More experimenting, this time with shapes and inking techniques. The rough pencils were very boxy and I intentionally left the shapes loose so I could have some freedom in the inks.
Also played around with some custom brushes and paper textures to add the grainy effect in the coloring stage. Total time spent on this; about 3 hours.
Started as a humble sketch blog, Metrosketchual is evolving to also serve as a source of all things comics in the DFW area.
The term Metroplex was originally coined to describe the greater Dallas/Ft. Worth area after marketing attempts using "North Texas" failed to translate outside of the state
(See; Panhandle)...
Metroplex... Sketch blog... get it? We thought why not jump on the bandwagon and represent the Dee-Eff-Dub as best as we can.
You can all thank the amazingly funny Brent Peeples for coining the blog's name.
It will haunt him forever.
If you have complaints... or you wanna submit art, writing, news, or whatever, just bother Samax about it, and leave the rest of us alone.
Thanks...
Thanks yo, this was fun!
