Barrel 'o' CyberMonkeys

Well ive been commenting on these boards for a little while now, so I guess its time for you guys to do the same to my stuff.

Many of these pictures you guys may have already seen because i don't really get a chance (or the motivation) to things for myself (it also doesn't help that I don't have a home computer). Its only since I joined a few forums this year that i've started doing stuff.

Anyways enough with the words.

Heres something i did for deadeyes amalgam contest



Heres a entry to a comic book cover contest for another board im on.



Its bebop and rocksteady




This was my entry to the halloween contest



This is a rancor sith picture that i never finished- the rancor is the son of the one luke killed in return of the jedi. He trained as a sith to get revenge. I may have been on crack when I came up with the idea.

 

yeah- i'm in the processes of trying to give up the smudge tool in photoshop... its been my friend for so long, but you can't get any texture out of it..

The zombie spiderman was my first attempt at actually painting- I think it turned out pretty good...

I love you... and green fonts...


i've started my attempt at this months contest (half way through my pencils). I might put my WIP's of it here because i've had a few enquires about colouring.

 

That has to be the greatest disciption ever of a comic that i have never read
Joe Madureira has probably been the biggest influence on my style over the years. I would have his babies if i could.... or at least let him touch me in my special place..

Thanks man I find your stuff reminds me of me a few years ago- i'm looking forward to seeing how your evil dead picture comes out.

Me and the smudge tool have been going steady for a while now (well a year anyway- thats how long ive been using a tablet). It does make you get RSI and due to the nature of the tool removes all texture- which is something I wanna started adding more to my pics.

As for the book thing- nah- i'm not that cool
I do work for a company that makes video games on occasion- so ive done some character and design design stuff. I would love to do pin ups for a living- but a dont have the persistance to do comic pages

 

i thought i'd save my thread with a kinda work in progress of my entry to this months contest.

Heres the scanned inks. I adjusted the brightness and contrast in photoshop to make it the way i wanted it.



Then I blocked it in. I put each layer on a seperate layer. At this stage im not really worried about what colours I'm going to end up using- because that can come later. Its just a matter of making sure that everything has a colour.

 

Then it's time to start colouring. I knew that the lava cracks were going to be the main source of my light- so i decided to start there.




And some more time later




Til we have finally




Hooray now I can sleep!
