Super Girl Process (Continued)

Here's more coloring process on the previous Supergirl picture...and it also marks my first time creating an animated gif image, so yay me!

The first step is the flatted picture (with a corrected Super 'S' logo). The second step is the shadow stage. I do this before doing highlights because it adds volume to the picture and gives me a better idea of how things are going to flow and lets me see problem areas ahead of time.

Step 3 is the basic highlights, where I set the light source. I also add depth to her skin like blush to her face, and tan everywhere else. The final step is where I add the rest of the details, like doing secondary light sources (which unfortunately at this resolution you can't really see except under her breasts and arms), color holds on lines...and warming the drawing with an overlay layer.

That's pretty much my process for coloring most of my stuff. This picture is in no way shape or form completed though, because I have to go back and add in a background and make sure that it looks okay and works and all that jazz. Fun stuff. I'll be sure to post that as well.

Super Work In Progress

Just some drawing because I was bored. All I've done so far is ink and flat...pretty boring so far. Still, thought I'd post since I'm kinda bored on this Thanksgiving Eve. Happy Turkey Day everyone, I hope that you all are spending it with the ones you love.

*edit* And yes I am aware that the Super logo colors are reversed...hey, I was tired when flatting this!!

Super Luigi's World

Little known fact: I like Luigi a million times better than I like Mario. There, I said it. Luigi should get the same amount of shine as Mario does, if not more. Mario always gets his name out there, and he always saves and gets the girl. So I thought, what better way to help give Luigi his comeuppance than to dedicate some fanart solely to him! And here we go (no pun intended)! Super Luigi saving his princess, Princess Daisy, from the terrors of the Mushroom Kingdom.



Of course, I had to remix Luigi a lil' bit, you know, just to show everyone that he is in fact better than Mario.

Part of Your World

Let this be known...I'm a Stan of all Disney movies...ALL DISNEY MOVIES. I love hand drawn animation, their art direction...I love it all. With that being said, I love The Little Mermaid. Don't judge me!! Anyways, I decided to do a lil bit of fan art of the movie, and also use it as a chance to practice more coloring.

...cause you know, practice makes perfect...and all that jazz. Click on the image to see it in all of its high resolution glory.

Coin Heaven

I think the videogame that will forever have the most lasting impression on me is Super Mario Bros. 3. Yeah yeah, my first game was Super Mario 1/Duck Hunt/World Class Track Meet, but none of those could ever top the euphoria that was Super Mario 3. Even that music is so iconic and instantly recognizable to me. Recently, I heard the song for 'coin heaven' on tv somewhere, and that just brought back so many memories...so I thought, why not do a drawing of Mario and Princess Peach in Coin Heaven.

And for those not familiar as to what the song is for 'coin heaven' (shame on you!):

Beyond

I loved the DC animated cartoons such as Superman, Batman: The Animated Series, Justice League (Unlimited), and my all-time favorite, Batman Beyond. I don't know what it is about the Beyond cartoon, but it definitely ranks above them all to me (okay, maybe a tie with BTAS). And when they had the crossovers with Justice League Unlimited, I thought I was in heaven. Basically, Batman Beyond was Batman of the future, with Bruce Wayne acting as a mentor to the new Batman, Terry.

Anyways, enough of me nerding out about the show, here's a piece of fanart that I did for it. Hope ya digs!!

Just Art...

I don't really have much to say for this post....just art to show. Hopefully the more and more I draw, the better I get. Looking back at the first couple of posts in this blog, I definitely see a vast improvement. But anyways, here we go:
