Also, these look darker and less pink/purple in real life, but I refused to digitally retouch them.

thanks

Wow.. 100 posts... if those weren't spaced apart, that would be an impressive milestone. Didn't get a chance to do anything super special for the big hundred, but I hope this will do.

For everyone who checked this site out throughout the first 1oo, and came back, thank you and I appreciate it!

Work In Progress.
I'm working on tons of projects right now. One is a illustration for a gallery show. Just thought I'd throw up some of the pictures of my ever changing process. This is a bit more of a refined under-drawing sketch.


After that was somewhat fleshed out, I lightboxed it onto the final paper and started working away at it. Keep checking back for more as I finish this up.

Happy Holidays to those who celebrate them! Here's a Holiday commission of Spidey (with inspiration from AH). I'll be throwing up some more I've recently finished soon. Incidentally, I do take on commissions from time to time so if you would like to discuss one, drop me an email (listed on my profile).
If you don't want to talk to me through email but would like some work and live in the Orlando Area, I thought I'd announce that I will be attending Mega Convention in Orlando, March '08. Will be sharing a table with the charismatic Andy Black.
Thanks to all of you who have stopped by to take a peak at my work lately and I really appreciate the kind comments ya'll leave. Hope you have a great holiday season and end of the year!
