Hi,

You can see here a drawing I made last night.

 -

I wanted to change the dynamic of the usual pic of the male heroes with the girls falling at their feets.

I'm still unhappy with the inking; it is the second time I use India Ink, and for the first time, I used only a brush, so the results are not really professional.

Some of you can help me: how can you make a nice starfield?

Best,

David

Frog Kid, I can't help you with any art questions but just wanted to say that your sketch is great - it made me laugh. Brainy looks so goofy! It is nice to see the traditional roles reversed also - and suits Andromeda.
 
Posted by Greybird on :
 
Such a hilarious picture makes me think that Laurel is an old Stones fan.

"Under my thumb ..."
 
Posted by Varalent on :
 
I enjoyed it as well. And I think the starfield looks fine.
 
Posted by Arachne on :
 
Here I was about to make a comment on how cool and moody the pic is -- and then I scroll down a bit and see Brainy. [lol] I love it!
 
Posted by deanlegion on :
 
This drawing came at the perfect time considering what's going on in the book! Seems Brainy's just a very passionate guy...

The expression of the face of B5 is really special. Thanks for sharing this with the group David.

Me too! Only for me, it was a function of the time it took for the image to load (I've a slow connection).

I particularly love Brainy's lovestruck expression -- very nice! [Smile]

Sweet pic of Dawnstar ... amazing.
 
Posted by Harbinger on :
 
Looks like Laurel is a woman after my own heart, very nice pose, and the look on brainys' face is priceless [lol]

I like your Triad pose too, don't think I've ever seen her quite like that before!

But your Dawnstar is breath taking! By far the best bit of fan art I've seen in... well weeks probably - there are a lot of talented artists on this board. And Frog Kid, you are definitely up there with the best of them!

Thank you for taking the time to share this with us.

Frog Kid, these drawings are terrific. That Dawny is just awesome! I'd love to see that in full color. Bet it would make one hell of a poster! Grey is going to go gaga when he sees it (if he hasn't already!)

Very, very nice drawings David. Especially like the Triad one and the fact that all three girls have quite different physiques suited to their characters. And Brainy is fabulous too. [Big Grin]

As for the starfield, I presume you did it the way that i did it the first time I drew characters with starfield costumes (Mon and Troia) which is to sort of paint the ink around where you want the stars to go so leaving them white. If so you'll know it's hideously time consuming and doesn't always leave the best results. Now however I have a really secret trick. Shhh, don't tel anyone.... white ink. Simple as that. Didn't occur to me for ages until Steve Sadowski (I think, might have been Phil Jimenez) mentioned it. Basically ink the whole area of the starfield completely black and then when it's dry use a small brush and white ink to add the stars. Suddenly it gets so much easier and you can more stars in without it looking bitty. You can also do what Jinenez often does with Troia's costume which is include things like shooting stars which add a feeling of movement to the costume as well.
 
Posted by Frog Kid on :
 
Thanks.

For my starfield, I used ink and later painted the star with "gouache", but I found the gouache not clean enough. I never thought of white ink!
 
Posted by TriSaber on :
 
I do all my inking digitally in a vector-based drawing program, so it's easy for me to create a fill pattern in Coreldraw by manipulating the values.

I had to figure this out for when the time comes do render Star Boy and the Infinite Man.

Thanks, Harbinger. I think I will have to make small change to his chest and back(maybe enlarge it). I'm still not sure. And I know that Quislet will appear on the final image(he was drawn on a different page).
 
Posted by TriSaber on :
 
Ooh ... very well done. Makes me wanna tackle Tellus next ... but I got a few ahead of him.
 
Posted by Varalent on :
 
Wow, what a great Tellus! Can't wait to see the final version!
 
Posted by Frog Kid on :
 
I finally inked the Tellus Sketch. Sorry for the poor quality of the scan. Keep in mind I'm still learning the use of brush for the inking, so everything is not as clean as I'd like.

Posted by Lightning Lad on :
 
Very nice job! Especially if you are still learning to use the brush.

And I like the addition of Quislet. Two of my favorite Steve Lightle creations.

Triad is so sweet!

I love the camera angle that you chose for Tellus. Very powerful. Suitable for framing as we say.

