Another Vision card
I think this was the only Upper Deck Card that I painted. The others were all pen & ink with photoshop colors.

Beautiful stuff, love that first pencil sketch.
ReplyDeleteNice job. Do you use gouache for your color work? While most of it has a watercolor look, there are some opaque looking areas too...just curious.
ReplyDeleteHi Mike! Yes, I use gouache once in a while. Most of the Man-Thing pages are painted in watercolor and gouache.
ReplyDeleteReally like how the coloring on Scarlet Witch's arm/back came out. It blends in to offer a lighting effect without coming off forced. And using grey behind Vision makes that green costume stand out while having a white, negative space behind SW has her pop out.
ReplyDeleteMan Thing pages = ughh....another project we're all waiting to see published.
This is just achingly beautiful. (They're 'not quite' touching, are they...) The early 70's subplot with their budding romance really stands out in my memory and this one image captures it perfectly. Oh, the regret-! I should have eBayed a kidney and bid through the roof on this-!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pin up!
ReplyDeleteThe second drawing is my favorite, specially the face shadows.
The final color reminds me the works of a classic spanish illustrator named Lopez Espí.
Do you know his work?
Congrats again for your ability!!!!!!
Really beautiful work of two of my favorite characters. Thanks for posting Kevin.
ReplyDeleteJavier: I wasn't familiar with his work but googled his name and saw some nice examples. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure!
ReplyDeleteHe did some very nice covers-recreations for spanish Marvel comics editions.
