Wobbly Bits...

[wobbly]

I realised that I haven't got a thread specifically for any new non-competition stuff like most of the other artists here have, so I thought I'd make one and to start off here's one I finished today:

http://www.kellcom.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/HulkVThing-Colors1.jpg

Needs a background and maybe some other fiddling but I've started on something else now, so I'll get back to this later:)

[TheReaper]

Would you be intrested in doing any concepts for my story called, "Otherside". Your one of the best artists on the Hype! and I'd love for you do some concepts. Just for fun if your intrested...

[darth_coolius]

whooooooooooooooooooooooooa, nice energy and flow to this pic. the coloring is great too

[MOD1st]

yes very awesome.

[The Lumberjack]

One of my favorite works from you Wobbly. Keep up the awesome work man.

[Jack Rabbit]

Yeah, what coolius said.

Great energy and coloring is ****ing awesome!!:eek:

[wobbly]

Thanks for the comments people, greatly appreciated.

After inking a couple of great action pics by another artist I decided to put a lot more thought into making this pic more energetic than the comparatively dull 'pin-up' poses I usually do, so I'm happy that seems to have come off :)

Also wanted to try a more modern 'ripped' look on the Hulk than the old fashioned (70's/80's) way I usually draw him too.

Lastly, here's the 'step by step' bit for this one (I won't put any more of these up though, I think you get the idea of how I do pics by now):

TheReaper, Pm me with the details. I won't make any promises but I'll see what I can do :)

[darth_coolius]

LOL, wobbly's bits....

[-masta^minded-]

:eek: :eek: LOVE IT!!!


I´v been on your homepage, and I noticed the "mini comic" fight where hulk and supes are fighting and stuff are you going to finish that one?

Sadly this is what I first thought too...

[Pyrthas]

I like it a lot. My only conern is that the Hulk's position looks really unnatural. It works fine and looks good, but it seems a little odd for him to be leaning back that far (unless he isn't leaning back at all, in which case there's a different problem ;)). It's not as though he isn't strong enough to get a big punch off like that, but it just looks a little off. (I just got up and tried to throw a punch while leaning back like that to see if I'm totally crazy, but I don't think that I am.)

Don't get me wrong, though; I think that it's great, and you did a good job of getting more action into it than you usually do. (The pin-ups don't suck, though. ;))

[darth_coolius]

i dunno, i think the pose works great and doesn't look wrong at all. looks like he's really swinging hard, and there's alot of power behind it.

[wobbly]

Here's one I finished earlier:
http://www.fanartists.com/gallery/data/503/29Spiderman_Night.jpg

Note: this was mainly for practice in doing a background as I don't always do a proper drawn in one so I didn't worry too much about Spideys anatomy (which I know is a little off):)

[TheReaper]

Very cool pic of Spidey, like the pose...

[MarvelMovies]

Haha..

I even like the title..

Wobbly Bits.

Love the step by step thing.. from Layout to Pencil to Ink.. to Final..

Love the work.. in fact, I was just looking at your gallery on fanartists before..

[wobbly]

This is a possible entry for the March competition (I'm working on another idea atm, and I'll see how that looks when it's done before deciding which one to go with)

http://www.kellcom.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/MOW_SPLASH.jpg

The story is one I've had in mind for ages. It's basically a future war number, with Earth's forces pitted against their genetically engineered creations they made to terra-form the moon in the first place.
It goes into all manner of historical conspiracies involving Roswell, Area 51 etc, but no point going on about that till I do something more substantial with it :)

[Archangel]

Dear god.....that's amazing.

[Dark Carnage]

Damn that's cool.:up:

[MOD1st]

I want to try it.

[Quentin Black]

Sweet Jesus...

What's the point of even enterring the contest when going against an entry like that..

It's friggin' AMAZING!

[Quentin Black]

Yeah, I think we've all been kicked squarely in the nads....

[wobbly]

Thanks for the comments, and here's an old poster I did for this same idea years ago:

http://www.kellcom.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/manofwar1.jpg

When I did this I had no computer so it was entirely manual, colors and all.

[TheReaper]

Your entry is amazing, any more art from that project?

