Hi , I am demonhunter360. I want to share my artwork with you. Please have a look see. Thank you thank you. ^^

----------------------------------------------------------



I'm gonna try to wrap this up in the next few days. Instead of holding a dinosaur, maybe I'll just put in a box of pizza. ^^ LOL. Or maybe Barney the dinosaur as stand in. I've been spending a week on this, and mum is asking me to finish up the painting of fruits instead so we can print it out and put on the kitchen wall. This PowerGirl has changed from how it started out. I made adjustments to the anatomy and even the hair. At first, this was supposed to be something simple and fairly quick to make, but as I got to painting the hair, it got more and more interesting and I just kept adding details. I think it looks pretty good. As for the face, I flipped it horizontally and made adjustments to make the face more symmetrical. Ah well, still got the legs (lower half of the body)

I'm probably taking more time than I should because I may not be painting the right way. Right now, there's lots of zooming in zooming out, and going into the tight spots and small areas to touch up and clean up. I'm gonna try a simpler coloring style next. Just 2 to 3 tones and using colored line widths to bring out texture and shape. Again I will combine Illustrator and Photoshop, but I suspect I'll use more Illustrator next.

-------------------------------------------------



Hulk.


Directly painted into computer with tablet.

--------------------------------------------------------------



This is the second part of Black Cat painting. Worked all day on it. I gotta stop and pull away from the monitor, this is crazy. Haha. ^^ My shoulders are aching because my workflow/ workplace setup is just a lousy foldable table...the height isn't suitable. Anyways, I think I have improved in terms of speed. It used to take me 1 to 2 weeks to get this far, but now I can bang this(this far in progress) up in 2 days. Definitely an improvement in efficiency. I've got better understanding of the tools in photoshop and more advanced knowledge through the tutorial magazines from ImagineFX, and Digital Artist magazines. The buildings were built from scratch using shapes in Adobe Photoshop. More to go, I thought I could finish this thing by today but I can't. Good pin-up art can't be rushed. I need to take time to make sure all the tiny details are done correctly. I guess it's the artist's diseases...obsession with perfection...anyways, I gotta start revising for test next week. Time to put Black Cat aside....for now.

-----------------------------------------------------------------





"You like me because I'm CRAZY!" Finally, after about a week's time,working on it bit by bit. It finally paid off. I contemplated whether I should add a simple background but dreaded the thought of more work. Haha. Anyhow, I might add a simple background later, but for the moment, this is as good as it gets. I went in and cleaned out and tidied up all the parts. Mix of both Illustrator and Photoshop. Illustrator was mostly for the colored lines. Illustrator is best for making all the curvy lines and outlines in my opinion. But I will try the traditional inking way next time instead. As for the mallet, it was mostly colored lines through photoshop. Some final shadows were done using just seperate layers set at multiply and sprayed on.

For the Harley Quinn close up, it was added with a noise filter and a multiply layer spray off light yellow. To give that textured slightly vintage effect. I love how the face turned out. She's gorgeous to me! This is one beautiful crazy girl! Too bad she is obsessed with that Joker guy. About the face coloring process, it was all gradual. I was thinking this was gonna be a challenge. Usually, a face without white face paint, a normal face has different skin tones, I can paint and bring out the features easily. But Harley's make up face was a different thing altogether. I did not plan to add purplish mascara. At first, I was aiming for just shades of grey, just pasty white look. But as I went along, I thought why not experiment with different tones and hues of purple, blue, and grey. Mix it up. I think this mix brings out her features more.

-----------------------------------------------------------------



X-Force in progress.

Originally, this was to be painted traditionally. But I had a change of thought. Digital is more versatile, I can do a lot of adjustments and redo and redo until I get the effect I want. Traditional media like water color or poster color, I get only 1 shot. If I mess up, that's it. I can't paint over it. I can't resize the anatomy, I can't change the perspective, just one shot and I can't mess up.

Anyhow, this is in progress, the grey tones were added to see how the effect comes along and I will do the full color after this.

I started with Wolverine, after that, followed by Psylocke, then, Archangel at the background with his wings spread out. Doing a team pin-up is more challenging than a single character pin up, because composition comes into play. How each character's pose interact with each other. With a character like Archangel, he is better placed at the3 background because of his massive wings. Put him in front, you block out all the others. Wolverine is placed in the middle, because he is the team leader. After that, I worked in Deadpool and Fantamax. I think I like Fantamax's pose the best. Still got the details to work in onto the costumes. For Psylocke, I wanted to give her that Asian ninja look. So, a short knive in front, and her sash is exaggerated a bit to have that Japanese Kunoichi flowing sash look.

