texts are placeholder. what do you think of the concept and idea? final will have UV light awesomeness going on so that the "telekinesis" is only visible when at the club =)

btw, are ciggarettes a big no-no?

good idea. i like hand in front. maybe you can show us a picture with the "telekinesis" :)

please comment on some of my latest designs

Nice one! Like that a lot! Try to add more shadows (for example at creases) with grey to get more depth.
Think you should show the whole body, down to his feet.

A nice feature would be a light background in simple outlines and areas (so it won´t distract attention away from the main object). A ghosttown setting could do the trick. With hovering stones or even a floating horse.
Just an idea :)

Good job up to here!

Ah! Forgot this one: the expression of his face is great!
And keep the cigarette! It emphasizes the rough 'n' tough style! err...you know what i mean! :)

its about 10% finished. REALLY liked the idea about floating objects in the background. thanks! will see about putting in extra colors.

progress report. i say the shadow work is about 75% complete

also, placement on guns not final.

YAY! Nice one. didn´t notice your first version was only an intermediate result. niiiice :)
can´t wait for the final version!

the right arm is too long

What are you working with? graphic tablet or simply illustrator?

tablet + photoshop. right arm "might" too long. will try to shorten a little.

very nice style de drowing. But right arm ist realy strenge. Wrong proportions

Pease vote there
Please critic there

about 50% complete now. i love working with lots of text cause its the most challenging thing you can do, and do well, in design i think.

remember, im going to use UV ink for the "telekinetic" text and some effects around the hands and pistols. will look really cool.

dont worry, theres going to be an awesome background =)

i plan on using max 3-4 colors. ideal = 2 but its gonna be atleast 3 i think.

not sure about the hair on the forehead. it kind of changes his face-expression. in v2 he seems more confident and tough. in this version the hair affect on the eyes an leads to an expression of slight insecurity or sorrow.....don´t know....maybe it´s me.
but compare!

i thought it made him look more "boyish" but ok.. ill remove it =)

no need for a boy. this affords a real man!

im not happy with the "sun" but i left it in for now so you can see the composition. there is ALOT of negative (and positive) space inking left to be done. expect more detail =)

Nice! Cool idea, and I'm digging the execution. Looks like an old woodcut. The "Never bring a knife to a" text kind of disappears, what with the flourishes to the sides and the sun behind it. Maybe you could try making the white outline a little heavier to separate it a bit more. And you will be adding the word "gunfight," somewhere, right?
Can't wait to see this one develop further!

yea i sorta agree on the text issue. but im still torn, if printed, the text is going to be conisderably larger then any 640x800 pic can do justice.

im also torn on whether to let the art spell out gunfight/ standoff/shootout or the text aswell.

Hmm. I think I'd either add "gunfight" or get rid of all of the text. The image is definitely strong enough to stand on its own, but your typography is quite nice and I think it helps you to figure out what exactly is going on quicker. I get what you're saying about letting the image fill in for the last word, but as of right now I think it just looks like you forgot to add it.

about 90% done now. gunfight text to come along with tweaks stuff like that

almost finished now. text is not final yet. you can see what i want to accomplish with the UV ink... i hope =)

I like it
