The artwork of 0neDisturbedSOB

[0neDisturbedSOB]

Since everyone has their own thread full of great comic and non-comic related artwork I thought I'd start my own. I've got a ton of stuff scattered in various threads so I thought I'd post some some stuff that has been shown before, and some that hasn't (both comic and non-comic related).

This stuff was done over many, many years from pencil sketches, to ink work to the first time I attempted to use Adobe Illustrator (6 years ago). I am always open to any comments/criticism you might have, just as long as there's no arguing going on....I'm not even going to go through that again.

Hope you like it!

Some freelance work I did for a new TV station dedicated to "X-treme" sports. These were done about 4 years ago all in Illustrator. Sadly the station never got picked up, but hey, I got paid for my time and got some cool portfolio pieces out of it.

The VERY FIRST Illustrator piece I ever did. Obviously it's the logo from the "Batman/Superman Adventures" ok Kids WB! a few years back. I was pretty happy when I finished it because I learned how to use different shades of colors to achieve different effects, and I could duplicate something pretty spot on.

DVD disc covers I did for the fan film "Batman: Dead End". These were done about 2 years ago for Sandy Collora (the director).

Misc. clothing designs I did while I was working as a designer for a clothing company. A lot of these actually went into production, the ones that didn't I kept the rights to (such as the american flag one below....notice it on my Captain America redesign?)

A logo and T-shirt design I did for a friend of mine who owns the local comic book shop. He told me he wanted an Ed McGuinness-esque superhero (oversized muscles) with a really corny almost comical face. He really liked the picture McGuinness did of Superman flying straight up so we used that as a basis for the picture. He had these screen printed onto shirts for last years SDCC. The logo took about 30min, and the t-shirt design took around 10hrs to complete.

Some fun Batman & Spider-Man pics I did using the look from "iMucha Lucha!". These were done about a year or so ago all in Illustrator, and they took about 2hrs each.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/OneDisturbedSOB/Mucha%20Lucha/MUCHA-LUCHA-Spider-Man.jpg

A recreation of a Teen Titans pic I saw and loved when the show was starting up. This was done all in Illustrator with the original pic as a template. It took around 12hrs to do because of all of the complex shading some of the characters have. I really like this pic because it reminds me of a 70's poster with the different characters in different colors.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/OneDisturbedSOB/TeenTitans2.jpg

Another recreation of a scene from "The Batman" teaser that was aired about a year ago promoting the show. A friend screen capped this scene because I loved it so much and I went to work to see if I could do it. The screen cap was thumbnail so I'm not sure if it's 100% accurate or not. This only took about 1hr to do. I decided to place the "wireframe" model above the final picture to show the construction. I recreated the logo from the show, dropped it in with the little comic "blurbs" and it was done.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/OneDisturbedSOB/THE-BATMAN-Batmobile-interi.jpg

Batarang from "The Batman". I liked the design and did the drawing while I had the show on pause then made this to make it look like an official conceptual piece. This only took about 20min from start to finish.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/OneDisturbedSOB/The%20Batman/THE-BATMAN-Batarang.jpg

[0neDisturbedSOB]

Drawing I did of Bale's head from Batman Begins. I simplified the shadows and cut these out into stickers....actually turned out pretty good. These took about 1hr to complete.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/OneDisturbedSOB/The%20Batman/Begins-head-sticker.jpg

Some of my personal favorites. Logos & weapon designs I did when I was on my initial redesign kick alittle over a year ago. I had always wanted to see a darker year one style animated show so I did an entire line of redesigns (that started my whole urge to redesign every character). These are some original logos/weapon designs I came up with for fun.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/OneDisturbedSOB/Batman%20Year%20One/BATMAN-YEAR-ONE-Logo.jpg This took about 20min to design, and about 5min to actually execute. I really like the unique shape of this one.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/OneDisturbedSOB/Batman%20Year%20One/Batman-Year-One-alt-logo.jpg Same timeframe as the one above.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/OneDisturbedSOB/Batman%20Year%20One/BATMAN-YEAR-ONE-Batarang-co.jpg This took about 5min to design (since it's basically a variation of the previous one I did) but about a 1.5hrs to execute because I had to research all of the technical jargain to make it look "official".

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/OneDisturbedSOB/Batman%20Year%20One/BATMAN-YEAR-ONE-Mini-Batara.jpg Same timeframe as one above.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/OneDisturbedSOB/Batman%20Year%20One/BATMAN-YEAR-ONE-Grappling-g.jpg Design took about 30min since it's based on his gun from TAS. The other stuff like the technical breakdown took about 45min.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/OneDisturbedSOB/Sketchbook/Ninja-Batman-logo.jpg Original logo concept for my "Ninja Batman" character. The design took about 15min to do and the execution took around 5. I REALLY like this one because it's so unique. It resembles the Batman Beyond logo slightly, but it looks almost dragon-esque.

[0neDisturbedSOB]

Some quick head sketches I did in pen. These didn't take more than 5min each.

Mmmm...the sweet taste of awesome. Man. I've always loved your stuff, SOB. Your skilled faboulously in Illustrator and you can handle a pencil amazingly. I always look forward to seeing what you've got next. Those t-shirt and logo designs are awesome. I'm glad you've finally started your own thread.

