Ok, I'm back. More or less. I have a couple of looming script deadlines, so I have to deal with those first. I have two spec scripts I have to write - /ugh. I really dislike writing those since their only purpose is to prove that I can write to people that in all likelihood I shouldn't have to justify myself to anyway.
Anyway, I have just finished a "cover" style piece of the X-Men. And I'm damn happy with it. I haven't actually drawn any of these characters in about 10 years now. I've NEVER drawn Emma Frost before - but let's face it - she's kinda easy. Sexy. Blonde. Wears white. Unless it's a dark night scene she'll almost never have hard shadows. Then of course, there's Scotty and Ororo. Both of whom primarily wear darkish colors. And in the current piece I did Scotty is all firing his optic blast - which was fun in itself as I chose NOT to go the typical route with his beams. Most artists that I see exercising Scott's ability tend to ruler his beams into a very straight energy discharge. I thought it would be more interesting to get away from that look and make them look a little more chaotic.
Anyway, enough of that prattling on. My special effects work on Cross is all finished. Cross (being distributed by Sony), was written and produced by myself with my associates John Sachar and Patrick Durham. It features Brian Austin Green as a gun toting superhero in Los Angeles. Vinnie Jones and Michael Clarke Duncan portray his antagonists and Brian gets some help from his friends including the one and only Jake Busey.
Anyway, look for it - buy it please.
And I'm back on commissions.
Something like the X-Men image I just posted is around 500$.
Something like the Clark image is more like 70$.
Let me know.
