Cholma, Now with More Cape!

Posted on October 14, 2013 by BrassyDel

Because I drew the lineart for this Cholma piece on bristol board, I ran out of space to really fit the cape in. I barely got the top hand in! So the cape was added after in Photoshop. It took a couple tries to get a shape I really liked, but now I’m super happy with how it turned out….

Evil Cholma, Part II

Posted on October 9, 2013 by BrassyDel

It’s a bit easier to tell our two Cholmas apart, now that they’re in color. Green versus red… the weirdest Christmas special ever? Or just THE BEST?

Evil Cholma, Because OF COURSE

Posted on October 7, 2013 by BrassyDel

Don’t be fooled! This dashing and dastardly gentleman is actually eCho, or Evil Cholma. Created in a secret lab from stolen hero DNA, Evil Cholma is similar to the man destined to be his nemesis. But what I really want to know is how does he keep his hair looking so good in the heat of battle?! A girl’s gotta…

Cholma, All Colored Up

It’s done! Cholma in all his technicolor glory. The lineart (ink only) appeared on Monday, then we had flat colors on Wednesday, and now I’m finishing the progressive mini-series today.

You may remember Cholma from such exciting tales as The Christmas Caper and Halloween Hijinx, both written by Cho (of StoryTime Fame). If you don’t remember Cholma, it looks like you have some reading to catch up on first! For everyone else, move right along to today’s lineart: Cholma! He’s one tough cookie, and it looks like someone is about…

Final Art: The Evil Dr. Brassy

Happy Monday! I brought you something shiny: the finished, fully shaded colors for Dr. B. I am especially happy with her hair, just FYI. Enjoy!

Flat Colors: The Evil Dr. Brassy

Posted on September 18, 2013 by BrassyDel

Follow-up to Monday’s post, we have the flat colored version of Dr. Brassy. Flat colors means that there is no shading. After this step comes the shading, which happens on layers in Photoshop as described in this previous art post.

Lineart: The Evil Dr. Brassy

Posted on September 16, 2013 by BrassyDel

The evil Dr. Brassy casts tenebrous tentacles! I drew Dr. B on bristol board with a mechanical pencil, inked with microns 005 and 08 size pens. I scanned the piece at 600 dpi B & W (bitmap) then cleaned it up in Photoshop. I used such a large resolution because I wanted to make sure the lineart looked smooth instead…

Final Colors: GlitterFey is Really Hot

Posted on September 2, 2013 by BrassyDel

Back with the final installment of this three part series on drawing GlitterFey, we have a fully shaded piece. Comprising 14 separate Photoshop layers, GlitterFey now boasts fancy translucent wings and five levels of highlights and shading. I’m especially fond of how her ridiculously pink (and ridiculously short) tartan skirt turned out. I stole a brilliant shading technique from David…