Maybe Scott could find a way to make a wallpaper with it? [Big Grin] It would look great on my computer.
 
Posted by Arachne on :
 
Great work. You must have taken some time to study Tellus's anatomy. [Smile]
 
Posted by Satan Claws Cramer on :
 
Increasingly striking work, Frog Kid! Glad you added Quislet, too.

That pic of Triad made me wonder if she could partially split into three - as Invisible Kid can become partially invisible. Could she "sprout" 3 sets of arms without becoming 3 entire bodies?

(Actually, my first reaction was "Shades of Dr. Mayavale", but that quickly passed.)
 
Posted by andrewnolan2001 on :
 
David,

The pictue of Tellus and Quislet are simply outstanding. Wow, I haven't seen fan art of that quality in quite some time.

Triad in the eastern influenced picture was also very creative. This is the one that my wife enjoyed the most.

Do you plan to color the Dawnstar and Tellus pictures? Having these as wall paper on the computer would be really cool!

Thanks again for sharing these with the group!

Dave

{ Maybe Scott could find a way to make a wallpaper with it? }

(1) Right-click on the image above in your browser.
(2) Choose "Set as Wallpaper."

That's it. Easy, no separate file-saving or format-changing needed, but few Windows manuals bother to explain it.

If you've done this before, it'll replace the graphic you used previously as wallpaper. You can copy and save the graphic into another folder by looking for it in your main Windows folder (it'll be a bitmap ending in .bmp).
 
Posted by Frog Kid on :
 
I'd like to thanks all the people for the compliment.

And now, let me show you my latest drawing:

FERRO LAD!

Posted by Arachne on :
 
Nice. You really captured the feel of the 30th century.
 
Posted by Blockade Boy on :
 
I see the eye-stalk thingy is praying to the icon for the Church of the Iron Son.

I'm telling ya, you can't go wrong with using an upside down space rocket for a clubhouse. The only way to go.

Greybird, thanks. Actually I knew that (some operating systems call it "background" instead of "wallpaper") but the OS will attempt to scale the picture which would cause considerable distortion. That picture would need to be proportionally cropped and I don't have a good graphics program.

Which one? The Tellus/Quislet or Triad? I'll attempt something that'll fit an 800x600 screen without throwing off all the proportions.

Right now I'm picturing Jo on Rimbor. I'm not sure about his uniform. If he is alone,
any uniform will make the deal. If I decide Tynia is here, since I prefer the Phantom Girl version, it might be pre-crisis. Of course, I could decide to put Kono in the mix, so we could have the TMK version... errr, are you sure you don't want to see Proty? [Eek!]

Tellus/Quislet if you could and if Frog Kid has no objections!

I tried it using Greybird's suggestion but it did stretch quite a bit. I'd rather have cropped than stretched (or shrunk and framed?)

No problem with me, Blockade Boy.

If some of you people want to try to colorize the pics, it would make me happy. I'm always interested by the others takes on my drawing.
 
Posted by Bevis on :
 
Only been inking for fifteen days? Bloody hell, I've been using a brush to partially ink most of my stuff for a couple of years now and I'm nowhere near as good at that. Believe me inking with a brush is not an easy skill to master (Phil Jimenez said he doesn't use brushes at all when he's inking because he simply can't do it so just uses pens) so to be that good in just fifteen days is pretty amazing. That plus being just a damn fine artist (the 'camera angle' for the Tellus shot is inspried) makes me feel very jealous.

Here is a pic of ultra Boy. I had a background planned(a street of Rimbor), but I still need to work on it.

Varalent, I will draw Mon-El one of these day(he is one of my favorite), but it won't be before January. The few next weeks will be busy and I won't be able to draw a lot(and I've got a pic to finish for Christmas).
Blockade Boy, I think it's a guy from Rimbor.

Anyway, here is the pic of the founders I posted in the founders wing, a pic of Sensor Girl, and a pic of various; the last two were published in the 1st issue of Sleepnet(a fanzine created by great Legion fan James Simmons - I'm his artist. We already made 3 issues). You can find it in the Legion APA, Interlac.

Posted by Frog Kid on :
 
Thanks, MEL, but I don't think my drawings are consistent enough to be published...
 
