Marvel Comics 'Audition' - Colouring Jorge Molina's X-Men page

OK so I didn't personally get asked to audition for Marvel- ='( - but I did get a chance to compete in the next best thing!

Artist Jorge Molina (http://zurdom.deviantart.com/) working on the X-Men series put up 4 pages of his inks from X-Men issue 16 and offered anyone the chance to 'Work for Marvel'!

So the challenge was to colour his pages and he would pick which colourist's art he liked best and from what I can gather they would continue to colour his pages on his current X-Men run!

My first time properly colouring a full page and wow is there alot of detail that I took for granted!

In this page is the new Fantastic Four, Doctor Doom and Cyclops from the X-Men. This is page 4 of issue 16 by the way!

Here's how my flat colours turned out.....

Not much to look at I know lol

This was pretty damn challenging- but after a while here's the finished version =D


BTW the edges aren't neat because the original template had a bleed area =)

What do yas think?

E-mailing it off to him now for feedback!






EDIT
Browsing round the web I think I found the finished colours that ended up in the book- pretty insane =D

The Scottscars 2023

    The 2023 Scottscars For the film industry, 2023 was a year of soaring highs, particularly in animation, as well as crippling strains- see the SAG-AFTA strike or the state of Marvel and DC. So grab yourself a Venti Iced Skinny Hazelnut Macchiato, with sugar free syrup and enjoy the 2023 Scottscars- the awards they all want to win, they just don't know it yet.

Guess the Sketch!

So I've decided that my artwork's went waaaay downhill since I moved to digital sketching and inking. I still prefer digital for non messy colouring but for sketching, nothing beats a good ol' pencil. So for my first serious pencil sketch since my Sherlock Holmes sketch back in about 2008 I decided to sketch ......... Why don't you guess? Here's my first initial outlines, which to be honest looks like a troll in drag. Anyone who guesses right before I update the post with my progress can pick what I draw next! That's right people- FREE COMMISSION! Post your guesses here on the blog if you have a googlemail/gmail account or in the link on my facebook Dear, dear I've got my work cut out for me
