I like on this one how the hard outline isn't always black... I've never really thought to do that, but I think after the current pic im working on I'm gonna play around with that idea.

very cool pic around! I love all the metal... very cool.

[Vartha]

Well keep in mind what type of metal your color when coloring. Some metals do give off a black like hardline.

My take on the new Thor Costume so far. I drew this at work form memory, and could remember how the wrist bands looked. lol

[Mattchew]

^ really great

nice work on the new costume mate

btw i'm donblake on marvel boards..

[Vartha]

Ah ok Hiya DB! Thanks, Will work more on it tomorrow.

[Vartha]

Bit of the inking update,

[Mattchew]

really enjoying the prog!

[Vartha]

I like to show how old school art progesses.
I do have to admit I do it a bit different, I ink the main character a build a background around the character, unless the background IS the charater.

[Mattchew]

well its is just amazing, and its cool to see it slowly come together.

[Vartha]

Here's the Ink on Thor, now I THINK I may put a bolt of Lightning in the back ground. I haven't done one of Thor with a bolt of lightning.
A few years ago I saw some tv show on lightning, and a bolt had hit the desert fusing the sand together showing the actual FORM of the bolt, it was very cool looking, I've wanted to draw something like it ever since.

Here's a Renaissance Faire Mappe I drew that got puplished in 12,000 papers or so.

This is before I added the street names color and Building numbers.

Back ground added,

nice work man! I like the Thor progress as well... I kinda do the same with backgrounds, inanimate objects aren't my strong suite but I love doing character work.

[Vartha]

Thanks HF!

[Mattchew]

WOW! the background looks so awesome!

[HULKFish]

I can't wait to see what kind of look they give him in the movie!! I remember the quote from Avi Arad or someone being,"It will be Marvel's Lord of the Rings..."

[Vartha]

Well yes Thor is SUPPOSED to be the film Marvel uses to get into Fantasy Films. It's been said in a couple places.
In a way I hope they get whoever designed the Hercules Legendary Journeys Asgard episodes. The look was incredilbe and with a bigger budget I bet that same guy could do better.

Nice job Vartha, I can't wait to see it colored!

Hello everyone.

I believe this is my first post on this site.

I just wanted to know if you could paint this picture for me Vartha?

I know you are doing so many different things, but if it's possible, I would really appreciate it.

Btw, you have some beautiful art.

[Vartha]

I'm flattered Pblimp! At the moment tho, That Odin painting is still in the same spot, I haven't touched it in a while. I'd like to actually use marker and color pencil on yours, but I'm out of Ink on my printer to print out your pic.
I could try after I'm done with the Thor drawing, using the computor tho, got any color examples? PM them to me.

By the way, I grew up in Lake County ILL.

I understand completely.

It's perfectly fine, if you do it on computer only.
I'll take whatever you can do for me.

I'll send you a PM in a minute, detailing his colors.

Btw, it's good to know so much talent comes from Illinois.

[Vartha]

Yeah we're talented in many ways, lol
Here's the color Folks enjoy!

[Mattchew]

amazing as usual! the lightening looks great, and I look the effect of it hitting the ground!

background, character, grass... everything amazing!
