Thanks for the kind words. I know that Marcio, the original artist for the piece does work for Zenescope and Dynamite Comics, probably others as well. I've been a big fan of his for a while. Always great stuff with his art as the base. As for me, I haven't had anything published in quite a while. I worked on colors for some European versions of the comic series Elfquest in the early 2000s. Trying to get back into project-based comics coloring again, but it's slow going. Always great to hear that people like the work. Thanks again!
Thanks for the critique, knytcrawlr! I do admit that this was an experiment with the lighting. I had been going back and forth in my head between more "realism" or going more traditional with the inks. (In my Photoshop file, there is a daytime version of certain portions as well, obviously without the spotlight. It was a bit hard to decide which way to go.) I've never done anything with that intense of a light source before, so it's a learning process on my end. In the end, I decided to go with a more realistic take with the spotlight. It definitely wasn't the only way that it could have been done. Your suggestions on other ways to handle the inks with my concept are really good. I'll be sure to keep them in mind in the future. All good learning opportunities.
