This seems to be the best way to avoid the ink wash getting 'splotchy'. Not sure if that helps but.....Needless to say all this stuff requires trial and error. Looking back at the originals now, I think I could have gone even darker in some areas, despite the fact that I was avoiding an overly contrasty look. It's just hard to achieve that perfect tonal balance that turns the form without looking 'heavy'.L.J.

It's not something you see. And the expression in the last is priceless.<br /><br />As for your ink work -- I'm going to have to try that. Since i use my pencil for values too and then feel that i ruin it when i apply my ink. *shrugs* trial and error makes us better artist right?Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06887234587351987010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9095744655183501664.post-65794505594566592442009-09-23T15:53:13.412-07:002009-09-23T15:53:13.412-07:00Loved D'Anda's art for the character bios....Loved D'Anda's art for the character bios. His designs particularly for Firefly and Mr. Freeze made me wish even more that they would've been included in the game.<br /><br />Picked up all twelve issues of Wednesday Comics and that finale page was pretty as always. Nice nod to a friend giving Supes an assist with one of those aliens.Ben S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02450296401402161179noreply@blogger.com
