Thanks chuck - the inking was done completely in Adobe Illustrator with the pen tool (and pencil tool set to fill for one or two little bits). If you ever get to try this method, it feels quite difficult at first but is actually quite effective if you stick with it and spend a little time and effort! I've only just started using this method for inking whole characters and I'd say the biggest advantage is the ease of adjusting it once you have the lines down due to the small number of anchor points

[GetiX]

lol you dont really need a story for a fight scene between spidy and venom between those 2 its just mindless violence

[GetiX]

need a new post lol been agezzz since you last

[The7Artist7]

Hey GetiX,

Dude! - my subscribing thingy seems to be broken as I'm not getting notified when peoples post on my thread - sorry for takin a while to get back to you all - I've been a bit ill and run down these last few days blerg.

Yeh - you're right with the comic lol - I should try starting off with something simple to get the hang of it

Also! I've been scribbling away at the new Spidey challenge pic! - a few sketches and the final piece (smaller so you can see all the pic and bigger for the finer details):

[My57]

lol black cat, the hottest marvel character ever. To bad she dies or something. If she didn't peter wouldn't have married Mary Jane the crazy pot addict xD lol, i keep on thinking that when i here that name for some strange unknown reason *wink*

[Synthure]

This sketchbook is pure awesome. In all my artistic studies i've been doing recently I almost forgot art is supposed to be fun. Thanks for bringing me back through your creativity. Keep up the good work!

[GetiX]

my57 maryjane is what brazillian drug dealers call pot ross kemp on gangs

[My57]

lol i kno thats why i put that little *wink*

[The7Artist7]

Hey - enough about drugs already! ;P lol

Synthure - Thank you so much - it means a lot to me I've always said I much prefer 'life' in a piece of art before technical perfection

I hope to see a sketchbook by yourself soon!

Yay - voting for the 2nd Spidey Challenge any time now

[malpanka]

hhaha, your spiderman looks kinda cute

[TOOLED!]

haha, cool man. but as an diehard venom fan i'd have comment on the fact that he is not badass enuff (just kiddin). keep up the sb man, and make sure you keep drawing.

[My57]

i really like Black Cat. I really wish she didn't die. Or at least i think she did...she didn't deserve to...One day im going to make my own version of spiderman comic! it'll be kick ass ^_^

anyways enough of my black cat dreams, your drawing is pretty sweet, but i wouldn't mind seeing you draw some other marvel characters that aren't related to spiderman. Perhaps batman (lol DC)? or Wolveren (can't spell his name)?

[The7Artist7]

Malpanka - lol

Tooled - Thanks dude, Yeh I know sorry about that ( lol ) Well, as illustration, graphic design and animation are my job (freelancer doing mostly kids stuff at the mo) I don't think actual drawing will be a problem lol - but I do need to keep up with the comic art and other stuff too - so yeh!

My57 - lol really? I couldn't tell hehe hey check out www.comicvine.com - it's a great place to find info about characters.

Awesome! look forward to that comic - let me know when you do it.

Thanks - yeh don't you worry! I'll be doing other characters and you've just mentioned two of the most likely (you were almost there, it's 'wolverine' ;P )

anyhoo - talking about work - I should get back to it lol!

cya

[My57]

man sooo many side stories of spiderman. Anyways, im gonna try and make a black cat comic! yes, i like black cat....maybe i could make her into a lesbian!!!! lol, i couldn't do that to many pple would be weirded out or something. lol but i wont make a comic until i get better at drawing buildings and pple.

[The7Artist7]

Lol yeh - if you're referring to Comicvine and how much stuff is on there about characters - it's crazy! If you want to progress with your drawing perspective and peoples - practice, practice, practice, you'll get it - and don't be afraid if it looks weird to begin with... Also start a sketchbook and document your attempts at it and ask for advice and paintovers (I'll help when I can ) Check Loomis out too - he is just totally awesome at peoples and perspective! http://www.scribd.com/doc/255814/And...Figure-Drawing

Cheers

[My57]

^ ah yes Loomis, i looked at that book, i have a book that i prefer for figure drawing though already. Its more drawing drawing buildings i need help with, i have been practicing, even though i should be using a ruler for it; i really hate to ya know? its sooo boring that way.

[The7Artist7]

No worries - yeh I totally understand - I only use rulers for serious practice and really tricky important stuff. Most of the time I simply start by drawing two major perspective lines/angles to give me an idea of what I'm after and how dynamic I want to go with it, then by eye, I follow the lines and guess where they would meet and draw a lil dot (or most times I have to imagine it as it's like 2 foot of the page!) and then use that as a ref for other lines - just to check they at least 'look' about correct. But I'm a lot better at showing than telling so please feel free to ask questions or ask me to crit a drawing free drawing perspective is all about developing a good eye for imagining lines and points - I'll have to do a few examples or something

[The7Artist7]

Hehe - just something fun

[The7Artist7]

Got the urge for some late night art - enjoy

So ..... you like it?

[T_manAKATruman]

digg the style

[My57]

cool giant, im guessing the hulk?

[The7Artist7]

GetiX - hehehe LOL! I'm glad you liked it! and Thank you for making me one of your favs that's very cool

Bones-WT - hmm, I may have to study what GetiX said in a little more detail... but I think you could be correct... ;P

TManAKATruman - Thanks I'm diggin the 'diggin'

My57 - Thanks buddy, to be honest I didn't really create it as any character in particular more of an mysterious unknown - not evil or tormented ... more quiet, determined and methodical. A successfully, intelligent creation... but then again it could well be the Hulk, or another character!

It was a lot of fun doing the pic - I was aiming for atmosphere and am pretty happy with it

I'm hoping to do some more in this style

Anyways - time for sleep! Thanks again all

[GetiX]

loooool i dig it so much that i buried it again just so i could dig it more ^^
... Means your pictures are awesome

[The7Artist7]

Lol - I won't get any sleep if I carry on like this - 2:30am

[chuck18mp]