Sweet Crap on a stick! Those are some awesome concept drawings.

[Valorman]

amazing stuff.cant wait for more

[0neDisturbedSOB]

Thanks everyone. I started my own thread right before I started doing my initial redesigns and no one seemed to care. After I started doing them people started to take interest, hopefully now that I have some more stuff to throw up here you guys will stick around.

More to come!

DVD disc covers I did for the fan film "Batman: Dead End". These were done about 2 years ago for Sandy Collora (the director).

Sandy and I WERE close friends at one point, sort of like a mentor to me but that all went south about a year ago. I actually worked on "Dead End", even got credited at the end. These are the OFFICIAL labels that he used for the DVDs he made, if you have an official one this label is on it.

MAYBE. I like to do pin-up pieces for fun but I am no where near being called a "comic book artist". I have done very few sequential pieces, it's actually something I'm working towards improving right now. Unfortunately if I were to take on something like what you're asking I would have to be paid for it....I just can't dedicate that much time to something like that unless I'm being compensated for it. I'm not trying to sound like a dick, it's just the way things have to be right now.

Maybe someday if/when I ever "go pro" I'll be able to do things like this for fun, but right now my art is what pays my bills and I barely have enough time to do all of the paying jobs I have right now.

I guess that's a no then.

[The Last Meatbag]

Unless you have about 40 bucks Spider-Bat, I think you should try Coloring and Drawing it on your own, you'll improve your drawing skills and you feel a sense of pride when its all finished, even if your drawing not so great you'll still be commended for your writing :)

[The Spider-Bat]

Unless you have about 40 bucks Spider-Bat

I have about oh say, 25 cents.

[iambilly81]

its alot of work to do a whole book man. you cant do anything else with your day but that book. its hard to do, especially if your not pro and get to do that all day long.

[The Spider-Bat]

But would a signed issue of Fantastic FOur 30th Anniversary do?

[0neDisturbedSOB]

The Batman thread was the one that got me hooked on your art, Id love to see your rendition of the Joker for the next Batman Begins

Thanks. I was pretty proud of my "The Batman artwork" thread. It was really the first thread I had ever created on these boards, and it was at a time when I had A LOT of free time to do things like that for fun. It's funny because I actually got A LOT of freelance work from people that had seen that thread (I posted it here, LOG, and He-Man.org). Sad to say that thread appears to be officially dead now because it's nowhere on these boards anymore...oh well, I was pretty happy that it got suge a huge response (almost 100,000 hits).

Moving on, here is some more artwork....

Sketches I did based on one of my favorite games/characters; Rau from "Mark of Kri". This was done about 2 1/2 years ago (when the game came out) with blue pencil and sharpie.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/OneDisturbedSOB/Sketchbook/markofkri.jpg

Sketch I did of Tom Welling from "Smallville". This was done about 2-3 years ago with blue pencil. I think I went a little too heavy around his eyes because it looks like he's wearing eyeshadow...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/OneDisturbedSOB/Sketchbook/Smallville01.jpg

Another game inspired sketch I did. This is from "Prince of Persia Warrior Within". I loved the cover art so much I wanted to sketch it out. This was done ALL with a bic pen and a sharpie marker (as is evident by the mistakes).

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/OneDisturbedSOB/Sketchbook/POP01.jpg

Creature designs I did from a script that Sandy Collora gave me entitled "Hunter Prey". These were the aliens from the script. Done all in blue pencil in about 20min...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/OneDisturbedSOB/Sketchbook/HunterPrey.jpg

[The Last Meatbag]

I love the game the Mark of Kri one of the greatest games ever in my opinion, I love the art style of it. It reminds me of a disney movie, with a lot of blood.

[The Last Meatbag]

Do you usually just use a bic marker pen and a sharpie for your work? Or do you pencil it out first?

[0neDisturbedSOB]

But would a signed issue of Fantastic FOur 30th Anniversary do?

Sorry man but unfortunately the phone company doesn't accept that as a payment method. I would do it yourself like "Spork" said, it'll improve your own skills.

I told my girlfriend last night that in no more than 3 years I want to be able to turn in portfolios to people/companies at the SDCC in the hopes of getting some professional work. Right now I just don't think "I'm there" and I don't want to turn anything in unless I feel 100% positive it's my best work.

[0neDisturbedSOB]

Do you usually just use a bic marker pen and a sharpie for your work? Or do you pencil it out first?

Most of the time I do sketches I use a basic black bic pen and sharpie marker. If I'm going to do an actual "drawing" that I might want to frame, or give to someone I'll use blue pencil, but then again I've been known to use pen on those too.....I don't know why pen just rolls smoother for me.

More updates....

My first official "photo manips" of the new Superman costume. The first one is the way I would've done it, just some SLIGHT adjustments in size and color. The second one is a nod to the 1930's Fleischer look. I did these right when the picture of the suit was released and they took about 1hr or so each. Not bad for a first timer eh?

