Can't wait to hit the convention circuit again this year... and Wizard World sure knows how to make them lotsa fun from start to finish.

And speaking of fun, this image was a total blast. Decided to kick it old-school with the stars on her Cap and Gown... just like they did, back in the day.

--thanks for looking. :)

[Jim Boyle]

awsome franchesco! is this being used as a promo piece for the show?

[Comixjunky]

Your work is as beautiful as ever, when are we gonna see you at one of the big 2? I would love to see you on wonder woman or maybe black cat.

[xaltair]

Looks good, i really like her shoes. :)

Yoooo make me feel....
Yoooo make me feel....
Yoooo make me feel like an natural wor-um!

Really good stuff. I'm assuming this is gonna be a huge-ass poster or promo board?

[kong]

Man you got style for miles and miles Fresco.. I like the uncolored one better becuase of all the slick lines. Reminds me of the Van Halen song Hot for Teacher...lol.

[Fresco]

awsome franchesco!
Thanks Jim Boyle --I appreciate the compliment, and getting the thread off to such a great start.
I updated the first image so it is not as vague... not that I wanted it to be vague in the first place... but to be specific, not that I wanted to be overly specific... but it's not as if I wanted to be evasive, not that I am evasive by nature... and speaking of nature-- gotta love Spring, all the birds and all the trees, and how about a shout-out for all the flora and the fauna ...
what the hell???

Yikes, I'm rambling more than usual-- on purpose... not that I wanted to do it on purpose when I first logged on, but then again :::stop it!:::
where was I?

Oh yeah, :)

Wizard asked me to participate in their Wizard School program they make available to any comicon attendee interested in free money and free beer next month. But that is only for my class only... so, yeah, all the free beer* and free money* you can carry for attending the Franchesco! Class. *while supplies last.

But seriously folks... all kidding aside, I will be having a blast with all the ususpecting folks in attendance at WWPhilly on Friday--
and WWChicago as well-- Yay, Comic Art Talk!

Thanks again for the kind words. You all flatter me with the fun-fun feedback.

:har:

[hobbes]

Fresco duuuuuude!

Seriously, what's not to love about your art style?

You hitting SDCC this year? Please tell me you are. Wanna meet the man, the legend, the women that flock to you booth--er, as long as my wife hears nothing about the latter that is. :laugh:

See ya around homie.

[Shin_Jinlaw]

[I]Fluck!! I haven't been on here for a good while, and already I see some freakin' people improving on their art. And the better the artist, the more competition that I have within myself to be better than what I am right now, not to say that I'm a bad artist.......not by a long shot!!

But Fresco my man, your art is truly a work of wonder. Great piece.

Hello COMIX JUNKY-- it is so nice to see you say such nice stuff. I like the way you think, thanks... drawing Wonder Woman would be all kindsa fun, and Black Cat? yep... all kindsa fun-- I would almost feel guilty getting paid to draw that stuff... ALMOST

Well yeah, I would still cash the checks... (homeboy gots to eat) but you and I can both agree that the act of drawing that suff twould be the true reward, and totally fulfilling on so many levels. So, yup-- you get my vote for more drawing of more stuff --and if it happens to be one of those two at the Big Two --well that sure beats a poke in the eye with a sharp stick!

:)


Looks good, i really like her shoes. :)

thanks, and by 'shoes' you mean pomp and circumstance?
but which one is pomp, and which one is circumstance--
nudge nudge wink wink...
nah, not even close to being even slightly humerous
this reply needs more cowbell... and salt.

Thanks for the shout out XALTAIR, always good to hear from the boobie master.

[OriginalJAM]

Very NICE, Colors work bigtime! :)

Heh... I hotdiggidydog dig it, that you dig it. Hot hot hot... now that's pretty cool.

:laugh: thanx SKOTTICHAN


i agree! when?!?!?! god dang it, when?!?!!!
let us know, would'ja?
(PS- bring me along as your colorist)
Question: When would I draw something for Marvel or DC or Image? Answer: Anytime-- morning noon and night. I am happy drawing whatever is on my drawing board at any given time, but would be all kinds of cool to draw up those scary good icons those companies have to offer. And sure --why not, the more the merrier-- heck, let's all go get us some, Joel.

