Wolverine stage 1....

I'm a huge fan of Michael Golden and Art Adams version of the man- the short 5 foot tall - 5 feet wide covered in hair- As well as the match ups with him and the Hulk always great fun- I hung out Thursday with the great Charlie Wen (the badass concept artist on God of War and the upcoming Gatchaman film) and he told me those beautiful paintings he does- he does straight into the computer he just starts rendering so I gave it a shot myself...I really hope he doesn't see this-HA!

final Panther....

So I went foliage nuts to fill up the surrounding image, with alot of grain overlay to add noise and haze to the background to hide my sloppy speed strokes...when I finish Wolverine I'll post the steps for this particular background up here ...D
