Description I'm sorry, there's not going to be a long description on this right now. I'll update it soon and add in some details on how it was done and so forth. For now...

Respect: *diablo2003 - Mark Brooks is a truly awesome comic artist and it was really a pleasure to work on this. It should have been for his current competition but ya' know life in general kept me from finishing on time. I thought I'd upload it anyway so you guys can see one thing I've been working on and maybe get some feedback. I'm glad to see all of the great entries that did make it in and I wish everyone good luck. :]

Thanks to Mark for holding the competition and letting us use his lines.

Lines:
Colours:



P.s. Thanks Sira for that keyboard shortcut! Somehow it even came in handy in this. XD

I am too late for entry to the contest. It was closed three days ago. I appreciate it though. I'm just showing it to get some reactions to it because it involved a lot and I'm interesting in seeing what people notice... what they like and dislike about how my style works here. This is kind of new for me. Ordinarily, I would never leave my own lineart. So.. the pictures I've done for Ed and now Mark are trying to move toward something more recognizably comic. And, um, possibly potentially less offensive to pencilers I might work with. :]

On the other hand... I am not trying to become the status quo either so who knows where I'll end up with this.

Thanks for the comment Alan!

you're welcome my friend! though i'm not all that familiar with current trends in comic coloring this style definitely strikes me as very unique! i would think it should be recieved quite well!

I only just finished it to a point where it was respectable to submit. It didn't make the deadline for the contest so no big deal. It was fun to do when I had a little time to work on it. Thanks for checking it out and leaving a nice comment. :]

woah, reversed image... also: glowy! the effect works really well in the fire/ energy and on metal! great job!

crimsonmegatron In reply to MrMunkeepants [2006-05-13 22:14:56 +0000 UTC]

To my eye... the composition works better mirrored. Plus, it shows off the fact that Mark didn't make the common mistakes of balance that reversing the image would reveal.
Thanks for the compliment on the effects. I wasn't sure they were really working. XD

The treatment on the colors is simply so much different than the usual stuff I've seen done to this image.

Bravo.

crimsonmegatron In reply to DaggerPoint [2006-05-13 22:27:28 +0000 UTC]

Do you think it looks shadowy/stormy... or just muddy? My g'damn eyesight is getting worse. I can't even tell anymore where colours bleed together sometimes. Is it balanced? I realize it looks kind of mediocre against the gray-green-dA background... Oh well, sometimes you have to call it done and let it be what it is. Maybe I'll try it again sometime.

Thanks J. XD

Art is never finished, only abandoned.