------------------------------------------------------------------------




Someone online asked me to draw Baroness from G.I.Joe. I watched the live action movie which starred Sienna Miller as the Baroness. I still like the cartoon Baroness better. In the movie, she didn't have the European accent. I liked that in the cartoon. I referenced an old G.I.Joe Baroness action figure blister card art, and added slight changes myself. I had to change the dorky big round glasses. That might have worked in the 80s, it's out of style now. The MP5 and hand gun were referenced from 1/6 scale plastic toy guns. I'm not done with this yet, I spent a whole day on it. My hand was cramped. I'm not fast enough, need more practice. The face underwent some changes, particularly the lips. I wanted her to have that little bit of a sadistic smile. Eventually, I want to add Cobra commander in the background and the Cobra flags.

---------------------------------------------------------






I personally hand-drew these t-shirts myself.

Black t-shirt pigment water based markers on white cotton Northern Rock t-shirts.

Each is drawn in free hand, as I can't trace the artwork on the shirt, can't see through the shirt. Haha.

Hugh Jackman Wolverine, men's size L.

Batman, men's size M.

---------------------------------------------------------

Eat Your Veggies, Soldier! Captain America pin-up. Pencil and then inked with Illustrator and colored with Photoshop. This is more of an animated-look Captain America. The features and anatomy are more simplified. But I tend to add details even when I'm aiming for simplified. Hence the details of muscles on the arms. The background was made using shapes in Photsoshop and sprayed dirt using Siya Oum's brushes. ^^

Captain America is supposed to be with other Avengers. I already penciled Thor and Iron Man. Just need to do them up and add them with Cap. ^^


Commission piece. Batman Begins. Client wanted a portrait of Christian Bale Batman in Batman Begins in monochromatic color scheme & Japanese Chirashi style; hence the Japanese text. Chirashis are mini movie posters. Popular in Japan and as collectors items. This is largely done in traditional media of water color, inks, pencil. Text and logo made with Adobe Illustrator. Some minor adjustments through photoshop. He's the goddamn Batman! ^^


I was thinking of what pose to do, and went with the generic flying pose. But I wanted to draw a Sentinel head somewhere in there, so I tried to imagine her having ripped off a Sentinel head, but still holding onto it and flies off. She will use it as an object to throw at other Sentinels, something like that.

I was using some references of X-Treme X-Men comics off the Internet. The one I used showed her on the cover with the headline :Savage Land. She had her red shades on, but I pushed them upwards on her head instead because I wanted to draw her eyes. I always felt eyes can convey more and look pretty.

Added on March 25, 2011, 11:08 pmI wanted to draw Teela from He-Man for a long time but didn't know how to start. Sorceress had always been my first choice. But never got around doing her. Oh well, I'll go for the lying down pose again. It's not quite finished yet, as you can see she's missing another arm. I decided to add all the little Orko figurines in there at the last minute. After a while, I thought, ah what the heck, let's add a little He-Man figurine toy in there too.

I had a lot of fun, I think Teela's face is the best I've done so far.

Many months ago I was very happy with how I did She-Ra's face, but I think this Teela's face is much better.

The armour bra does seem a bit low. Hmm.... maybe I'll fix that later. And add some shadows and shades of gray with photoshop.



-----------------------------------------



I intend to colour it digitally later.I had been wanting to draw Wonder Woman for quite some time now. She is one of the trinity in DC. Top tier most well known heroes. The other 2 are Superman & Batman. I wanted to draw her as heroic. Proud, arrogant and powerful. Not as a slutty pornstar wannabe. Hence I added the little cape thingy on her, and made her look up. But I didn't want to make it a full cape, but rather like that of Power Girl or Captain Marvel; something like a mini cape. Recently, the DC Universe Online trailer impressed me a lot, so I drew my inspiration from that. The look was a specific in my mind. I was aiming to achieve that DCU Online look, a little bit of exotic look as seen in the trailer with thick eyelashes, and dark mascara and thick brows and specific skull/face structure/construct. Hmm.I didn't use that costume though or the DCU Online regular costume with Roman gladiator skirt. I borrowed the hairstyle though, and omitted the star earrings. Star earrings on an Amazon? Princess Diana is hardly the fashionable type. Ah,yes, the lasso. I wanted a dynamic lasso. It's magical, hence I imagined WW posing a stance with it while manipulating the lasso and goes whirling and zig zagging around her. The arms look 'short' because I was gunning for foreshortening.

Rogue painting.

11.7 x 8.3 inches artblock.

Pentel water color and some black ink.



The scan makes the colors look lighter. But it is actually much more vibrant and richer in person. ^^



Invisible Woman, first try above.

Later, I was going to try to fix the first Invisible Woman drawing. But I felt there were too many things to fix and I actually wanted to have her at a slightly different angle. The angle that shows her side more. So, I tried to rework it, starting all over again, and this time, I wanted to show the face more, not a profile shot. I never liked drawing profile shots. I feel it's weak.

So, here it is, I didn't use pencil to fill in the black on her gloves and boots.I used photoshop. So that if there's any fixing, I wouldn't have to rub like crazy with the eraser.

