Whew! It's been a while. I've been working some long hours on something I'm excited about. Here is a sneak preview of my inking over someone else. I'll explain more later! cheers.

I just Watched the Watchmen, so I decided to do the new version of Silk Spectre kicking down her old costume. This is a little rougher because I tried to ink straight over some loose pencil layouts as opposed to finishing the pencils. Trying to work at getting quicker. Though unsuccessful in my mind, hopefully this will start clicking more.

About a 90 min sketch.

EDIT: This was a little too rough in places so I fixed the face a bit and added quick colors for fun!

Here is some digital changes which should give you an idea of where I'm going with this. This is also much different from how I set out to finish this. Their wasn't going to be any outlines or that designy background originally... we'll see how it comes out.

Cheers!

So this is part one of my process. My new process. Trying my hand at painting on a canvas with some acrylics I had lying around. Picture based off a photo. This is probably, and hopefully, about 25% of where this will end up being. I'll post some more as I go.

Wanted to be done with this today, as it's only 8"x10", but I haven't been able to work long sessions as of late. More soon.

Whew! Its been a WHILE. I'll probably chat about that later sometime, as for now, here is a dude who lost his clothes, then, after I made them up, found them. And that, was a run on sentence!

Well! It has been a while hasn't it? Long breaks deserve long posts so here we go!

First, URGENT business!

Tonight, November 9th, at Midnight, marks the premiere of the AdultSwim show The Xtacles! I was lucky enough to do a little spot illustration work for the second episode and think this show turned out great! The first two episodes will be debuted tonight so I would really appreciate all ya'lls staying up late and watching this show. Cartoon Network, Sunday night, midnight. If you liked Frisky Dingo, or Sealabs 2021, you will love this show. More on that at a later time!

Secondly,

If any of you picked up issue 53 of Invincible, you may have noticed that the pinup I posted earlier found its way into the book! I was super excited to see my work in probably my favorite comic. I've liked that series since first picking it up. So thanks to Kirkman and the whole crew for doing that for me! On a comical side note, I did think it was funny how the compositions were humorously similar when comparing Invincible on the cover and my pinup. To again clear things up, I was doing a recreation of Herp Trimpe's Incredible Hulk # 181.

Thirdly,

I was playing around with some concept work ideas and techniques. Trying to continue to develop some sense of how to color. So, for some reason this monster sketch came out.

Fourthly,
Since I last posted, we had an election thingy! This marked the first year I voted in the Presidential election and I felt it was a good year to start. Without getting too preachy, I was happy to see Senator Obama come out on top, though I do like Senator McCain. Though he may have his work cut out for himself, I wish President-elect Obama all the best. Good stuff. Nice to see people voting FOR a candidate as opposed to voting AGAINST another.

Well, I think that was long enough kids. I will be back again with more soon, I'll try to sit down and do more stuff that can be posted. So thanks for still stopping by! And if there are any misspellings or errors in all of this, I apologize, but I'm not going to reread it all and correct things. It's Late.

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
MRG
