Ok so I got lazy (well not lazy per se cos it still took me long enough...) and went the photo b/g routeI think it came out ok but not something i would want to use often

concerete is from cgtextures.com - i played with the levels a bit to give it a dirtier look

the skull logo i got from google, again faded it out and erased parts with different opacity to make it look a bit more like it was on the wall

the metal floor again from cgtextures but i didnt do anything to it

the Punisher lines and colours by me

anyways, hope you dig it

SD Showdown - Wolverine Vs Batman (B/W)

Colours to come - Stage One: Chibi Wolverine V Chibi Batman

Time to drop a knowledge bomb on those who are lagging behind:

the term chibi has mostly been conflated with the term super deformed or it can be used to describe child versions of characters.

Super deformed or SD is a specific style of Japanese caricature where characters are drawn in an exaggerated way, typically small and chubby, with stubby limbs and oversized heads, to make them resemble small children.

Thanks Wikipedia, you're always tehre when I need you

Eskimo Dave on The Big Bang Theory! (Season 2 Episode 20)

Hi all
So i got into work today and found an email waiting for me from my Eskimo Dave Editor/Writer/Colourist/Letterer (he does everything after the lines basically) Mike Devito - http://www.th3rdworld.com/

The email was a couple of screen caps from the latest episode og one of my favourite TV shows, the Big Bang Theory - and in the background of the comic shop they visit are a few of th3rdworld's titles - amongst them...my very own Eskimo Dave!
So needless to say i was a little excited.
Anyway, for those interested here are the pics - they are rather small and will take some eagle eyes I'm sure, to be able to catch them in the show - but who cares - they are still there!
Now I really need to get back and finish the second book - and the arc that hasnt been updated for a good year...
