Ink's art block-new x-men

Hey Nice clean up around here!

Wish to say i have been so tied with art that i haven't been posting.
However that is not true. Ohh well 2009 is around the corner and time for some change!

Huzzah!

AfghanAnt · December 31, 2008, 06:27:12 PM

Fantastic.

Blkcasanova247 · December 31, 2008, 06:29:12 PM

Excellent work Ink!

Glitch Girl · December 31, 2008, 09:14:32 PM

wow, that is gorgeous. Is that for a particular project or just a "for the heck of it" drawing?

Figure Fan · December 31, 2008, 10:10:08 PM

Is that..the main character from Onimusha?

It's pretty snazzy

ink · January 01, 2009, 04:32:55 AM

A it's good old classic commish. he let me choose my own colors though.

Alaric · January 01, 2009, 06:23:09 PM

I think somehow you've managed to do it again- get even better, that is.

ink · January 03, 2009, 02:50:02 AM

So i felt uninspired lately and the holiday season made me rusty from drawing. So i heard one tip is to go back and revisit an old drawing in hopes of picking up steam. I feel like it kind of worked but i am soo lazy when it comes to this background.

So yeah consider this a wip and the original which was done two or three years ago is here. Which you can see here.

I am redrawing this piece weirdly like slowly going through the piece and reinking it and redrawing specific parts and placeing them in. Very frankstienish

Blkcasanova247 · January 03, 2009, 06:30:15 AM

Love her face!

MJB · January 03, 2009, 08:35:10 AM

While I like the layout of the piece I feel that her expression is just too... "meh". The expression on her face conveys "Sigh, what's next?". I don't know if that is what you were going for.

I posted roughs and layouts on this board before here are some polished pages. I am constantly scanning for tangents and parts where inkers are going to have a hard time. If you see any of the above please tell me.I need fresh eyes. There is one more page ...page 6 but forsome reason i can never pull the last page off quite the way i want

Thanks for looking and crits are welcome! not just welcomed...i need it ......must get better !

Booo!

It all looks incredibly professional Ink - The sense of speed that you give flash is cool especially on the top of page 5 where he's racing on the mountain & the bottom right of page 2 - the smile of on Flash's face is priceless & the tornado effect looks cool - I always have a hard time drawing wing myself but, yours looks great

Uncle Yuan · January 12, 2009, 01:11:32 AM

I will elaborate a little bit - I'm not much of an artist so I will leave the art critique to those better qualified. (Although I think it looks fantastic.)

As a reader, there are a couple of parts that don't track well and thus don't make sense. And they are all in the segment where he is fighting the giant . . . armadillo?

On page three, panels 2 to three and three to four aren't clear to me. How did Flash wind up on the ground? And then from there, how did he wind up on top of the foot? Then the big question - after he gets stomped on, how is it that he appears on the farm? In the first two transition it just looks like there are a panel or two missing between the gaps. I suspect the foot stomp is contextual and we just don't see the part that explains that in this sample. If not, that too needs to be expanded upon.

On a plus side - I love the expression on the thingie's face in the last panel when Flash snatches his bottle!

Inks!

THey are crappy digital inks. more like clean up

and the start of the flats.
I have never colored OR inked any of my seqs pages ever! So this is really slow for me. I decided to do this so i can see what the colorist and inker is going through. I already decided to draw cleaner next time

\

Yeah i think thats a problem page. Clarity isn't that great. I'll have to see what i can do.
I am a reaching point where thought i love working on these my tolerance for redoing pages or frustration for poor planning really drains my motivation

ink · January 16, 2009, 02:52:45 AM

A warm that got lucky with some tones. lol

a WARM up before i start my flash pages again.

MJB · January 16, 2009, 09:12:06 PM

Why can't I get my Photoshop to do that?

Great job on the colors so far Ink.

ink · January 16, 2009, 09:32:34 PM

allot of work to do but i am slowly getting to stage where i can start tweaking and cleaning up.

and man..getting a cloud evil man ...thats a tough gig.

ink · January 17, 2009, 11:50:36 AM

Woot i am ready to move on!

but yeah i forgot to mention how hard coloring and not to mention ink.

omg colorist have it so hard.Flatting, palette choices and light sources. I'm sure it gets easier with time but yeah this is the first and last page for LONG time! :whistlin:

lol WHO knew coloring you own stuff was so much damn work?
Seriously who knew and didn't tell me?

I think with the border these pages would look allot better. Like i planned the composition a little tighter but just colored all the way past the dotted lines

chuckles · January 17, 2009, 06:30:02 PM

Those are superb.
They have an awesome range of color, and I like that style of artwork.
Very well done.

MJB · January 17, 2009, 08:49:37 PM

The finished product looks excellent, Ink. Coloring any pages is tough work. The end product is worth it though.

electro · January 18, 2009, 10:13:38 PM

Quotelol WHO knew coloring you own stuff was so much damn work?

Amen to that - Coloring has never been my cup of tea - I always preferred to draw with pencil & my fav part - The part that's actually fun comes when I get to ink something i have finished drawing - So I salute you on your coloring efforts because like the drawings they look professional & is something I would purchase at the O'l comic shop especially if it has the Flash involved

Thanks for the Free Art!

Alaric · January 19, 2009, 02:14:42 AM

Difficult or no, that's an amazing coloring job.

Glitch Girl · January 19, 2009, 04:23:43 AM

wow.. Ink your stuff has just gotten so refined... I'm completely blown away. Pop the contrast a touch on the finished page is the only suggestion I can really offer.

Figure Fan · January 20, 2009, 11:49:00 PM

Those colors are absolutely incredible. I love the contrast between the background and Flash. He appears so dynamic in every panel.

Are you using a tablet for these colors? If so, what settings do you use (brushes and/or overlays)?

Just..wow..

ink · January 21, 2009, 06:55:17 AM

Thanks glitch....i remember posting on these forums with my very first superhero stuff and man that stuff LOOKS horrible. heh

FIgure fan....if you want see where i got my color ideas from . If you head to my d.a I think i have awhole bunch of favorite tutorials. I am using a tablet and backgrounds it;s opacity 20 and flow 20 after flats.

Gremlin · January 22, 2009, 06:49:56 AM

That redefines awesome, my friend. Excellent!

ink · January 22, 2009, 09:25:12 AM
