So, Little Man is ill at home and now Wifey and I are timesharing. I will only be in at work for about another hour or so before I return to the den of snottiness. Anyway… I was not going to post from work today since I am only here for such a short period of time, but I am waiting on some people to make groundbreaking… nay earth-shattering decisions regarding a proposal color scheme, so what the hey.
It seems that Capt McArmypants has decided that Digital Thursdays should be a bit more timely. I guess where he works doesn’t have morning meetings or crap work that has to get done. He, being a wonderfully helpful soul and compassionate human being, decided to create a post for me. The real post will follow… I think you will be able to determine where I take over.
Last week’s No-Prize Sketch Challenge over at Ten Ton Studios was to take someone else’s pencils and “finish them.” For those of you no up to speed with the comic lingo there are primarily four different tasks that have to happen before a page is ready (aside from writing and editing). They are penciling, inking, coloring, and lettering. Clearly some of these tasks can be done by the same artist, but usually there are more than one artist working on a book at any time. Lately, lettering has started to be a dying art due to computers with their fancy fonts and their beep beeps and their boop boops.
Anyway… I got some high resolution pencil scans from a fellow artist work posts his stuff over at Ten Ton Studios forums and started the inking and coloring process. The pencils are from David Newbold, and are pretty tight to say the least.
The concept as I saw it was that Firestorm was coming out of a page that was done like DaVinci’s Vitruvian Man illustration. My part of this was all done in Photoshop and ended up being about 10 layers deep. Overall extremely I am happy with how it turned out.
To recap:
Little Man is sick
He seems to be getting better though
I hope that we are able to ship him off to preschool to infect the other kids tomorrow
Capt. Mc Armypants is nothing if not helpful
He is also very proud of his “art”
I especially like the white space left in the "e"
Very Warhollian
He also finds the word “Yeti” very funny
In fact he is most likely saying, "Yeti Yeti Yeti Yeti" right now
He is a simple man
And in his simpleness he is in the US armed forces
AS A LAWYER
I don’t feel so safe right now
Listening to my phone ring
Have a great weekend everyone
*This evening I will relink the pics for easy embiggination
