Wasp vs. Bumblebee

November 27, 2014 in ART, SUPERHEROES

ART/SUPERHEROES – Wasp vs. Bumblebee

Wasp vs Bumblebee

 

This week, Wasp (Marvel) vs. Bumblebee (DC).  This Superhero vs. Superhero fight is fought by the two women in their respective superhero universes that shrink  down and fly around like a bug.

I never really understood why this was a great super power to have. I just seems like one good smack, and it’s game over.

This drawing was ended up being more difficult to draw than I thought. Mostly because Wasp’s pose was so hard to get right.  And the angle of her head was really hard to draw.

It also didn’t help that the Pentel Pocket Brush Pen I was using is still over saturated with ink. I think I’m going to need to use a different one from now on.

I used a combination of Microns and different brush pens to get this drawing right.  All the preliminary drawing was done digitally and printed out in non-photo blue before being hand inked.

That said, I was really unhappy with Bumblebee’s right hand (the one closest to Wasp) after I had finished inking. Once I scanned in the drawing I redrew it digitally.

Rocket Racoon vs. Detective Chimp

October 9, 2014 in SUPERHEROES

SUPERHEROES – Rocket Racoon vs. Detective Chimp

Rocket Racoon vs Detective Chimp

This Superhero vs. Superhero match up is between Rocket Racoon (Marvel) vs. Detective Chimp (DC).  They fight because they’re both silly looking, talking animals, that taken seriously in their respective universes.

Everyone is famiiar with Rocket since he’s from the Guardians of the Galaxy movies. You’ve probably never heard of Detective Chimp though.

While Rocket’s origins are science fiction based, Chimp’s origins are magic based. And yes, he wears a deer stacker hat, smokes a pipe, and wears a coat. He also has a bit of an attitude, similar to Rocket.

I became aware of him reading Shadowpact Comics.  Which were basically the pre-New 52 version of Justice League Dark.

You can read more about each character by clicking on their hyperlink.

This drawing, like the one I did two weeks ago, was roughed out digitally.  Although this time when I printed out the nonphoto blue lines, I printed them out 5% darker.  That way I could see the lines better when I inked it.

I was hoping that the blue line wouldn’t show up like with the last drawing.  Unfortunately it did show up.  You can’t see it if you’re not looking for it but it’s there.

Next time I’ll try decreasing the line brightens by 1% to see it shows up.

This drawing was inked using a Pocket Brush Pen.
