Description
This is a card I did several months ago for TOPPS' new Indiana Jones card set.It's not the card I had intended to do, as I was working with a damaged hand (which slowed me down) and their was a miscommunication about the deadline. My original idea had Indy and Theresa walking through the Norse ruins like they are here, but there were skeletons and skulls, and a background.
When I ran out of time, I took my stufy from my sketchbook, scanned it, and colored it; much like how I did the Rogue litho.
I felt that the final was kind of dull, with nothing of interest going on around their legs & feet (all those missing skulls and skeletons), so I cropped in and made the art look like a frame from one of the movies. I'll post that next...
BTW, since I assumed everyone else in the set would be doing moments from the films, I picked as my subject a scene from Dark Horse Comics' INDIANA JONES ADVENTURES, VOL. I, a digest that came out in May of this year. A great little Indy comic that feels very much like the films, especially RAIDERS. Check it out; it's well-written & drawn.

Considering your injury and the time you had to do it I think it's amazing! The lighting and colouring on their faces really brings this piece to life.

I just barely saw the skeleton right behind/between them. That's a really cool subtle effect there. So, do you do the penwork of this, scan it in and then do all the coloring and effects in PS?

I love your use of painted colour whilst still retaining the comic style outline - trying to do that myself at the moment (and finding it very difficult)

I do like the muted skull in the background, it seems as though it might come out of the fog and attack them at any time.

Your work with a damaged hand is better than most artists when healthy.

Sweetness, man!
Give yourself a break, buddy! I get that it's not what you intended, but really, how often in this job do you get exactly what you originally intended?
If you hadn't pointed it out I really don't think anyone would have thought of it as less than great. Not that they do now, heh.

Absolutely stunning. *u* It reminds me so much of Norman Rockwell's work, who is my all-time favorite artist~
You really captured the characters here. Awesome work.

This is amazing, and hey you managed to get a skeleton in behind them, that counts for something! And their faces are wonderfully done! C:

Oh, I just noticed that one creepy skull behind them! Nicely done!

Really impressed not only by just the general awesomeness, but by the many ways in which the girl is simultaneously sexy in a _modern_ way while still evoking some ideals of sexiness for the 1930s.
