some WIPs

Some Wips of this piece. hope you like.

superman is not a fav of mine at all... but i liked drawing this.

the final inks for the superman piece.
im probably gonna rework that foot. seems alot of my art alumni feel it looks awkward.

MS5

recently got manga studio 5... this software is absolutly mind blowing. i love it.

the final

here is the final.
prints available for this.

things are heating up

working my way through this.

fire it up!

more inking WIP
decided to do some feathering and ink rendering... i will admit i dont have it down as far as placement and consistency. but im trying my best.
you can see in the last pic i decided to change the foreground apeman's back from arched to more straight/hunched.

been awhile again

so i think i just found a use for this. i dont really like to post inbetween pics of my art on my deviantart or face book... so this blog seems like a good place for WIP shots.
here is a piece im currently doing for a little good hearted, talent building competition over at www.penciljack.com - the Character is a pretty obscure old school video game character called Karnov.

 this first shows my fairly loose pencils... which are digital. i didnt want to waste time with scanning or erasing and what not. im leaning more and more to completely digital.

then i start in on inking. you can see i add alot of final elements here. more details than in the pencils. some hints at rendering. i find nowadays i either do very little rendering or i go all out on it. i havnt decided what im gonna do with this one yet. when i do barely any its for the reason that i want to try and do the rendering with colors. we will see. sometimes rending in ink though just looks too darn good to not do.