[the_ultimate_evil]

holy frig

what exactly do you use to colour

[wobbly]

TheReaper, I've only got some old doodles and story notes for this one I'm afraid.

the_ultimate_evil, the older pic was colored mainly with markers (petrol/alcohol based) and finishing touches were added with water colors (got the big A3 original framed & hanging on my wall).

The new one (and almost all the stuff I've done for about a year now) was drawn manually in black & white inks, scanned in and colored in photoshop :)

[the_ultimate_evil]

thought so, hmm i gotta get better at colouring

[Quentin Black]

I like your older stuff. It's a lot more natural looking.

[wobbly]

Here's the nearly finished pic for the other idea I had in mind for the March comp:

http://www.kellcom.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/HERO-SPLASH.jpg

Needs more work in spots but its near enough done to get feedback.

The story is another old one Ive had in mind for ages, basically an attempt at doing a real world, real physics (as near as dammit) superhero.
Never done too much with it though as related themes have been covered pretty damn well in Miracleman and Watchmen, but I might go back to it one day :)

(btw, the Superman t-shirt is a joke gift from Abby, his girlfriend in the story).


Not really sure which of the two I should enter in the comp atm, so any suggestions and thoughts would be appreciated :)

And for comparison:

I like doing both, but do lean to the art side. Unfortunately I'm not overly prolific in either. I know I should really try to get more done with these; even if nothing came of them publishing wise, or the result is a pile of cr#p, at least I'd have a full blown finished work to my name :)

What do you have in mind?

[wobbly]

ok, only a few hours till I have to post one of the above pics in the comp. I'm leaning towards the war pic myself (first ideas usually the best). Seems more self contained and requires less presumption to understand whats going on, so I'll probably go with that in the end :)

[MOD1st]

[wobbly]

I haven't seen Hellboy yet (we don't get the film in the UK until September!!) but I've a friend who lives in New Jersey who has and they told me about a cool graphic in the opening titles of the film drawn in the style of Da Vinci's classic 'man' drawing.

Got me thinking that I'd like see that as a finished pic and since I've got some unexpected time on my hands I thought I'd take a crack at it and came up with this:

http://www.kellcom.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/Hellboy_Davincistyle_color1.jpg

This is based on the original Da Vinci sketch and the info my friend could give me on the films graphic which is apparently reversed out and glowing (couldn't give me much more than that as it only appears briefly?).

And this one below is the original pencil sketch before getting the photoshop treatment:

http://www.kellcom.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/Hellboy_DVStyle_Pencils.jpg

The letterring, if you can read any of it, is in Italian (I don't speak it, the translation's were all done through 'Babelfish', so it'd probably sound like gibberish to anyone who can speak it :)

Edited: Forgot to do his tail, doh!! Since added to the pencils and re-did the colored version from them.

[willi d]

Nice ode to da vinci. A true great one. And a nice piece of work. Good job!

[The Kryptonian]

Whoa! Your art is amazing! I love the idea you had for the March contest, that is fantastic! Brilliantly done. Nice work.

[wobbly]

Thanks Kryptonian and I'm very happy you like the story ideas. I've been writing notes and so on to try and make at least one 22 page issue out of the 'Man Of War' story, so it's very nice to know before hand that people might like the idea :)

[wobbly]

This is a request pic that I've inked & colored for Lone, who drew and provided the pencils:

http://www.kellcom.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/She_Devil_Colored.jpg

I liked the background effect I used for the Hellboy pic so I used the same 'marble' filter in Eyecandy for this one too (never been one to waste a nice effect once I've found it :) )

Wobbly those are amazing..!

The Hellboy Da Vinci is just wow..!

Some people have a talent to draw, and you're one of those people..

[Olivier]

Wonderful art & colors!
I love the Hulk vs Thing one and the comics.
The Da Vinci Hellboy is splendid.

[wobbly]

Thanks for the comps on the Hellboy pic. Oddly enough I like it a lot more than the one I have entered in the comp, and it took far less time to do too!!

Anyway, and in a shameless bump of this thread, here's a work in progress I'm doing as a request for a friend (since I like the Hulk too it's no hardship to me either):

http://www.kellcom.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/Hulk_Incarnations_Rough.jpg

These are just the basic pencils, from here I'd normally just tighten everything up before inking and hitting photoshop, but I'm thinking of hand-painting this one for a change so I can have the big A3 original for myself :)

[web_head83]

how do u draw like that :(

its so cool!!!!!!!

can wait to see it finished!! You mentioned u were doing that as a request for a friend i dont suppose i can request a pencil sketch of spidey fighting with doc ock?:D

Sure, but give us around a week or so as I've recently been offerred some page work (only a small job for a little money, but worth taking a crack at it, I hope) so I'll be giving priority to the layouts for that for now.

