Ross Hughes Colors Thread

I hate how they made new Power Girl ware the same thing.

I know what you mean. Cory and I were talking about that a couple of weeks ago. I can't believe nobody at DC caught that.

Huh?

 

[RHughes]

Was asked to make some changes to the cover for #64.

 

[B-man]

beautiful colour as always Ross.

 

[RHughes]

Thanks, Gary!

FINAL revision. I hope. Cory and I went back and forth on the skin tones for a couple days. So what we have here is a healthier looking Supreme. Also made a couple other minor tweaks. But we're calling this puppy done.

As a stand-alone piece, the green background can't be beat, but the gold Supreme title is just going to jump off the blue background in print, so I can dig this one too.

I saw this page previewed on Jon Malin's twitter feed, so it should be okay to show the colors. I'll be coloring Image Comics revival of Youngblood. Issue #71 hits the stands this May!!! #71 will feature art by Jon and myself, as well as pages done by Rob Liefeld and Matt Yackey, before Jon and I take over exclusively in issue #72. Jon's art is so sleek and bad-a$$ and this book is going to be just what Youngblood fans want to see.

Another collaboration between myself and Cory Hamscher. Glad I was finally able to color something I'm allowed to post. I'm going through withdrawals.

This will be made available as a print. Contact me if you're interested in getting one!

Looks like this will be the last cover that Cory and I will do for the Supreme series for a little while, so we really wanted to make it special. The second I saw the rough sketch, I knew this thing was going to be awesome.

I tried a slightly different technique with this one and it really brought out some vibrant color so I'm definitely going to be playing around with it a bit more to see how it works on other things.

Amazing colouring Ross. Which software do you prefer to use for your colouring.

 

[RHughes]

I use Photoshop CS5. I want to learn how to use Painter, but I just haven't had the kind of time I need to learn it.


Just finished this piece. Whew, it was a beast! This will be available as a print in the very near future.

C&C's are highly encouraged and appreciated!

This started out as sketch by Khoi Pham that I had asked to color and then turned out to be sort of a color contest over at Ten Ton's forums. As soon as I asked about it, I got slammed with work and never got around to coloring it. LOL Khoi and I were at the same convention this weekend so I made it a point to get it colored and presented him with a nice printed copy of it. He loved it and now we're going to make prints of it for sale and do some other prints together in the near future. That worked out nicely.

Have I really not posted anything in 6 months? Wow, am I slacking. I won't dump everything but here is some of the more recent colors I've done. I'll try to be around a little more often.

Comments are always appreciated!

Another commission for my buddy, Mikey Babinski!

This one looked intimidating from the start and man, it was a beast. I've always loved Bart Sears' style and I really wanted to do it some justice.

C&C's are more than welcome!

I love me some Cory Hamscher (in case you couldn't tell)!!!

This was a pencil sketch that Cory drew and I had to go color crazy on it. What do you think?



And this was a INCREDIBLE piece! (pun intended)
