Nice work you've done here Ross,

 

[RHughes]

Thanks!!!


Booster Gold #44 is on the stands now! Dan Jurgens returns to his creation, and I was psyched to be able to color a couple pages of it. Booster debuted while I was a freshman in high school, and I instantly thought he was the coolest character out there. I remember when I was drawing and creating my own characters, there were a TON of Booster rip-offs going on in my costume designs. LOL

While I was partial to the smoother rendering on his costume, Dan thought it would be a good idea to change it up and move in a different direction with how his costume is rendered. Brian Miller came up with the more solid look to the highlights on the costume, and I think it still works well and looks cool. What do you think?

That would make quite a badass hoodie.

Thanks! I'll be very interested to see what they turn out like when they're put into production.

Here's a character I was animating last year and this was a "poster" that was supposed to go along with it. The model was posed in Maya and then rendered and layered in Photoshop.

Um......welll.....this is awkward......

This thread is intended for me to display my work and have people comment and/or discuss it.

That said, the rendering on your character is effective in adding volume, but the layered cuts make it look kind of awkward. If you could smooth out your cuts, it would look fantastic. The grammar of the text is pretty bad. If it's supposed to be a single sentence, you're going to want to add the word "to" before the word "join". If they're supposed to be two separate sentences, I would increase the font size of the "I Want You" line even more and maybe move the second line to the top of the image.

LOL, so diplomatic.

And dude, your colouring technique is already flawless. I just visit this topic to read the comics, really.

 

[RHughes]

Flawless, I'm not so sure about, but I appreciate it.

That's why I put it here I thought you could give me your 2 cents. And you did! Thank you!

I got the text from this and just made it fit my own character a bit:

Quick color commission of a John Byrne drawn Gladiator.

I could never figure out why I liked this character, but I always did. Just something cool about a mowhawk, I guess.

C&C's always appreciated.

Colored this little beauty for the back cover of the Sniper and Rook trade paperback coming out from Beta 3 Comics. I was originally just supposed to color Sniper and Rook and a bit of the background, but since Battle of the Planets was my favorite cartoon as a kid, I couldn't pass up doing the whole thing. Of course, I probably should have colored the background and stuff on a different layer, but I wasn't thinking that day so I colored the image as is, and then went back and removed all of the Gatchaman characters and drew in the missing background afterwards. *sigh*

C&C's always welcome!

I did some more work on this one with all of the feedback I received in mind. I think this image works much better.
