Hey Skeffin - thanks for taking the time dude - you did that paintover in 5 mins?? You're a fast painter!
Also thanks for the reminder about focussing on the big stuff first - it's one of those things I know I should do but too often I forget to do it!
Although in this instance I was actually studying how to paint veins and muscle structure - hence the detail.
Anyway - I'm in the process of recreating the comic page study from memory - been resisting the urge to peek at the original and just going off and doing some research to fill in the gaps as well as trying to push the colours and values a bit more.
I read somewhere that Ribic will sometimes make a solo image and then cut and paste it and re-use it in multiple places - like with the statue of the giant monster Thor in this page - I believe he drew the whole statue and then chopped it up to re-use in multiple panels.
It's all helping me learn what goes into creating a page like this. Any critiques would be appreciated - cheers!
