Thanks I used a brush for the smoke then another brush with white ink to dash in a small strokes (to help break it up a bit). The buildings in the background are all done with Rapidograph pens (this was before I got a better handle on my crow quill).

Great pencils. You really set the scene here. I get a slight feeling of 'another day at the office' for these guys.

Sebbythefreak [2008-04-18 02:30:43 +0000 UTC]

Awesome! I love the spatter and gore too!
Do you do the little dots with white ink?

It's not perfect, like the right guy's pocket looks disembodied (looks more like part of the sleeve) but I blame the source art, not your inking = P

mechangel2002 In reply to Sebbythefreak [2008-04-18 04:50:13 +0000 UTC]

Thanks

The white spatter on the black, and the black spatter along the metal vent thing that's sticking up on the ground was all done with toothbrush. The gore on the severed arm was drybrush.

Yeah I should've put in a few lines to show the hand bulging in the pocket lol.

omgCAM [2008-04-08 05:01:21 +0000 UTC]

I'm struggling my way through learning how to ink (I lose a lot of the original pencils in the process), but it's inking like this that gives me references I can use to build my technique.

Clean, crisp, and gorgeous lines. I also like how you do not feel the need to resort to uber-thick outlines to make your work stand out.

mechangel2002 In reply to omgCAM [2008-04-08 06:06:34 +0000 UTC]

Hmmm technically you're supposed to ink over the pencils anyways If you're afraid of ruining original pencils, you could buy separate art boards and print the pencils on them in a shade of blue called Non Photo Blue. Whatever leftover blue there is when the inks are done is easily removed in Photoshop (just scan in greyscale then adjust to get rid of the grey).

Thanks yeah only a few penciler's styles call for uber thick lines to pop the foreground out, but a good inker always knows when less is more

great work, as usual! I like how you're balancing your blacks on this page, gradually getting heavier on either side as you move towards the major area of focus. You also clarified a few details, such as the smoke from the guy's cigarette, a few background elements, and the smog coming from the chimneys. I appreciate attention to detail, and not just robotic reproduction of someone else's linework. To me, that's where the art comes in: Conveying what you want to say, being clear about where you want the focus to be without losing any of the original information. Anyway, that's enough babble for now. Keep up the good work!

mechangel2002 In reply to g0st [2008-03-23 20:02:40 +0000 UTC]

Thanks Yeah with the background and everything I put a lot of work into keeping the depths of field separated. I also fixed the 5 different kinds of windows in the building on the left side of the background And added spatter and gore to the dismembered limbs XD

I really like how the pipe on the lower left came out, but the characters' faces seem different from pencil to inks. Not sure how I feel about that. Also like the fog transparency and how you tightened up a the pencils. Digging those shoes.

Odd, but I couldn't find Tempest at my local comic shop, but the Ronin Studios Hope Graphic novel was there, finally, today. Gonna pick that up when I get the chance.
