Lean's Graphics Gallery: Star Wars Model Kit Comps

[Lean]

Thanks man.

Being a comic book colorist/sketcher/inker/cartoonist is one of my frustrations actually. When I was a kid I used to draw comic strips. Ah the good old days.

[Null17]

Actually. I think this is top notch quality. Try submitting some of your work to Glass House Graphics. It's a company here that acts like a talent agent for big comic book companies. They've been key to getting Pinoys and Brazilians in Marvel and DC.

I'm also interested in being a colorist since I haven't really been honing my freehand skills and I feel I can do coloring better but I haven't really tried it out like you have with that Batman piece. Add to the fact that I'm focusing on moving on to becoming a 3d artist rather than a colorist.

[J@3]

That's not a bad idea actually. I have the opposite problem, I'm pretty good at drawing but shit at colouring things. Drives me insane.

Edit: Not that you're shit at drawing but your focus seems more colour-based

[Null17]

Care to share some of your work Jae?

[J@3]

I have a couple lying around I might try to find actually. If I do I'll put them in my thread obviously, as opposed to spamming Lean's.

Thanks Null, might check it out now so I better go away from teaching college brats.

Not that you're shit at drawing...

It's been years since I've done a better sketch. I have to blame it on Photoshop.

[Modifly]

Thanks for the help Lean, I did it on a 100x100 pixel canvas. I'll redo them from scratch when I have time and inspiration.

[jenz]

come on modifly, just "do" an image search of megan fox.

[Lean]

Would you like a 5-straight posts of Megan Fox images?

[MikeMan™]

Obviouslly , us " Men " around here want it . . .

[DahLollipop]

WARNING! Mojo Stimulator

Just watch her new movie.. Jennifer's Body? haha

[MikeMan™]

Hey Megan , bite me ! bite me !

[Modifly]

I'm pretty sure that we all want a bite of her, but I'm not sure if it works vice versa.

[Lean]

Holy crap. 2nd S.H.I.T. now up!



It's now made from Dreamweaver.

[shadowgrin]

You should really make a website of your portfolio just like conrad did. You could really get noticed in the business Lean.

[Lean]

Thanks shadow, just making a headstart for now. What I should learn is how to customize blogsites (free hosting and all makes me want to post it there).

[buzzy]

that's the shit right there, I think I'm gonna try one of these.

[Angelo]

very good tutorial lean i can definitely make use of this cuz im planning to do a vector art for Megan Fox

[jenz]

bookmarked. thanks Lean! maybe now i can make a comic book cover of flash bomba.

[Joe']

Great stuff, man. Just one question though: Is there any way to make the stroke paths neater, as in less "brushy?" Maybe using Illustrator or something?

[Lean]

One solution is to sharpen it. (though I never really mentioned that in the tutorial, it's more of a "personal trick" )

Filter your lineart (supposed that your "blacks" shape aren't merged with it), with the Unsharp Mask filter. Filter>Sharpen>Unsharp Mask. And set it to at least 50.

[Modifly]

I haven't had time to read it yet, but I'm sure that it's great as always Lean.

I will check it out later, and of course, try it out too.

[Joe']

Ah, thanks! I was going crazy over that, thanks man!

[shadowgrin]

maybe now i can make a comic book cover of flash bomba.

You watch that shite? I hope you die a horrible death.

[GH33]

Lean, thanks, finally your S.H.I.T. has come out i'll study that...
BTW i was wondering if you use Illustrator, since vectoring is easier there, IMO
