Description Pinpup for the upcoming graphic novel of the collected El Zombo comics by writer Kevin Munroe and ΓΌber talented artist Dave Wilkins, who was kind enough to hire me to create this pinup piece for the book, but also to let me post it on dA (thanks man!) - go check out his work!

I'll post an update when the book comes out so you can all chase down a copy

Pencil sketch, painted in photoshop. I usually just stick to really basic brushes in photoshop, but played with a cloud brush I found at [link] for the smoke in the background on this and was very happy with the results.

Dave is awesome.....

The super deformed style really works wonders with your rendering approach. Beautiful use of turquoise on the backdrop and highlights.

Cheers mate! I find turquoise to be a strangely compelling colour - helps punch out skin tones etc and its not the first time I've used it in a major way.. and it probably wont be my last

Thanks! Dont actually use a wacom - I do have one gathering cobwebs in a cupboard somewhere - but I paint with my mouse. Been doing it for so long now that its just second nature, even if you could describe it as like painting with a potato.