Weird looking Joker pic I did. Not sure why he came out like this, but he did. I was trying to do an almost characature of the Joker but I didn't quite get it. This was done in about 30min with pen, sharpie and letraset markers.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/OneDisturbedSOB/Sketchbook/Joker-charicature.jpg

This is a Harley pic I did awhile back as a freelance job for some girl that wanted it as a tattoo. She wanted the pose from the "HUSH" toy line, but she wanted the mallet changed into an axe. This sketch was done VERY quickly, something like 10min while I was talking to her over the phone. The bottom is how it turned out once I cleaned it up in Illustrator, which took around 2hrs.

That's it for now, still have a ton of more stuff to post later on but it'll have to wait until Monday because I'M OFF TO THE CON!

[0neDisturbedSOB]

Some old stuff....

These ARE NOT original pieces. The Ghost Rider was the last page to a mini comic I got a few years back, the Resident Evil was the cover to a PSM I got in '97 and the Superman was a page from a McGuinness book a few years back. I loved all of these pictures and at the time I wondered "could I do that?" so I tried...


Done in '97 with a #2 pencil on copy paper in my science class. In all it took about 3 weeks (done ONLY in science class) I served many hours of detention for this one.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/OneDisturbedSOB/Drawings/Resident_Evil_2.jpg

Done in 2001 with a mechanical pencil on some bristol board. Took about 2hrs to complete.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/OneDisturbedSOB/Drawings/Ghost_Rider01.jpg

I believe this was done in 2001-2002 with a mechanical pencil on bristol board. Took around 3hrs to complete.

That's some great work, ODSOB. Actually, that's pretty much how I trained myself to draw ... by redoing the covers of some of my favorite books like Amazing Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, Uncanny X-Men, Superman, Batman, Brave and the Bold and Justice League of America.

[0neDisturbedSOB]

A lot of people do it that way. I've heard people like Jim Lee, Todd McFarlane, Adam Hughes...etc say that they would draw panels from their favorite artist's books as a way to teach themselves certain things. I do enough of my own stuff to be ok with seeing a drawing and thinking "I wonder if I could do that?"

[ComicChick]

Time for an update...

I posted this in the DC redesign thread last week,

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/OneDisturbedSOB/Ninja-Batman-full-body.jpg

and now it's time for me to do the next logical character....THE JOKER.

Here's the original sketch I did, so now I'm going to color it in Illustrator. Thought I'd do a step by step deal since a lot of people are asking how to do vector based artwork.

Sketch:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/OneDisturbedSOB/NinjaJokerb_w.jpg

And now for a little touch of Illustrator. I'm going to time myself to see how fast I can actually do this. I'm starting on Monday 8/1/05 at 9:15am

[0neDisturbedSOB]

Finished the line art fairly quickly. It's now 9:35 and I'm ready to begin the coloring process.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/OneDisturbedSOB/Joker-01.jpg

First I turn all of the outlined areas that will be filled with a solid color, solid (in this case red) so I can distinguish lines from fills.

*I know he looks weird now, but you're looking at the early "wire frame" model...this will all make sense once I'm finished.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/OneDisturbedSOB/Joker-02.jpg

Now I start changing the red fills to the actual fill colors I intend to use. In this instance I am going to keep with the no black outline policy like I did on the Batman one, and make the highlights on his face a kind of "sickly green". This doesn't mean the final product will end up looking like this....just color as I go like I normally do.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/OneDisturbedSOB/Joker-03.jpg

[Mr. Marko]

Man, SOB, that is AWESOME work!! Would you mind doing a vector for this guy? This one right here (http://www.superherohype.com/forums/showthread.php?t=190711)

[0neDisturbedSOB]

Now that he's been colored all that's left is to create a "clipping mask" (CTRL + 7) to make the pupils to line up with the actual eyeballs, darken the green a bit so it's more visable, and add in the background.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/OneDisturbedSOB/Joker-05.jpg

For this background I just used Batman from my previous pic and converted him to all black. I did some QUICK line art to make the background trees/mountains...nothing spectacular. I also added in some odd design pattern to his jacket to help break up the overwhelming amount of black.

I wanted to make this Joker resemble a Kabuki so I ended up having to drop the green hair and purple clothing (although if you look closely you can see the purple lining inside his jacket). Gone are the red lips and acid squirting flowers (obviously since this is 1865). He now has a much more subtle look to him since this Joker would have to actually paint his face white before he went out.....no freak chemical accidents here.

[The Last Meatbag]

That is awesome, are you going to make a bio? Please say yes...

[Valorman]

very nice.youve done a great job once again

[0neDisturbedSOB]

That is awesome, are you going to make a bio? Please say yes...

Yes I am. I also plan on doing a full body shot just like I did with Batman.

[The Last Meatbag]

cool, you gotta give him some kinda weapon though, The Joker isnt the best hand to hand combatant

[0neDisturbedSOB]

Different time, different setting, different Joker.

[0neDisturbedSOB]

And for my next trick....

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/OneDisturbedSOB/Superman-02.jpg

This actually only took me about an hour and a half so far and so far it's coming a long nicely. I'm sure most of you can tell what it is....right??

sweet joker:up: i didn't really like your sketch at first but colored and the details i dig it.

