Just finished coloring my latest piece (although I actually sketched this about 5 years ago on a city bus on the way home from art school), and it's looking pretty good.
My original thought on this as I drew it was that this guy needed a big frickin' gun. No, wait.. a HUGE frickin' gun! The kind that would, in no way, be able to be supported by his weight alone. In fact, the gun-to-guy weight ratio balance would be off so badly that he would be lying on his back in about a second. But, this isn't real life, and nothing even says this is an illustration of anything from our universe so maybe he's on another planet or something. Yeah, that's it..
Overall, I'm happy with the way this turned out. I originally didn't plan on adding in the smoke or spark effects, but I thought it needed something more so I started playing around with smoke and that eventually led to a much larger idea: the character seems to be literally ripping apart or on the verge of exploding. Very cool.
I'm working on improving my coloring speed and overall composition, so hopefully you'll enjoy this latest addition to my illustration/print portfolio.
Thanks! Took about 2 hours to paint, I'm working on improving my speed so I can produce more work in less time. Starting to get better, so I'm liking that.
Thanks! Those were a last-minute decision, after I decided to add smoke and thought there could still be more to it. Took a little time to perfect, but it was worth it.
