Description Final two-page spread for Nonplayer #1, released April 6 2011 by Image Comics. You can buy a copy of the comic here: [link]

And the digital version of the comic can be found here: [link]

All of the pages for Nonplayer are drawn directly in Photoshop CS3 using a Cintiq tablet monitor. For line work I use default brush settings at 100% hardness.

For coloring, I use the popular Multifill and Flatten plugins ([link] ) to build selectable areas of color, and then I add new layers of color at different blend modes and opacities (this is a pretty random, haphazard, and slow process).

Excellent work. It's rare for comic artists to put such attention into backgrounds.

Wow I'm impressed, and that hard to do anymore the composition and line work are nice and clean, maybe a bit more line weight in a few places might help with separation but on the whole Kudos. Keep it up your on your way.the color work is really nice to good use of the palette u have chosen.

people often leave DA, this person seems pretty busy. Not surprising they've been gone so long.

ArtofChase In reply to SpongeMuffin [2013-01-21 07:34:28 +0000 UTC]

That's all well and good, but perhaps daily deviations should go to people who would appreciate them. Yourself, for instance. Someone who hasn't been active for over 13 months probably wouldn't know, or care.

I always figured DD's were for the viewers to see beautiful art they wouldn't otherwise find on the front page. I'm glad this guy got a DD! His gallery is amazing.
