Processed fun....

If I ever make an album, which is highly unlikely considering me guitar has become a strange shaped ornament in a cupboard somewhere, that will be the title. Naw actually scrap that- that would be a shit album, it would be like the chemical brother remix of cbbc tunes. Rite enough of my hungover ramblings.

I wanted to post this yesterday but blogger was acting the complete fry and wouldn't load any of the pics. On friday I got my story finished off for Tales of the, which will be up online at some stage today, so make sure you check it out. Its called "How'd you get here".  Saying I got that finished I gave myself a wee break from project related stuff and done something for fun. I've said previously I wanted to work on more poses so I rough up this piece....

I used a bit of reference for the pose, I knew even from this that there was anatomy problems but I decided to go ahead with it anyway. I wasn't sure of who I was drawing, then remembering the first strip that I done for the CADI course, I reinvented 'Hunter', a werewolf hunting half werewolf trained in the arts of black magic. Using the light box I penciled up a slightly cleaner version then inked over the top of it, making minute adjustments........

This is it scanned in as a greyscale pic. I done this to try out a new way of cleaning the pic up. For anyone interested- I left the penciled lines in, no rubbing out, to see how well it work. What you do is after its scanned  as a grey file, go to edit> adjustments>  levels. A window will appear with three small triangles along the bottom of a sort of graph thing- you move the black triangle over to the left until it becomes really black then move the grey one over on top of the black, this should remove the majority of grey from the piece, and ends up looking like this.........

... definately alot tidier looking. Because there wasn't alot of planning in this piece, I dint turn out to well, not enough definition and slightly over worked so I added some basic colour to help it out abit...............


...well thats all for now folks. The deadline for the "If stones could speak" book is this thursday, so I probably won't be posting anything this coming week.
