Decided to repost this promo art for the upcoming Saint2 comic but i wanted to show the steps i used to create it since after all that is the point of this blog. I am still experimenting with my coloring but was pleased with at least 90 percent of how it turned out, mainly due to my limited coloring knowledge but i am working everyday to get better, watch you will see.
the inks on this puppy were pretty simple and since i decide on placement of most of the black areas when i do the marker comp i can kinda just trust my layout.
the sexiest part of the design is always for me the pencils, yes i am and always will be a penciler first.
even though i like what i had with the original marker comp i remembered the General character has a scar on the right side of his face and so i decided to flip the top characters so that i could show this very important character trait. Also i wasnt so pleased with the face of the main character at the bottom center so after finding some cool reference i went in an adjusted this at this time. I have found that the more time you spend in the layout process the better the end results and less aggravation envolved.
i usually start with a thumbnail design of the layout but decided to go straight into the character arrangement here all sharpie marker style...the text serves as a placeholder.
