Felt like seeing if I could do a 1 hour painting. I'm pretty happy with it. From 5:00 PM to 6:00PM today. Hellboy is a very cool comic book character by Mike Mignola published by Dark Horse Comics. Feel free to comment.

Another awsome pic you work is very insperational !! I think you should also post this in the speed painting thread!

Here's another quicky (30 minutes) of the Emperor in that comic book I'm doing. Sort of a Sean Connery look (deliberate).

Both are really nice!
The second looks like Sean Connery in the movie The Hunt for Red October.

Very good and very inspiring!!!
5-6pm -what a weird time of day to paint, hehe. At those hours I just sit and stare at some random computergame being totally unable to focus my energy on anything at all.

Going along with that thread I started awhile back in the Discussion Forum*, how would you go about tightening and refining one of those pictures? I only bring this up because these are perfect examples of the type of images I would completely destroy by trying to tighten it up.

excellent stuff Brando! I like them both.

Tonights latest - under 1 hour. Trying to establish feeling for the Emporer's world.

Are you drawing these as well int he time limit you post, or is just 1 hr to paint. By the way, everything looks great.

Brando · Posted: Sun Feb 10, 2002 9:26 pm

From nothing to finished is how I gauge time. No pencil, no prep.

you drew this with a wacom (what size)?
How do you get curves so nices, paths?
Is this pshop or Painter?

Brando · Posted: Mon Feb 11, 2002 7:01 am

I use a 6x8 Wacom with Photoshop 5.5. I don't use paths. I usually just freehand the curves, but on the big balcony in the sunset piece I did use the line tool a little to get that really long curve. I don't care fro painters color handling (no CMYK features) and if you use too big a wacom you lose your energy from strokes.

Good stuff, Brando.
