Dukerjay's Art Thread

[Duker Jay]

Alright...I finished colouring this thing as best I could. I still need to learn photoshop but, oh well. I also need a tablet...and a scanner...anyways...

In response to Midknight:
ACAD is a pretty good school. Lots of good instructors. It's one of, if not, the top schools in Canada and I would guess North America. I'm not bragging, this is just what I've heard...remember Todd McFarlane went here for a couple of years and also, John Byrne way back when. I think, more than anything I'm lucky because I happen to live in the same city as the school.

I don't know what I'll do after school. Comics would be a dream job, though.

Cool. I'll look into it. I'm yet yto be impressed by Tood McFarlane at all...but yeah, cool.

Wolvie/Thing is looking cool. The colors are very nice.

once you go tablet, you never go back. Good stuff. I'm not a fan of the black background, but it's not my choice. I like to bring the colors out more by making a light background.

again, just personal preference, it reflects nothing in the characters and drawing. Keep it up!

 

[Danalys]

yep definetely need to see more of this.

Are you kidding? The artwork of today may be a lot better than McFarlane's work, but he revolutionized the Spider-Man comics. Compare a pre-McFarlane copy of ASM to any McFarlane issue. You'll notice the difference. The man's a genious.

I just lost all respect for you as an artist.

Why would you say that? We wouldn't have the modern Spider-Man poses like the one in the first post if McFarlane didn't have his crack at Spider-Man. Like I said, since he had his shot at Spidey there's been people who've built on his ideas and done it a million times better, and that's why Erik Larson got ASM while McFarlane got moved over to the crappy Web of Spider-Man. McFarlane's art in itself may not be incredible, but his ideas that were first fleshed out in his art were incredible. I mean he invented the look of the webbing, for Pete's sake. Before he came on Spidet swung from net, not strings of webbing.

LOL, that's all I was saying, anyway. McFarlane's work is awful in light of the artists out there today, I just meant if you compare what he did to what came before him, you'd see how he was a very necessary step on the ladder to the evolving look of Spidey.

And man, I love the art in this thread, but my fav is still the skeleton. I just can't get over how much that rocks.

Got a tablet last night and I was just kind of playing around on it today. I'm gonna have a lot of fun with this thing.

Now, I'm just waiting for my scanner...

 

[k-dub]

Oy! Cracken good work mate!

 

[Duker Jay]

OK, this tablet is gonna be trouble. It's so much fun, that I don't want to do anything else.

Anyway, here's a little something...

Way too much fun...how did I ever get along before?

[Quentin Black]

Great stuff!

 

[Duker Jay]

I got a scanner recently, so I went back and cleaned this one up.

I wish it was bigger but, oh well.

 

[Duker Jay]

O.K...here's another.
This is something I'm working on for my cousin. I'm still trying to figure out exactly what will fill the open space...I have a few ideas...

 

[Duker Jay]

Did some colouring on this one...

 

[FEAR THE BAT]

Great work. Don't stop bringing us the goods man, it's always cool to see people's art and concepts.

 

[Quietstorm]

Man your artwork is awesome!! I can't wait to see more

 

[Shampoo!]

you really have some quality work in here. oddly enough, the Green Goblin quick sketch is one of my favorites.

 

[Duker Jay]

Another work-in-progress of this Legolas one...

 

[Saph]

I wanna see you do an action scene involving the Hulk -v- spidey.

 

[Cobblepot]

Great stuff!

Thumbs up, by the Fonz!!
