ADAMANTIUM Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 See me I start out one way and never finish. It started out to be a sweater shirt, turned into boots like KiSss, and ended up with a one sided flapper shirt with some sewn spandex!

Ever try pastels? You can actually smooth them out with a brush and turpentine and it is like oil paint except dries a lot faster.

the blob Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 I have a question, looking at my 25 jokers up there, do folks think the white backgrounds on some are ok or should I re-work them to have background colors or something like on some of them? I am a little torn and it is always a weird one going back to a painting 3 years later. My goal all along was to mount these on a larger backing and have a really big painting, so from that perspective it feels like a lot of white.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought this place was full of aspiring artists, not just 9.8 chasers? Anyway, I painted a bit while incapacitated with my achilles near the beach, here are few. The second one was painted the long way, but I kind of like it this way with the figure sort of laying down.

CJ Design Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 On 9/13/2023 at 10:22 AM, Crimebuster said: Almost 5 years after I started working on my first comic, I'm super excited to say that the first trade collection of my series The Crimebusters is now live on Kickstarter. It collects The Crimebusters #1-5 in one volume, and I've also had the whole series colored -- issues #1-3 were originally in black and white -- so it's a new experience for readers. Besides writing the comic, I also drew the first four issues and still do some of the variant covers each issue. The cover for the regular version of the TPB is the cover I did for issue #2, but with new trade dress:  The series, which is my ode to classic mystery adventure series like The Three Investigators and Scooby-Doo, also continues the continuity from the Crimebuster strip in the Golden Age series Boy Comics. So every issue I had a Boy Comics variant cover that continues the numbering. Here's the Boy Comics variant for the trade, which is an homage to Jim Steranko's classic Captain America poster:  Thanks to everyone who has supported me here on the forums, I really appreciate it very much! Here's the link again for the Kickstarter if anyone is interested: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/thecrimebusters/crimebusters-vol-1/ Great work!

I started painting again late 2020 because I was trapped in the house. This summer i went back because I was getting planted outside by my wife unable to move much while she enjoyed her summer at the beach, pool, etc. with my kid. I was sitting in the outdoor lounge of our beach club and needed something to do. I start getting sleepy after reading 5 pages of a book apparently.

I didn't go three years in between anything "artistic" (not saying you are doodling, that Red Sonja could be a pinup in Savage Sword), just getting the paints out is more of a project for me. I am constantly terrified of knocking over the dirty water container on to one of the rugs we just spent $300 cleaning.   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Senormac Posted October 3, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2023 (edited) Some of you might be aware of an independent comic I've been producing for a few years called Spike Mulligan. I have made it to issue 8 which is pretty amazing in my thinking and it's been really fun putting it all together. I posted lots of progress shots here in this thread over the years. I did the artwork for the first 6 issues (except for the covers) and my friend Jack Dickason did the last two issues (#7 + #8) completely. Pencils and inks.  He is way better than I. Anyways, Jack has a couple of original pages from issue #7 up in the current CLINK auction with about a week to go.  Not Gee pages mind you, but still nice ones IMO. It would be awesome if someone here got them. Here are scans of them from Spike #7. Comic Link :: Search Results for jack dickason Comic Books For Sale and Auction       Edited October 3, 2023 by Senormac srezvan, bronze_rules, ADAMANTIUM and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
