Art & Inspiration ////EARLY FRIDAY,BARE METAL,SLIGHTLY PATINAed, ART SHOW 7-18-08\\\\

Great work everybody!

I got nuthin' to show off this week... well, nothing that anybody here would dig seeing anyway. Unless of course ya like comic books....

 

Is that supposed to be funny Rob?

 

Good god! Love the vintage style!

 

Not at all.

My "day job" is being a digital painter / colorist for Marvel and DC comics.

And since I've been slammed lately with comic work, I haven't had any time to do the "fun stuff" that I'd normally post on here.

Ger, that piece kicks ass bro!

 

Really cool, Dutch Courage !!!!
My last creation ...

 

Thanks Ger!... That gassers awesome!

 

Hey Rob,
One of my best friends does comics, Rick Remender. I also know Kieron Dwyer. Both worked on tons of stuff for Marvel, Dc, and some other companies I don't remember. Definitely check out Ricks site, he's hilarious!
www.rickremender.com.

 

I know Kieron. I also know Rick's stuff.

 

PACHECO is your stuff pen and ink or digital vector work?


P.S. I will post some stuff a little later.

 

I'll have to tell them,

that's really cool!

I learned a lot from them while living in S.F.

 

Old school pen n ink illustrations...I "clean" up the tight corners with photoshop.

 

No way.....that's cool - they come out looking tight!

 

Here is something I did.

 

Yeah, tell Kieron I said hey.

Here's some quick ones to give others out there an idea about what my "day job" working in comics entails.
Pencils shown below are the "before", and usually drawn by somebody else, and the after is me, when I do all the digital painting and coloring....







Here's one where I did the pencils myself and then digitally painted it...



Sorry... hope I didn't just hi-jack the art thread.

Like I told JCruz...you have one of the coolest jobs.

 

Thanks brother. I appreciate that.

robschwager, That is amazing. What programs are you using to paint with? Mac? And are you using a Stylus or Wacom tablet? Pacheco and I are huge comic fans.

 

Thanks man. I use Photochop.

 

WOW killer art show so far this week!!!!

Some stripes from me this week.


And some unfinished stencil fun

 

Holy crap schwager...super tight....just some great rendering skills. I'm such a inking/coloring nerd can we see more???

 

Ya man, you're really good!
I've always wanted to practice that more but day jobs get in the way.

Rad shit.

 

Damn!

Once upon a time I wanted to be a comic artist.

I am waaaaay to slow for the industry however - I am far too picky.


Pleeeease join the art group (see my sig).


~Bro

 

DelSwanson.... your color work is beautiful.
That red and purple ninja dude is powerful!

 

Gary,
I'd love to take credit for that, but I was just responding to Mr. schwager's stunning color work. That was my first attempt at responing at the end while including the artwork. Sorry I wasn't clear!
Del

 

Thanks man. Been doing it professionally for over 19 years. I'm just glad somebody likes what I do.

Already joined about 10 minutes after you first posted about it last week.

Thanks dude. Here's some more stuff to gawk at:

 

Some of my work. This is all etched into glass, picture frames to be exact. Most of them are 16" x 20". I'm no Guiseart, but I think I do OK. <br>

Neat work! What do you use to etch the glass?

A dremel rotary tool with diamond-tip bits and a damn steady hand.