Also, do you want movie or comic styles for them?

[wobbly]

Here's the tighter pencils for the Hulk pic:

erm movie style would be great wobbly, thanks for taking my request on :D

[wobbly]

Here's the Hulk pic colored:

http://www.kellcom.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/Hulk_Incarnations_P1.jpg

Tried out something new with the coloring on this one so its technically a 'hybrid': Inked the pencils, scanned that in and did the base colors in photoshop. Then printed that off on some A4 Bristol board and added the highlights & effects with water colors.

[Nylen]

Nice work, Wobb!!

So, have you given it any thought? about the Elektra Daredevil image I'm developing right now...wanna colour it if ye get any spare time??

[Quentin Black]

Stunning

EDIT: but I would say make Grey Hulk a little less pink

[Hollow Wood Director]

Fantastic work wobbly.

Seriously, I did think the same sort of thing on the pose when I was inking it, but figured what the hell, was a bit late to redraw anything at that stage anyway :)

[Bat Brain]

wow how do you draw like that? are you a pro? if not then you should be you god you.

banner's hands look too big. also the hulk in the middle: his eyes look a bit off, I cant exactly point out what it is. I also dont like the hulk on the left, his face looks bad. other than those things, the picture is good, different from your other drawings.

[wobbly]

Here's the loose pencils for my 'non-entry' in the June comp:

http://www.kellcom.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/SpideyOck_Pencils1.jpg

I didn't have any reference to hand when doing this, and was half-distracted watching the Euro 2004 footie, so it needs a fair bit of work with Ock's arms and the BG, all of which I'll get sorted before I ink & color this one :)

[Quentin Black]

A 'lil work on the tentacles and it'll be perfect :up:

[MarvelMovies]

Love the Hulk incarnations..

Awesome!

:hulk:

[Nylen]

Great Wobb

I've got another picture you could colour if you wanna to.

[wobbly]

Heres the pencils for my August Comp entry:

http://www.kellcom.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/MissStrange-Pencils.jpg

And from that I colored directly (without any inking) in ps to produce this:

http://www.kellcom.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/MissStrange.jpg

This proved to be the longest piece I've done (several hours over 2 days) but I do love the effect so its something Id like to try again (just not too soon...):)

I actually like the version before you added color better. Not to say anything bad about the coloring but that I just like the look of pre inked art. You have done a really nice drawing here.

[PrimeObjective]

I love everything except the cape. but beautiful artwork

[wobbly]

Originally posted by PrimeObjective

I wasn't keen on the cape myself. It's one of the things Iv'e changed on the newer version you can now see above.
(other changes: PS Lens-Flares terminated!!, better boots, a Logo added, worked a little on that left hand, and tarted up the BG a bit)

[Drakon]

It looks a lot better, I think. The logo fits nicely.


And I really like the new avatar, including Rose. Shes like my fave piece of yours for some reason. I also think its your best piece, by far.

[Jack Rabbit]

WObbly, in the Doc Strange sketch, what are the purpose of the cross hair like lines on her hands? I'm wondering if it might be a helpful tool for me to use in future pieces...

[nosebleed.]

I thiiink that might be where he intended the lense flare to be. But then again i could be wrong and wobble-wobble might have some secret WOBBLE-TECHNIQUE that only him and his teacher Pai Mei use to punch their fists through solid wood and draw women with really sexy legs.

LOL, The crosshairs was just me fiddling about doing an half-arsed background rather than rendering one properly. I knew I was going to do some sort of 'special effect' around the hands, I doodled some bits mainly with a 'krackle' effect in mind and yes, as Nosebleed said, I added those xhairs with the much maligned Lens-flares in mind as a posibility too ;):)

As far as the figurework or layout was concerned, they served absolutely no function at all if thats any help:)

I love the artwork, especially the pose of that 'thunder-Hulk' thing you did in the 2nd comic strip you posted.

