I like it. Your inking looks pretty clean, and the poses are very nice. The color work on the wolf is very good. I really like that style of coloring. What medium is that for the colors? It looks like either water color or markers.

Close but no cylindrical smoky thing! The wolf is drawn in pen, the grey is black indian ink, the red is red ink used neat and the yellow is a mixure of ink and watercolour-which is a deadly way of taking some of the wishy washyness outta water colours, it makes then much more somber and interesting.

Oh and thanks

I like the pics. Zombies and wolfs arent really my preffered subject matter but i can appriciate the drawing.

Thats Mr. Big Bad Wolf to you! and technically Cal isnt a zombie, he can still think pretty clearly, can talk, and may even have a possible love liffe in the future

Well as always I like you'r pics. But Calvin that's not what a human looks like, I know thin is in but he's taking the piss. He's barly skin and bones.

Well i want him too look very very decrepit. he suffered a very bad injury to his face, followed by DIy reconstructive surgery (thats why he is such a lady killer)-and he really hasnt been the same since, and he definatly doesnt look after his body the way he used to.

The above discription is really really funny to me, and u will all see why in the next few weeks, i am gonna put some pieces on him, and many other projects together and start mailing them off to comic companies, in particular IDW, adn that all starts next tuesday, so watch this space!

Oh and DeadMetal when we meet in that big comic convention in the sky i will so have some signed **** and goodies for u-cant forget my number one fan

FYI this is what i look like right this second, forgive the unshaven messyness, also the hair aint the same as in the pic, i need to reshave the sides of my mohawk and redye it, it looks pretty crappy right now.

by **Sonray** » Wed May 23, 2007 7:58 pm

oooooh, alternative! Me likes! I mused to do the whole goth thing myself, dont do that anymore but i still wear nothing but black. I have mid back length red dreadlocks too.

I really like your style. But may I suggest trying some more crosses with your hatching, if you get my drift. You should get some more depth out of your inking then.

News Credits: 4 · by **GrimSqueaker** » Wed May 23, 2007 8:08 pm

I prefer not to, i will on occasion do deep cross hatching for very dark areas-but as all of these are just character illustrations there was no need for that.

I prefer to use single hatching, it is just a style that i have adopted, i will often in proper work vary the lenght, thickness, frequency and direction of the liniar shaing to depict depth-and it is much cleaner than cross hatching.

So point heard-but rejected :sad:
