Spidey_62's random bin of works

[Spidey_62]

great stuff. you totally could've entered one of those monsters in the halloween fan art contest last month

Aw dang, I guess I missed that thread!

Here's just the inks for that SoTS thing in the last post, been working on more designs for that book along with more Infinite Wonders #2. Stuff's just going along, I guess.

Seeing how the colors look in b&w.

Another b&w conversion just to see how things look.

Neat, I'd like to do some Ninja Turtles. I'll try and crank one out for that when I can.

Haven't updated here in a while but I've been busy with a lot of stuff.

Another random print. My hair coming off my head like it's alive, lol.

More wacky stuff.

A big mess. Actually, this is a bunch of specific materials- things I used to use to help me get through the day and work on stuff but became muddled together in a confusing mess lately. All stuck together by paint. Propped up on a frame, more about how we have to put on a nice frame to present ourselves even when we feel like a mess. Eh, I made a companion piece for this as well. Need to snap a pic of that. That one's the happier side of the story.

More sneak peeks inside Infinite Wonders #2. Cryptic teasers are fun.

Here's an Infinite Wonders screen print I made about a month ago. Fun to do. All by hand, which took a lot more time (trying another screen print now but separated the layers digitally this time which was a real time saver).

Also did a dozen Infinite Wonders sketch cards. 2 for each of these characters. Mostly the main people you meet in the 1st two issues. Got Infinite, the Ransacker, Mr. Wonder, Gravity Gal, Mike James, and Dr. Watts. Tristen & I did some more plotting for the next two issues and it goes to some really fun places and scenarios with superheroes and we meet more crazy colorful people in here.

And, hoo boy! If you'd like to own one of those sketch cards and take them from my evil clutches, they are for sale at $5 each on our newly opened Etsy shop. https://www.etsy.com/shop/RadicalRealmComics?ref=pr_shop_more&order=price_desc&page=1

I love your stuff.

The character with the infinity sign is awesome looking. Wish I had thought of that design.

Your style in some ways reminds of Matt Wagner and Mike Mignola, not copies... It is like the best of both and what can be your own artistic flair.

Great work dude.

Hey, thanks! I've been a fan of so many comic artists like Matt Wagner and Mike Mignola for forever, so I wouldn't be surprised if there's some sort of influence buried somewhere underneath. Some whose work I've always just loved are guys like Mike Allred, Steve Rude, Steve Ditko.

Here's a tiny Vader sketch card for a friend.

And a Spirit of The Shadows screen print I finished the other night. Really big, 16x20. Was able to get a nice dozen of these made nice! Was 4 layers. I wanted to go bigger for this one so I tried out separating the layers digitally this time (rather than using tracing paper to trace the different layers for the IW screen print, which was really time consuming) which really got things pretty accurately split up.

Had to grease up the layers printed out from there which was gross lol, but then when it finally comes time to printing these it rolls out really quickly which is why I have ended up digging screen printing a lot. Lots of prep but lots of fun stuff comes out quick at the end!

4 page preview for Infinite Wonders #2. I think I burned myself out lol, as soon as I got on break I just kept working to finish this one then I got myself real good and sick for the rest of break. There's a lot in this issue that I'm proud of and excited to show everybody. https://infinitewonderscomic.wordpress.com/2015/01/07/infinite-wonders-2-preview/

Infinite Wonders #2 is now out, give it a read if you'd like- it's free!

I really like your style, the simplicity and classic feel. It's kind of Alex Toth meets Javier Pulido. I think some of your color stuff is a bit overworked but that's pretty subjective. I'm a fan of subtle or muted coloring for comics in general.

Hey, thanks! My favorite colorists these days off the top of my head are people like Rachelle Rosenberg, Laura Allred, Jordie Bellaire, Munsta Vicente, and Javier Rodriguez. I wish I could color stuff as good as that crew, I usually go pretty wild with that for some reason.

I'd just finished coloring the cover for Infinite Wonders #3, actually. It's an idea I was pretty jazzed about, I dunno!

CBR's Robot 6 blog had a nice writeup about the book today, very surreal but cool to see us on a big comic site we visit all the time like that.

Here's some pages from the 2nd issue that I had a lot of fun with especially.

 

[ComicChick]

your b&w stuff is pretty awesome

 

[CaptainWagner]

Great Work!

 

[Spidey_62]

Thanks, guys.

I was out of commission several weeks ago getting surgery on my other hand and couldn't do much for a while, so I was itching to do something to get back on track like I was before. I finally got going on this Infinite Wonders jam piece featuring lots of superpeople jumping into adventure. Coloring this took a while, happy with the results.

Holy crap dude these drawings are amazing!! I love your style, it's so unique and addictive to look at!

Cover for Spirit of The Shadows #1. Just got the script for the whole 3 part story last week and it's really swell, think classic monster movies but with some twists.

 

[ComicChick]

looks interesting. i like how you post B&W and colors together so we can see the journey

 

[Spidey_62]

^ Thanks!

Oy, I've not posted a thing in here for a while now. I've got a bunch of stuff going on though so let's start with some Spirit of The Shadows sneak peeks, that's pretty fun. The 1st issue of this is about halfway done, hoping to release it sometime later in May then I'll transition back to IW #3.

This book will get pretty funky.

A few sketch cards from several weeks ago. First we've got a Night-Tripper one. He's a hoot.

Another Infinite Wonders sketch card, super co-workers.

A Spirit of The Shadows sketch card, super fun!

And a Superior Foes of Spider-Man sketch card because I miss that series, READ IT! SUPER FUNNY!

A random piece, call it Axis.

Also have some Spider-Man stuff I was asked to do by a great website out there that I'm really excited about, when that's all released I'll be posting it for sure!

 

[Spidey_62]

A few Spider-Man related sneak peeks. Some of those sorta secret things I mentioned in that last post. Fun to play in his world like that.

 

[ThatSpiderGuy]

Spider-Man is the best, and your style makes him look great!!

Thanks! Spidey's what got me into comics, so doing these pieces has been fun.

 

[Spidey_62]

So, here's the 1st of a handful of those secret things I was talking about a while ago. The super cool guys at Superior Spider-Talk asked me to do a banner for their website (they do a different one every month) and I've since been asked to do some other pieces for the different sections on their main podcast that will be debuting sometime soon (soon as I color the last piece that is). If you haven't listened to any of their shows, I would highly recommend it. They know their Spidey and put out all kinds of consistently engaging material. www.superiorspidertalk.com/

And one more sneak peek inside The Spirit of The Shadows #1 before I release the preview. That book will be out later this month. Croquet! That isn't so terrifying.

 

[Spidey_62]

Had a burning urge in my head to do one of these minimal-ish pieces for The Spirit of The Shadows since I did one for Infinite Wonders a while back, so here that is. Now I've gotta work on this one final, if only his crazy spirit stuff would help with that...

beautiful watercolors
Loved looking through these

Thank you, I'm real happy you enjoyed going through them.

Here's something new, an Infinite Wonders/Spirit of The Shadows jam piece. It's as close to a crossover as we'll probably do, lol. Mostly done for both of the Facebook pages when we start promoting Spirit of The Shadows #1 really soon.
