New cover recreation. Chamber of Chills 23 FINISHED!!!

[excelsior1986]

Here's my newest one. Chamber of Chills 23. This one has been quite an experience so far but fun as hell to do. Getting all those colors right and figuring what to use to get them llike that was pretty fun.

 

Here's the picture after inking was finished.

 

And here's the color. Its still not done yet though. I still have to do the girls hair and the shading on the face. The cover has all tthe ttiny dots for the shading thoughso I'm going tto see if i can make it look good without all the dots (I forget what that technique is called.)

 

Thanks for checking it out!

Extremely impressive. That's a cool talent you have, must've been painstaking to recreate that detail so closely.

[Kevin.J]

Are you doing this just for pleasure or are you making a living out of it.

Either way you are very talented and this is brilliant.

Very Nice.

 

I'm thinking the shading style is called halftone.

Great work.

What materials do you use?

[excelsior1986]

Thank you everyone. Right now this is how im making my living. It doesn't pay much but at least its something i love doing. And it helps feed my comic book addiction too.

 

I use Derwent sketch pencils, usually HB, H or 2H. Sharpie fine point marker for lining, and prismacolor markers for color. I have a few copics, but those are damn expensive.

Do you have a site that shows all of the ones you've done?

[excelsior1986]

I actually have a thread in general somewhere that I posted all the one I've done in. I'll see if i can find it.

Sweet! I feel honored to have my artwork hanging in someone else's comic room.

They're about 3/4 free hand. I don't use a light box. Its another technique I came up with myself. I print the cover out backwards and use tracing paper to trace the general outline so i can get the positioning as accurate as possible. I do the same for text (I hate trying to freehand text). I then take the backwards outline and place it on the paper I'm going to do the actual piece on and rub with a rounded pen cap to transfer the outline. After that I sketch out the rest of the details and then use a fine point pen to ink it and then go to town with the coloring.

You do requests ? would like to know

[excelsior1986]

Yes, I can probably do any cover you'd like. Shoot me a PM and we can work out a deal.

Finished this one tonight. I decided not to go with the tiny dots on the girl, not due to laziness, but just because I don't think it would've looked as good as it does on the comic.
