I think you did a nice job (especially on the individual feathers). I wish Spawn would go away already though. Todd has run him so far into the ground, I wouldn't even fertilize my garden with it...

oof... If you liked Spawn at all in the begining your missing out big time on the P.Tan and David Hine run. Spawn has never been as good as it is now.

Good Job! :kewl:

What kind of crit id "good Job" anyway? :yawn:

Let me muster a real opinion to try and help you. I'm not the best inker but I'm not bad either. On the cover it looks like they went for the pencils straight to color.

If I could make one suggestion on this it would be on the feathers. Try avoid to simpley outlineing them. Try figure out what the texture is and which way P.Tan was pulling his pencils and stay true to that. Don't just make up your own lines unless you're sure it's really helping. To get those feathering details try dragging your sweeps from the outside to the center and repeat. Keep them uniform as possible. Try to go from thick to thin with the sweeps for some good line variance.

You could invest in some opaque white to drag out some of those sweet costumes textures Tan likes so much.

To add texture to the feathers take some Pro White on a brush & break up the outline of them ever-so-slightly while leaving the thickness of the outline you used. This will create the texture while retaining the depth of the heavier outline.

You could invest in some opaque white to drag out some of those sweet costumes textures Tan likes so much.
Good call there as well. Learn to use white out to add to your work, not just fix mistakes...

Inker showcase is getting alittle sparse these days. Did admin purge the thread or something??? :blink:

i did like this alot its a great pose

i just wish that you could put up the pencils next to the inks im not a huge fan of links (lazy brit here typeing :P)

my biggest crit is that your takeing away alot of the grit that the pencils give, im prob going to get slammed to hell for that comment ive never really properly had a go with inks and i have to say when i ink my work i think it kills it.

but like the dummy on the chain (pasifier in american?) i think looks abit cartoony i think its from removeing alot of the finer lines also seen on the large feather in the left corner.

its a dam good job dont get me wrong at all, but from a pencilers perspective i would be pissed at the fact you changed alot of the orriginal pencil lines. you might have some agreement with the artist idk but thats just mho.

i love the clown looks awsome, just abit sick when you think about the stuff hes covered in :yuk:

not read spawn since greg stopped penciling
