The movie was good, but the comic was better storywise (at least until it got to the "armageddon" story line, now it just sucks ) Thank you again, glad you like it!

Earlier there's a scene where he's inside the chair (you can see his eyes opening on the back of it), when he asks her to sit they show this phallic looking thing writhing on the seat...

To be honest with you, I think you used too saturated a red for this piece. It would have looked real eerie and such if you had used a desaturated green or grey, using the green light to accent the folds of the fabric. As it is now, the red clashes with the green, and you don't really get that double-light-source effect.
Remember: complimentary light dulls local hues.
Just a friendly tip for next time. Looks real nice otherwise.

Thanks for the tip! I'm still pretty new at working in Photoshop (started a little over a month ago, tablets kick ass!!!), and I'm still getting used to transferring my painting knowledge from canvas to computer. To be honest, I kinda feel a little stupid because the complimentary light rule hasn't even clicked in the mental transfer process until you brought it up.
But I am very grateful you did. I'll have to remember that in my next piece. Thank you very much stopping by, and for the constructive criticism, it really helps a lot!

I haven't read Spawn since issue 50. But some things never change. The colors would definitly fit in the comic.
I like his right arm piece thingy but it looks a little distracting. It isn't clear what it is but the light effects are a good touch.
Nice work.

That's one Capullo's huge spiked gauntlets. was doing Capullo's "armored" version of Spawn. It was also the biggest pain in the ass to ink in the whole peice , but it came out alright. Thanks for the compliment on the light effects, it was a last minuite touch, glad you like it.

I stopped reading after issue 50. Capullo had been drawing it for a while. I didn't like the style switch. Or the new costume.
The coloring is what I liked best. It was very fitting.

I've read up to the end of the armageddon storyline (issue #163 I think), and initially, I was not too thrilled with the style switch either. I think Capullo eventually got better as the series progressed (his first few with Houdini were terrible) and has done some great work taking over after Angel Medina left. The thing that I find both interesting and frustrating about Spawn is how the story goes though this predictable pattern of getting really good for 6-8 issues, to suddenly dragging for another 6-8 issues. Weird.

That's basiclly how it started, story telling wise. Some issues were full of action, some weren't. I admit I only bought the first 5 issues because Macfarlane was drawing. Of course that was the way with all the Image comics(except Youndblood) when they first came out.
I hadn't known of another artist taking over after Capullo. That's how far I got from Spawn. Didn't really care anymore. It just wasn't a comic I wanted to read anymore.

hcaep In reply to thawk [2007-06-21 05:02:05 +0000 UTC]
I did the same thing. The first Spider-Man comic I ever bought was McFarlane's Venom story-arc. I followed him from Marvel to Image. Although as much as I love Jim Lee's art, I never got past the first couple of issues of Wildcats because it felt like an X-Men rip-off (and youngblood felt like a X-Force rip-off, too. I never really liked Liefeld's style anyway, very tiny feet and no wrists ). I'll admit, I quit collecting when McFarlane stopped drawing. I only continued because a friend picked up a later issue which intrigued me, but not enough to get all the back issues. Then one of my friend's friends wanted to get rid of thier collection which included almost the entire Spawn run for about $50. So that made it worthwhile.
I understand where you're coming from. I've been feeling that way about Wolverine recently (especially the Origins book). The writers are turning him into a pussy with a persecution complex (gggrrrr).

I used to love the X-Men when Chris Claremont wrote it. Now I avoid X-titles like the plague.
Invincible is the only Image title I read now. I've gotten very selective with my choices. I'm a reader and if I don't get my moneys worth then I don't buy it.
I'm wanting to get rid of my Spawn books. I might put them on ebay or something. Just to get something back you know?

ebays probably your best bet on that, good luck. I got pretty selective myself (although I got laid off at the end of January, so I'm not collecting anything right now ), Haven't checked out Invincible yet, but I've heard good things about it. The last really good story I read was Mark Millar's Wanted. Very awesome.

