HOT DAMN THAT'S A FINE LOOKING COMIC PANEL/PINUP/PAGE/COMMISSION?!

I DON'T CARE BEST THING EVER!

Awesome. I don't recognize the villain, but I haven't read X-men in a bit.

Thanks guys! This is a cover sample for my pencil portfolio this year.



Also, the villain is Adi Granov's Fin Fang Foom from the comic miniseries Iron Man: Viva Las Vegas.

Ah! FOr some reason, it was looking a little like Dragon Man to me.

Now that you mention it, I can see that as well. Maybe Dragon Man was Adi Granov's influence. Interesting.

Just realized that I haven't posted anything in a bit. Most of the stuff that I'm doing can't be shown, which sucks. Here's a part of a little story I was doing. It was a warm up for some of the other stuff I'm doing.

I like the clean lines. The texture creates by the line of the damaged background kind of paint a target on the page which attract the eye. Woukd love to see this colored.

Great rendering and amazing background. O love this page. The only thing that really jumped at me is a feeling that the rubble under wolverine wasn't on the same level as the buildings and Fing Fang Foom.
Still amazing.

You are right. They are not on the same level as the buildings. In the story, Fin Fang Foom makes a hole in the street...I know, a cover idea that ACTUALLY has some of the story plots in it? So we are actually looking at them from inside a hole in the street. I "hinted" at street level with the lines at FFF's right forearm and buttocks. I didnt want to get real detailed because its in the smoke. But it would be wise for me to note something like that for a colorist if this were actually going to print. Good eye.

Here's a clean, inked version of Spider-Man for a marker render test ...



... and here's the test render. There's a bit of muddiness to the scan that I couldn't fix for some reason. The area on his chest and his eyepieces aren't that dark and smear-y on the original piece.



I'm actually very displeased with this scan, because the actual piece looks much smoother and has better color balance. I'll try to do another scan later. :/

EDIT: I've uploaded the new scan.

[J.M. Hunter]

Man! I'm wondering if this isn't the best piece you've ever done! This is awesome dude!

[Greg]

Looks damn good, man!

[shannonh]

Dropped some color on it....

[shannonh]

Did some tweakin' on the colors...






And some day dreamin'....
