Artist's Comments

Here's a glimpse into what I probably would have been doing for my art career had I not gotten into animation!

This is one of two birthday presents for my twin brothers, who's birthday was on the 22nd (the day Indy 4 came out, hence this theme!). I wanted to portray it via Drew Stuzan-ish, who was my biggest artistic influence in high school and my introduction into commercial art. Studying his work helped solidify my illustration skills at the time.

Took only two days. Conte on toned paper, which is a little different that what Struzan usually uses (colored pencil on toned), though it's my own composition. I actually went and bought new dvd's of the movies so I could get good screen grabs!

This one was for :iconsaltydogsrfr:, whom you should REALLY bug to put up more of his photography! Even with how busy the Navy keeps him, he still finds time to shoot stuff, and has been to some great places.

You know something? I'm cool with this!
:iconfirest0rm:
I think it's cool how you have a list of people who you admire and who influence your art. I'm not entirely sure where my influences are coming from.

This is a really cool piece, though. Indy's classic, and you really captured the classic Indy.

YES!

I know I'm in the minority in this... but the Temple of Doom is my favorite Indy movie. This piece is lovely! :love:

Oh wow, what quality work. I'm such a sucker for toned paper and conte. I only wish I could render it like you, holy CRAP.

The eyes are my favorite part, along with his deltoid. That sounds funny, and I can't explain why, but I LOVE how that looooks! I know you want a critique, but I can't find anything wrong. :-)

Awesome job! Your bruddahs are so so lucky!
