This is the last 'billboard' image I did for Arkham City (the online-comic chapters)... I was smack in the middle of finishing the last issue, and the deadline was TIGHT!!! so I had to figure out a way to knock this out as fast as possible, so that's where the idea of doing something very 'deco' and heavily graphic-design oriented came from.
I also wanted to do something using only the lasso-tool so I would get a very geometric 'stencil' feel to it... the second I use more 'organic' tools, there's always the temptation to start noodling the hell out of something, and on this piece I had no time (nor desire) to do that. Overall, this took me an hour or so, maybe less to finish... this I think is another one of those examples where a deadline is actually a good thing 'cause it backs you into a corner and you gotta think fast.... I'm happy with the way it came out... I'd like to mess around more with this style and see what would come out of it!
EPIC!! Love the vibrant colors as well as the solid inking. I also really like the expression on Fries' face. Very complimentary to his character. Great job! Keep up the good work!!
Too cool, love the colors! I could stare that facial structure for hours..! And that grungy texture really makes this perfect. Seriously, there is nothing that could be better in this pic and you did it in an hour! You are a true pro.