[wobbly]

Here's the more or less finished pencils for what I might enter in this months Comp:


http://www.kellcom.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/FF_PENCILS.jpg

When I ink this I might have to do the faces seperately to make them look like the actors them copy them over, as on the paper (A3) they are still quite small to work with (about one inch tops in height) so getting a good likeness, even with the reference I have for them, is that much harder at that size.

Also undecided as to do the usual method (inks, scan then color is PS) or try some digital 'painting' again (having got one out of the way it ought to be a bit easier next time). Will also tweak the costumes a bit as well, though as they are now they do kinda match the description we have of them (a cross between the Ultimate & traditional versions)

And for the BG, since there's still plenty of time, rather than a generic backdrop I was thinking of drawing and assembling a collage of 'Friends & Foes'.

[i'm Spider-Man]

i have two criticisms of that FF drawing Wobbs, and they're both to do with The Thing.

- the hands. is he meant to have only three fingers and a thumb? i don't see why he'd lose a finger.

- his face. he looks almost TOO human. i know, this is what we're expecting for the film. i just think if the face was a little broader, a little more familiar to what we're used to seeing, it'd "crank it up a notch" to quote ol' Bender :D

otherwise, FAB drawing, can't wait to see the coloured version!

and all your work up til now.... fantastic! great to see a fellow Brit doing such high-quality work!



i wish i could do this stuff :(

i wish i could do this stuff :(The thing does have only 4 digits on all his hands and feet, always has, afaik.

As for the face, I want this to hopefully look like what we will see in the movie. Im only guessing, but as they say Chiklis' face will be quite recogniseable through the mask/prosphetics then thats where I figured I'd start, by basing the pencils more on a reference photo of him than on how I'd normally draw Bens face.
Also, this is only pencils. Once I get on with the inking/coloring I can hopefully make any adjustments needed to make him look a little less human, but still have Chiklis seen in there then.

[i'm Spider-Man]

aaaah.... i'm with you. good plan :) always good to raise this stuf though, in case its things you hadnt thought of :D

so how's everything else mate, haven't spoken in quite some time. anything else in the pipeline art-wise? i remember all the requests :D

[wobbly]

I'm doing fine thanks, how are you? (feel free to PM me if you like):)

Anyway, I figured I'd ink this one anyway whichever way I go to color it:

http://www.kellcom.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/FF-INKS1.jpg
Not too happy with the how the faces look at this size (look better on the big original) But should able to sort that with the coloring.
(also, you'll note I didnt ink the Force field around Sue's hand, that'll be done in PS)

[Crimson Dynamo]

Nice composition.

[MutantCircus]

Very, very good work, wobbly. You'll have a good shot at winning, IMO.

[KAZUYA]

Nice work, I really like the inked version, Sue loooks short but I guess Jessica Alba is a kinda short too.

[BIONIC COMMANDO]

if you dnt mind askin, what kind of utinsel did you use to ink your artwork, cause im doing mine and i want to make it look good like your turned out :)

[wobbly]

if you dnt mind askin, what kind of utinsel did you use to ink your artwork, cause im doing mine and i want to make it look good like your turned out :)Usually whatever pens I can find that are still working:) .

For this one it was a mix of 'Pilot' permanent ink fine-liners, from 0.2 for the very fine stuff, 0.8 for much of the rest (like the cracks in Bens hide and so on) up to a broader black marker with a chisel tip for the solid fills and thicker outlines. Also used a standard ink 'Paper mate' medium felt tip as well as it has a bit of a flexible tip making it a little easier to vary the line width, but I wouldn't recommend using one normally as one drop of water and that'll bleed all over the place.:)

[wobbly]

Here's a test run at the coloring for the Thing only atm:

http://www.kellcom.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/ThingOnlyTest2.jpg
Decided to go for a 'paint' job on this and this test run is a bit of mix of painting over the inks and using the inks as well (too many cracks to try and paint with a mouse when you don't have to).
I think it looks ok but I'll see how the other characters look once I've painted them over before seeing if I keep this as ishttp://www.superherohype.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif

If you mean the highlighting I've put on him, in the main pic the torch is flying above and behind him so it makes sense any light from the flame should be highlighted off Bens hide from that direction. Even matted objects still reflect light. The same will apply to the other characters and they'll be highlighted similarly.
Any inconsintencies in direction of that light can be fixed when I see it alltogether on the screen (as I said, this is a test run on Ben, I haven't started on the others yet)

So if that is what you meant it's not a case of him being shiny, rather just his hide reflecting a strong light source from the direction it's coming from, basically just as he would if he were real.

