Description This is a long overdue quickie giftart for :iconRodcomm1000: of his OC Vector! Hope you like it man... its a quickie though which took like an hour or so to finish (that's fast for me already!)... no references was used for this and surprisingly, most of this was done in one layer.

On a different note, i dont know how long i can keep doing art as my Wacom pen's tip is almost gone! On top of that, im gonna start seriously reviewing soon. Sigh....

Very nice work in a short time. So tell me, if you portrayed a hero, who would you be?

Thanks man! I dont know if my looks could ever portray a Superhero but i always wanted to be Wolverine... badass, almost unkillable, long life, great senses... what's not to like?

But i think Prof X would be more practical. Change how a person thinks, know what a person thinks? That juz opens up a lot of new doors.

No prob. Don't feel stupid, I had to google to see how to change them as well. That's what I get for throwing important product info away.

Actually would love to see you do I-Force or Charger in a similar style. Feel up to an art trade?

Sorry man, i dont do art trades. Its not that i dont appreciate the gesture but i juz am a bit busy of late. But being a friend and having won your contest before, i can do a similar piece of I-Force for a fraction of my usual price.

wish i wasnt busy though... i got a lot of artworks i wanna do for myself. Plus, the nib on my wacom is almost gone

SilkyWays [2009-11-12 13:39:36 +0000 UTC]

Definitely doesn't look like a quick job. The face is wonderful, very detailed. The only thing that bugs me a little is the part of the back of his neck the light hits. It's too straight from the head till the bottom of the neck. Even on men with really thick necks there's a bit of curvature at the back, where the neck goes in from the head to the shoulders. That's a minor gripe though as everything else is great.

As for your wacom tip, make a small commission sale to pay for some new nibs. They're not expensive you know. You can buy them directly from Wacom too.

semaj007 In reply to SilkyWays [2009-11-12 14:28:57 +0000 UTC]

i didnt even know you can buy juz nibs! hehehe.. how do you change em?

As for the the weird thingie on his neck, its his hair. He's got this fro-mullet going on.... there's a name for it but i forgot what its called.

SilkyWays In reply to semaj007 [2009-11-12 18:58:46 +0000 UTC]

Aaah! You maybe should have made some stray hairs coming off it as hair doesn't look that smooth when under strong light

semaj007 In reply to SilkyWays [2009-11-14 00:49:37 +0000 UTC]

well, he really keeps it really trimmed and straightened out... kinda like those plant sculptures. LOL.

Seriously, i couldve added those but i wanted to keep the comic book feel.

SilkyWays In reply to semaj007 [2009-11-14 15:35:02 +0000 UTC]

Hmmm why does this look more painterly than comic book style to me?

semaj007 In reply to SilkyWays [2009-11-15 15:00:05 +0000 UTC]

hehehe.. ok, you're right. LOL. What i meant though is the look of the characters although this indeed is painterly (even did a whole lot less outlines with this!)
