Hey, Dean! Just gotta ask if you do any, hmmm, "pre-painting" on the B&W print before you transfer it to Photoshop? Some of the marks I see every once in a while in your works (like the spot on the lower left corner) look so organic I can't help but wonder if that's actually watercolor or something similar that got paint over in Photoshop.
Am I even close?

Regards Lasse

I always likes how theres no blacks in the line work and in the inking i think it gives you a little more freedom to colour nice job

yeah you do not want to much attention drawn to them. She just cracks me up on this cover.

barksodaverne In reply to DeanWhite [2010-05-05 13:12:49 +0000 UTC]

sure but once you get a glimpse at them, with their shy and almost panicked look, they're also very good!
I love the discrepancy between a 10 years-old girl and the blades she holds...

I cracked up when the cover came in and I saw that face. Just so over the top.

juts finished reading the series. IT WAS AWESOME! and kind of red. but then again, who doesn't like 10 year old girls running around beheading gangsters? by the way, this is probably my favorite cover

DeanWhite In reply to the-goTeam [2010-05-01 03:00:29 +0000 UTC]

Hey, glad you like the series. It was fun getting the scripts in and seeing what Mark was doing then where John would take it.

Red really? thought it needed a tad more

Beautiful job on colors Dean. Also, thanks for posting the pencils...nice to see the transistion to colors.(straight from the pencils?)

Thanks Bat

Never know for sure if it is interesting for people to see the comparison. It is inked by Tom Palmer it just was not thresholded so it is a tad softer, plus it is a shrunk down jpg which soften things up

I always enjoy seeing side by sides. It's pretty neat to see what you had to initially begin with before you add more life to the artwork!

Thanks, with this book you have to use the word bloody a lot. I would always laugh at how much blood there was in an issue.
