seth, between naps

second attempt at digital painting, trying to do an Emma Frost headshot in the Future Fight style.... really fun and frustrating to learn all at the same time. 

Kirby, Cockrum, Byrne and Lee. There were some amazing other artists in there (Paul Smith, Art Adams, geez so many) but I tried to limit my project to 12 pages of work. Here are the Jim Lee inspired/X-Men ‘92 style pages. One thing I learned was go heavy on action and posing, and be liberal with the hatch marks. The story and character (like the previous ones) are just a silly excuse to mimic an art style that had a major influence on me growing up. 

sat down and tried to get a better handle on digital painting. Geez, got a lot to learn! You can spend hours drawing strands of hair and then... it looks like you drew a thousand strands of hair. Ugh! (All Clip Studio Paint.)

These panels would fit off-scene around X-Men #105. To check out the 1960s study,  http://scmartel.tumblr.com/post/167772457007/an-ongoing-project-trying-to-capture-the-spirit-of

The new Trinary from X-Men:Red. Taking a guess on what her powers would look like, but fun to have someone new to draw. Throwback added to a 1992 trading card (geez, I spent waaaay too much money collecting those back in the day, sorry mom).

An ongoing project trying to capture the spirit of Lee/Kirby during the early X-Men years with a made up character. I’ll continue this study through the 70s, 80s and 90s. 

Messy redesign of Cerise from Excalibur. It’s been a while since she’s been in anything (I think?) and her old costume needed more ‘space warrior’. Maybe the pants should be black?  

(just a few updated edits from the last version I posted). 

From the old work-in-progress folder. Maybe someday this’ll get cleaned up and colored? Was inspired by the old Art Adams poster that hung in my room.

Tara. Inspired by Tula’s issue, which was insanely good. 

Mockingbird #7 week. Go out and get yours!
