Description Oh, you poor, bitter King of Atlantis. Always with the world domination.

So, this was something new for me. Well, not entirely, but a different approach. I saw this piece in 's gallery and thought it would be a lot of fun to color. And, as my gallery can attest, I was a bit lost on how to go about coloring it, since I've acquired a few different techniques. Then, I came across a painting tutorial by and the proverbial "Aha!" moment came to me.

I thought it was fitting since, about 5 years ago, it was Julie's tutorial on cel shading that got me interested in digital art in the first place. I remember the first piece I colored, an image of The Joker by Casey Jones (I might still have it...)

Okay, enough reminiscing, on to the matter at hand: the myriad of shit wrong with this piece. Yeah, I know it's there, and I never liked it when people belittled their own work, so I'll just say, it was something new that I'm working the kinks out of. And to that end, please be gentle

Great stuff. It looks as though he is rising from the murky depths. I’m a bit of a Sub-Mariner fan myself. He’s tough, mean, arrogant, and cool. And he’s alotta fun to draw. I wish that marvel would take the time to write better stories for him though.

Yeah, I don't know all that much about him othan than he's an ornery cuss! But, that was the idea, to have him emerging from the depths of Atlantis. Glad you liked it!!

Who do you think would win in a three way fight between Aquaman, Namor & Mermaid man?

StephenSchaffer In reply to thephatomfreak [2007-08-22 17:43:36 +0000 UTC]

Well, if by Mermaid Man you mean the geezer from Spongebob, even in his prime he wouldn't be able to stop either Aquaman or Namor. I've had this debate a thousand times and (like I stated earlier) I just don't see Aquaman being able to stop Namor. Because even if they were evenly matched, Namor would win because he would fight dirty. Plus, Namor has routinely taken on the Fantastic Four and that would be like Aquaman taking on, and beating in some cases, and four members of the JLA or JSA. Even four of the most low-rent superheroes would probably be too much for Aquaman. Don't get me wrong, Aquaman is badass in his own degree... but he'll be served up with a side of wasabi and chopsticks if he goes up against Namor.

Awesome colouring my friend! wooweeW!

uh... only question is why you chop of his left hand? he is NOT aquaman you know...lol...

StephenSchaffer In reply to HungryRiku [2007-08-22 15:14:38 +0000 UTC]

Well... and as much as I believe everyone one at DC would kick the shit out of the Marvel counterpart, Namor would beat Aquaman silly... that is due to my inability to give form to a formless object. If you look at the pencil drawing, the hand is just a shape, so no just coloring in the lines But thanks for the continued support, it means a lot

HungryRiku In reply to StephenSchaffer [2007-08-22 17:16:24 +0000 UTC]

I know, but cant you do something without totaly blacking out the hand? with the black hand and the black background he kinda looks handless.

Yeah! Namor kick ass, but Dc and Marvel just cant get their sea kings right...

On my monitor it isn't so black... I might change it if I feel up to it... Thanks.
