Well, Loyal Legionnaires, I am trying to post more updates....well you know more often is what I mean. Not that I want to bog you down with tons of stuff. So we have a couple of pieces.
This first piece is kind of an experiment. I wanted to try and use more solid blacks on a figure and a bit less feathering and shading. I think is kind of ok..... I am not to comfortable using it yet, but will try some more ways to shade. This one is kind of from a really rough sketch I did ages ago. I always liked the Tarzan figure so thought I would give it a workover. Kind of practice for a secret project that I will let everyone in on when I can. ha.
This second piece is yet another illustration for the KiGor 'War of the Beast Men' that I am working on. There will be ten illos in all. I think this is number six or seven, I forget. Anyway it is showing Helene's fighting skills. I always felt she was one of the toughest pulp heroines around, and I really have fun drawing her. There should be a pulp story cross over between Helene and Nita Van Sloan from the Spider novels.....now I would read that one right off the rack!
Well Legionnaires, I do hope you have a great new year!!!! and hope you had a great holiday! Let's clink our glasses to a great New Year!!! and thanks for looking in.

Hi, Tom.
ReplyDeleteYour Tarzan piece, it looks to me, a little too much solid black. But, then again, I am comparing it to your past art. I know it is an experiment, so I thought I would give my comment. As for the art, awesome!
Your Helena art...WOW! What a Gal! Beautiful and strong. An amazing piece!
I really hope we have a better year, we need it! Cheers! Take care, my friend!
Lloyd, Loyal Legionnaire.
Yea, Lloyd, i was feeling the same way about the shift between light and total blacks on that piece. oh well, again just a try at something a bit new. Figure i will just stay that what works for me. ha. thanks for your comments for sure.....and i too hope both of us have a much better year than the last one!!! thanks pal.
ReplyDeleteI like how you used the negative space in that Tarzan one, the other very nice too. Your style has gotten very clean over the years.
