Description Presenting 's OC Flareup!

This was a hard piece to do in terms of the pose. Whew! gave me pic of a Green Lantern cover (who's the source of inspiration for the costume design btw) and wanted me to use that pose. Not wanting to be accused of tracing and art theft, i totally changed the position of both arms and the face. Position and anatomical tweaks were also done with the torso and legs. Hope he's happy with this piece.

No references of the face and both upper extremities.

i'm with you here word for word he's great but somehow not his best work in latest works... as for the cover i'd have to give it a second look... i actually follow X-force cuz of him...

I actually like the team itself and its simple straightforward story line. Makes sense too IMO. Have you read his work on the that Spidey story? Best Venom and Carnage ive ever seen!

I think he was an interesting character. He had a miniseries but after that, he was nowhere to be seen. He even had an action figure!

semaj007 In reply to MangaAngel [2008-07-24 10:01:04 +0000 UTC]

Yeah... a lot of people are like that. they dont even bother replying. I dont know why. I mean, its one thing to be busy but not to reply at all? Ive seen people have deviations with every comment unanswered. Whats up with that?

What did you use for the animation? Cool! I did two before but it were gif and i used corel photopaint. It was back in 2002 i think. LOL

MangaAngel In reply to semaj007 [2008-07-24 10:10:01 +0000 UTC]

You are a superheroes master! I like how you always combine the traditional visual concept of superhero with your own style.

semaj007 In reply to TheMaskedShrike [2008-07-22 05:03:46 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! But im guessing you want things to be a bit more dynamic and cartoony for your piece?

Speaking of the piece, after i finish two more pieces, im gonna work on yours next. any screenshots for the costume design?

TheMaskedShrike In reply to semaj007 [2008-07-22 05:19:15 +0000 UTC]

I think that's a great idea for that particular piece. Dynamic and fun, animated, I guess you might say.

(But I still dig this one, too!)

thanks! gotta mix and match my styles to the pieces i need to work on. And its really fun doing different themes!

Glad you liked this one coz it took some time to work the pose out.

Had to balance the OC's owner wishes and not copying other people's artworks so, tada! But the costume has a lot of Green Lantern written all over it. Looks cool though.
