Now With Art

I am in the process of uploading artwork to the site so you guys can get a good idea of what I do with Adobe Illustrator.

I have uploaded Iron Man: Hypervelocity 1 already, and I’ll have the rest of the series up very shortly. Keep checking back throughout this weekend.

It’s a bit hectic around here with all the work I’m doing and various family emergencies. Thanks for being so patient.

We’ll get this tutorial back up and running soon enough.

IRON MAN:HYPERVELOCITY

Here’s a preview pages of my 6 issue mini-series from Marvel.
The book is titled Iron Man Hypervelocity and will be released January 2007.

It’ll be offered in the November Diamond previews catalog
for items shipping in January.

Let your local comic shop know you want to order it and they’ll reserve you a copy.

The trade paperback will ship the second week of October, 2007.

Make sure you get a copy of the comic or the trade!

KILLBOX

Here’s something I’m working on right now. I’m adding extra pages and content to a KILLBOX trade paperback/manga. It should ship in mid-2006. I’ve been adding gray tones and transparencies to my line art. I’m enjoying the results. What do you think?

WHO WANTS TO SEE MY THINGY

Here is my finished picture of the ever-lovin’ blue-eyed Thing.

I had to get rid of the BRUSH effects on this page because it slowed my computer down to much.

So I went it with the PENCIL and A GRAY FILL and STROKE to make the shading effects.

I did the dark Gray on one layer and the lighter gray on the layer UNDER the dark one. This really gives the impression of smooth shading.

I also created little light grey lines around the shading areas to make it look like I used a real brush and the hairs created some random Happy Accidents.

Once I created the black background I saw that the Thing didn’t pop out as much as he did against the white background. To correct this I created a small white line around most of his rocky outline. This helps pop him out of the page and away from his background.

I then added white dots to make it look like rocky debris was falling off from him as he moved and the rocks grinded together. That little extra attention to detail really pays off.
