Phew, holy buckets of hell am I glad this baby is done. I've been working on this whenever I could for more than a month now. I owe a huge thanks to my boss Steve for making me the films I used (with registration marks), letting me use the shop to burn my screen, and tipping me off to a way better way of doing my colors.

Anyway, so I'm guessing most of y'all are probably Simpsons fans, so our fishy buddy here probably needs no introduction, heh.

I was gonna do a process post for this, but since it's about the same was the dead alive poster, I can't be arsed. If you want to see more of the process, check the gallery and read the annotations. You should also totally buy one!

[Edit: Oh, I knew there was something important I was forgetting to say about this. Like the last poster I made, this too was made from hand-drawn color separations. Which, I'm beginning to think may be more trouble than it's worth, heh.]

I can be arsed to have another beer, tho.


OOH! And in other totally sweet news, I'm moving over from automatic to manual printing at work as of TOMORROW! Schweeeeeeeeeeet!!!

-P.

Heh, I have so many other awesome projects in mind, it's actually hard to know which one to pick to do next. There's an art festival in NoDa on the 10th of December, tho, and there's a couple things I want to try to have done before then. Here goes!

For those of you new to my f-list, I have a small collection of lineart on my hard drive, downloaded from various places, that I like to get digital colouring practice on.

( Here's another bit of Matt Adams' lineart I've worked on. )

-P.

rotsman pretty frequently posts lineart in his journal. Each time he does, I save it to my hard drive with the intention of colouring it. I finally got started on the first piece yesterday,

( What do you think? )

I... know that I did these wrong; RoTS isn't a black and white comic; Matt has definite designs and colours for these characters already. I coloured this without being familiar with them, which makes this ineffective as fanart, but it was more of an exercise in digital colouring anyway. It was fun working with someone else's lineart; I had to interpret the face far differently than I'm used to. I've gotta do more of this.

The third face is a bit more boring than it could have been, and the fourth just sucks, but I was pleased with the others. Matt, do you mind if I put this up on TSE as a filler udpate?

-P.