That makes sense now. I didn't remember the Torch was above him

what program do you use to color your pics wobbly?

[wobbly]

what program do you use to color your pics wobbly?
Damn, I missed your question so I'm very sorry for taking so long to reply.
As for the answer I use Photoshop for computer colored pics and whatever I have that works for manual coloring (usually alcohol based markers or water colors/Acrylics, stuff like that).

Here's the pencils for my first go at an entry for the Christopher Reeve Tribute Competition:

http://www.kellcom.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/ReeveTrib_Pencils1.jpg

There's not a lot to it really and I've been thinking of trying something else but if I do go with this or something similar I'll probably try painting it the old fashioned way.

[Drakon]

Suh-weet. I love it when you post WIPs, cause it lets me see just what steps and changes you do when making an entry.

[wobbly]

Here's the more or less finished colors for the above pencils:

http://www.kellcom.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/Reeve_Tribute_Paint1.jpg

After making a right pigs ear out of the pencils trying to paint them manually (a little out of practice...) I decided to do a 'Hybrid' for this one: Colored it initially on PC trying to get a painted feel to it, printed that off then went over lightly here and there with some Arcrylic color washes. Once done scanned it back in and added the text at the bottom.

I doubt I'll have time to try something else so barring some fiddling about with this it'll probably be my entry for the comp in the end.

[Drakon]

Seeing Superman is REALLY REALLY done well. I would pay for a print of that alone, and to add Reeve like that is great. But looking at it, theres something about Reeves nose that is bugging me.

[0neDisturbedSOB]

holy s**t that "Thing" is pretty impressive.

What's next?

[wobbly]

Well, I been fiddling about with it a little since I posted it so maybe the newer one is a bit better? (The coloring on Reeve's face looked a little washed out in general after the scan back in so I've worked some on that too).

[Drakon]

The coloring looks WAY better, but I mean the nose looks a bit too high up.

It's been a while since I posted in this thread but here's something I did after seeing and not being too impressed with the latest FF movie poster (it's also posted over in the FF forums):

http://www.kellcom.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/fantastic_four_POSTER_NEW.jpg

Obviously all manipped (and then some...) in Photoshop from whatever pics I could find that were usable with bits drawn in where needed.

(btw- this job would have been virtually impossible to do without a Wacom, once you get used to using one they are a Godsend!!!:) )

[ILoveHugh!]

Thanks for the comments people, greatly appreciated.

After inking a couple of great action pics by another artist I decided to put a lot more thought into making this pic more energetic than the comparatively dull 'pin-up' poses I usually do, so I'm happy that seems to have come off :)

Also wanted to try a more modern 'ripped' look on the Hulk than the old fashioned (70's/80's) way I usually draw him too.

Lastly, here's the 'step by step' bit for this one (I won't put any more of these up though, I think you get the idea of how I do pics by now):

Layout

Pencils

Inks
http://www.kellcom.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/HulkVThing-Inks.jpg


you are the type of artist i envy, the ones who can do that step by step thing. that is probably why i can't draw good. i tend to just draw things straight out with a lot of rubbing out, and the end result is very worn out paper. your result is very good artwork which everyone loves. keep making us hypesters happy :)

[Draw4u]

IM NOT WORTHY! Holy hell man, this stuff is awesome!

[X-Fan#1]

that FF poster is freakin' amazing!!! Keep up the kick ass picks!

[wobbly]

This is what I will probably go with in this months fan art comp:

http://www.kellcom.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/Ghost-Rider-PColored.jpg

The layout is based on a Tomb Raider movie poster, and it was pencilled & inked manually, colored behind the inks normally in PS first, then 'painted' over in PS (to try and lighten the heavy inks a bit).

I've done another layout which would have Mephisto in it too but as I'm something else now I'll only go ahead with that one if I have time to do a decent job on it before the comp deadline :) .

