Well, it's been a month since my last post, so I thought I'd drop by and show off my superhero Wildcard. Enjoy!

Here's what I was actually working on...

For the scales I used add noise, then gaussian blur, maybe crystallize? then dent. Sorry I can't be more specific, I really need to start writing down some of the textures i use so I can duplicate them more easily! Here's a female superhero that I was working on when I accidentally changed the background to black, completely changing the direction of the illustration. I like it though, so I thought I'd share it. Enjoy!

Here's something a bit more graphic, a blood-drooling hellhound. Unfortunately it didn't make the cut for the book I submitted it for (the snakeman did, woo hoo!). Enjoy!

I like your style, the proportions look great! Did you sketch her free hand first?

Thanks guys! I was definitely aiming for the comic book vibe, so I guess it's coming through! Here's one I just submitted for a fantasy rpg book that's coming out. I had to submit it in grayscale, so the coloring on this one is an afterthought and half-hearted. It took me forever to figure out how to get a scaley texture without drawing every darn scale, but i think this turned out pretty well and the author was happy. Any suggestions on how to get a more realistic scale texture would be appreciated! Hope you enjoy...

Here's a villain named O'Conner, an Irish revolutionary of course! I found the Metallize plugin and it's awesome! I used it on her armor then ran the Ink Sketch function over it. Honestly it looked pretty good without the Ink Sketch, but I really like the background and it goes together better this way I believe!

Here's a space-travelling superhero that I rendered using heavy doses of Ink Sketch and the Motion Blur functions.

Thanks for the tips! I had seen the tuts for glass buttons but had never thought they might work for what I was trying to achieve but I stand corrected! Once I get some time I'll polish up the fella. Here's another I did for someone who was creating an eco-warrior native american who could turn into a hawk, aka Redtail...

First, my apologies if I broke any rules. Let me know and I'll fix it. I started using Paint.net a few months ago when I decided to start illustrating some comic-based rpg material. I've absolutely loved the program and am still in a steep learning curve, but here's the best pic I've created thus far. I had intended to make the blue panels in his armor "glow" but I haven't figured out a good way to do it (I looked through the forums but ran into more "read the rules" posts than actual useful info). If anyone has any suggestions on how to improve the pic, let me know!
