Description Penciled, inked and colored by Don Davis.
I recently "borrowed" a copy of PhotoShop (even though I didn't know how to use it) and desperately wanted to see how this would turn out in full color. I figured out the basics and it took only about 8 hours to complete this. What do you fellow deviants think of the way it turned out?

I'm actually just a penciler then I get to liking how it turns out and want to see it inked... so I ink it! Then I get to liking the way it turned out inked and want to see what it would look like colored... so I color it! If I knew someone that shared my creative style that could color, it would save me alot of grief! This being my first attempt with photoshop, your compliment makes me think I'm on the right track. Thanks.

Thats how I first started colouring. Just to see how my line art would look in colour. Also, I have this thing about line art not being complete until its coloured. And just like you, even though I do enjoy colouring, I'd much rather let someone else colour (mostly because it takes me too long).

For a first attempt, this is excellent colouring.

I've actually never read the story, But being a nerd from way back, I know it has gone down as one of Marvel's greatest stories told. Which is why, when I was asked to do something with creatures coming out of the woodwork against Doom, I thought of that story as a setting for his request. Knowing full well this scene never took place with these type of demons. Thanks for commenting and stopping by again. I'll keep trying to put up stuff that keeps you coming back.

Thanks! As long as people appreciate what I do, I might as well keep doing it. Awesome may be a little strong though. You'll want to be careful, my collars on my t-shirts will only stretch so far.

Coming from you, thats high praise. Thanks. Took me a little longer than I thought it would. Once I figured out what I was trying to do, it went pretty quick after that.
