Like Judge Dredd in 2000AD,sits around with his helmet on !! I suppose Bruce Wayne does all his bat thinking with his cowl on !

Tony C. said...

This make me feel better about my staying up WAY too late to draw. Of course, I don't wear a cowl...most of the time.

Great concept, great execution!

Thanks for posting on my blog. You do terrific work, and your digital paintings are very inspirational. Now that I have a Cintiq I'll be studying your work to see what I can learn.

Sebastien Gallego said...

Great lighting Mark! Love this pic.

Marco Bucci said...

Thanks for the comment, Mark! Although I was hoping I'd find your caveman on here as well - it's sweet-ola! As for that photoshop painting, I found a big picture of a rock surface that had some nice pure colours, ranging from oranges to violets. I set that layer on 'Overlay', and painted b&w on a layer underneath that. That gave me some pretty subtle and appealing hue shifts for free! Then I duplicated the rock texture layer, desaturated it, and set it to multiply over the entire painting, just to give the texture more depth in the dark areas. The actual brush I painted with was just default round. Fun to sketch that way...although it totally felt like cheating. The textures did most of the work.

great...no more

SILVER KNIGHT said...

Unknown said...

great moood!! AWESOME!

Craig Mackay said...

Wow. Your work is unreal. I love the subtle lighting that still suggests noir but without the expected hard edges. Really effective mood illustrations!