[0neDisturbedSOB]

Ok so here is my latest "trick". Never done anything in this style (the multi toned colores) so I thought I'd give it a shot. When I began the picture I thought it looked like crap, but now that's finished I'm thinking it's pretty good for a first try, and it only took 4hrs to do.

WHOA!!!:eek:

Hey SOB, I've started using illustrator yet can't seem to find a fill tool. Any help?

[Mr. Marko]

Is Illustrator free? How do I get it??? This stuff is great.

I...I love you. :eek:

I know you probably get enough requests to choke a donkey, but like I asked in one of the redesign threads, do you think you could try your hand on Blade?

[taskmaster]

And Taskmaster and Deadpool please, Darknightjrk stealing my requests grrrrrrrrr :supes: :up:

Hey SOB, I've started using illustrator yet can't seem to find a fill tool. Any help?

Here is a screencapture from my screen in Illustrator.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/OneDisturbedSOB/Superman%20Returns/Picture0001.jpg

Notice how his "S" emblem is selected (blue outline on it) and the FILL has one shade of dark red while the STROKE has another? this means that the shape of his "S" is filled with the lighter shade, and is outlined with a darker shade.

FILL = FILLING AN OBJECT WITH A COLOR

STROKE = GIVING AN OBJECT AN OUTLINE

Cool, thanks. Another quick thing. While i'm using the pen tool, its a chunky line as opposed to your lines in the joker pic you did. Just wondering what I do to make the lines thinner and how to change the colour of the lines.

[logan_weapon_x]

Nevermind bought that last question. I'm just trying to forge ahead on this great program. I just notcied how to do it. I just have to sit down and work out what all the features are.

[0neDisturbedSOB]

You need to make sure the STROKE is selected which means that the stroke icon (pictured above) is INFRONT of the FILL icon (see how in my pic the fill icon overlaps the other icon? that means that it's selected).

As for shrinking the weight you need to reduce the stroke weight. Look to the right of the screen capture at the 5th tool area...see how it says "Stroke" and beneath it, it says "weight" with a 3....that means the weight of the line is a 3pt. All you need to do is make it 2 or 1 to make it thinner.

[logan_weapon_x]

Thanks again. Its great you're willing to help us out with this stuff.

[0neDisturbedSOB]

We all learn as we go. Everyone picks up things from different people here....it's the nature of the beast.

[Mr. Marko]

Again, I ask, how do I get ahold of Illustrator? Is it free?

[Drakon]

No, it's not free. It's an Adobe program.

[WildCard]

i downloaded a 30 day free trial

[Hades]

Download it from a P2P program..

Having a bit of a problem. I'm working on this in Illustrator:

Now this is a good size and good quality, yet upon going to actual view it turns up as this size:

Please don't tell me for the love of god, that i'm gonna have to restart the whole thing.

[BBT]

I use Macromedia Freehand and I believe Adobe Illustrator is similar. If so group all the layers together, then hold the shift key down and pull the image to the size you want.

[Bill 9000]

That's the wonderful thing about working with a vector-based drawing program. You can do pretty much anything you want to an image and it won't lose it's crispness. By the way, for the record, Coreldraw (my program of choice) works the same way. Grouping all the objects together will allow you to resize everything at once.

It appeared large because you were zoomed in on it. Follow these steps to enlarge it....

CTRL + A = Select all

Double click on the icon BENEATH the pencil icon, this is the SCALE TOOL.

Enter a percentage. To enlarge you must add 100 to whatever number you want to enlarge it by (if you want to enlarge it by 10% then you'd type 110%)

If you don't enlarge it enough you can always press CTRL + D which will duplicate your last action which in this case will be increasing it.

OR

You could just enlarge it by an accurate percentage. In your case I would try 200%

Hope this helps....

[taskmaster]

So, what are you gonna be working on next

coughTaskmaster or Bladecough

sorry I've been a little sick:)

[0neDisturbedSOB]

I think I MIGHT try Blade but I REALLY like his look from the first film....very basic, but very practical. I didn't like when they started giving him symbols and all that BS on his armor. To me Blade is a lot like the Punisher in the sense that he's out to do a job, not out to look "cool" and appealing to people....it just happens with his attitude.

[taskmaster]

Maybe you could give that back to basics feel to Taskmaster.

[DarkKnightJRK]

To me Blade is a lot like the Punisher in the sense that he's out to do a job, not out to look "cool" and appealing to people....it just happens with his attitude.

I can kinda hear you on the symbols and stuff, but I see it as more warrior code. In his mind, his weapons mean everything to him, so he has to make them look their best. It's kinda that mentality, to me, at least.

But I LOVED the red shirt and inside the jacket that they did in Trinity.

[0neDisturbedSOB]

I'm talking about his overall LOOK, not the design of his weapons. I'm all about making the weapons look cool because they basically mean life or death for him so why not make them the best both in use and design?

I wasn't a fan of his look in Trinity. I liked in the original film he just wore armor with no special stylized buckles or designs....basic black militaristic armor. To me, when you start making these characters too stylish they lose their sense of believability and become too "cartoony".

