it out of the park with his colors for this one posted by steve bryant at 5 12 am 2 comments labels freelance pulp friday september 19 2008 airboy inks and here it is inked just in time for the weekend i left a lot of open space on the brickwork to give color artist jason millet plenty of room to work his magic i ll post his work as soon as i get it posted by steve bryant at 8 07 am 3 comments labels freelance inks pulp thursday september 18 2008 airboy pencils after so much preliminary work the pencils were a joy while penciling i was consciously thinking about which parts would be rendered with a slick precise line and which parts would have softer looser rendering at this stage it has the balance i d hoped to attain we ll see how it works out in the inks tomorrow posted by steve bryant at 4 58 am 2 comments labels freelance pencils pulp wednesday september 17 2008 airboy rough sketch i jumped at the opportunity to draw airboy factor in drawing valkyrie and i m so there this piece is an homage to the famous dave stevens cover to airboy 5 which is an homage to the cover of air fighters 2 shown here are the early roughs i did val starts off too lanky i mean there s model proportions and there s taking it too far i took it too far i shortened up her foreground leg in the second sketch i sent the second sketch to jason millet and junbob kim for their suggestions and applied their thoughts in the final sketch shown here i also didn t want airboy to be as passive as i had drawn him originally so i added a gun to his hand rather than the pleading gesture to give it a contemporary john woo dynamic i m pretty happy with how it s developing tomorrow a look at the pencils posted by steve bryant at 4 43 am no comments labels freelance pencils pulp sketchbook tuesday september 16 2008 wonder woman amazon warrior another commission this time around the art direction was wonder woman a warrior version of her with the roman soldier leather skirt i ve drawn the character before also in a warrior context but it was mostly an exercise in mood this time around i wanted to accentuate the musculature and ooomph of an amazon i was looking at darwyn cooke s costuming of the character in new frontier posted by steve bryant at 4 19 am no comments labels commissions dc comics inks samples wonder woman monday september 15 2008 up up and away i ve never drawn superman i ve drawn clark kent ripping his shirt open to reveal the famous emblem but i ve never drawn the man himself i banged this out last week to practice some figure drawing and to try and drum up some new commission work i was surprised how much fun it was this piece also happens to be for sale 100 takes it email me at atomictikistudio at gmail dot com for details i m thinking of reworking the format for the blog and using bigger pictures as shown here waddaya think posted by steve bryant at 4 04 am no comments labels dc comics for sale inks samples sunday september 14 2008 bear down i was traveling last week so i didn t have the opportunity to acknowledge the kickoff of the 2008 pro football season lifelong chicago bears fan here i bleed blue and orange my son s middle name is payton not the contemporarily fashionable peyton as in walter payton one of my boyhood heroes along with jack kirby and paul mccartney his middle name is just as much a tribute to the sunday afternoons i used to spend with my dad watching walter do the impossible walter left walter right and walter up the middle were the three key plays back in those days and we would just watch in awe dad and i continued to watch bears games week in and week out if i wasn t at his house watching with him we d be calling one another after significant plays multiple times a game both walter and my dad are gone now but i still watch every game and after a great tackle or a devin hester td i still reach for the phone or look to my left expecting him to be there with me watching the play and laughing along with me i miss you dad posted by steve bryant at 5 07 am no comments labels chicago bears personal friday september 12 2008 batgirl sometimes doing a simple headshot can be the most fun take this batgirl commission for instance i always felt that the character was lighthearted and am not a fan of what alan moore did to her in the killing joke this piece was an opportunity to get back to the spirit of the silver age of comics y know happy plus i needed to work on drawing smiles still do they re hard posted by steve bryant at 5 19 am no comments labels batgirl commissions dc comics pencils thursday september 11 2008 the gunslinger i ve been intrigued by stephen king s dark tower series for years but never got around to reading it i got a crash course in the series when i was commissioned to draw roland the gunslinger in this ink piece i love to have fun with design y backgrounds and this one was no exception fun stuff posted by steve bryant at 5 39 am no comments labels commissions dark tower gunslinger inks stephen king wednesday september 10 2008 take that pinko today s picture is part of what could be the greatest commission theme ever ever vic sage pummels the presidents for the uninformed vic sage is the alter ego of the question a dc comics character created by steve ditko in the 1960s ditko an adherent to ayn rand s objectivism philosophy sometimes touched upon his views through the character needless to say when given the choice between the question slugging william taft or lbj i chose lbj how do you think a randian objectivist would view the great society take that pinko oh and someone pointed out that the question s figure kind of forms a question mark i wish i could say i was that clever but i m not it s still pretty neat posted by steve bryant at 4 08 am 4 comments labels commissions dc comics pencils the question tuesday september 9 2008 comic geek speak supershow i spent last weekend at supershow an amazing comics convention

addition to spending time with tons of incredibly talented artists that i m proud to call friends among them junbob kim alex serra mike norton morry hollowell brent schoonover ryan stegman jamal igle big jim katie cook dave wachter erica hesse lin workman and more i had the pleasure of meeting and reacquainting myself with bunches and bunches of friends who i have met on the cgs forums not