There are quite a few pro artists here that post somewhat regularly. Which makes me happy cuz they tend to be very help with info, like tools, time spent on projects and a few tips if you ask nicely.

I think it's cool that there are so many artists here that are "approachable". At one point or another I've been involved in the film, comic book, & music industries, and I've always hated the egotists (although they have suprisingly been in the minority). It's like a told a certian Heavy Metal singer once, "Dude, if it wasn't for your fans going out and buying the records, you'd be nothing. So show a little respect (I just politely asked if he was who I thought he was, and he said, "Yeah, now go away.")". I also keep in mind that even if another artist is "beneath me" in the quality of thier work, I used to be where they are now and part of what got me to where I am now was the help and feedback of other artist who were "above me". So I think it would be incredibly messed up on my part not to, for lack of a better term, "pay it forward". And ever since I started drawing as a kid, art for me has always been about getting that "wow" reaction out of other people. I love to help out other artist so they can experience that "wow" feeling too, it's one of the greatest things in the world.

And that's why I love it here. I get to see so many of my favorite artists and talk to them. There are some problems here and there but I really don't see the cons outweighing the pros.
There'a a few artists that I've run into here who really don't have much talent but at least they put stuff out there. Their quality might be lacking but as I look at their profiles and most are under 20. They have very crude work but the passion for art is there.
I like to think that I'm an "above average" artist in terms of skill but I know that what I have learned in my years could be very helpful to someone else. I always try and give as much as I can whenever I post a comment on someones work. I try and careful with my words. I don't want to be one of those egoists that you've talked about. I know my present skill is a product of where I used to be. And hopefully I can be a "high quality" artists that I look up to.

I agree with everything you said 100% I too try and word things carefully. It's difficult because I'm afraid of coming across as an egotistical asshole, and the text does not always do the best job of conveying the message.
I usually look for the positive things in other peoples art, and only point out mistakes if they got the "Advanced Critique Encouraged" on the comments box.
I have dealt with the egotists in the industry, but thankfully haven't run into any on yet!
Then again, most of the one's I've dealt with in the comic book industry wouldn't be into the whole art community thing anyways, since most of them spend thier spare time trashing everyone else's art (because "no one will ever be as good as me", or something to that effect. I remember James O' Barr saying something like that when I met him).
And I agree about the under 20 kids on as well, they're art is just as good, if not better than mine when I was thier age. My 10 year old daughter is always putting herself down because her stuff is not as good as mine, and I keep reminding her that her stuff is a lot better than mine when I was 10. I really hope she keeps it up because she has a lot of passion and potential.
The reason I put "above" and "below" in quotation marks is because art is wonderfully subjective. For example, I think my stuff is better than Frank Miller's (in my personal opinion he's a great guy, an awesome storyteller, but an overated artist), but there are plenty of people who would disagree with me, and that's fine. It's different for all of us.
And thank's for chatting with me about this stuff, I really enjoy it.
Your stuff is great!

I'm trying so hard to get stuff done. I hve a lot of sketches but nothing that I really want to finish. Hopefully soon something will go up.
As for Frank Miller, I agree. His a wonderful storyteller(with the exception of All-Star Batman and Robin with Jim Lee drawing. That book is crap.) and his earlier woirk was great but he has become much more "stylized".
I have fun chatting with you as well. It's nice to know that the other person gets what I'm talking about.

Cool! looking forward to seeing more stuff whenever you're ready. Just don't sweat it, I got a whole bunch of crap I'd love to finish and post (hundreds of pics that'll hopefully never see the light of day ) just take your time and when they're ready, they're ready.
And I agree about Miller's earlier stuff. His art on the Wolverine mini-series and Spectacular Spider-Man was very awe-inspiring.

Just put one up.
I want to be more like John Cassidy in terms of realism. I totally digging his work right now. Also I would like Mark Bagley. He is a top notch professional. Never late and extremely consistant. Those two are my heroes.
