Storn Posted January 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. I have three superhero pics for y'all. First up is another for a Death Tribble, a deep sea diver. Next, I'm trying to vary and push the action of my superhero commissions... it is always tough treading that line of being able to show what the character looks like and trying to put them into action shots. One thing we take for granted in comics in multiple images of the same folks... so doing a super elongated perspective punch by spidy hides his spidey logo, but everyone knows that it is on his chest. I felt with a sleek power armor guy I could get away without showing the chest area and that the hyper perspective is "in character" for the concept of this particular commission and personae. Thirdly, we have the ol' martial artist lady. I was asked not to over do the cat motifs for this Cheshire Cat, to keep it subtle. I was also asked for a practical martial arts costume, still superhero-y (or supervillain-y, not sure which CC is), but no plunging cleavage. So this is what I came up with. Sidenote: I often clip this images fairly tight... but with this pose I let a lot of white space "breath" under the image, to help give the sense of height. Lastly, my last pic I did in Puerto Rico, this one we actually kept, as it is Millie's birthday present, I did it on the beach, on her birthday. Scanned it in this morning... and present for y'all.

Ockham's Spoon Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. I particularly like the face of the armor suit - clean and simple but still expressive and unmistakable as a transparent visor (BTW what does the logo "JB" stand for?). I also like the weight of it - it is sufficiently bulky to make it believable as a piece of equipment, but still sleek enough that it isn't clunky. The action shot of the martial artist is great, and she looks like a real fighter instead of a bimbo striking a pose - very nice. The styling is aethetically pleasing as well, clearly comic book with just a hint of ninja styling to get the point across. Well done. Thanks for sharing (all of it).

Greywind Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. I would presume the "JB" stands for "Jet Black". The name of the character as indicated by Storn's pic naming history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storn Posted February 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. Ok folks, a couple of new commissions for Death Tribble's supers game, as well as my concept art for the latest ArtBlog challenge, Strength Character for a "Roaring Skies" concept. Think bikers on floating motor-air cycles. I took this opportunity to play around with doing an underpainting in liquid acrylic by hand, then scanning it in and doing the color via Painter and Photoshop. Not quite happy with the paper texture, felt a bit "blotchy" to me. Here is the link to the blog, so you can see a bunch of other folk's concepts for "Strength"... and mine is below.. http://theartorder.com/?p=584 Now. Back to superheroes. Although Dirk Centipede is sure an odd one. I gave him a sorta scifi tool use to make him look a bit more than a huge centipede. And Dr. Dark, mysterious baddie.

James Gillen Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. The Dr. Dark one is great. Especially with the neon chest logo and how the hands are the same color as the aura around them but still visible. JG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ockham's Spoon Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. All good, but I like Dr. Dark in particular, the expression which conveys arrogance and power, and the subtle contrast that gives detail to his completely black outfit and powers. Excellent work.

Storn Posted February 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread. Over at ArtBlog, there will be a series of challenges based on the fictitious "Roaring Skies" concept. Fantasy meets bikers. Although, now Jon Schindette is challenging us to come up with stuff that doesn't have ACTUAL motorcycles. But sorta gathers from that rebel, biker vibe. I was inspired, and wanted to continue to push and play with my digital style, that I had this image in my head and had to get it out. If anyone can use this idea for publication, let me know, we can work out a very reasonable price. Here is the link to the 2nd challenge which is upcoming and due this Sunday. I've already got some ideas down for that. Watch this space! http://theartorder.com/?p=606 These works are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.5 License.