Thanks for the compliment, I really appreciate it the MACHINE.



and thanks for the shout-outs everyone... not ignoring anyone, just replying to the posts in the order they appear.

You need to draw a French superhero. http://www.samizdata.net/~pdeh/smiley_paris.gif

Fresco,
Your gorgeous art make me feel like a worm.
But I not going to give up, I'll keep trying!
Good Show! :kewl:

Hey now that is pretty cool... I am flattered looking in this thread makes you wanna draw something-- and please post as much of it as possible so the entire board can appreciate your goods. You are too kind... and I appreciate you saying that, SCRIBBLY.

and QUONES... I appreciate you singing that. :laugh:
I second that.

Yoooo make me feel....

Really good stuff. I'm assuming this is gonna be a huge-ass poster or promo board?

Hah-- you guys are a riot. Funny and creative... is it any wonder why I like Digital Webbing members so much?

Thanks man, I really appreciate the compliment and the funny-- not sure if they would make a poster of it, if it had a huge ass... but then again... huge asses need love too.

:blink: waitamminute-- that gives me an idea.

All the right curves in all the right places... I need to draw now-- Must... draw... baby... with... back.

[andie tong]

awesome. wicked stuff as always! :D have fun wit ur classes.

[Fresco]

Man you got style for miles and miles Fresco.. I like the uncolored one better becuase of all the slick lines. Reminds me of the Van Halen song Hot for Teacher...lol.
I hear you KONG... I was tempted to just post the final colored version... but the subject matter seemed to lend itself to the "before & after" glimpse at what goes into creating an image for comic books a little bit.

I gotta keep reminding myself not to assume that someone in the room will know anything at all about comic books, or how they are created. I don't want to short change anyone, by thinking they already know --what most of us who have been around the block or two take for granted today. I would not be a very good instructor if the one person who needs the class the most, is going to be left out in the cold.

Thanks for reminding me to not let anyone fall through the cracks. There was a day that I didn't know about pencilers and inkers and letterers and all that jazz... so back to the basics I go.

Who knew School could be THIS much fun? :)

Thanks for the compliment --you are much too kind KONG
and heh heh I sure likes me some VanHalen

[jedipencil]

all I need now is imported cheese, and a baggette.



Couldn't find any baguettes... so I got you a bunny... http://bestsmileys.com/eating1/20.gif

That is one beautiful, slick piece! :thumbs: :thumbs:

[Fresco]

Fresco duuuuuude!

You hitting SDCC this year? Please tell me you are. Wanna meet the man, the legend, the women that flock to you booth--er, as long as my wife hears nothing about the latter that is. :laugh:

See ya around homie.

Hah... that's funny. Women at comic book shows are a rare breed, and the ones who flock to the booth seem to have itchy trigger fingers:

http://www.franchesco.com/pics/SD06_11.jpg


Oh well, What the Flock! :laugh:

San Diego was sooooo ah-freakin-mazing last year... trying to top that this summer would've been impossible. Since it would've been downhill from there, I'm sitting it out this year. Doing Wizard World Philly and Chicago this season, to keep from going through withdrawls-- I sure loves me comicons.

Thanks for the props on the Pics... I hope to see you there next year HOBBES... and no worries, I won't say anything to the missus if you don't... what goes on is San Diego stays in San Diego. Flocking booth babes need love too ya know.

[Mike225]

Damn, she shot you and confetti came out. What's up with that?

[Fresco]

Damn, she shot you and confetti came out.


What's up with that?

Always enjoy your linework. Very cool.

Aww dude! I don't know when my next SDCC will be. Having baby 2.0 in August and my first is just a little over a year old. I'll be local for the next little while. Hell, make plans to come to Toronto in June if you can (be it this year or next). Would love to see your flocking booth babes, I mean you. Yeah, I mean just to see you. :p

[hobbes]

Is it me or does he get all the hot women at his table?

[Fresco]

Hah... good one HOBBES

Fluck!! I haven't been on here for a good while, and already I see some freakin' people improving on their art. And the better the artist, the more competition that I have within myself to be better than what I am right now, not to say that I'm a bad artist.......not by a long shot!!

But Fresco my man, your art is truly a work of wonder. Great piece.



