Hey Roundeye! The white highlight on the pencil sketch was added digitally afterwards right? Or do you sketch on a grey paper and use a white pencil?

Just being curios. Very nice picture btw, I like the groovy and dynamic pose.

Stylin' and Profilin'...

About the only thing I don't like are the colors, makes me think of ketchup and mustard. But everything else is all bad-ass and stuff.

Man, you have so much style going on, surely you have some to spare. Send some our way will ya?

THis is a very cool piece. I love your painting technique. There is so much life in his gesture, emotional expression, posing. THis is great.

Are you going to be illustrating the book? Coloring the book??? Hope you have something to do with it. Awesome stuff...

wow, turned out awesome.

Roundeye man, you never cease to amaze. You're super modest too when it comes to your art, which is beyond my comprehension.

Like Ron mentioned, you give your illustrations such character. Very dynamic!

I think you're my favorite artist.

Btw, do you have any cookies? I really want a cookie.

zaar - Yeah I think he added the highlights afterwards via a color dodge layer. I do the same thing for my pics. It works and it's quick when you find out that the watercolors in Painter don't give you a vivid enough highlights on certain things.

Ooops, I forgot to pester you for a higher resolution.

Would that be at all possible? I'd like this as my wallpaper for the next decade..

frekkin awesome!! As usual..

Zorglub · Posted: Fri Feb 15, 2002 4:48 pm

That is so amazingly stylish. Great work.

Why the hell does this guy have 4 stars!!

snarf · member Member # Joined: 20 Dec 2001 Posts: 155

Those stars are the most meaningless feature ever created.

Beyond Nifty!

Just wanted to say that I love your style Roundeye! I havent decided yet which I like better... the final colored versions or the black and white sketches. Bravo!

King Lono · Posted: Fri Feb 15, 2002 10:04 pm

Terrific shading. Nice pic.

Roundeye

lease take my stars (I won't be needing them) as that's really, really great drawing and rendering technique. I went over and checked out Jake's preview pages on his site, and they look really cool! I'm sure he was VERY happy with your interpretation-great stuff!

Highfive · Posted: Sun Feb 17, 2002 2:18 am

Fantastic work as usual, roundeye! As everyone else has said, the expression and the pose looks great. The curvature on the gun is appealing as well.
