Description
A very fun cover series. I was given the SEAL frogman cover, but they were all cool ideas IMO. Take Americans doing their jobs and put them in Captain America inspired outfits or color schemes.This cover was used for Uncanny X Force #12 I believe.
Done with my usual microns on smooth bristol board.

Excellent job. Just love your style. The details, everything.
PS.: This type of military dive equipment does not realese bubbles.

Thanks. The bubbles are just a cheat to sell that these guys are underwater.

I like the detail especially the hatching and shadows. Im also aspiring to be a great inker. I dont suppose there's a variant cover for this without colors? I want to get my hands on one.

Missed this the first go round, impressive line work and detail. The rendering is really well suited and doesnt overpower the image. Curious how the colors came out--Marvel has a tendency to color dark...wonder if your detail was lost?

Thanks. This was actually colored very well. I can't remember the colorist, but I was happy with it and that's usually not the case.

And ~NotAnselAdams and I thought we came up with "SCUBA Cap " all on our own.
Super awesome magic M-4! Now works underwater!

The pen I use the most is .005 that's the smallest tip Micron makes. Also use the 01 a lot too.

with whats going on in that book, this is a surprising cover... cool to see they got you on the job!

Thanks. The cover wasn't for any specific book. They just do a series of covers and randomly choose which cover goes where.

I love the crusty growth detail on the metal!
one little technical detail you may or may not want to use later: SEALs use rebreathers, which don't emit bubbles (it doesn't give their position away)... a looong time ago, Travis Charest drew (bad-ass of course) an Image comic where he had special ops divers blowing bubbles left and right (I remember it was in a calm pool of water and the enemy was right on top of them)... I don't know if he paid attention to my comment (mail, haha)... but anyway maybe you could use it. I know sometimes artists go ape-shit hearing about little technical details and errors, but the purpose of comments like this I bet is not to knock the artist or his/her art, but to help... I think this particular detail makes it even more challenging to draw a piece like this one, where the artist has to convey that the subjects are underwater, and you can't use the obvious bubbles off their breathing apparatus... but it'd definitely give the art a little extra 'oomph'

Thanks for the post. I yeah I was aware of that. Its one of those comic cheats. I knew the bubbles didn't belong, but it really helps sell the underwater feel and give the piece some movement.

man i wish i had this kind of inking skills. Don't know if it was asked before but could you tell what graduations you use? Amazing work...oh and don't think i don't like the drawing too. That's amazing too

Thanks. I'm not sure what your asking though. I'd be happy to answer, but need elaboration.

Really painstaking work, you must be very patient jajaja. Great work, congrats.

Love the comp and design there, but can any of those guns actually shoot underwater?

Really love the detail added to this piece! Great sense of subtle movement and weightlessness!
