Description Just a little tribute to one of my favourite comic book icons.

Worked on this for a good while (started around the end of Dec 09) and slowly tasselled and toyed with it here and there. I'm quite happy with the final turnout: Mysterious, brooding and powerful to some degree. Though in the end I consider still some practice with learning more about working more with Mulitply and Overlay functions in Layers as well as other brush settings than just relying on the standard option.

I would also like to thank both and for their small involvement and opinions on the design. Both of them were kind enough to point out some areas that I had neglected or failed to see, helping me tackle the last few hurdles to get it finished.

Definitely say I've learnt a few new tricks of the trade that's helped add a new layer of spice to my drawings. Yet there's still plenty to fondle and fiddle around with.

So what do you lads and ladies think?

never actually read the comics of Spawn and Sam wanted to but it was rarther offensive to his parent's religion so...yeah...

He's awesome though. Seen the film in parts I believe.

looks good, spend some more time in figure poses and anatomy!

Thanks. Any particular area that you would advice to work on or all of what is shown in terms of anatomy.

Its just a general area. You rock as a colorist and CG painter, you've gotten stronger in those areas. However I can tell you don't draw superheroes as often, and I know its an important area in the business. Its something even I haven't perfected. Of course, even Todd MacFarlane isn't perfect. (;

Heres some GREAT practice references!

This site has even has a sketch practicing thingy that builds you up.

Look up a DVD called How To Draw Comics: The MARVEL Way
The video is outdated, and only teaches you the "Jack Kirby" style, however it'll give you a STRONG backbone of understanding comic art at its traditional core, and can give you a better base to build your drawing style on... it helped me. It taught me a few things that my figure drawing and art classes didn't touch base on.

Matter of fact Shimmy, after my zombie comic is complete I was wondering if you'd like to collaborate on some fun pieces?

That's really nice of you man cheers. That will be a big help since I have been focussing a lot more on anatomy and poses for the future of my drawing and various projects.

That sounds fine with me mate, just please let me know when you want to team up with the ideas in mind.

The background and the cape are AWESOME in this, I can't stop staring at them :3

(Also yes, got the collab started! Just debating clothes detail but the pose is definitely final.)

Thanks, random fooling around with custom brushes seemed to pay off somehow?

Ace to the base! It will be interesting to see what you've come up with.

Spawn is a pretty awesome and badass hero, just like the Punisher, but with hellish powers. lol

The way you did that menacing green glow and the blood splatter effect makes this look just epic. XD

Thanks. Loved this guy when he made his mark on the scene with the comic and late night animated series. Might draw him again sometime when I'm feeling it.

Just a random occurrence of fooling around with custom brushes and layer options. It's amazing what can happen sometimes.

Thanks for the kind words.
