OOPS! (double post)

I was inspired by Morganza's depiction of himself as a superhero, and took a crack at it, as a character named "Massiv" (misspelling intentional). I searched PencilJack to see if anybody had done a thread for such an exercise, and couldn't find one. I think it should be done, with one caveat: you should include a photo (as I have done below) to keep ourselves honest about it. I didn't try to capture my resemblance, merely tried to do something interesting with my body size.

The Character ("Massiv"):

And myself as I am:

This is the first thing I ever tried with the Wacom tablet and stylus; Up until now, I'd always get frustrated too fast to see it through. Here, I did, and now I finally have the confidence to keep working with it. This was free-hand in the computer (no scan, drawing or reference) in PhotoShop CS, 72 dpi (so that I didn't get extra frustrated with my slow computer), using the airbrush and smudge tools.

I agree about the African resemblance: I started by just trying a face (my "go-to" subject when I'm experimenting), then decided to make him Dr. Manhattan, whcih is an easy change…also because someone else in here used him as their first stylus subject also.

I was half asleep, and I began thinking about an old friend and colleague of mine, last-named "Lynch". Because it was mostly my subconscious working (which often doesn't make any "rational" sense, but produces some weird and interesting results nonetheless), I began to envision her as a Matta Hari, Tokoyo Rose type of spy, only during the Cold War. I also thought (while still half asleep) that the name "Lynch" was really cool for a spy-girl. "Madame" comes from the fact that she's married in real life. The fourth drawing is a try at the character in a less stylized/cartoony style. I was inspired by the work of Brandon "Ragnar" Johnson: www.ragnarama.com/

I went through a Space Babe obsession from the end of June until the end of July

The same as above, but with clothes on:

You might note my attempt at the way Chris Sanders draws his womens' heads in the one above. In another thread, I'll post all my attempts at immitating his style.

A preliminary layout I was toying with, as well as a logo:

Same as the last one in the previous post above, with color work in progress:

These two are nude, mostly 'cause that's how I start out, and I'm not so confident with costumes yet. Still: some of my best work so far (imo), so please take a look, but NOT at work, and not in the presence of children. (NUDITY only: no sexual content)