It's like in Batman Begins....the whole movie worked so well because of the practicality to it. The suit, the belt, the cowl, even the car was made completely realistic, like someone could actually put that stuff on and do that.

Just my feeling on the whole subject. IF I do Blade he will look NOTHING like he did in the last 2 films.

Yeah that worked wonders, thanks.

[0neDisturbedSOB]

This might help..

CTRL + A = Select all (everything on the page)

CTRL + C = Copy

CTRL + V = Paste

CTRL + F = Paste in front

CTRL + B = Paste behind

CTRL + Z = Undo (undoes things you've done, I think you can undo 100x)

CTRL + SHIFT + Z = Redo (Same as above)

CTRL + J = Join (Joins 2 objects together)

CTRL + D = Duplicate (If you move something, you can select a new object and do a CTRL + D and it will move it to the exact same place as the last item you moved)

CTRL + 7 = Creates a clipping mask (read up on this)

CTRL + SHIFT + O = Outline (outlines text so you can manipulate it, but makes the wording un edititable)

CTRL + X = Cut

CTRL + K = Brings up your preferences menu. This allows you to adjust your settings in Illustrator

CTRL + Y = Wireframe. This allows you to view the technical construction of your artwork

CTRL + T = Brings up your text tool menu


That's all I can think of for now. I would HIGHLY suggest you learn these "quick keys" because it can cut your time in half.

[logan_weapon_x]

Yeah I've already started learning them. I love this program so much more than Photoshop.

[0neDisturbedSOB]

Me too.

[0neDisturbedSOB]

Ok so for my next trick I guess I will be doing Blade.

[RAMORE]

Was that blade or MoonKnight!? ;)

[0neDisturbedSOB]

BLADE, I at least know something about him. Never really followed Moonknight.

[iambilly81]

wouldnt mind seeing your take on blade. great superman though.

always injoy looking at another fellow illustration artist.

[0neDisturbedSOB]

Yeah no kidding, I was beginning to think I was part of a dying "breed".

[taskmaster]

It'll be great to see you take on blade.

[Mr. Marko]

Sweet deal! Blade! Blade! Blade!

*looks around, then runs away*

[iambilly81]

Yeah no kidding, I was beginning to think I was part of a dying "breed".


haha, we should form a club.....me, you, and a bunch of people asking questions, haha. i dont mind the questions, but i get them alot, and i see you do too. ha, an illustrator help thread....hmmmmmm

[0neDisturbedSOB]

No kidding....as long as I am addressed as "Mr. OneDisturbedSOB"...I could even write me name on the chalkboard.

[Spidey-Bat]

[0neDisturbedSOB]

Superman & Flash for sure. At some point I MAY do a GL

An illustrator help thread would be great. I've been using Photoshop for a while but am far more impressed with illustrator.

[Drakon]

I've been working on a Photoshop Tutorial Thread, and I would LOVE to see an Illustrator thread.

[0neDisturbedSOB]

I'll trade someone an Illustrator help thread for a Photoshop help thread.

[TheReverseFlash]

I need a Poser help thread.

[Drakon]

That makes two of us. I just got it yesterday.

[Valorman]

i need a money help thread

[Bill 9000]

i need a money help thread
LOL! Don't we all!

[Shampoo!]

Yeah I've already started learning them. I love this program so much more than Photoshop.I despise Photoshop, now. It's so limited... Illustrator just has so many options. So many abilities. So much control. And, even if you create a picture at 1 inch by 1 inch, you can stretch it to 100 inches by 100 inches and keep the same look. Smaller file sizes. I hate photoshop. I hate it so much!

[0neDisturbedSOB]

I wouldn't say I HATE Photoshop, but I have definitely began to use it less and less. Aside from the fact that I'm WAY better versed in Illustrator, Photoshop feels a little too restricted to me at times. I still use it because it's faster to throw some color on a picture in PS than in AI, but when I want to sit down and do "serious coloring" I always turn to Illustrator.

I would like to get more into PS though, learn how to color better...etc. So again I pose the question WHERE IS THE PHOTOSHOP HELP THREAD??

[Spidey-Bat]

Superman & Flash for sure. At some point I MAY do a GL

Any villians or was Joker just it?

[0neDisturbedSOB]

Haven't done any others, but I MIGHT. I did a really quick two-face sketch awhile back but I think I either threw it away or lost it.

[0neDisturbedSOB]

So I'm trying out a new Avatar using my new Superman pic, but right now it looks like crap. The picture is too long to fit it all in the 50x50pxl box, so would any of the avatar pros like to make me a custome one? ideally I'd like it to go from the left of the picture and move to the right so everything is visible (a moving avatar basically).

Can anyone help me out?

[The Last Meatbag]

I considered it, but it still wouldn't help. The artwork is rectangular in shape, and the avatar box is square....it still wouldn't fit in what I want to show. I changed it from my artwork to the regular pic of Routh, but ideally I'd like to have my own custom made avatar.

I've asked in the avatar request threads, maybe someone can help me there.

[spiderfan08]

Why don't you have it scroll from his feet to his head?