Posted by Greybird on :
 
Why not aspire to it? You've often shown a great deal of kinetic grace or fluid emotion in a static panel. (I'm thinking of your Christmas card right now.) That's what some professional comics artists haven't quite mastered.

She's seeking a particular target ... someone she's tracking? a way out of this desert? What it is doesn't matter much, because her eyes and attention are put forward first. I like the intensity of her gaze, made to shape the rest of her body, including her far-from-relaxed wings.

More is implied here about her than we see in the usual portrait drawing -- it tells a fragment of a story. I very much like the straightforward portraits, but it's a pleasure to also see her in a setting suggesting action.
 
Posted by Frog Kid on :
 
Thanks for the comments, Greybird. When I say I don't think my drawings are consistent, the proof is in this thread. When you look at the various pics I did, some are more realistics(the dawnstar pics, Sensor girl ...), others have a "cartoony" feel(founders, triad, Mon-El)... it is not made on purpose. But I also think one one my problem is I don't trust myself to be that good...

About the pic: At first, she was supposed to look down, toward the valley, but I thought it was be better to make her look the sky. IMO it was interesting to have a "grounded" winged character, not on the ground but not really in the sky either. She is firmly sitting on the rock, but want to fly away.

By the way, it's not a desert in the background: it is a very distant and very dense forrest on StarHaven(but there was now way you could see it - it is supposed to be too far to see the details).

Seriously FK, your stuff is really pretty good. I enjoy looking at your pencils. You put some life into the figures and often show snapshots of their lives. This one and the Gim Allon pic are just wonderful.

If you're worried about consistancy you might try a little of what Dean's been doing and look at redrawing a few pages of sequential art using different camera angles or POVs. You'll find some things you didn't know about your skills as you work through an exercise like that.

Great Dawnstar Frog Kid! Thank you for sharing it!

There's definitely a story to be told there. To me it looks like she's been wounded, knocked out of the sky by an unseen villian, but is still in the fight and readying herself to soar back into the battle.

This would make a great cover!

OK,

I draw yesterday my take on the first 2 pages of the preview by Mr Waid & Mr Kitson.

I kept the number of panels, but changed the camera angle, and designed my own aliens/characters. Let me know what you like/dislike, what works and what doesn't work, etc...

I plan to work on the next pages not until next week.

Note that some details are missing because of the quality of the scans.

Posted by RTVU2 on :
 
Hey Frog Kid!

Great redo...love the first page. Great expression on the kids! Great angles too.

Great job on the second page but one minor thing. We know from the preview that the alien was on a talk show, in your first panel on the second page it looks more like just two people speaking. And the jump from that to the planetscape is a bit jarring. However the emotion on the face of the kids are dead on.

Why haven't you tried out for CBR'S Comic Book Idol! You would be perfect! And you already have a great estbalished fan base here!

Great Job!
 
Posted by Frog Kid on :
 
Thanks RTVU2!

I agree it could have been better shown that it was a talk show, and I think the problem is I tried too hard to be different from Barry's layout.

Edited to add: Comic books Idol seems interesting, but I always heard too late about it!

About my own take on the Legion preview, I must say I'm desesperate: looking at the pages I posted, I can't find one thing I like in it. It is too rushed. I can spot many errors. I think I will re-do them.

I love the Shady/M'on piece! These'll be perfect if the couples theme wins for the February Museum of Legion Arts update.

Here is the christmas-themed cover to Interlac 184 (I don't really like this one - I like the mood but the characters are ugly):  -

Here is a pic of Supergirl with Streaky (Tried to use Zip-A-Tone for the first time - it's freaking hard to use!!!!!)

And here a drawing of Wildfire (with Zip-A-Tone too - The Kirby dots were done using Gimp, a freeware that allow you to do photoshop like manip)

These images aren't showing up for me, FK! [Frown]

I can see them. You see nothing at all?

I see them, Frog. And they look great. Even unfinished, I really like that Dawnstar piece. Also digging all the Super Pet appearances.

For the record, I can see 'em FK. Bummer that FC can't... the Supergirl and Streaky piece would tickle her! [LOL] Streaky looks a bit peeved... [Streaky]

The Dawny desktop looks amazing! I hope you can find the time to finish it someday. [Smile]
