opposing styles

Spent Sunday Night at Dr. Sketchy's Burlesque life drawing session then the group of artists I was with headed over to the Cat and Fiddle in Hollywood where Dave Johnson was hosting another Drink and Draw get together. Lotta' cool people and great artists there. I managed to crap these out in my slightly buzzed state...

This is a Frankenstein character from my friend John Devilman's comic idea. It's been a while since I've done this kind of comic style, anime-esque stuff. I kinda left that behind in highschool, but I think I still got it despite some proportional mistakes here and there. Aaaaand, a dude. straight from my head. I don't know who he is, but he probably wants you to stop looking at him.

Das Vedanya, Comrade!

EMP and an adversary ready to rumble.

More BG work.

Lines By Thibault LaPorte.

Colors by me, done in Flash 8.rawr.

hmm.

I liked the way this came out. The original pencils are by my former schoolmate and current co-worker Matt Siditsky.

And the colors are by me. Done in Flash 8.
Really trying to take advantage of Flash's gradient tool to give BG's a somewhat sculpted, painted look. I used to hate the gradient tool as much as I hated using photoshop's lensflare, but in the right hands it can look pretty good I think. I'd like to take this a step further into Pshop and add some brush effects to give it a more "hand painted" look. But as it is, it's nice.
