Description Hawkman-( 11x17 pinup )
by Rags Morales & Michael Bair
________________________________________ _____
Rag Morales is amazing.....!!!!!

Here's a commission piece...
the guy wanted dark & moody, and Rags knocked it out of the park.....

and then the commissioner asked me to ink it...
but I thought the pencils were too beautiful by themselves,
so it was inked on another piece of DC paper.

It does give a good idea of how Rags & I work together.

That's a great effort considering the state of the pencils. Rags sketch has a great charm and spontaneity to them; your inked version is nice and polished without losing any of the charm of the original... good stuff!!

Michael,

You know a website where I can find a kind of tutorial about make shadows with ink??? I know that the bigest part of this is practice but I want to learn and a guide is always better. You are a master with the ink an probably you know where I can search.

dude, if that first image is what you started with then the final product is truly a 50/50 collaboration because you brought a ton to the piece not in the layout, i can't think of many guys that could have finished the piece as nicely as you have, it looks awesome!!!!
