Waaah! Finally came around to redesign the cast! I m currently experimenting with larger canvas-sizes. - Time to fill up that 1TB HDD! XD
Also I m messing around with line-shading and solid color-shading in that one as some sort of reference for future images and mostly comics. Crosshatching is so much fun to do and I really enjoy the look of it. So expect this style to pop up more often in the future!
As for the piece itself: It actually wasn t meant to be a full illustrated group-picture. I actually just wanted to try out different poses, outfits and colorshemes for the gang. With other words: This was actually never meant to be uploaded! Anyways, halfway through the shading I thought it would be cool to finish this one up in a big picture, so I scaled and arranged the characters, added a little background (Nothing all too fancy - main-focus of this one are the characters after all and a scene turns incredibly busy if you have so many characters and a highly detailed background!), so I went with some sort of moon-surface (Outcasts is Science-Fantasy after all!). As for the characters in the scene itself: They are from my comic-series "Outcasts" which I want to reboot anytime soon. From left to right: Kami-Ra, Kuz, Jurij, Concer, Keo, Eliot, Mercury.
Anyways, that s pretty much my new comic-style. It s faster than a soft shading-style and in my opinion more impactfull than simple cel-shading (Yes, it s spelled Cel-Shading, not Cell-shading! Just google it!). It just has that comic-feel to it what I, as an old comic-buff, really enjoy. I m currently reading up on some of the classic Marvel-comics in order to grab a better hold on the style. That s just my tip on learning stuff: Grab tons of reference-material! - Makes learning stuff way simpler.
