John Carpenter's The Thing

Another addition to the John Carpenter theme...
The Thing is one of my all time faves...so I thought that I would do a quick paint for practice.

****update...I realized that the values were really bad and it make the picture look like s*it. So I went back and reworked them a bit.

Mega Man Tribute

Well, the deadline for the Mega Man tribute book submission has come and gone, and I am pretty sure that I didn't win. No worries,, I was just glad to be able to contribute. This is not the final entry, I actually colored the final submission, but that was before I got any tips on adding color to the things that I drew...(it was pretty bad). Anyway, I just wanted to share the submission..now that I have a little bit more knowledge about the color process, I might go back and color this one when I have some time. We'll see...

Darkseid Likes Flowers

More color practice...

Snake Plissken

For color practice..

John Carpenter's They Live

John Carpenter is one of my favorite directors. I did a series of paintings where I painted all of his movie posters. Halloween, Escape from New york, etc. etc. This was the only one that I did not do. Now I can say that I did all my faves! Not 100% as accurate as the original, but as close as I could get..

Here is the original:

RoboCop!

Using the same process as the skater, I also worked up a more detailed drawing of Robocop (I LOVE Robo!)...so to honor the new Robocop statue that they are proposing to build in Detroit..here is that work up as well. The process here is basically the same, you just have to take more time when selecting the areas of shadow. Because of this..it takes even longer..but I think that the result looks better here...

I started with a drawing...scanned it, and followed the same process as the skater. The result is a clean drawing ready for coloring. (above)

Then add flat colors (above)

Then use Hue/Saturation to adjust the values (above)

Then add hilights..(above)

...and Voila..there is a new sherrif in town!
