Black Panther and Green Lantern

More scribbles from the archives. First up, a shot of Black Panther, obviously I was undecided about adding a cape.




Next, like the other DC characters here, I was playing with a redesign of Green Lantern...

Superman Rips a Bot and Lex

Hope everyone had a great weekend. More art from the sketching archives. Below is Supes taking care of a giant robot, retro style. After that, another refashioning of Lex Luthor, a little younger looking than the previous sketch and a few more details to his outfit.

Supes and Lex

Another Supes sketch from a while ago. I was still working out the design for myself and I liked how this turned out.


This shot of Lex was drawn about the same time. Kept him simple, with a mad scientist, evil older guy slant.

Superman Sketching

Another Superman sketch I did last year some time. His head is too small and it's more like Superboy than Man. It also isn't as stylized as the one posted yesterday. I still like the stitching in the uniform and the smaller cape.

50s Home Layout and Aging Tests

Below are some test layouts and aging test for the 50s inspired animation project I'm working on.

This is the pencil sketch of the background being used as reference for the bike rider animation while the background was being outlined, colored and finalized.



While in the process of finalizing the house and the cityscape, some tests were done to age the animation footage using the bike rider and pieces of the background. I turned the color footage to sepia tone, then added some film grain, used vignette to darken and blur the corners.



Another test aging the footage while in color. Added some film grain, dust and artifacts, soft focus, and gave it a bad tv resolution.

50s IN COLOR

Color and ink demo for the 50s inspired project. I changed the hair on the girl from the pencil drawing and gave both kids the same hair color as the Mom.



Dad has to have his hat.



Their home, with the city of the future in the background.

No Wonder I Love ESPN

Or I actually could like sports. Either or.
