Description Sort of a home base for me has always been working on Heubert's stuff. Since he's been kind of busy on the con scene and working Vampirella, he hasn't posted a ton recently.

This little gem is a lovely exception. Fun light source. 2 1/2 of my favorite characters from my second favorite epoch of the X-Men mythology. Fun and pretty relaxing to do. And a great way, I think, to finish out a busy October.

As ever... great work!

I would like to know... Do you ink with "analogic tools" anytime?

I honestly wouldn't know where to start with conventional tools. Everything I do I've picked up visually from other people's work.

Some people ink with vector's program, but usually the lines are too much regular (for my taste). However your work is very "dynamic", what software do you use for inking? Thanks! (I hope don't disturb you with my questions!)

No problem at all. It's Photoshop CS4 and a well-worn Intuos 3 tablet. I have to do a bit of sharpening after inking, but I like the results. Most vector programs have a tendency to interpret stylus strokes, even when you tell them not to. I love Illustrator, for example, but I could never ink in it. The rotate canvas feature available in the OpenGL mode is exceptionally useful as well.

For me is quite impossible ink in photoshop (I'm not good with analogic tools also XD) perhaps with a Cintiq... but the Cintiqs are too much expensive for me! Perhaps is only a question of practice and talent... XD
I agree with you, vector programs have his own sense of drawing!

the rotate canvas is available in Painter also! I would like to link it with a slide's buttom of intuous, but I can't (I don't know)!
