Page one of Monkeybrain’s new Subatomic Party Girls #1. Page one of All-Star Superman #1.
The essence of pop music. The essence of Superman.
I’m not saying SPG is as good as All-Star Superman (that is for history to decide, Chris Sims), but I am still saying you should buy it for 99 cents as soon as possible. If not for this page, then for the last page.
(Subatomic Party Girls is by Chris Sims, Chad Bowers, Erica Henderson, and Josh Krach. All-Star Superman is by Grant Morrison, Frank Quitely, Jamie Grant, and Phil Balsman.)
Supergirl.
Just ‘cause. Done in Manga Studio 5.
Macklemore.
Painted in Manga Studio 5.
Seeing what the amazing Phil Noto is capable of doing in Manga Studio 5 just makes me want to push even harder. Fantastic.
Marvel Girl - Just got Manga Studio 5 yesterday and wanted to try out the colors on it. I LOVE the oil and watercolor brushes. Very easy to use and a great natural look to them. Highly recommended.
Miss America Chavez from Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie’s Young Avengers, possibly my favorite comic right now.
This was done entirely in Manga Studio 5 - the first piece I’ve done in the new verison. And holy schnikies, is it ever incredibly sweet.
Talent. Done for Illustration Friday.
When I think of “talent,” I almost always think first and foremost of dancers. Not that plenty of other fields don’t require talent, but dancing is one of those things that feels furthest away from things I’m actually capable of doing with my body. I’m always, always impressed and inspired by dancers.
(Also, this is the best digital painting I’ve yet done. Yay study and practice!)
Whisper.
Done for Illustration Friday. 100% in Photoshop in something like 45 minutes.
Storm
Done for Illustration Friday. Probably two hours total.
It might not be obvious, but there’s some initial pokes at doing more digital painting rather than just straight-up comic book-style drawing. But man do i have a long way to go.
“Wings” for Illustration Friday.
About three hours total, including starting from scratch once. Manga Studio and Photoshop.
Illustration Friday: Ocean. (Frank Ocean.)
