very nice sir, you have exploded with talent sir, the rendering itself is really nice, a million times better then most of the students in my comic book class. Let me know if you want some crits, I don't give them unless people ask for them, but I would love to help, but yeah man these look great, lets get together soon and sketch
hey dude I just wanted to let you know that I was checking up on your work again (KEEP POSTING!!!) and I was looking over these pages again. There is some really solid stuff here, I mean it, I'm not just saying that because you are my friend either, this is solid stuff, and obviously Marvel saw something in them too. This is going to sound funny but the best rendering, the thing that feels the most professional is the tree on your first page. stunning work.
The major thing here will be anatomy, which has improved leaps and bounds over the last couple of years, but suffers from the very thing my sketches do, and that is feeling flat (seeing this mostly in the last page with the..I want to assume, frost giants)
Now my second crit is one I am passing down directly from my comic book teacher and that is to not break the panels from the start. Most of these pages don't do that, or do that sparingly so that is good, but just something to keep in mind.
I'm going ot try and draw over some of these, as much as I can as someone still struggling with this myself, but it will help us both, so I will try and figure out how to do that and get them to you.
I would say just keep going with the pencils dude and don't worry about inking or coloring. You will definitely be a pencilist.
Also, buy this book if you haven't already, don't think about it, just buy it- http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0615272819. I have looked at Hogarth's stuff and tried to mimic coipel's work, but this is what every artist should use now. It approaches anatomy from a design perspective, breaking down every muscle and bone into simple shapes that are easy to remember. The only thing it lacks is detailed instruction on arm and leg muscle construction but other than that it is perfect. It is the only anatomy book that I've actually read-read, like words, from left to right.
Well sir, keep them coming, scan some sketches, I want to see your thought process. And as always let me know when you want to get together and sketch
