Description "Survival of the Fittest." Man its great drawing baddies and i think this is the first time ive drawn a villain in a very long time. No strict anatomical bounderies and you can go all out with wrinkles and shit!

It was supposed to be a submission for Marvel Masterpieces sketch cards but i recently found out they stopped taking in submissions which is sad coz i did 3 of em. So decided to finish this one. It isnt as good as i wanted it to be but im happy with it.

Pencil and paper. Scanner. Photoshop. Armor design influenced by my Apocalypse action figure. No other references were used.

Hope you guys like it!

I guess silence does indeed mean a lot huh? Too bad though coz they aint taking in submissions. sigh.

BTW, you're not in a hurry with that color job right? If i were free, it wouldve been done now but im working on 4-5 other things so it might take a while. hope its ok...

I think you did too, it looks realistic don't be afraid of doing stuff really dark

semaj007 In reply to scheherazadenerai [2008-07-08 15:50:35 +0000 UTC]

Id actually opt to do pieces darker and play with shadows but most of the characters i do need to be in the light. That's why i chose apocalypse coz i can play around with almost anything!

I actually got 4-5 more pieces to do before the end of July... so much for making a 2nd entry for the club...sigh. Money first, pleasure later.

Funny thing with that, I've not managed to do anything more on that because suddenly people have given me a load of ideas as for what to draw! Also I've got to finish my friend's (overdue) birthday card picture as well haha. I don't have much left of it to do tho

So what are you gonna submit for the contest then? You could submit your friend's bday present as well right?

Haha well I've still got a lot of time to do the polka dot girl thing, I've nearly finished it anyway. I don't think I could submit the bday present as it's a photoshop painting of David Tennant

Man I hate Apocalypse, he's one of my favorite x-men characters/villians, but he's so scary! I love all his back story, it goes all the way back to egyptian times. He's so powerful.

Awesome work mate, you captured him well. I like the texture on the armour.

En Sabah Nur! Hey, where did he go btw? i havent heard from him for quite a while after that fusion with cyclops.

Anyhow, thanks mate! i juz added a lil bit of scratchiness to the armor. Glad it worked out well.

Whoa...that's tight. If I were you, I'd turn this pic in whether they're accepting submissions or not, man. At worst, it'll be ignored; at best, it could nab you a job! Seriously, this is pro-level stuff, as far as I'm concerned.

semaj007 In reply to GavinMichelli [2008-07-08 07:28:31 +0000 UTC]

Hey bro.. i did turn it in and he said it was good but they only accept traditional pieces for the sketch cards... DOH! LOL... man, didnt know that and funny how i didnt notice that all the other deviants were using ink washes and watercolors... LOL

semaj007 In reply to GavinMichelli [2008-07-07 23:31:43 +0000 UTC]

Hmmm.... you're right. But im juz not confident enough that i could deliver the same level if i were i asked to do a female character or a clean cut good guy. Then again, they could always cut me out right? LOL.... Who was it again that's accepting the submissions?

Thanks man!

Maybe if i do more good stuff, i could make a GIF icon where it could showcase some pieces but id still want to have my sig in there as well.

Im glad you love it Vass. I juz got hit by some very strong urge to do a Marvel Masterpieces card after seeing others do em.