[Drakon]

Like everyone else, you have only gotten better with time, Wobbly. But, I started out with an affinity to your work, and even now, it just blows me away just as much as it did when I first saw your stuff. Been a fan for two years or so now--take solice in the fact that you have loyal fans.

your work is great realy inspireing. :supes:
it has a Kerry Gammel feel to it.

Your work is very nice Wobbly. I guess I should start picking up a pencil and maybe do some drawing. I haven't drawn in 15 years :eek:

I think I'll let my manip thread die down http://www.superherohype.com/forums/images/icons/icon10.gif I was playing around since I'm pretty new with manips. I also need to get me one of those photo shop software. Which is the best version to have that doesn't cost an arm and a leg?

I have been a fan of Wobbly's work too. I wish I had that kind of talent. I've done some paintings and drawings, but they seem amateurish.

It's a genuine satanic symbol "The Sigil of the Baphomet":

The letters apparently spell out the word "leviathan".

Here's a photo-manip in the manner or the earlier 'Hulk Vs Thing' pic I posted in the thread, using both movies versions of the characters (and yes, these one's do take a looong time to do...:) )


http://www.kellcom.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/Hulk-Vs-Thing-FLAT.jpg

Forgot to add...The Hulk has been reduced to something closer to his correct size (a 15ft Hulk against a 5ft10" Thing just aint gonna look right :) )

[RAMORE]

WOW

wobbly thats really good :up:

[ThatOneGuy]

That looks really neat

[i_am_brucelee]

that hulk and thing pic looks like the big 12" versions of the toys.

[Drakon]

Very Impressive, Wobbly. Not like I expected anything different.

[Eternal]

Very, very cool! It's rare that I see a manip that I think looks good, but this is one of those times :).

[wobbly]

Thanks for the comments on the Hulk Vs Thing pic, always appreciated.

Heres another new(ish) one. Based on a pic I did a couple of years ago, I basically 'painted' over it in photoshop & generally jazzed it all up, my version of Phoenix for X3:

http://www.kellcom.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/PhoenixMK2.jpg

Note: Yeah, we all know Famke Jenssen doesn't have, nor is likely to show quite as much cleavage, but we can but hope ;) :)

Should also add the fiery background Phoenix is based on a great design I saw on a book cover back when I did the original.

[nosebleed.]

Wow wobbly, I wish I could render fire like that in PS. Your PS skill has always impressed me. The only thing that throws me off I guess are the white hands...reminds me of nightcrawler. That phoenix in the background...is that all rendered by yourself or are you using a manip?

[Exabyte]

I really like dark and evil looking pics.

[MOTEROX]

Yeeeeeeeaaaah!!

[Vartha]

Wobs buddy, I'm glad you haven't lost your touch. I'm lovin' the Hulk vs the Thing!

[wobbly]

...That phoenix in the background...is that all rendered by yourself or are you using a manip?

A bit of of both. As I said, it was based off a design on a book cover and this was it (the wonders of google's image search :) ):

http://www.math.ttu.edu/~kesinger/brust/phoenix.jpg

That design is so neat I blew it up and worked right over it. Dont know who painted that original but its a great job.

As for rendering fire effects in general, for manips I tend to use existing pics of fires mixed together where it looks right and then paint over either with the brush or clone tool to blend and match etc. Basically just keep going till it looks right. There's also a neat 'smoke' filter in KPT that can add a nice effect for glows and so on (like around Jean in the above pic), but you have to persevere with it using it in stages (basically one small bit at a a time)

SUE. And Jim Lee posted on his blog (jimlee.net) that, that post seemed very similar to a drawing he did, especially Mr. Fantastic! And again, SUE :)

This would be the poster Jim Lee is referring to and that was part of the idea really; The posters Fox had come up with at the time hadn't impressed me much so I wanted to come up with something that I felt was a better representation of the FF from the comics. I looked at a lot of covers and posters from the books and went for a layout similar to Lee's one here as I could represent all 4 characters well without having one dominate it (If I remember right I posted this picture over at the FF boards before I even made mine as an idea of what I was going for).

http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~chung/Fun/comics/fantastic_four.jpg

[wobbly]

The one I have is like A1, I believe.

Yours is A3, which is about half the size of the one that theatre is using (judging by the doors I'd say that one is A2).
My best guess is someone either grabbed the higher-res pic I put up on the net for a while and used that, or one of the A3 prints I've had done has been used and/or reproduced...

