Playing with some Alex Ross art

2011-02-20T11:12:00.000-08:00

This Ross Pinup I thought was pretty rough to look at, I appreciate what he's trying to do and I'm a fan but i thought the palette was unbearable and ruined what could've been a cool image.. anyway i felt compelled to screw with it and it made for an interesting push/pull exercise, which is something I need to work on anyway. I just worked off a low rez, its quick and messy but it was fun.
Btw heres the project its from http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=30782

Last Shazam Review

2010-11-02T09:26:00.000-07:00

Review for last issue of Shazam! LINK

heres what they said about moi "Atkinson’s colors really help this book deliver. The upgrade in paper (and price) a few months back struck me as a curious call, but the paper really helps show off just how electrifyingly bold, bright, and sassy Atkinson’s coloring is. This book looks exactly how an all ages comic book should look. Unfortunately, it’s the last issue of the series."

I'm Sassy!! haha ill post some pages up soon :)

Taking it Up a Notch

2009-02-04T08:00:00.000-08:00

i think i decided to focus S4B as a webcomic, it was a pain staking decision because if i submit to Zuda (DC Webcomics) like i want to, the pages would have to be a certain format and i couldnt just make the pages normal comic size.. not really anyway. so before i get hardcore in the art i have to figure which way to go. the print market is so tedious now that i dont know it would get picked up by darkhorse or IDW no matter how great i make the pitch. of course there would be no guarantee with Zuda either but those monthly competitions will make it easier to break in.. and if i do win they pay $250 per screen, so if i can do 2 screens a week and some freelance gigs on the side i can make a living again. thats the plan anyway, print comics takes a long time to get a return, if there is any..even if image puts out your comic it still dosen't mean you make a profit.. and now diamond bumped up thier quotas for each book itll be harder to keep from getting cancelled. at least on Zuda if it gets picked up theres unlimited possibe readers and no reason to get cancelled. DC will also print your comic after several months or a year of strips...and you make even more of a profit.

anyway my goal is to make Search 4 Bliss amazing looking so im still in the concept stage. i lost myself for a day or two to deviant art looking at alot of bad ass comic art, it really made me realize how week my stuff is. so (trying to put the inferiority complex aside) i did a quick study of some techniques and got an idea of what direction to take my style... more animated looking, cleaner, exagerated... overall i needed to make time for the more tedious things. this piece i did last night i totally made some changes in technique.. i left all my lines in layers, took my time to make them cleaner and less detailed, knocked them back, used linear dodge instead of screen for my highlights and went with a more cell shaded style on the characters. i like it, i need to spend more time on my composition i just started drawing without much planning because i was anxious on working on the style.

2008-10-29T15:21:00.000-07:00

dont call it a comeback! SO a while back scientist were trying to say that my hero..(yes you guessed it).. Tyrannosaurus Rex was not only NOT the apex predator of its day but just a feeble scavager! of course i cried "blasphemy!" and no one listened .. well as it turns out i was right.. so to all you haters out there guess what! YUP! T-rex was the top pimp smack'n hoe back in the Cretaceous hood.

"Tyrannosaurus rex relied on its elite nose to sniff out victims and take down live prey at night, a new study shows.

Some scientists previously had considered T. rex a scavenger of carrion, rather than a hunter, due to various features including its sense of smell. The new study, which analyzed data for a range of meat-eating dinosaurs as well as living carnivores (alligators), suggests T. rex likely was and took down live prey such as other dinosaurs."

Bliss Flowers

2008-07-10T06:10:00.000-07:00

Bliss Flowers Breakdown

2008-07-10T04:48:00.001-07:00

so when i do a piece on my own i tend not to have much direction and make things up as i go. so i thought id save some steps so we can see the process. (btw im dying to make screencasts so i can put movies up of my doodles..maybe next time ;)

my rough sketch. ill draw with a pencil brush (all digital btw) then change my lines to blue so i can trace over them with a finer brush without any confusion.

i'm at the point where i leave everything open and add all the depth and light sources with color. it just comes out looking better for me.

i drop in flat colors (usually my darks) to get started.

next i paint in a sky or mess with an existing one i had, and add my highlights.

i googled some random flowers and plants then roughly incorporated them into the picture.

i tweaked the colors, added more darks, highlights and painted in more elements.

i decided i wanted to add alot more to the picture, so i extended my canvas then painted in more sky. i sketched in Mad Jack in a tree, fishing (in the background) and mits in the foreground looking at Bliss and the flowers.

i then drop flats into those guys and the trees.

i render the new art and i end up getting rid of the lines on Jack and the trees since im going to push them back further into the background.

i tweaked the colors added more darks, highlights and painted in some effects..i spent alot of time just getting the focus of the picture right, still dont know if it works but im happy with it.

(for the time being :)

2008-06-28T14:26:00.000-07:00

this was some art for a euro techno band that contacted me. i think they ended up going with someone else, but i was flattered they liked my stuff. i did this for them just to show, they like it but thought it was too similar art from the Gorillaz.
