okay, so we're in the home stretch on this commission... you can see at this point i've added more mid range/ shadow colors to fill it out... and usually a quick trick to make it pop is adding a different cooler light source opposite the main one (and again, that light purple does the job pretty well)... not much left but the finishing touches...
oh, and since michael dooney (a CRAZY talented artist, i must add) asked a while back - all the inks for these (and 95% of what i ink) is faber castell pitt pens (either the S/superfine of the F/fine tips... and if i need a thicker line weight i'll redraw the line a few times, building it up slowly)...
okay, besides the commissions (i've got a few more to post soon, like a princess from "battle of the planets", a canson gwen stacy and a canson supergirl... and canson black widow is in the works now), i'm on my last page of our framing story for haps 6, the story for uncanny x-men first class special is done (i'll post a page or two when i get the okay) and work on my next marvel gig is underway...
i'm sure there's more i was gonna post, but since it's slipped my mind... next time.

Mr. Parker is coming along grandly. I always enjoy the "how I made this" posts done by artists. I like to see the progression of a piece.
We (the lad and I) will also be at Stillpoint this Saturday. The fellas asked if we'd like to hang with the art type folks since we've been both been known to push the pencil around now and then. My son is looking forward to it. I'll have to make sure he's stocked up on stuff to draw with.
The ligthing on this piece is incredible Craig.
Have a great FCBD and Go Celts!
Hey Craig,
I may have said this before, but I'm totally digging this step-by-step.
This piece is turning out awesome, as usual.

And now it looks like I said it twice in a row.
I must really watch my double tap of the keys.