Trying out something new to me...Sculpting!! (have'nt done anything like this since playing with plasticine when I was a kid).

Anyways, this is a WIP and I'm using 'Super Sculpey' for the first time (which you can mould in much the same way as plasticine, except you can oven bake this solid once done) and as this stuff aint exactly cheap I picked the Thing for my first attempt as I figured anatomical correctness aint gonna be a big issue with this one.

I made the head first then then the wire frame wrapped in tin-foil for the body second:

http://www.kellcom.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/ThingSculpt1.jpg

http://www.kellcom.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/ThingSculpt.jpg

And this is as far as I've taken him so far (I'm adding most of the rocky plates over the base body rather than carving them out):

http://www.kellcom.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/ThingSculpt4.jpg

http://www.kellcom.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/ThingSculpt3.jpg

http://www.kellcom.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/ThingSculpt2.jpg

All going well I've got the weight balance right and it should be be free standing (no need for a base) once its finished. Will post up more of this once it's all done and 'baked', and more again when I get round to painting it :)

[nosebleed.]

That's pretty damn cool Wobster. It's really cool that your drawing talent transcribes into sculpting pretty good. lol...It even looks like one of your drawing...talk about having your own style. U gonna paint it too? How much is that stuff?

Can't wait to see some more.

Nice job, Wobbly. Getting a sculpture to stand on it's on is a pain in the ass, and yet you did it on your first try. How large is it? Can you photograph it next to something so we have a reference?

Phenomenal work here Wobbly

I Pmed you the other week there if you did any 2000AD work
You told me in your reply that you were too old school

Man you are one of the best artists - and now sculptors here

That thing is very well done

But How about casting it in silicon or foam rubber so you could pose the body?

Superb anyway my man

Gonna check in here more often

[Batmun]

Pretty nice sculpture. You should do a sculpture of your entry to this month's Fan Art Contest. That would be sweet!

[Jspider13]

You'r stuff has gotten even more impressive over the years I've seen your work.

I'd like to add that I had the honor of doing a collaboration with Wobbly on a drawing of mine. He painted it for me through photoshop which came out great.

AWESOME figure.

You are ****ing amazing, Wobbly.

[wobbly]

I decided I didnt like the color on the sculpt (it was too dark and muddy looking) so I stripped the paint off and started again (also added a few more pics here from different angles):

Also, to protect the acrylic paints I gave it a light glaze with a quick drying water based (and watered down) matt clear varnish (so it should survive the odd bump or two without any chipping) It also gives the rocky look a nice natural looking sheen that my camera doesn't quite pick up right (he looks a little bit shinier in these pics than the real thing does)

Being a Sculptor myself - Thats a great Sculpt

But using glazes for subjects like the thing I never felt comfotable with as the channels inbetween his "Rockflesh" can make it look too shiny giving it the appearance of baked beans in sauce

I think you pulled it off tho - but that last closeup photo does kinda prove slightly what I'm trying to say

Shiniest thing should be his teeth and eyes in my book - I would just used flat matt color and some drybrushing build up

Great model man - respect:up:




BTW Mark,

You still up for doing sequentials for my Deadeye Samurai Comic?

I need the Introduction Battle and your sequentials Zing

Can you handle a Slaine-esque/ LOTR style battle with Japanese Gods and demons?

I've frightened a few people off with it I think LOL

Let me know soon Please by PM/IM or here

I'll have the finished Intro script soon:up:

But I'm re posting the synopsis for issue one in the first post on my thread

Sorry its taken so long - But i've had to save my marriage ( 2nd)

LOL - its never easy

[wobbly]

Yeah, I see what you mean about the beans effect (lol:)) but trust me, the sheen on the real sculpt is softer so it doesn't have quite that effect..well, not so obvious at any rate (I'm still trying to find a setting on my camera that will take an accurate shot...of the above pics the back shot is the closest to how it really looks).

Also, what exactly is drybrushing? (I'm a newbie to sculpting stuff so please excuse my ignorance).

