OMP. Look. I got to color this. Thank you, thank you, thank you . I have loved this picture from the first time I saw it. And the fact that Guido let me practice on it is such a huge deal to me. He is one of my main top Art Gods. I am so, so grateful.
As always, I wish I'd done better.
But the things I did that I liked are: --Ye olde complimentary colored pencil juicy bits trick. I actually put bright green on the tops of all the bits of glop on him. It was almost a joke at first, but then I did the face, and went to town with it. --I tried to keep the color pallete dull. It got brighter toward the end, simply to keep everything from mudding together. But I did start out with much different colors than the usual. Which is always fun.
Markers and colored pencil on textured taupe-colored cardstock.
The sad thing is, I don't know! I haven't had the chance to read this particular comic book yet! (Infestation II) Guido did put in a lot of delicious detail.
The lights and gradients in this are GORGEOUS, hon! 8D A marvelous addition to the piece Guido put together. Poor Prime took a big fall, it seems like. Megs is very likely chortling at him from afar.
I think this is offline-for-umpty-million-years-Prime from G1, and those dudes on the hill are going to revive him. (Haven't read it yet, but I assume.) What a wake-up call: "Hey Mr. Prime, haul your aft outta bed -- we need you to fight Cthulhu...!"
I have seen the HoS toys. I lust after the Shockwave one SO BAD IT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY. Like trying to justify the pricetag lust. .
