Altar 2

Altar!  My second image of my graphic novel anti-hero Altar.  In this image he has a bow staff.  Experimenting a bit with his weaponry.  Really thought out his full outfit, armor, and coloring this time.  Went for a way more slim elongated body rig this time.  I think I like this style more than the bulky dudes I've been doing lately.

Draft 1:  The rough gesture sketching.

Draft 2:  The refining fat inking.

Draft 3:  The refined inking.

 Draft 4:  Getting ready for the coloring, laying down the flats.

Draft 5:  Working out the colors.  The pants are a bit shiny, changed it in the later versions.

Draft 6:  Worked on a "Post Apocalyptic" background painting.  Threw in some bells and whistles, painted in his eyes, and finished the colors.

More eye practice!

Tifa Lockheart [full body]

Don't know why, just like Tifa.  Decided to draw her again, full body profile this time.  Did some cell shading coloring this time.  Wanted to see how it would look on my inking style.

Tifa Lockheart

Tifa Lockheart, one of my favorite characters from Final Fantasy VII.  I tried a few different things in this painting.  I did a more of an airbrush effect on this painting.  Went direct to color and skipped the black and white rendering this time.  She looks a little like Jessica Rabbit.  I really like the way this turned out.

There's a lot to learn... here's some practice I did.

Deadpool

Deadpool, even though he's an older character, he's a new character to me.  I honestly don't know much about the character.  I actually had a hard time finding a reference for him because everyone who has drawn him has drawn the details of his outfit, weaponry, and armor quite differently.  Guess it gives me freedom to stretch the character to my liking. Well, he's a ninja, an assassin with a liking for guns and is quite fond of using the katana.  I can't help but to love this guy.

Ultimate Spiderman

I've always loved the Spiderman comics.  Very much as influence on me as a young artist.  This is the Ultimate Spiderman version of the character.  I'm very pleased with the way this one turned out.  Seems like I am most comfortable with this body rig style.  Ah the webbing, I thought I was going to hate doing it, but the results were sure worth it to get it just right.

Draft 1 :  The rough sketch

Draft 2:  The line drawing.  Went cleaner on my lines this time.  Less heavily shadowed via ink as compared to my last project, the Maxx.  Trying to do more of the rendering and shadowing in my painting than the inking.

Draft 3:  Light render.  Have to keep remembering to zoom way out sometimes to make sure it still reads and makes sense.  Getting used to the painting.

Draft 4:  Color!  Love it!!