[0neDisturbedSOB]

Because I don't plan on keeping this avatar. It's only being used until someone can help me out with my actual drawing of Routh.

[Spidey-Bat]

well, your avatar doesn't have to be 50x50 or 75x75. Those are just the limits.

[0neDisturbedSOB]

Yeah but making it smaller would make the picture look even worse.

[0neDisturbedSOB]

My latest 'project'.....

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/OneDisturbedSOB/Superman%20Returns/IM000327.jpg

Custom made Superman Returns style vinyl sticker. This baby's made of a 2-layered 2mil vinyl that is UV resistant and self adhesive. Stuck one on my fridge....next to all of the other Superman paraphernalia. The colors are lot duller than the normal emblem to resemble the new, darker color tones of the suit.

[Valorman]

me and my buddy do that on the side, vinyle stickers n magnets. do you have a cutter, or someone you know?

[Drakon]

You should offer some vinyls and what not as a prize to the winners of a contest one month, 0DSOB.

[0neDisturbedSOB]

me and my buddy do that on the side, vinyle stickers n magnets. do you have a cutter, or someone you know?

I have one. The only reason I started getting into this was because the guys in the kiosks at the mall are so over priced it's ridiculous. I went in there one time and asked the guy to cut me a Superman sticker for my car that was about 12" overall. He turned around and told me "That'll be $25". I looked at him like "You're out of your f**king mind if you think I'm paying $25 for a STICKER".

I started looking up how to do it online, and messing with the one at work and once I discovered how easy it was I invested into one of my own. I normally cut them for friends and family, and since I started I've built somewhat of a library, but I haven't ever really thought of selling them, and if I did I would DEFINITELY be WAY cheaper then those a**holes in the kiosks.

Since this sticker is "in color" and dual layered it takes a little while to make. Once the red area is cut, it has to be hand applied to the gold vinly, then hand trimmed in the diamond shape. Not including the actual cutting of the vinyl it takes around 15min to make one.

I would love to be able to sell custom made stickers since you can pretty much make a sticker out of ANYTHING, I'm just not sure where to market my "services". If anyone here is interested let me know, I've already got a ton of DC/Marvel logos cut, and I've already made about 14 of these Superman Returns decals. I'd probably have to charge at least $5 a pop for the Superman logos just to cover the cost of the vinyl.

Just thought I'd share.

[iambilly81]

here is his site, some of the stuff on there is my stuff. most of what ive done for him isnt on there, youll notice the one punisher i did and some other stuff ive done for friends n customers. didnt mean to steal customers away from you by showing you this if i did. just thought you would like to see.

[0neDisturbedSOB]

Can't steal customers if they're aren't any to begin with.

[0neDisturbedSOB]

I'm actually working on some stickers right now. Trying to build somewhat of a "catalog" to show.

[0neDisturbedSOB]

Here are some decals I made within the last 2hrs. These are for my fellow Masters of the Universe supporters.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/OneDisturbedSOB/Stickers/MOTU-stickers1.jpg

1) Old school He-Man
2) New Adventures of He-Man (the space one)
3) 2002 He-Man
4) 2002 He-Man Alternate
5) The Horde (Hordak)

*UPDATE: The variant design He-Man wore in the 2002 show was added.

[The Last Meatbag]

kickass

[Colt]

I'm curious. How can you sell those Punisher and superman stickers without getting sued. Aren't they trademarked products? Isn't it illegal to male money of those?

[0neDisturbedSOB]

It's the same as going to the mall and buying them. Marvel/DC isn't going to go after every single kid making stickers or magnets in their basement. If I were to mass produce these and market them, then they probably would.

[Colt]

thanx for clearing that out :up:

[iambilly81]

I'm curious. How can you sell those Punisher and superman stickers without getting sued. Aren't they trademarked products? Isn't it illegal to male money of those?

as far as im concerned, its the same as fan art........if marvel wants to sue me or SOB over 5 bucks........ they need to get there stuff straight.

and its not like we are selling them for 100$ each. and if fan art was against the rules, this section of the boards would be gone.

[0neDisturbedSOB]

I think it has more to do with not wanting to waste time going after small time people. I mean it's pretty clear how many MILLIONS of people duplicate these on a daily basis. Anyway, who cares?

[Colt]

I was just curious, considering that you can't make any money of fanfilms, either.

[0neDisturbedSOB]

No, it's a shame too because I've seen some kickass fan films in my day.

[logan_weapon_x]

Hey OneDisturbedSOB, hope you don't mind me posting these here, but no one checks out my thread and you gave me a helping hand so I wanted to show you what I came up with:

http://img66.imageshack.us/img66/2996/flashlogo6oz.jpg

I did this in half an hour. It was an idea for the logo for the flash movie that would appear on merchandise for the film.

http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/2734/devils3eb.png

This is an idea I had for a Captain Spaulding window sticker.

[0neDisturbedSOB]

I like The Flash one a lot....reminds me of the marketing material used for the old TV show.

Not a big fan of the whole "House of 1,000 corpses" or "Devil's rejects" but the drawing you did came out nicely. The only thing is that it would have to be covnerted in order to be cut out on vinyl for a sticker.

