And another one, this time over the lineart of Scott 'Shade' Jones:

Nice1 I like how you made the characters pop from the detailed background.

Thanks, Marcus - that one was definitely a challenge!

Impressive work Ian, I really like the textures on the Doc Strange pieces.

Love to see this stuff Ian. Very cool.

Thanks, guys

This piece was done back in '95, and I've got it hanging on my living room wall. I only just got around to scanning it this morning, however.

I like it.

Lot of awesome stuff on the previous page (#15) too, that i didn't see.

Thanks, Stephane

I can't quite tell, is that just pencil, or is there some whash there as well?

You can definitely see your style was there already. I love the composition, and I always enjoy a piece with just one piece of color in it somewhere.

Nicely done, Ian.

It's just pencil - from what I recall, just a lot of tedius hand-shading to get that wash effect, first laying down shading in 2H, then building it up with HB, then the darker stuff in a 2B and 3B. No smudging or anything like that, either.

And thanks Mark

A new piece, something I'll be making a colour print of.

Cool,

Are you going to ink it, or just go straight to color?

Thanks

I'll be going straight to colour with this piece.

He does that a lot. AND Ian makes it work.

He's MY hero! No one else's. Got that?

Heh.

...I have no idea what to make of that...

This is an all-digital piece I did a few years ago - I did the original Photoshopping on a different computer, and never got a copy of that file saved. So, this is a kindofa crappy scan of the printout I had made of it.

Maybe I shouldn't post late at night.

The color choices are just perfect. Creepy.

Yeah, I'll ditto what Vlad said. Very nice colors.

Thanks again, folks

Here's that latest Paul Smith piece that I did for Gerry. For some reason, the version that Gerry posted came out a bit more saturated than this version...I'm not sure why.
