Black Superman's Return

Don't dispare. I think you can pull it off just fine. I can see what you're trying to do with the lighting in that piece. Keep workin at it.

The sorceress is awesome.

Thanks Syncos. lol, it's more old dog new trick for me though. I'm set in my ways of doing things I guess.

Hey guys, I haven't posted in a month so I just wanted to update anyone who's interested. Like I said before I'm trying to change my approach to coloring. If anyone struggles like me I'd highly recommend checking out professional colorist Lummage's youtube channel. The guy's a genius and has numerous tutorials out there. This one in particular opened my eyes.

So I've gone back and recolored all of the pages I've been working on. It's taking me 3X as long though because I'm also (re)inking the lines digitally to give a cleaner crisper look.

Example: old

New

I also got inspired by the latest few issues of "He-man - The Eternity War"


My version of Evil-Lyn the Sorceress of Horokoth.

Finished w/ the flat colors. The Grey-ish Purple skin just doesn't do it for me so I'm giving her a more natural skin tone. I also didn't add the fangs because honestly I think it looks dumb and neither things scream Evil-Lyn to me.

Just to give insight on why I'm (re)inking my works I think the cleaner lines lends to the colors being able to blend better. Also I love David R. Wilkins' version of Evil-Lyn and used his green-eyed version.

Small update. Just playing w/ the color palette.

 

[blksuperman2]

Pretty much done. I may go back and tweak a few things here and there.

So, someone contacted me on deviantart and asked me to do a commissioned piece. I don't really do commissions but He (or she?) wanted Teela vs Evil-Lyn.

1. As you can tell I'm really into MOTU stuff right now.
2. My current comic won't have any action scenes for another 4-5 pages.
3. I haven't drawn Teela in years.

So I've taken the commission. He (or she?) has paid for a 2-page story arc but I'll probably throw in another 2 pages and color it for free. Tee heee hee, don't let him (or her?) know.

Anyway here's a panel from the comic.

An update on the commission pieces.

The premise is that the 2 are supposed to be fighting in a Horse type temple and the Horse gods become angry and turned them into Minotaurs.

Blocked out some panels

 

[ComicChick]

i can definitely see improvement in your coloring

 

[blksuperman2]

Thanks ComicChick. I appreciate it.

 

[blksuperman2]

Finished blocking out the first panel. I'm inking the other panels again to give it a more even look.

 

[blksuperman2]

Blocking done, now to try and color this bad boy.

[blksuperman2]

Decided to go back and color Princess Glimmer vs Princess Ariel.

 

[ComicChick]

i like the color palette there

 

[blksuperman2]

Thanks CC.

 

[blksuperman2]

Still playing around w/ colors and layouts. I keep going back and forth tweaking one picture and then realizing I need to do the same thing to the other pictures. I hope to have the first 7 pages posted soon.

 

[blksuperman2]

First couple of pages of comic idea I've had in my head for a while. The comic will be He-man-centric but will involve pretty much every cartoon character from the '80s. Hope you enjoy.