As for the Deadeye Samurai comic, I have looked at your thread so I have an idea of what you after and I think I can handle that kinda stuff so pm me the details for the scene/pages you have in mind and we can take it from there (though if you mean by 'Slaine-esque' that you are after Bisley class work that's way outta my league I'm afraid :) )

NO no no - Lol - Mark I like your style man

I dont want you to draw like Bisley

By slaine - esque - I was referring to the giant battle scenes that happen in the comic
Note I also used LOTR - Lord Of The Rings too as reference of the kinda epic battle scene I'm looking for


Drybrushing?

Well I used to make Miniature figures and scale dragons and suchlike and how I painted them One of the techniques was by dry brushing

Basically its a painting technique where you put some minimal paint so its practically "dry" on your brush and paint it loosely over the model

If done right it picks out the raised parts of the figure detail - you can repeatedly go over a figure with this method using different gradients and build up different areas of tone around raised parts giving it a more 3D effect

For channels between the raised parts

I used colored ink after i primed and base colored it

Hope this helps you out buddy

Yep, I took a screencap from a scene near the end as they are running to the jet (watched both movies looking for something for them from the right angles and there I had them both in the same shot!!)

Lol, yea I do the same thing. It's easier than looking for actual promo pics.
(btw, if you didn't already know, I found a way to get high res caps from dvds. Just change your screen settings to like 1600x1200 and then cap em.)

and cool I look forward to seeing it.

Wob,
I'm always impressed with your work...

You young'ns should be taking notes... HEH

AWESOME STUFF!

[SpandexFan]

I realised that I haven't got a thread specifically for any new non-competition stuff like most of the other artists here have, so I thought I'd make one and to start off here's one I finished today:

Needs a background and maybe some other fiddling but I've started on something else now, so I'll get back to this later:)

:up: Hulk vs. Thing never gets old. :up:

[SpandexFan]

Here's one more or less finished, a movie version take on the classic X-Men #141 cover by John Byrne & Terry Austin. Like the Hulk Vs Thing and Fantastic Four posters it's a hybrid of photo-manipulation, manual 'painting' and a ton of fiddling about:

Bumping the thread to post the refined & finished Hulk Vs Iron-Man pic I entered in the art comp a couple of months back:

http://www.kellcom.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/Hulk-Vs-Iron-ManBG.jpg

As with the others I've made of this type the pic began as a drawing:

http://www.kellcom.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/Hulk-Vs-Thing-INKS.jpg

Then I worked over this base using whatever photo's I could find that were suitable to manip and wacom paint the thing to look as realistic as I could.

[wobbly]

[DorkyFresh]

Was wondering if anyone would spot that...

It's a cuddly toy that was on the original photo for the truck. Thought it would be cute to leave it there.:)

Interesting... Reminds me of the old game, "I Spy". I didn't see that at first. hehehe By the way, I love your photo-manipulations. I like how you make some classic favorite comic book covers into live-action manips. That's what I am really, really, really interested in. I can't wait to see/check this thread for what's coming up next. Are you gonna do DC Comics "live-actionized classic comics" ones by any chance, Wobbly?

[RAMORE]

Wobbly your the best love that ironman hulk:up:

[Vartha]

GREAT to see you still at it Wobbly!
Can't wait to see what you do for Thor when his movie starts filming.

Have not done much lately (I am the master of getting sidetracked...:csad:) but here's a work in progress of what will be a sculpted bust for the Thing:

http://www.kellcom.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/ThingBustWIP1.jpg

http://www.kellcom.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/ThingBustWIP2.jpg

This was made using Sculpey Polymer clay, the head measures about 5" high, and once I get the shoulders for the head to rest on done I will get round to painting it with acrylics. The eyes, btw, were borrowed from a doll :yay:

Very cool! I like that you went with the comic version and not the burn victim from the movies.

[B-man]

hahaha, good one Keith_V, very cool looks great, can't wait to see it finished.

Thanks, and yes, I wasn't too keen with the face they made in the movie either. They did away with his two biggest characteristics (the top heavy brow and button nose). It was little better in the 2nd film but still underwhelming and the Thing should be something you go 'wow' at if he were done faithfully on film.

Anyway, here's the head mounted on to shoulders and painted with acrylics:

http://www.kellcom.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/MKTHINGP1.jpg

It's still not quite done as I have to apply a light glaze with thinned down satin varnish to give the surface a little translucence and protect the paint.

nice work wobs!

nice Job Wob's!
