Hey, new to the forums here at PA, just thought I'd share some of my latest stuff for some crits and comments!
First page of a comic book I'm working on at the moment called Tempest and the Alchemist. My girlfriend wanted me to draw her as a comic book superhero (lol, but my ego took over so I'm the only one seen 'til page 2!
). It's a comic about college students who moonlight as super-heroes:
An album cover I did for an unsigned hip-hop artist I graduated high school with:
Cover idea for a graphic novel series my father and I are in the process of writing:
That's it as far as recent stuff, but I hope to have the cover of Tempest and the Alchemist: Maelstrom colored in by like the middle of next week, in between studying for finals!

just curious, which guy? there are three in the post :P

i swear i've seen it before. i doesn't even remotely fit the same style as her body. it looks kinda like you too a shot of a joe mad head and found a different body refrence.
are these drawings really yours or are you "refrencing" other artists work?
looking at it more..isn't that gambit in the middle from when the xmen go into space and they get new costumes from the shi'ar (of however it's spelled"
and lower left is that erick larsons style from spiderman? i swear i've seen like all these before
upper left looks like a deadpool pic i've seen.
i could be totally wrong here. if it's your stuff then it looks good, but if you're just copying other artists then you're only cheating yourself and sorta wasting our time.
I guess I'm flattered that my style resembles Joe Mad, Erik Larsen, etc, but I assure you it's my own work. Kinda hard to reference a myriad of comic book styles while in the middle of astronomy class.
And you might wanna research Joe and Erik more before you accuse someone of the art equivalent of theft, as it's a pretty serious accusation to be slapped on an artist.
Here, I'll even do the work for you:
Joe Madureira's stuff
Erik Larsen's stuff
Deadpool
Also, your colouring lacks a clearly defined light source and is pretty arbitrary and 'embossed' looking. Check out Bacon's post.
That actually helps quite a bit, Bombardier, thanks
so if it IS your stuff, then i would say you may want to watch proportion size, you also want to bring the piece together with the same style of inking through the entire page. if it's going to be a cover make sure you remember there will be a title there that you prob don't want obscuring your art.
first page, second panel: that hand stuck out to me the most. I'd say big enough to crush his own head with.

His listed origins may not be correct, but I agree. I've seen some of this stuff before, especially that chick's head. It may not be directly referenced, but you can tell that where your influences lie. Everything in that picture screams Wildstom comics, that style that (unfortunately) was so popular in the mid-to-late 90s. Immediately as i saw the picture, I thought, "gen 13 fan art".
He's right, you incorporate a multitude of previously existing drawing and inking styles in that one image without a unifying element over the whole. The people simply don't look like they are from the same comic, and nothing looks original.
You should definitely practice drawing from life and realism without any comic stylizations for a while and then try to define your own style from that.
Also, your comic pages: the coloring is very unprofessional looking. The visible pencils are the worst thing about it. You lack any dynamic darks, your comic seems to start at a middle grey and lightens in value from there. Also, you simply appear to be adding local color values to objects and then dropping in gradients / airbrushes from there, this is not the approach you should be taking to color.
Your background issue has been addressed previously, and the main point of advice that can be given there is this: Draw your foreground and background at the same time, devote the same amount of attention to both.
You look like you're taking this pretty seriously and definitely put a lot of time into it. Keep up the work and do keep posting, I'd like to see how your stuff improves.
Eh, that's actually a stylistic choice to go from pencils straight to color, but I suppose it could be implemented in a more successful way (Ultimates 3, Marvel 1602, Origin, etc.).
Chugging along on the cover to the comic... got "The Alchemist" done last night, starting on "Tempest"... in the middle of finals week!!
your gradient heavy colors just look..i dunno.amateur? but not in a good way. i want to say "lazy" but it's clear you put time and effort in it so thats not right.
gradients and filters are things that have to be used well and/or in moderation.
also many of you highlights are are a white color..yet that never really happens in nature the way, you're using it. in the last image the reflected light off his left hand should be hitting his body witha green glow casting deep shadows bqckwards, but then you have a secondary light source of pure white light coming forwards. the scene looks like it should be at night yet the colors are super saturated (actually almost all your colors are.
can you upload just the b+w for that last image?
