Tuffyyyyy Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Green Lantern Sorry for the bad photo, I like to draw on 14x17 paper and I don't have a scanner big enough. My goodness...I want this! Looks terrific! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bane Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 All done My degenerative arthritis makes inking the numbers and smaller letters a real pain (literally). Now I need to finish the DD recreation, but 1 day off per week isn't helping. That is awesome. Can I ask what materials you used? I finished this Planet Comics recreation the other week using copics & faber-castell, but I am unhappy with the blacks of the copics as they tend to go shiny. On the other hand the faber-castell show up the line overrun which I hate. So is it materials or my technique It was done on bristol smooth paper.

All Be D'Oh! Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) This is my first commission. It's one thing to paint for your own pleasure, but it's a little nerve wracking when someone is paying you. In the end, though, I'm pleased with the results. All told, it was about 7 hours of work spread out over 8 days. It's oil on canvas, 12" x 16". Wow, that is excellent! I have a friend who is a working artist, and he will do commissioned portraits now and then. Apparently, there is also a healthy market for portraits of our canine and feline companions. Best to work from photographs, though, because they are not very good subjects for a sit-down. Edited January 30, 2013 by All Be D'Oh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use 11x17 comic boards (this one is turned over with the blue lines on the other side) with Faber-Castell Pitt pens and brush pens, with some old fashion brush and India ink here and there (I'm trying to go all brush, but that's gonna take some more practice). GREAT PC #33! I'm trying to decide what precode horror cover I want to try. Edited January 30, 2013 by Sulphur Server Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webhead1981 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Did this for a local store. nice work, i'm going to assume you did the scales big so that you didn't have to do so many Pretty much. It seems artist who draw the character either draw evey scale or the scales in patches so I went with all of them but a bigger design. If I could redo this, i'd probably do it differently.
