SUPERHEROES/ART – The Vision vs. Red Tornado

Vision vs Red Tornado

 

The Vision (Marvel) vs. Red Tornado (DC)  this week on Superhero vs Superhero.

I didn’t realize how much these guys had in common visually until I started drawing them.   I had them fight because they’re both android that were created by a bad guy,  to fight good guys, but they both turned into heroes instead.

They’re only different because they don’t share the same powers.

But then I started drawing them and they both have Dracula capes, and the capes are attached by a cord.  They also both have nobs for ears and no pupils.The rest of their look is different but when drawing those three things, it really felt so similar.

I did some experimenting with the inks this time around.  I started as normal. I roughed out the drawing digitally in Photoshop, and printed a non-photo blue version which I inked over.

This time I inked all the figures using a Micron Pen.  I then went in and used a Special Black Copic Marker
for the blacks.  The background was done using a N4 Copic grey marker. And finally I went in with a Pentel Pocket Brush Pen and thickened up the lines on the androids.

I wasn’t really sure how it would turn out.  It’s not bad. It was a fun experiment.  Next time though, I’ll need to design the reflective light to be more interesting.