Pencils, then inked, then colored in Photoshop, then touched up with Illustrator and back again in Photoshop for some fixes. One day's work.

Susan Storm is the wife of Mr Reed Richards, or better known as Mr Fantastic of The Fantastic Four.

Sue is not only very powerful with her invisible force fields and invisibility, she is also a very beautiful mum

This was done way back, when I was still in Secondary school.

X-Files was the rave back then.

This one was later, when FIFA98 was out on the PC back then.



J .S.Campbell made his creator owned team of superspies called Danger Girls, and I was hooked from the start on this comic series. After about 7 or 9 issues, the story ended. Danger Girls did go on, and sometimes still get new stories, but Campbell doesn't draw them himself anymore. It's usually other people doing it.

Here's one of the DG girls, Natalia Kassle. Master with knives and she is Russian.

A client asked me to draw this Hawkman. Work in progress. Pencils and a bit of touch up with Photoshop. Based on rough draft by Ivan Reis I believe. Never thought I would find out so much about Hawkman by reading the Rann-Thanagar War series and Wikipedia. I always thought Hawkman and Kendra aka Hawkgirl were born with wings. But it turns out those are not biological wings. They are Nth Metal wings and can be detached from their backs. Interesting. Despite being technologically advanced, Thanagarians(Hawkman's race) prefer medieval weapons like swords, maces, shields, spears, arrows. For Thanagar!!!!!!!

Thanks, guys.

Ok, colour versions, coming. Please give me some time. I'm working on some commission pieces and I've got some assignments too, and also balancing with work.

Cheers.

Thanks. ^^

Latest commission piece.

Hawkman pin-up. Based on draft by Ivan Reis.
Pencils on A3 artblock paper.

"Hawkman wants BIRDseeds!!!!!"

Mystique from X-Men comics. Pencils. Artblock A5.

Kotobukiya, a Japanese statue and collectibles company made a series of Marvel superheroines PVC statues called Marvel Bishoujo Girls. Bishoujo in Japanese means pretty young girls. The art style is very unique, as every piece is based on the artwork of Shunya Yamashita. Storm is not made yet. So I imagined, and I made this Storm, using Shunya Yamashita bishoujo style. Took longer than I thought. One day's work.

Thanks, the Hawkman Pin-Up 2 was amended according to client's request. At first, I made the thighs like that because basing it on reference art, Hawkman's pants seemed to have an angular thing inside on the sides of the thighs. But it has been changed to this. Shield also amended into Buckler and Hawkman's left wing feathers amended.



His pants look like Spartan's in this cover art. Spartan is the dude with white pants.

Hawkman unmasked-Watercolor Sketch
Pencils, ink, watercolor, artblock paper. A5 sized.

Thanks, guys.

Practice makes perfect. Keep drawing and painting a lot. Read books, read tutorials, go for classes. Watch photoshop /drawing tutorial videos online. Keep pushing. Draw all day. But then take some breaks, recharge, get inspiration, go for a walk, watch movie, play with your dog, cook for your girlfriend. Come back, draw again.

Cheers.

^^

Just finished this commission of Deathbird for client in Canada.



Very small piece, measuring 2.5" X 3.5" only. Pencils.

Kara Zor-El, Superman's cousin.

"Hulk smash planes! Planes leave Hulk alone!!!!!" Hulk, the loveable green giant. His catchphrase is 'Hulk Smash!' An unstoppable juggernaut powered by Gamma radiation. The thing about drawing Hulk is, you have to really make him look angry. Like really really pissed off. Here we have Hulk just making his way through a city, but some people just won't leave him alone. The trail of destruction is a by product of Hulk defending himself. For the jets, I liked F22 Raptors. The most powerful fighter jets and they look very cool. Suits Hulk.I use more shadows on this one. Personally, I like my drawings with less black areas. But people seem to like that heavy inking/shadows feel. Lastly, drawing windows on buildings is a pain! But enjoyable! Hulk Smash! (Pencils on 180gsm artblock paper, A3 size)

Babydoll from Sucker Punch pin up.
Work in progress.

The most fun part is always the drawing a girl's face. I used several photos from magazines and the Internet to get Emily Browning's face right. Costume and even the Japanese sword needed referencing to get all the details right. At first, hair pieces were more wavy and flowing to her right. But it didn't look like Babydoll's hairstyle. So, I toned it down. "Oh, and one more thing....this artwork is best enjoyed with Led Zeppelin's When The Levee Breaks." (Pencil, artblock paper, A3 size, Photoshop coloring)

Just Black and White. Batman and Gargoyle. Work IN progress. I'm gonna add flying blimps and Gotham City landscape later. Pencils and then touched up and additional lines/shadows with tablet pen. 4 hours work. Gotta zzzz now.

Thanks, Lady.
