Dave Gibbons- Rorschach Study

Ok this may surprise alot of you going by the pattern of my blog but it is actually comic book artwork that   I do most! Albeit the last few months I've had to work to earn money and the majority of my jobs have been as graphic designer and doing things like laying out things or designing templates or even photmanipulation. But apart from the odd commission, my comic artwork really has taken a back seat.

Well no more!

I got an hour or 2 free and got this month's Imagine FX magazine which features a nice Dave Gibbon's Pic of Rorschach. It also taught me a few nice new features in MangaStudio and Photoshop which I couldn't resist trying out.

Here's the Dave Gibbons Pic which I'm sure you'll agree is pretty sweet.

Now here's my version. This isn't perfect because there was no point in me spending alot of time just trying to replicate someone else's artwork. SO instead this is a quick exercise in copying a few techniques and learning a few new features.

Not a finished piece, just a study on the techniques used.

Ok so the next logical step would be to create new original piece of artwork, drawing inspiration from these techniques.... hmmm...... STAY TUNED, FOLKS!
