Very cool pic. Excellent weapon and equipment design. You used to read Super Patriot didn't you?

Man I just went scouring for images from the comic and only came across some poor resolution ones. Plus appearantly SUPERPATRIOT is also the name of a furniture store and Dave Johnson, the guy who does the inks, I think that's his name, is a pretty obscure name to look for over the net. I do know that it came out aboot the same time as Savage Dragon and didn't last very long but the few issues it did have, the first few, had very nice stuff in it. The only thing Dave shares in common with you is some of the same taste is gun designs, sections of armor and boots, pipes and raised sections on the facemask and shoulders, and general line work but I think yours has a bit of an Aeon Flux feel to it more so than his characters do. You've done some very nice stuff here. I hope it didn't sound like I was saying you copied him. He's an influence in the stuff that I do and I wondered if he was one of yours too.

Man, I gotta a question for all you comic book character artists. How the hell you do think up such elaborate stuff to put on a guy? I mean I make a guy and maybe put a gun on his arm(thatisnt very nice) or line that goes down his leg or a laser or something small and dull. How do you do it.

This guy ahs to be the most boring comic guy in the world...

Well frusturated..
I struggle with that quite often, i find that reading gets my brain thinking.. and incorparate ideas from what ive read, how they discribe someone, or something and try and put it on paper, then write stuff down before you start to draw it.
I feel it helps for me, and it also comes with experiance i guess, just keep drawing.
Goodluck

hey FrustratedARTist

I am not a professional Comic book artist and don't know if this will help you or not but part of the reason people can think up such ellaborate machinery is part actuality and part fictional, for example if you put a gun on your guy's hand, how is it going to fire? What kind of mechanism is it? Gears and if so what can you visualize that puts across your ideas of this gun functioning in that way and then you can also just add things for fun which look really cool, or you can also think about aerodynamics for certain things and how they react with the environment and things like that, just play around with ideas and maybe don't just say this is a gun but have a reason behind it wich will help explain its function and give you ideas on extra attachments and such...

If this is just glibber globber and not answering your question sorry heh.

Like one example could be mechas---and their feet, you have to consider that when they walk their feet have to be built for toughness and duribility and need proper mechanisms for the walking action to take place and then just build on that...

...A lot is just Creativness.

hi guyz. as you can see i a did a very smooth change of colouring stuff. yeah i did it soo smoothly than i'm still spin'

and the only result of this is just ... head-ache.
as i mentioned lot of times:- i dont use colours in what i'm doing.
so, here is my second try (at least i'm satisfied about the brushing )

of course it's not finished. not enough mana !
so what are you guyz thinking about this one ?
