I don't know if a vintage comic would have such vibrant, glowing colors on Hellboy's guantlet, but that said, you hit a home run on this. All the rest of the colors have that vintage feel to them...and this so looks like a real comic. The weathering. The "graffiti." Man...this has such a delicious flavor to it. Stellar work!
Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much! And you're right, that glow is out of place, but i thought it looked cool so I left it in

There's a lot to be said about leaving it the way you like! That's one of the main perks of being the actual artist! I see you have a "sub-gallery" of vintage covers. They absolutley rock!

great use of typography. i really like the font you used for "more" and "featuring". can you tell me the name of this font plz?

Hmm off the top of my head i'm not sure and the file is on a different computer. I'd check one of the free font sites and search for script fonts...i'm sure that's where i got it. If i get a chance to locate the original file i'll let you know!

OK, these are just killin' me (but in a good way, LOL) there just way too cool. but I have to ask, do you print the picture and make it "vintage" or is it made to look "vintage" on the computer? As a comic collector, this raises some interesting topics of conversation...

Thanks so much!
I take old worn covers from my personal collection, scan them into photoshop and make them fit the piece i'm working on.

Bloody fantastic job with the covers. I love the random little pen doodles that make it feel like someone's well loved (and mutilated) comic book.

This is so badass that I can't seem to express myself intelligently in words. All I can really say is "Amazing! I love it!"
Here, have an emoticon instead

i'm loving the halftone/moray pattern. it works so well with the textures. i should try that..

Thanks man! I'd love to see what you could do with it.

This is awesome. Did you create the cover from an image or was it all hand done? My father in law owns a comic store and I swear if he sold this, he'd be a rich man...
Great job. Especially with the look and feel of it.
I like the pen scribbles.
Blessings,

Brilliantly done.
Any chance of a tutorial some time in the near future on just how you make these pictures look so vintage comic cool?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
When i get the time, i might try and write one up. I've never done a tutorial before so i'll have to find some tips about doing them.
And thanks!

I never thought about it before, but there must be a tutorial about doing a tutorial on dA somewhere...
