Pass it on

Just read that on your blog too, Kev - good work!! 

Excellent work Supersurfer. You've dabbled in this drawing malarkey before, haven't you?

You've dabbled in this drawing malarkey before, haven't you?

Thanks Uncle Fester.

Dabbled at best. Similar story to one or two of the other fellow boarders here. Always as a kid wanted to draw comics. Studied art/design so neglected comic art – it's not serious art you see (we've all heard that one before). Worked for years as a graphic designer but can't say I'm nuts about it (comes with so much crap). Did the odd bit of illustration work over the years but nothing at all like comic art. Got fed up of a long term job which I left last year. So all I draw is what I show on this forum but hope to change that soon.

Er, sorry, this isn't meant to be an autobiography. Get colouring someone will you.

Very good idea! I'll probably post something here!

My strength is undoubtly drawing and inking my own stuff, but I'll be studying comic coloring in the next couple of months, so maybe I'll find some works I can practice my coloring skills on.

You can also find some rather tasty samples to colour here:

Probably as appropriate here as on the Doodle thread, so I'll repost it:



Hope you don't mind, Unc!

Cheers!

That really is a great design and pencils from Fester. I wonder if anyone will take up the challenge of colouring it in the "Pass it on" thread?

There's a much higher-res version available if anyone does want to have a bash at it ...

Cheers!

I've calmed down about it now but wow... just wow. So could you send me the high res, please?


...I really should've finished it, shouldn't I?

Stunned.

Do you want the Manga Studio doc, so you can faff about with the layers?

Cheers!

[uncle fester]

Can you open a Manga Studio doc in PhotoShop? If so then yes please.

I can export it as a .psd with layers intact. I'll give it a go and see what the file size comes out like -- obviously, if it's 48Mb, I won't attach it to an e-mail and zap it off to clog up your inbox!

Cheers

If anyone wants to have a bash at colouring it, in keeping with the spirit of the thread, then I (and Fester, hopefully!) will be very happy to see the results.

Cheers!

I should have added that the file linked above is a very modest ~1.5Mb.

Cheers!

It's just jaw-droppingly good. Great composition to start with and then really good inking and well place blacks give this hammer-blow impact.
I'd seriously like to see more collaboration from Fester and Jim.

I'm outrageously flattered to receive such high praise from all-round talented geezers like yourselves.

Emboldened by your encouraging words ...

Well Mr.Campbell, you've done it again. Nice one. Kevlev's original drawing is a doozy, great poses.
