Star Wars Process

I always get asked what my process is when working on a piece. So I came up with a little tutorial/step by step process on how I create something. The styles and end result may vary but the process is always the same.

Step 1: Rough Pencils. Just rough out the thing you are trying to draw. Rough it as many times as you need, to get it to the place you are comfortable with cleaning the lines up.

Step 2: Clean Lines. Once you're happy with the roughs, go over them and clean up your line work. I colour my lines depending on what the situation calls for but you can also ink them in black.

Step 3: Flat Colours. Now is time for the fun bit. Colour inside your lines. Lay your flats down and make sure everything has a colour. You will see the coloured line effect come into play here. I use a couple of shades darker for internal lines. This helps the clothes folds or small details stand out beyond the flat colours.

Step 4: Shadow, Highlights and Visual Effects. This could be broken into a number of further steps but I usually do all of this together. Using a dark purple or navy, I switch my layer to multiply and paint in my shadows. The same goes for lights but switching it to a lighter colour and putting the layer on overlay or screen, I then add in whatever light effects I will be using, add a back ground and hey presto. Your piece is now finished. Because I love movies I like to ass a film grain effect onto things. it gives it a cool look.

I hope that answers your questions.

It would be fantastic. I will keep adding to this the more characters I design for the "Series".

Captain Marvel

I have been playing around with shapes and composition lately and trying to bring something different to my cover work. Here is something I am still working on but enjoying the process.

I will finish this up and give it proper colours but for now

UPDATE

Here is the final piece. I think it turned out pretty good.

Jon Schnepp

I had the pleasure of working with Jon Schnepp on a few projects in my career. He was always encouraging of my art and infectious in his passion. He asked me to do some work on the Collider Heroes land mark episodes and we were teaming back up to work on an issue of his creator owned comic book series. This is my little tribute to a man who I greatly respected and admired. The comic book community/culture is less without him. Prayers to his family and friends. You will be missed #jonschnepp #ripjonschnepp #colliderheroes

Shazam

While getting myself and my prints ready for Dublin Comic Con this year, I figured I would do some guy's I hadn't drawn before. Captain Marvel/Shazam was definitely on that list. I wanted to incorporate Billy into the piece too, so I went with a little something like this.

Earth's Mightiest Mortal

Variant 1

Variant 2

Variant 3

Variant 4

Let me know which one you guy's like best.

Collider Heroes 250th Episode

In honor of the 250th Episode of Collider Heroes. I have put together a little something to mark the occasion. I did the same for episode 100 and 200. Again I was lucky enough to have been asked back to do something for Episode 250.

Rogue Comic Ireland

One of the best things about being on RogueComicsIreland is the other books they have put out. Ciaran and Wayne are fantastic writers/creators and I am truly lucky to be part of the team.

Ciaran has his book Red Sands and Wayne has The Broker. Both are fantastic pieces and can be purchased at RogueComicsIreland.

In the mean time here is a little fan art I created for The Broker. 

Keep an eye out because Red Sands is next.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Shattered Grid

Here is Megazord. I wanted to do something new with this piece so I worked up a Glitch/Digital shattering feel to it. Hopefully it comes across that way.

Green Lantern

Here is a John Stewart piece I have been working on lately. I don't get to do Green Lantern stuff often but it was fun. I gave him some fresh gear while he flies around the city.
