Description **UPDATE Colors**

The colors for this piuece are absolutely gaudy and eye-popping. I guess that's the purpose of an advertising poster but still, it's all over the place.

Iron Man was the most fun to do. Since he has only 2 swatch sets, he was great practice for light sources and reflected light, a concept I'm still grasping.

**UPDATE Inks**

Inks are done!

Inking this was harder then I imagined. Fun, but a little difficult. I used a thresholded pentel brush pen's for the Iron Men's lines.

What is thresholding? I little process of snipping and clipping I do to my brushes in order to make the lines appear more mechanical and less organic.

As you can sea, the crow quill pen and I have been going to couple's counseling and we get a long much better now

**UPDATE Pencils**

So... much... FUN! And it's gonna be even more fun to ink... though it will give me a bit fo a headache

This is the first poster of my 4 giant comissions. I'll be updating this dev as I develop the inks and colors so you guys can critique every step of the way. I really wanna get this right so don't hesitate

I really haven't drawn Iron Man or War Machine before, and I think I wanna do it again sometime soon. That's 90's Storm in the background playing Thor, btw.

8H, 2H and F Pencils on vellum finish bristol. Best paper ever, except corsican, if your into grayscale pencils.

Great job!!!

Don't worry about the colors....i mean, Iron Man is orange and yellow, and Akuma uses purple energy...what did you expect?

I liked how you took each character's main colors and made a little aura around them with it.

the entire thing was great. The only thing i noticed (and this is reeeeally nitpicky) is that Iron Man's eyes are usually drawn a bit more rectangular.
See? i told you it was nitpicky

anyways, great job, A++

Thanks! Yeah, the colors were a headache because of the mount of light sources (4 in total, + 3 reflected light sources on the Iron Men).

Thanks

I've still got a long way to go in the color department, though. You know, those choices of what to do, and more importantly, what NOT to do.

LordoftheBling-XXL [2008-11-01 05:35:06 +0000 UTC]

this is pretty tight! i recommend that u use storms lightning and akumas purple energy as the lighting sources in here in terms o coloring. great work

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

AenTheArtist In reply to LordoftheBling-XXL [2008-11-01 05:42:25 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! Yeah, this has several light sources. Thing is, it's gonna be pretty hard. Akuma is actually generating 2 light sources; one is his Gou Hadouken, the other is the little black/red aura that appears on his back that flashes for a split second before he does a hyper move in the videogames.

So, yeah... it's gonna be a bit of a headache to color...

Si, tienes toda la razon, las manos de storm estan chiquititas. Sera corregido.

Hmm, tambien la manita de War Machine necesita un poquito mas.

ProfessorMarkus [2008-10-31 02:40:05 +0000 UTC]

Looks great! only complaints I have is that Storm's hands look a little too small, as well as warmachine's rocket launchers on his back seem to be at an odd angle.

congrats on your comissions!

AenTheArtist In reply to ProfessorMarkus [2008-10-31 18:00:59 +0000 UTC]

Well, that's 2 people who said storm's mitts look too small so I guess I'll right that in the inks.
