Description You've seen some really awesome posts by our DA brethren who were kind enough to do an El Zombo piece for my up coming book. I wanted to show one of my pages from start to finish, this is just a peek at the progress-I'll have notes and stuff on the big "How I am make picture..." post. Don't worry it won't be in Bizarro / Frankenstein speech

What did you use to shade/color the right side?

Photoshop, it's mostly smudge tool and airbrush

Heh, very cool sketches, is that El Zombo with the really chubby cheeks?

Also, I did get a bit confused is El Zombo actually undead? If you don't mind me asking, what's his backstory?

Dave-Wilkins In reply to StarGamerWorld [2011-03-04 00:05:17 +0000 UTC]

nah zombo is the big guy on the left, chubby cheeks is a demon, and yeah he's undead he starts to rot when he strays from the path

StarGamerWorld In reply to Dave-Wilkins [2011-03-04 00:08:39 +0000 UTC]

Ah, what's this "path" that Zombo needs to stay on?

So demons and undead smoke too? I think Zombo should get in a smoking contest against them (or my own OC ), you think Zombo could win in that?

Its funny you posted this. I used to read the El Zombo comics to some of my students in an after school program and they loved it. I'm still tutoring one of the kids (its been a few years) and he asked specifically about you and that title. I told him about deviantart and showed him some of your recent stuff. Got him excited.

Thought you'd enjoy hearing that.

Aw man the shading is soo smoooth. Hey, I'm trying to give some stuff of my own a similar look. I mean not in style but rather technique. I'm uploading it after a few more trials and errors. Hope you don't mind me asking but if you have the time, could you take a look once it's up and give me some pointers?

Nice to see part of your process.

I've taken to painting in greyscale first myself. Its just so much easier to get your values set and makes the color part much quicker.

Thanks man, as much as I dig my newer stuff I think my old stuff(like the vampire gunslinger) was better when you can feel that chaotic pencil sketch underneath-I'm on a mission to leave that stuff in there as best I can from now on
