Description


This is an illustration for a fanzine (in other words, this is for print, so a few of the effects are exaggerated to make sure they make it through to the printed page). This is my first serious attempt at using the KraftTone brushes from True Grit Texture Supply Co. This brush set is a product that emulates old-fashioned comic book coloring techniques from the 1930s through the 1980s. This is a very nice set of tools, which are available for Clip Studio Paint, Photoshop, Procreate and the Affinity tools. I used my standard workflow: I rendered the figures in Poser Pro 11 using the Comic Book Preview. I then took them into CSP for clean up, inking adjustment and coloring. Figure is a customized Victoria 4.2 wearing the cool Red Sonja cosplay costume by the inimitable Terry McG. Hair is End of Summer Hair by goldtassel and Daz Originals. Pose is by Mighty Might. Expressions from various sources, but include Darkworld's Intensity Faces.

Love the retro comic book style and the inset panels behind the main subject (not sure what that technique is called). This looks fantastic!

Y'know, I'm not really sure what that technique is called, either. I was just trying to think of something that might have appeared in an old comic book and that's what I came up with. I like the intensity of that expression in the yellow panel that I think I'm going to flesh that out as a complete illustration (and I may very well keep it framed that tightly, but we'll see what happens when I get to it). Thanks for the comment!

Super nice image!! Thank you for explaining your work flow. I have been wanting to do this type of comic page for a long time. Perhaps you have given me some motivation to try it.

Just transfer it on a stylish T-shirt and it will be perfect!
Superb composition, it makes for sure for a great cover. Exquisite Artwork. I love it!

That's an excellent thought that never crossed my mind. This would look awesome on a T-Shirt. I might just do that... Thanks for the idea.
