Veeeerry nice one, Logan.

Thanks. I was going for something along the lines of the Hush colour scheme.

Finished the Wolverine. What do you all think?

 

[spiderfan08]

nice brad. i really like that one. i really like the backround and the lettering. the choice of colors are great too.

Sweet coloring, brad. Like the colors and I like the use of the interlocking rectangles in the background. Simple, but it really adds to the motion of the piece. Hell, even the standard-boring-ol Photoshop lens flare works well, largely because of the color of the glow on the Wolverine logo.

(However, someone, at some point remind me to write a tutorial on doing flares without the lens flare filters... They don't take that long to draw out...)

I realize this one got posted a long, long time ago, but I haven't had a lot of art time recently, and, well.... I just wanted to do it.

Ok, the birds aren't great, but that much negative space in sillouhete seemed to mess up everyone.

You used the channel method on this one didntcha? DIDNTCHA?



I gotta say dude that

1. This is the first coloring of this pic in this thread thats actually got it right. the lights actually coming from the right place, it looks great.

and 2. This is better than your smudge stuff. I think you should stay on this path.

[marvelisawesome]

[Da Docta]

[logan_weapon_x]

No idea where I was going with this:

 

[spiderfan08]

nice. is that the batman begins backround?

 

[logan_weapon_x]

Sure is. I like it cause it seems to work for anything.

 

[triem23]

I used not, the "channel method" on this one, Insurgo... You and I already have had a long discussion on why that's a worthless time waster of a method. I DID use only four layers, the sky (which is a Bryce Render), the flats, the shaded layer and the line art (as ever, in multiply mode.).

Most of the shading is simple dodge/burn tool in greyscale then using brushes in color mode once the tonal values are complete (You remember when I showed ya that method, Insurgo, don'cha, DON'CHA!), and, yes, the cape was smudged. It's just that coloring over someone else's pencils (and tight ones at that) defines the edges more than laying down blocks of grey tone and smudging them into shape.

(Oh, and Insurgo, remember that those smudged-out works I did for the Fan Art contests are pretty much drawn from scratch, and only have about 10 and 6 hours of work put into them, respectivly)... and basically count as detailed sketches... now, if I had the time to put in 60 hours of work on an entry, like some other entrants, I'd get in there with the airbrushes and the gradient fills and get that super-slick finish on 'em. As it is, I still think my June contest entry kicks serious ass---not the best technical finish, but one of the best concepts and layouts (besides yours, insurgo, ya sick bastich.))

Ok, that last bit was off topic.
