Preview of the Supergirl graphic I was working on yesterday. I'm not satisfied with it and I haven't done much with shadows and highlights yet but I wanted to show it off anyway.
I tried a couple of backgrounds but wasn't very thrilled with any of them so I may just do what you guys have been doing and modify the background Jeff drew for it...I dunno yet.

Oh yeah, that's what I'm calling a "working version" and I'll have it a little more intense before I finish it. Thanks for the feedback too.
The Jim Mooney-Supergirl-riding-an-asteroid was an experiment with technique, I wanted to keep the eyes sharp like they are in the sketch but maybe they're too sharp....hhhmmmm...I might see if I can fix that.

thanks Art.
Seeing the Mooney sketch like that made me realise its his pencils that make the eyes funny. She looks like whatever she is sitting on is making her eyes shine wide open.
In your version I noticed when i went back to compare, that the whites are too white, and the pupils have no colour. (at least on my works machine) that may be what makes me notice them.
sorry to sound like I'm carping, I'm not. I have no talent or skill at this sort of thing and am constantly amazed at what you, Deddy, Loser, Reboot and all the others can do with colouring programmes.

My pleasure, really. It also helps when someone has a critique of a piece where I can go back and take a look at what's not working for the audience. Feedback beyond the standard "That sucks, you boogerhead!" helps us (me anyway) polish pieces like that. I think Mr. Mooney's sketchwork deserves the best I can do...and then some. Since I posted those last two I've been working on something else (new thread) but I'll definitely get back to those two Supergirl sketches really soon and finish them off.

Thanks Polar Boy. Now it's yout turn again, got another one of those cool Moy sketches?..or something way cool we might not have seen?
...we've kind of been on a Jeff and Phil Moy kick due to White Raven and her challenges but there are plenty of other Legion sketch artists out there...anybody know where to find any Neal Adams b/w sketches of Legionnaires?

I find you can over-manipulate an image too...so I'm going to post this and quit messing with it. I picked a background that reminded me of somewhat of the Crisis you know where.

It's funny you mentioned over manipulating I postef a few versions of a pic of Jan in the december challenge thread that I have been playing with this afternoon I was sure if I should posthere cause I only couloured it and didn't draw it.

I haven't drawn any of these I've been posting. Sure, I'll change a line and maybe a costume but I really try to keep all the original line work I can. Granted, I sometimes do things like changing that Superboy/Triad pic into a Kent Shakespeare pic but all in all they're other people's stuff.
I look at it as an homage to the artists, both fans and pros. I hope like heck they see it that way too.

That's gorgeous Deds, thanks. I can't tell if it's a delicate charcoal on really smooth paper or if it's a watercolor that's been greyscaled. Your friends there are pretty darned good. (I wonder if I can get that 'oil paint' look on that piece?)
