Mr. Fantastic

Well here is the final colored piece. While I was coloring it, Tess' face looked funny so I erased her face and redrew it with my tablet. I also didn't like Gears' eyes, so I fexed them as well. I see better when it is zoomed in, heh heh. I used my new coloring method again on this one. So whatcha think?

Here are the inks... I cleaned it up a bit and made some minor modifications. Gah inking and coloring takes forever to do... :x Oh and that is not a holster, it is a bow on the back of her waist. You will see it better once it is colored. Lol. Tho a holster would have been a good idea too... The bad thing about posting scanned pencil images is that they do not come out very well. You lose some shading, and others become REALLY REALLY DARK, and of course there are smudges, etc... Hopefully the inks give you a better representation.

Novac wanted Gears to be skinnier and the face less rough (younger). Here are the changes.

I just drew this for Novac (on the M&M official forums). He requested it via PM and I really love the concept. I plan on using the duo as a villain team in my own M&M campaign. Anyways, here it is. I will color it once he gives the go ahead that he is happy with it. The dude is named "Gears" and the little girl is "Tess LaCoil". Check his thread for the details on these two characters. http://www.atomicthinktank.com/viewtopic.php?t=27338 I call this picture, "Tess cover me while I check my Blackberry..."

TAZER IN COLOR! This is the longest I spent on any colorizing. I am trying a different technique - 5 layer airbrush with smudge blending... Here is the before and after. I would appreciate any feedback on the color because this is the first time I've used this technique...

Oh, I have the writeup on this site here. http://ultimatesuperheroreview.sasktelw ... utline.htm Just go to Session 1, that is where they met. If you don't have time to read the whole thing I will give you the quick and dirty story. Basically: Taser went to go save her brother (drug addict) from some seedy people in the warehouse district. There happened to be something else going down at the same time in the same warehouse which drew The Ghost. Both ended up bumping into each other inadvertently when they were scoping out the situation. They agreed to work together. They did a great job working together to deal with the situation. Instead of each of them working alone they felt their powers complemented each other and they were stronger as a team. So they teamed up. SALVAGE was just introduced today (his write up and how he joined is in the Session 2 link. It is more complicated... heh heh.

How do they get on what?

Well I just finished drawing the second hero in my M&M Campaign. His name is "The Ghost". He is a Paramedic by trade, and he has quick change. Basically he takes off his jacket (with all the paramedic symbols on it), throws on his headset, and a few holsters and he is ready to go. This is a picture of him changing into his costume, heh heh. So his costume is a paramedic uniform without the jacket. The black suit you see underneath his paramedic outfit is his darksuit (device). When he wants to go really covert, he takes off his paramedic stuff, and goes with the daksuit. His Shoulder belt (teleportation), darksuit (intangibility, protection, etc) and one of his guns (a plasma control gun) are his 3 devices. He likes to use a standard gun with rubber bullets to handle the thugs. Anyways here is Taser and The Ghost side by side so you can see two of the three members of the team in one view.

Session two done and updated. :)

Something was missingin her waist area, so I made a little lightning pattern there and updated the picture. She wants a dynamic pose, and a Secret ID picture as well. I am guessing when my other players see that they will want me to do theirs as well. It will probably look like favoritism in the M&M group if I don't. The good news is we are having a 2 week break between todays session and the next one, so maybe I can get all the pencils done for the other two characters as well by then. I am wanting to draw the villains I am using in my campaign as well so the players have an idea what they look like (especially the ones I will be using more than once). Man suddenly I have a TON to draw. I have a week of holidays booked in the third week of March, might have to "power draw" during that time. I posted this picture for feedback on one other forum, and within a few hours got 2 PMs requesting me to draw their characters, and no replies to the post... So I am guessing the costume design my wife did was pretty good, as I haven't received any negative feedback as of yet. Most people in that other forum usually only post if there is something they do not like about the drawing, or they are trying to suck up to a "published" pro who is posting there hoping they will get some free art I am sure. It takes me roughly 5-6 hours to color a penciled drawing, and only 1-2 hour to draw it. So I can draw 3 pictures in the time it takes to color one. My colorizing is not very good, and sometimes the pencil drawing looks better than the colorized one, so I am wondering if it is worth the effort to color them at all... :| I need to meet a few people who are good at colorizing/inking but doesn't like drawing, heh heh. Oh. I don't know if any of you are comic collectors, but With the new marvel comic "The Exiles", Tom Grummett is the artist of that comic. He happens to live here in Canada, and "happened" to sign my first issue of the comic yesterday... So I was very excited. I have one other comic with his signature on it, and it was a comic he created and did prior to getting famous and working for DC and Marvel. :D

I am gonna make things a little more complicated. My wife and I were talking about the two pictures, and she said the second picture's pose was too dynamic, and you couldn't see her costume. :shock: SOOOOOOO... I drew YET ANOTHER ONE! GAH!!! She can be very picky... Unfortunately I couldn't argue with her... She has a point. I took my time on this one to try and get the costume details down the way she wanted them and did a little bit of shading to make it look a bit better than the other two... This one is a static pose that shows off her costume. Since she watched me draw this and pointed out what she wanted for costume, she seems to like this one the best so far (It was hard to draw with someone peering over my shoulder criticizing things as I was drawing). The criticizing was something like this... Wife: "I don't like that. Can you change it to look like this." Me: "What the hell is that?" Wife: "Hair" Me: "OMG, I thought it was a dog run over by a truck for a second!" Wife: "Shut up just draw it" Me: Sigh... She also wants me to draw a dynamic pose with this costume and hair style. So it looks like there is gonna be another picture soon. :shock: :|

I drew a second version of Taser (Electric Controller). My wife has asked if I could post both drawings here for you to vote and help her choose which drawing she should use to represent her character. I will only color one of these pictures. 1) or 2)
