And Rai from today:

As you can see...I don't play with the computer much for art like this. I use it enough everyday for work so I'd rather sketch with a pencil!

Re: Fan Art Fridays
I am planning on submitting a new pic this week!
My XO pencil sketch that I did not submit yet may go on the back burner. After my artist wife saw it and mentioned a few... issues... I just can't throw it up to the Valiant fumbler without fixing it... and fixing that drawing is a painful idea right now.
In the grand tradition of VEI's crazy pace of releasing teaser previews of upcoming books, may I present my very own teasers of a Shadowman pencil sketch I whipped up this weekend for the upcoming Fan Art Friday;


thank you, thank you, one and all...
I should note that these images are from a crappy iPhone photo as my scanner is still out of commission, thus the super poor image quality [and these are at 300dpi!!]

I've had a good long look at the amazing work you are doing over at 3DJoes.com ... you are excused, my good fellow!Carson wrote:OH NO! I've been officially called out! I am shamed it's taken me this long to participate. I just know once I start it'll be a 5 hour commitment (minimum). I'm a real detail oriented illustrator toogrendeljd wrote:Carson!!! When are we gonna see something from you?!
Really, I've been logging countless hours photographing Joes and building 3DJoes.com
It's quite a time commitment.
I'm traveling to Vancouver for work next week, so I'll try to get it in on the plane.
Keep it up guys (and gals

HA! I usually ink over my drawings for fan art Friday, but I didn't have time as I sketched that on a break at work...I guess Rai raided Mothergod's closet in the Lost Land!

Re: Fan Art Fridays
Here's a REALLY rough sketch of what I have planned.
The idea is that the girl PULSE is like on some higher ground (or flying, I dunno if she can fly though, perhaps her power enables her to magnetically lift herself, like Magneto does.)
She will be completely inked black, except for the eyes/pulse/electrical powers and bloodshot will be writhing in pain below, slumped over and tensed up.
The idea is I guess for a "Concept Cover"
anyway here it is, not much detail.

Dude, this is looking great - one of your best sketches I've seen to date on here!MarrowMan wrote:

If I may make a suggestion - I'd trim down the top afro on Bloodshot a bit. Looking at how you've drawn his head tilted back, if he were to pivot his head forward for a straight on perspective, the hair would look positively bulbous, and I would absolutely expect to see a comb sticking out of it.

I took all (or most) of your critiques and changed them, before I even read this post. More often than not, the sketch never fully resembles the final or near final product.grendeljd wrote:Dude, this is looking great - one of your best sketches I've seen to date on here!MarrowMan wrote:

I really like the dynamic tension between the two figures, Pulse is in a great pose.
