Something I painted up while trying out Art Rage 2. Yeah, yeah, I know, the subject matter is blah. I was just trying to get the feel for the program which isn't bad considering it's only $25. Here's the link to the site: http://www.ambientdesign.com/
Being a big Mortal Kombat fan at the time, I drew up my version of Scorpion. Actually, my favorite character was Scorpion's nemesis, Sub-Zero, but ol' Scorpy was just too cool with his spear-on-a-rope! Maybe one day I'll draw Sub-Zero... This was inked using a combination of using an ultra-fine flair pen and ultra-fine Sharpee marker.
One of my early sketches. This guy I just called "Sticks". My main reason for sketching him was to experiment with how to shade and highlight the dark colored costume. I used a kneaded eraser to slowly pull out the highlights. Ebony pencils worked great to get the extreme darks.