~Nu Jin (Bruce).
LOL

Is it just me, or is here a lotta flucking going on in this thread now? ...make that flocking. Thanks to you people, folks may actually start to flock around in the hopes to get a glimpse at one of the many boothbabes at my table in Artist Alley. Rest assured that if the babe happens to be out of sight at the time, there are always paper dolls in the pages of the closest comic book. All kidding aside, I don't actually have a booth babe... but I am lucky enough to have some of the best looking people at the show stop by the table. So thanks for the beautiful people for making the day a better one. Hey, beautiful people need love too.


Not sure how this particular rant of mine started, but one thing I am sure about is that its good to have a member who strayed from the flock come back to the Digital Webbing fold. Hah... see how I cleverly worked in the word flock again.. hah... I crack me up. Okay not so clever, but its not like I ever claimed to be a writer in the first place. I can barely call myself an artist... but anyways... where was I? Good to see you're back again Shin Jinlaw ...thanks for the kind words on the drawing... I really appreciate the compliment.

Welcome back to digital webbing Nu Jin... hope you survive the experience. And hells yeah... great to see someone like you who is confident in their abilities, and still be humble enough to know there is always room for improvement, and aware that learing is a life-long process. It's a great attitude to have Bruce.

Thanks for the shout-out :)

[Fresco]

Very NICE, Colors work bigtime! :)

Thanks ORIGINAL JAM, I appreciate the compliment on the drawing. It's fun to color my own stuff from time to time. Although its more fun for me-- to see other people's interpretation of my stuff.


God damn! another fine looking pin-up.

You certainly know how to draw the ladies.
Thank you SEVANS I like that you like the way I draw the ladies... now all you have to do is get hired by Marvel and DC as an editor, then give me a job drawing pretty girls all day long for lots and lots of money. It's not much to ask for, now is it? :laugh:

heh thanks--

AWESOME man, beautiful drawing!
I appreciate the shout-out FIG... you are much too kind... and so are the rest of youse... not sure how I got this lucky to get this kinda feedback from my peeps on here... but it does not go unappreciated. I thank you one and all DigiWebbers.

[Fresco]

We have a dress code to prevent just that :( They can tell. I have to wear white :yuk:

I graduate June 3rd :banana:

I hear you... not so bad CHAOS... My school had white cap and gowns for the girls in the class... and navy blue for the guys. So when I think of white, it feels right and feels feminine --becasue of my own graduation ceremony. and Awww--yeah!!! congratulations graduate... your ceremony is only a few days away... partay!!!!!! :banana: :banana: :banana: :)


You need to draw a French superhero. http://www.samizdata.net/~pdeh/smiley_paris.gif
;) heh... if the Hero is French... Wouldn't that make it a Villain?

(When did the French become the go-to-favorite for the butt of so many jokes here in the USA)

[Fresco]

Sorry for being away for so long... have had my hands really full with stuff I hope to share with all of you real soon.
Hoping to see a whole bunch of youse over the weekend at Wizard World Philly!

Save my seat for me y'all-- and I'll see youse when I get back! :banana:

[Fresco]

Thanx to everyone who attended... the panel was BIG FUN!!! :banana:

Was great to see DW peeps throughout the weekend in Philly-- you guys and gals rock!

[The Scribe]

;) heh... if the Hero is French... Wouldn't that make it a Villain?

(When did the French become the go-to-favorite for the butt of so many jokes here in the USA)

You said you would draw one. ;)

I guess the French became everyone's favorite punch line when this government brainwashed them. Except for a few people.

I don't agree with everything they do. But, I don't hate them.

Viva La France!

Reminds me of the Van Halen song Hot for Teacher...lol.

Hah ...it's funny you mentioned that KONG-- if you were in the classroom, and saw the brief presentation... you would might find the humor in your statment... but if you weren't there--then, um... you have no idea what I am talking about, do you?

So... um, never mind-- sorry I even brought it up. :happy:


You hitting SDCC this year? Please tell me you are. Wanna meet the man, the legend, the women that flock to you booth--er, as long as my wife hears nothing about the latter that is. :laugh:
Well, a lot has changed since we last traded posts on here mista Hobbes. I will now be in San Diego for ComicCon. And I couldn't be happier. Looking forward to seeing you there. I won't have a booth or table in Artist's Alley... but the babes are sure to be there swarming all over the place... so if you see a hot booth babe, I may not be too far from there.
