Description *Edit- removed the blur on the background
(after all that work that blur was bugging me),
enlarged and repositioned the character,
and desaturated the skin tones a bit.

First Vindicator art of 2012, Yea!

was doing $30 sketch commissions so I jumped on it and got this great sketch [link] in the mail!
Jerry's work amazes me because he's able to pack so much style and flair in so few lines.

After a few tweaks I inked, colored and added a meticulously drawn background
(after all that work I really hated to blur it but it just looked better that way)
I'm really happy with the way it came out

Here's the original sketch by [link]
Inks, colors, and background by
and here's the photo used for background reference [link]

Hope everyone had a Happy New Year!

This is pretty damn awesome. If you hadn't stated that theFranchize did this I would have assumed this was all you. Your inking style is really unique. Great job the both of you.

His V design the way I see it here and in your avatar has it going all the way under the arms, possibly connecting. I've been drawing a thin separate V on front or back.

RODCOM1000 In reply to hulkdaddyg [2012-01-03 06:19:40 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, it's meant to connect under the arm.
Your earlier images of Vector were correct, I assumed you were adding your own touch when started using the thin V.

No...I was just wrong. Good news! Gives me an excuse to draw more Vector art!