[logan_weapon_x]

Thanks for the input.

[0neDisturbedSOB]

Check it out. I took someone's advice.

PM me and we'll talk.

[Kid Avenger]

You disturbed SOB...I envy you! I'm trying to learn how to draw, but its tough. The art you do in 5-10 minutes would equal my best art ever.

Keep up the good work and good luck if you decide to go pro!

[0neDisturbedSOB]

Hey thanks a lot. I would love to someday "go pro", but I still have a LONG way to go.

In the meantime here's a new decal I did for a friend. He wanted a decal of the new He-Man sword to put it on a display case in his store. The drawing itself didn't take that long, but the actual cutting of vinyl took FOREVER. I think the final result ended up measuring 30". I thought it came out pretty nice.

Really digging the colored Returns logo, and the Begins logo. I might have to order them.

[0neDisturbedSOB]

People really seem to like the "SR" logo the most. I've had a ton of requests for those since I put them up.

If anyone's interested PM me with color,size and quantity.

you're missing the 1989 Batman symbol

[0neDisturbedSOB]

Not a fan of it.

[The Last Meatbag]

Its nothing really that special

[0neDisturbedSOB]

Yeah I much prefer the Begins logo. I like that one because it reminds me of aviation wings that a pilot gets....looks more "official" to me. The rest of them were just basic ones with the exception of the 2 original logos I made.

Never a fan of the yellow/black logo.

[Super Kal]

yeah, the Begins logo looks really good, but honestly, I prefer the one right next to it and the one if you go down and then to the right

[0neDisturbedSOB]

The 2 on the second row (middle and to the right) are of my own design. The middle one is for my "Ninja Batman" and the other one was for my "Year One" designs. I actually had the Y1 logo printed onto a shirt....turned out pretty good.

Pretty much anything can be turned into a decal, it just has to be redrawn correctly.

[lionhart]

Is the Alex Ross Batman symbol only?

[RAMORE]

SWEET! How much for that one does it come in color?

[0neDisturbedSOB]

Is the Alex Ross Batman symbol only?

Yes. It's not the "Dead End" symbol because it's missing the Predator's 3 dots.

[iambilly81]

love the heman and the cap shield. the shield is so simple, but, you know exactly what your lookin at as soon as you see it. love it. makes me want to start makin stickers again.

As of now it only comes in a solid color (you can pick), but that's not to say it won't be red,white,blue down the line.

Pricing depends on size/quantity usually.

[Mr. Marko]

Nice work!! Do you have anything X-Men related?

[0neDisturbedSOB]

A few X-Men logos, but that's about it.

I'll probably wait for custom requests to do indepth stuff like headshots...etc.

[0neDisturbedSOB]

Few updates....

[Dr Doom]

Hey SOB, I'm interested in a Doom sticker for the back of my truck. About how much do you think this would run me? My back window is tinted so black wouldn't look that great, can you use white or hopefully some type of metallic grey?

[0neDisturbedSOB]

Depends on how detailed it is and what size it is.

Metallic gray huh? I have just the thing, it's a metallic silver vinyl that reacts different to light. Sometimes it looks metallic, sometimes it looks flat gray, and sometimes it looks white...it's cool.

It is a bit more expensive though, it's a lot thicker than normal vinyl.

Give me some details and we'll talk.

[Dr Doom]

The thing is I dont know of a picture that could easily be transformed. I need it to be about a foot tall. It could be just his head or maybe a picture of him clenching his cloak.

[0neDisturbedSOB]

Find a pic and we'll figure it out. ANY picture can be made into a decal, it just has to be simplified in most cases. For instance, I could do the pic in your avatar if it were bigger.

[Dr Doom]

Thats so wierd, thats exactly the picture I wanted:

[Dr Doom]

Possibly with this at the bottom:

You know, without the wall and stuff :D

[0neDisturbedSOB]

PM me and we'll go over specifics. Shouldn't be too hard but it depends on what you're willing to spend that'll determine size/type of vinyl.

[Dr Doom]

Are you there?

[0neDisturbedSOB]

huh?

[0neDisturbedSOB]

I took the liberty Doom....

[RAMORE]

Love that doom logo:)

[0neDisturbedSOB]

Thanks. Only took about 30min to recreate.

[0neDisturbedSOB]

Just finished this one. Took around an hour to redraw. Personally I like option B better. But we'll see what the person who asked for it says.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/OneDisturbedSOB/Stickers/Wolverine-stickers.jpg

[spiderfan08]

option B is definitley better.

[0neDisturbedSOB]

I thought so too. We'll see what the guy says.

[Drakon]

I third that. Option B.

[Colt]

I have to agree. The 2'nd one is definitely the coolest.

[The Last Meatbag]

Oprtion A has too much black, they way you make stickers reminds me of Iambillys vector art

[0neDisturbedSOB]

I think I'm going to start building an actual "Catalog" of graphics I can turn into decals. I've checked online and the ones I've seen are either really low quality, or way too expensive. The whole purpose of this was because I didn't want to pay ridiculous prices for STICKERS, but lately I've been getting a lot of requests for certain things (Doom, Wolverine, Spider-Man).

