Trick Arrow

I need a bowman for my universe so I came up with this.

Not sure about the color scheme though. I think it's too Speedy/Arsenal. Oh well, we'll just see on the final draft.

Trick Arrow will make his first appearance on Rock Em Sock' Comics Presents #3.

Salamat!

New Titans: Speedy

I'm on a New Titans nostalgia trip theses days. Here's Speedy.

New Defenders

I love this iteration of The Defenders team.

I love the stories and interaction between the characters, masterninded by J.M. DeMatteis.

I especially love Don Perlin's style on this book. Not the house style he did during his early works.

Wolverine: Tigress

This was the first piece of sequential I ever created from a fan fiction script.

I was practicing on my sequentials back, then just drawing up scenarios. I really hate my contrived plots and dialouges so I thought "Why not find a good script on the web? "

And that's where I discovered the wonderful world of fan fiction . Abundant with superhero stories, it's like shopping for scripts!

Most are written in prose so it really exercises your brain on how to represent it in comic form.

And that's what started me on this path. It's an addicting hobby (making sequentials that is). And I never stopped since.

ALPHA Agent of F.R.E.E.D.O.M.

Aaah... so many projects, so little time.

Who is ALPHA? I don't know yet.

What does F.R.E.E.D.O.M. stands for? I got nothing. It just sounds retro-cool!

I'm just compelled to do this. This is a nice little project on the side when I want to loosen up, just be creative and unleash my inner Kirby.

I have a sort of a plot for this. I'll just draw the pages and just worry about the dialogues afterwards. Just pure drawing fun, the Kirby Way.

Making a Cover Part 6

In this installment I colored Star Strong.

Didn't make it to her hair though.

Z-Escrima Crossover: Page 3 WIP

I easily get tired and put the pencil down. I'm very happy with the results so far.

I was looking at some old John Byrne Iron Fist while working on this for inspiration.

That's it for me today.

Making a Cover Part 5

And then I proceed to coloring each object on the page.

Applying the color guides. Doing the airbrushing, shadows and highlights.

If theres a need for special effects like flares, blurs or color holds. Those will be added on the final process.

See how Gaviota pops out from the rest of his 2D friends. I love doing that :D

Making a Cover Part 4

Next comes the flatting stage. The most hated part of the process.

It's a necessary evil. Let's leave it at that.

Making a Cover Part 3

On this step I retouch the page in Photoshop.

Smoothen some lines, fill in the blacks, correct some mistakes and just give it an overall clean finish.
