Artist's Comments

This is a Gruau-style sample I just finished for Diane von Furstenberg/DC Comics. I don't quite understand what it's being used for, but hopefully I'll get the 9-page gig.

It's been a while since I've colored these sorts of washes and the job was rushed (start to finish in 5 hours) but it turned out alright. I wish Paltrow's face was less overworked. It's hard hitting that perfect spot between rendered and suggested detail. But I'm pretty happy with the first two.

I have a feeling and a comic book colorist is NEVER going to be able to match this look by dropping the grays and whatnot.

Damn! That's different, isn't it? I don't think anything looks overworked in this - it's all very spontaneous to me. The colors are spectacular.
:iconresidentlilly:
Your talent is flabbergasting, man. 5 hours? That's IT? Holy crap...
:iconthequezot:
Nah man, it looks great. Was it graywashed first by hand, then photoshopped with color, or traditional color?

If the colors are photoshop, you did a swell job making them look painted. If not, they still look damn swell.

did you have reference?

dude you need to totally color your own work all the time. i like your hellblazer pages but something got lost in the final product.

i know you probably don't have the time to do it, but man i'd love to see your pages done like this.

Wow.... your versatility amazes me... and here I thought your strong point were inks and that's that...

I like the sort of eighties look they have, and the shape of their bodies... great

It's the wood that should fear your hand, not the other way around. No wonder you can't do it, you acquiesce to defeat before you even begin. ~Pai Mei: Kill Bill

Sean, you've got the kind of style that's always exciting to look at...no matter what the subject. I hope we get to see lots more from you in the comic realm.

No watercolors man. Just wash and then photoshop.