[0neDisturbedSOB]

Oprtion A has too much black, they way you make stickers reminds me of Iambillys vector art

Probably because we both use Illustrator, and because both are forms of vector art.

[iambilly81]

yeah, you copy cat, haha, joke..

do you ever have problems with the lines being to thin? my cutter yells at me all the time becouse of it.

[0neDisturbedSOB]

No way I've been using Illustrator longer so THERE!

I'm usually careful about the lines, and most of the time I'll make the image larger so the lines cut properly.

[iambilly81]

word...........................and you have cooties.........

[0neDisturbedSOB]

No, girls have cooties......duh.

[iambilly81]

bah, tricked again. ill get you some day SOB.........so help me...

[RAMORE]

Definately B version. Drakon why are you mad?

[0neDisturbedSOB]

Still building the "catalog". This one took about 8min to complete.

[Dr Doom]

I took the liberty Doom....

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/OneDisturbedSOB/Stickers/Von-Doom-Industries.jpg

Yeah, thats great. I dont need Doom on it. I'd like it to be about the size it is on the screen.

[0neDisturbedSOB]

PM sent to you Doom.

[0neDisturbedSOB]

Everyone was right. The guy wanted option B for his wolverine sticker. I actually had my first 2 "customers" yesterday, Doom that ordered the "Von Doom" sticker and this guy from the He-Man.org forums that ordered 4 Wolverine stickers.

Not bad for a first day....if it continues I'll be set.

[lionhart]

If you can add "Frank Castle" under the Punny Skull, I'll order one.

[0neDisturbedSOB]

Got a font in mind?

[lionhart]

Copperplate Gothic Light, have FRANK CASTLE written above the skull and THE PUNISHER below it.

[0neDisturbedSOB]

[lionhart]

B, pm me so we can work it out.

[iambilly81]

damn, i need to start showing my stickers on my thread, dont mean to take customers but could use the cash. i like your stuff alot though, very clean, im sure it cuts great.

[0neDisturbedSOB]

Put your stuff up in your thread. No harm in some "friendly competition"....this is just something I can do for fun to help people save some money on going to those overpriced kiosks/stores.

Surprisingly enough, still no bids on my Superman Returns decal on eBay...oh well.

[iambilly81]

my friend tried gettin his stuff on ebay to sell, and they didnt, for comicfans, this is probly your best bet.

[0neDisturbedSOB]

The decals I've seen on eBay look like s**t. The Superman ones are all sloppy and jagged.

[0neDisturbedSOB]

Here's one I just finished that lionhart requested. This one only took about 5min to redraw...very simple, yet I think it looks great as just a solid.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/OneDisturbedSOB/Stickers/TDK.jpg

[Mr. Marko]

Hey, do you have a site for decals and stuff SOB? Post a link or something!!!

[0neDisturbedSOB]

Actually working on it as we speak. For now my "catalog" will be posted in here. I'll work up a price chart soon and post it.

Got my 6th order today.

If you're interested in something just let me know.

[lionhart]

Yeah, SOB is a pretty good silouette, maybe you can post it in that thread too. I'll buy it.

[0neDisturbedSOB]

Maybe I will....

[0neDisturbedSOB]

Update to my Superman stickers...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v78/OneDisturbedSOB/Stickers/Superman-stickers01.jpg

Added the Kingdom Come and "Electric Superman" logos.

[insurgo]

Saw your display in the poster rack at Beach/Ball. Almost picked one up, but couldnt decide. I will, though.

[0neDisturbedSOB]

Ah a fellow Beach-Baller eh?

Yeah I cut a TON for Carl (some for his car) but he doesn't really direct people to them. Buy one from him, it'd thrill him to know he didn't waste his money.

[Drakon]

Nice idea, adding Supes BLUE and Kingdom Come to the mix.


Definately B version. Drakon why are you mad?

Sorry it took so long to reply. It's a long story.

[0neDisturbedSOB]

Ok so as I work on an actual site for this, I will post my "price chart" that I came up with. This is based on a lot of research I did from custom vinyl places like kiosks and stores. Most of them start out in the $7.00 range for about a 4" decal, so naturally to garner interest I have to be cheaper. Here is what I came up with....

Starting at 4" (Vertical or Horizontal)

Basic vinyl - $5.00

Thicker "Metallic Vinyl" (reacts differently to sunlight) -$6.50

Each additional 1" increment costs $1.00, for the metallic vinly it's $1.50

Dual layered decals (like my colored Superman ones) $3.00 IN ADDITION TO NORMAL PRICING ABOVE (covers the price of using 2 layers of vinyl) - ONLY COMES IN BASIC VINYL

Custom decals (consists of anything I haven't already created)

Regular basic design (Such as the DKR Batman, logos...etc) - $5.00

Detailed designs (Such as group shots, intricate details..etc) - $7-$10.00 depending on the amount of detail/time.

Hope this makes sense. Any questions feel free to ask.

[0neDisturbedSOB]

Thanks. Thought I'd add some variety to those who prefer a different take on Superman even though I'm not one of them.

More coming including Captain America headshot, Spawn, misc. logos and a lot more.
