Wolverine

mablung · 01-13-2009, 02:30 PM

So did this last night while my wife was watching gossip girl. Needed to draw a massive amount of testosterone to counteract that pile o' crap. The idea popped in my head a couple weeks ago when I was watching Mystic River. Just something about Sean Penn in that movie made me think he would have played a great Wolverine. My good friend who happens to be a substantially bigger comic geek than I disagreed. I like how it turned out for the most part. There are some issues that I cant quite place. Primarily I think with his left shoulder... anyways critiques greatly appreciated.

this is nice. they have 2 different stylistic feels to me.... A bit realistic with the face sketch and cartoony with the full figure.... Cool stuff.

Thanks for the responses. Is it the shoulder that is wonky like I mentioned?
Thanks kong, I did not originally intend to render the face that much LOL. Just kind of fell into pencil autopilot...

the right arm's bicep is flat. could be the reason for the wonky.

The upper part of the right arm is pretty puny compared to the forearm. There isn't much foreshortening to contend with so the upper arm should have more mass. Right now its a bit Popeye-ish in proportion.

You are absolutely correct Gwistler thank you. I am actually quite mad at myself for not noticing that lol.
