Description whew! This one was a toughie. Looks like I'm skating in just before the buzzer too.

Maybe just a bit rushed. There may be some things I'd do differently if I had more time. And I doubt it's barely a shine on 's version, but overall, pretty happy with how things turned out.

Honestly, it felt like I spent a ton of time switching around colors in the flats. (my fault not the flatter's) Lots of testing to get the right color combinations on the different characters. Mixes of classic and new.

Anyway, I'm beat.

Pencils: Jimmy Cheung
Inks:
Flats (though he shouldn't be held responsible for how I manhandled them):
Colors by me: Welcome to my place. I'll show you around

props out to as always.

Very nice work, man. Detail fetishist that I am, I love how you've solved Panthro's nunchaku. Good stuff!

BDStevens In reply to artmunki [2012-02-14 01:03:07 +0000 UTC]

"Detail fetishist" I like that. Yeah that little trick with Panthro's nunchuks took like 8 or 9 layers and about 3/4 of an episode of Supernatural to get happy about. Glad the hardcore folks seem to like it.

AWESOME!!! Panthro's nun chucks look amazing. This is my fav BG, Mum ra's eyes, damn good job!

just the blue light coming out of the eye of the sword is bothering me. Everything els is perfect though.

BDStevens In reply to NDGO [2012-02-14 01:01:16 +0000 UTC]

I'll be honest. Red light sources tend to confuse the Hell out of me. Every time I try one, the whole piece goes flat. I've been following for a while now, and he can totally make it work. Maybe someday.

Anyway, tried to pull the lightning in with the background effects so it wouldn't be totally cheating. Glad you like the thing, purist notions aside.
