Concept Art + How DiCi does stuff

So how do I do things anyway? It's quite simple really. With just a graphics tablet and a computer with photoshop in it I'm good.

I start with the composition of the whole piece, imagining how
elements will be placed in the canvas.

I do a rough sketch of the ideal composition, giving things more detail.

We add the final line art, a cleaner and more solid rendition of the previous stage.

I start adding shadings.

I give the figure the flat colors. Sometimes this step goes first before the shadings, depending on my mood.

I add the ambient gradient and primary effect.

I add the highlights, put additional ambient effects and particles to give it an underwater effect.

Semi-Unproductive Summer

So my summer is not really going as I want it to. Guess I've been playing Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag too much. I'm going to pass from the DLC to have time for my other projects.

Well, I managed to make a piece for a friend of mine for an art trade though.

Stuff_1

Yes, I am a Marvel buff. I read a lot of Marvel comics rather than DC comics (kind of ironic huh) maybe because of the story. I heard there are better artists at DC but I guess Marvel just grew on me.

Now this how I draw things now. I used to draw traditionally (as seen in Buckshot #1) but now I draw a pencil sketch and then ink and color them digitally.

Cap'n 'Murica.

But of all Marvel things right now I totally dig The Superior Spider-Man series. I dunno why people hate it so much. Otto Octavius kinda grew on me. I actually felt bad when Peter Parker got his body back but it's all cool.
