Do you mind if I take a stab at coloring a couple of these Francis? It's totally okay if not, but I'm dying to give it a try.

Only Superman could show up just like that. hehe.
I like how much black you actually used on Superman. Everything is so well defined without having the heavy blackness around. Gives a great contrast between Batman and Superman.

That first panel reminds me of Frank Miller, really cool. But damn, that superman looks bad ass! Your style is awesome!

The use of black shapes in the first panel is absolutely fantastic. I don't say this often, but i will be buying this issue just for the art.

even though i'm not a fan of the whole figure covering a whole other panel, you pulled it off gloriously, sir.

Good job. Question for you. How do you know how to apply those prisma color markers so well? You know, distinguishing which value of marker to use for every panel? You do a very nice job.

I actually use water color and ink wash with a bit of guash. I'm constantly watering it down or adding more to get the right values.

Hmm...is this a technique that's been practiced for a while? As person striving to be a penciller myself in the comic book industry I'm curious. I've worked with guache before. Not watercolor yet. Just not sure if there is some information on this technique. And ink wash?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah some people have been doing it for a while. It's not as widespread because it does take a bit more time than traditional penciling. I'm not sure if I've seen any ink wash technique sites but there is a lot of water color technique sites including this one [link] there's really nothing to it than to do it. I kinda just figured out techniques that I was comfortable with as I went along. Learning on the job I suppose. The newer pages I'm working on now have even more values and tones to it than these first batch as I add guash and ink wash with the water color.

Even without text, the action is very easy to read. This is excellent visual storytelling!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
thanks! I"m glad the storytelling is very easy to follow, it's always something I strive for.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's something that I think should always be considered. I understand how important text is, but I think people rely more on the visual aspect of comics, therefore it should be the focus.

absolutely agree with you 100%

wow.... you made Sup's look youthful, vibrant and oddly enough, jubilant lol

These look great man, are they going to be printed like this with the gray wash? which would be awesome or will they color over it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
coloured. it'd be dope if they did a black and white version though.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, I agree I'd buy the black and white version. I saw you already answered the same question on the page one post, so thanks for answering it again.
