Thanks! The invitations to muscleguild from Darrin and yourself are part of my motivation to rescan and clean up most of my earlier posts. All pics w/ "web" in the title are ready for a gallery. I'll be sending a disc full of them soon, so be patient for a little while longer.

One of the newer tricks I've picked up in photoshop is the hue/saturation adjustment under the image-adjust button. Just by targeting the pic, and then sliding the bar for hue, all the colors change in unison. The new signature stamp I use is a good example: I just slide the hue until the colors in the signature match the background or charachter colors, then drag to where I want it and flatten image. Here is planetman, with the hue moved to -140. Makes the planets on his arms look like chocolate chip cookies e+

After the Stumblebum booth, I took my art supplies outside and sat on a bench to do a sketch of my own. Since I have not done an action sketch in a long time, and no one had done junkman yet, I drew just that. hope everyone likes.

Thanks Kevin, but when are we gonna see more of your art?

Hey URS, glad you like. The smasher after-images were the first idea for the pic: the pose and style were figured out based on how well they worked w/ the afters, and the bg colors to best accent.

After the Junkman pic was finished (sans background to be added later), I went back in to visit the artist section inside the sales floor. Domingo was in, and his young son helped me convince him to trade a sketch for some muscle figures. 3 charachters for 15 figures that I had duplicates of was an ok deal to me. best of all, the 2 times I've seen him since, he's told me how much his son loves those figures, making up names an stories for all of them. Ahh, the circle of life....

Dude! That's a Sweet Pic! :D Maybe in a few years that little fellow will come to the board and talk about his muscles he got from a guy at a convention! e+ Do you remember what figs you traded him?

pretty much all monster low level figs. Kid had a leaning towards creatures, for sure. and both of the sunshine tops. he kept changing his mind, so I couldn't say which ones for sure.

I seem to remember that the main charachter from Domingo's comic, El Gato Negro, Had a luchedore feel to him. Maybe next time I see him, I'll take a mariposa figure with me.

I'm in the process of getting a Wacom tablet to make the switch to digital paintings. Then I'm going to whip up some pics.

I love how his son made up names & stories for them just like we did. Just goes to show how MUSCLE is timeless, even without Kinnikuman.

Not all the art I get at conventions is worth the cost (or the paper its on, in some cases), and the peice here is an example of that. The jacketed Buffaloman figure cross-charachterized with the artist's creation: Some big Lumberjack. Not that great, IMO. Oh well..

Another from the tent, this artist was big into furries.

On a sidenote, I'm done updating the older pics (pages 1 and 2 on this topic) to bigger size, higher resolution, and edited coloring. the files are bigger, but the quality increase more than makes up for it.

On a sidenote to the sidenote, There are only about 25-30 pages left in the book, with about half already used. By the end of March, this book(and possibly this project) should be done and posted.

Here's one that turned out really well from the "tentcon", an asyuraman drawn by an artist that specializes in quirky robots. Check the website by his sig for more of his robot goodness. A color variant included for fun.

Quite possibly the best pro piece in the book, and there have been some real good ones. Be sure to check his stuff out at wildguard.com and Teen Titans Go! for dccomics.com.

The only other artist in my book that I like as much...


Nauck is amazing, I dig his work so much.

big Young Justice Fan, and his characters are just stunning. Big, BIG fan.

look away, kids! Dave Sherrill (who had done the oil man pic) decided that the naked muscle guy with the questionably innapropriate-shaped head was too funny to pass up. turned out great, so enjoy!

Haha! It's Nasty Naked Lester! Probably no one here remembers (except for maybe a few, like Darrin & Nate), but he had his own section on the old MCW site in the 90's. I have the very disturbing picture of him that it led to, but I can't post it because it's not family friendly.

I totally remember Nasty Naked Lester! The MCW was one of the best MUSCLE sites in its day... it's too bad it's not around anymore. :confused:

sorry for the long lapse in posts. My other (muscle) projects deterred me for awhile, but I should be back on track now.

This is one from Wizardworld Texas, from the art section. I'll have to go back through the itinerary, to see what this artist usually draws.

I did the color shading very cartoony on this one: almost looks like an animation cell.

Awesome as usual Reccoom! I really love your color choices for this one! So that is what Toxie would look like with four arms! :D I'd beg for more, but I know your almost out of pages, and well, I don't want to see this project end so soon. :angry:

By the way, what other Muscle projects have you been scheming up? I hope they consist of Micro action figures.

And Dang! I just noticed, but it's hard to believe you've been working on this project for a little over 2 years now. Glad you stuck with it!

2 years huh? seems longer :lol: By far the longest running project I've ever done (even more than college! jk) and may run for another two years, momentum willing.

This new pic is a real doozy. how he pulled the rage and fury from this little guy is beyond me, but maybe it wouldn't have been such a minor character if Yudetemago had seen it this way ;) I made sure he put the link.

Before I started work on this pic, he had all the inks down. I added the color, used black oil paint over the large black fields and some lines that needed heavying (is that even a word?). lasty, I took the tan and brown I'd added for background, and smudged them all squiggly. What I'd originally wanted was all warm colors, with flat red blood sprayback (pick a page from 300, and you get the idea), but didn't have enough variety of the colors nessesary. I really think the sea green works better anyway.

I included a figure reference pic, to show just how far he took the charachter.
