Spidey getting his butt kicked by Moon Knight

H*ll yeah! Spidey's getting his ass whooped in this page from Ultimate Spider-man #79. I saw the blank lineart at Newsarama, and just knew that I had to have a stab at colouring it.

Now, I coloured this without looking, or knowing what the original looked like. The idea is that it's supposed to be at a late hour of the day, at dusk sorta. Therefore everything is sporting an orange palette.

Here's the original for comparrison. As the scholared ones will notice, the line-art is of course by the masterful Mark Bagley.

One of my favorite artists.

Also to note, is that in order to acctually simplify the process, of colouring, I skipped out on the shades-layer, and went straight for an only highlights-layer.

How a piece with a shades-layer can look like, have a looksee here.

Very nice, Preds.
Just looking at it as a reader, while I dig what you did, it does miss some shading. The flatter orange backgrounds make Spidey less distinct. Cool work tho.

Any advice for colouring in artwork? I seem to recall there was a tutorial linked to floating about here at one stage...
edit: found it.

You're getting good at this Preds. Well done.

Thanks lads.

I'll think about touching it up with some shades later on.

Cool that you found a tutorial Kingmob!

Be looking forward to see some of your experimentation.

Where would transfans be without drunk posts? Nowhere! I tell ya!

I made a small update to the pic, it's less orange now. A small blue-matte.

And 'eere we go lads! 5 months later, and here is page two.

Ah, I got fessed up with the page and may have rushed Moonys mantle a bit, but I think it's pretty decent.

Thanks Besters! One day I'll reach the point where you'll see the wisdom of using my services for Transfest.

( hehe, I gotta fish for transfest at any given moment, 'cause working together on a team to make a real comic-mag is so darn fun!

)

Yeah, MiztaJonz, *ve discovered to the awesomeness that is Moon Knight! The new series from outa' Marvel is one of my favs right now. ^^
