It's great But I just wondering, why Joe changed all the costumes that was brilliantly had created by Bryan Hitch? I didn't think Joe version were bad, it just not too different with the original universe

I was JUST staring at an ad for this poster! Imagine my surprise to see it on dA a few moments later! Your painting looks absolutely incredible over his lines. Mad's work is so dynamic on its own to begin with, your colors that that intensity and runs a muck with it! Honestly, it's an overdose and a huge joy to look at. Beautiful, stunning work.

Thank you very much!
I'm knee deep in the issues, and seems like every page is turning out just a nudge different, and not sure if that's good or bad!

I agree on the IronMan blast, and since I saw this piece a while back, i always thought Giant Man [or whatever his name is] should have had more atmosphere to him. He's drawn like he may be a few stories tall, but colored like he's 3 & 1/2 feet taller than the Cap'n. But I don't know. You're the pro, not me.
Which reminds me:
I was MAJOR fan of the Mad/Arniestotle team up when they were doing their thing. I liked how the paints really gave a new dimension to Mad's style [but I never liked that his actual lines would get compromised so much w/ the paints].
Then I saw your colors on the Venom piece, and I was like "HOLY COW! It's like all of the goodness from the 'ainterly' look, with some awesome graphic cuts...almost like the perfect balance between Liquid and Arnie...AND the lines still show [for the most part]"
And lo, none other than one of the founders was responsible for it.
Awesome.

A perfect balance of colors and focus. I just love the skillfully placed fades on the characters shading them into the bg so that another can take the focus. It takes great talent to place so many characters into one picture and still make the focus correct, as it wont be 'overwhelmed' with detail and clutter.
Ironman's blast seems a bit distracting though, he's way out there...yet the blast is colored as if its more in the foreground. Maybe a bit vibrant as well...mmm just my opinion.
Omfg...Venom's riveted tongue....hahaha...that's awesome...yet brings my mind to the gutter ahhaha!
Anyways, this is my fave in your gallery...gorgeous, amazing and highly inspirational. I'll be showing you and your art off to my DA peeps.

Thanks for all the thoughtful comments and feedback - the ironman blast has been a bit of an eyesore for me ... so good eye for noticing, and I think I'll most likely change it for the 'final' cover to be printed!
Again, thanks for the kind words, and feedback!

100 downloads. Nice.
When I downloaded the colours looked more saturated. I'm not sure how they're faded here but correct upon a download, but I still love this to death.

Nice use of white rimlight, very original and unique! What a huge image what resolution did you work on?
The colors are also beautifully harmonized, specially the skin tones.
Venon is incredible, he really pops out but it's not on your face or over saturated.

Each page is at 450dpi at comic size. A bit unwieldy.

I was wondering who was coloring Mad's work for the Ultimates book. I love your colors, they remind me of liquids colors back in the day when he teamed up with Joe on Battlechasers. Great comibination, can't wait to see the books!
Keep it up!

liquidology In reply to Emosktr [2007-08-28 21:14:08 +0000 UTC]
I'm actually coloring Ultimates. And I co-founded liquid! with Aron Lusen, which worked on Battlechasers...

Well..that all makes sense then (the name should have given it away) just out of curiousity, do you have traditional painting background, or did you just develop this style digitally?
I'm always looking to improve, so I was just curious.

liquidology In reply to Emosktr [2007-08-29 18:12:50 +0000 UTC]
I don't have a 'traditional' art background, however, I do make a point of trying lots of different things, which I think is really helpful.
So I've done marker comps for years, I've done watercolor/acrylics, a little oil, but not a lot, some sculpture, and lots of 3d stuff.
The more you do different disciplines, the better I think you get at each particular one. Again, that's just my philosophy...

Emosktr In reply to liquidology [2007-08-29 20:35:45 +0000 UTC]
Well put, I'm the same way man, not so much traditionally trained, but do a lot of different arts.
good to hear.
cheers!

This is one of my personal favorites. I always loved covers that showed opposing forces clash, whether it be x-men and alpha flight or marvel vs DC. Its beautiful how you made everything pop. Mind if I ask a question? For the line art did you paint over them with a color hold? And when you do paint do you or have you started in gray scale then add the colors atop? Sorry for the long comment. Just love whatcha done

Ooh no problem I understand Mr.Lictner, I kind of figure that out you being a good colorist and all. Iβm hoping we can work together in a near future, thats if
Liquid! isnβt working you too hard. Any projects your working on now?Will you be attending the NYC comic con next year? I will love to pick your brain sometime, sorry if Iβm asking so many questions but youβre really an inspiration...Later
