After watching the Tron: Uprising 30-minute preview, I decided to try something I’ve never tried before (*gasp!*) in coloring without an outline.
There was an underdrawing obviously but the main coloring was done by blocking in shapes of color. It’s a little hard for me to work on something without having a clear idea of what the finished piece is gonna look like which is why I need that linework (and why airbrushing gives me so much trouble) so it took a bit of time just to figure out how to work this out. I also tried to work with two different light sources (red and blue) which I find easier with more painterly stuff but I find actually harder with cel-shaded stuff. I liked the “blocky” feel of it so I kept blurs and effects to a minimum.
And I can’t draw lightning to save my life… (via Punk Storm)
I love the hell out of Mr. Miracle and Big Barda but I don’t think I’ve ever really drew them. Especially since I’ve started drawing decently. So here is me doing something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. I was going to add more rendering or tones but then I thought, why? I couldn’t answer myself and I liked where it was at so here this is. I hope you like it. This is my favorite love story in comics.
Here’s the Shadowcat and Lockheed I drew for the Albany Comic Book Show again, only this time IN COLOR! http://www.albanycomicbookshow.com/

Muppet Avengers, part 1 of 13(?) Probably 13.
Making Gonzo Tony Stark was the easiest decision. Gonzo’s slightly self-centered (he calls himself “the Great”), he’s a notorious womanizer (or at least chickenizer) who manages to balance that with a steady girlfriend, and he’s certainly extremely liable to dress in a stupid outfit, set himself on fire, and launch himself out of tall buildings.
And with that obviously comes Camilla as Pepper Potts.
Up next…I still believe in groovy heroes.
Muppet Avengers, part 3 of 13.
I know a lot of people are going to give me flack for not making Sam Captain America. But patriotism aside, I really think Captain America and Kermit have more in common than Sam and Cap do. After all, they’re both idealistic dreamers who always come through in a pinch and put their friends before anything else. And plus, this means Captain Amerifrog had a relationship with Piggy Carter back in WWII.
Kermit is one of the Muppets I consistently have trouble drawing, but I think I’ve finally got something here. Now if I could only get Piggy right…
Up next: Nick Fury? Fifteen seconds to Galaga, Nick Fury!
