Description
Was talking to an editor at Marvel and he said he wanted to see some more samps. from me using better perspective on my backgrounds. So I decided to do some Xmen samps. So I get the sketching not knowing what kind of story or who I'm going to put in the story. And this is what came out. Hope ya like it.Related content

Only thing I can mention here that hasn't been mentioned. Try to avoid splash pages in a submission. You can show the editors how much you know about a scene in a single panel, but what a lot of editors are really concerned about initially is if you can tell a story.
Leave the splashes and pinups for the portfolio itself to show around, but when submitting to Marvel, you only have between 3-5 pages to show them a story. Use all of them to panel out a story and show them you can consistently keep the work flowing.
Great work on all your gallery though. Very hot work.

if you could exaggerate marrow more, that would really be good. yea you can tell she is drawing her sword thing, BUT she looks like shes half asleep. maybe if she was screaming or something it would be easier read. but thats just my opinion.

Not bad, but I think you need to really work on more extreme angles. That's what Marvel is talking about.

Dynamic perspective, but yeah, it's tough to match the floor and walls and cielings to match up easily with a perspective like this. I think you're on the right track though.

Wow! yeah thats a good perspective right there! And you did a character not much appreciated i love marrow big props for that. Hey how bout doing a story crossing over characters thats different at least for Marvel. Spidey, Marrow, The Bat make it a free for all!

You are far above the average comic artist. Marvel would be lucky to have you. I hestitate to say this lest you forget about our project. lol The only conceivable reason I can see for you not getting work from them is that you, like your avatar, are actually on fire and Marvel may have a "no smoking" policy.

LOL!!!!! Thanx man!! I wont forget about the project. If I get something from marvel I'll be working on yours and theirs as well. 2 projects at a time remember.

this is looking really solid man. the figures are always top notch from you.. but maybe the background needs a little tidying up? as for the perspective, because of the fact that you see the floor and the roof, the vanishing point should be somewhere at marrow's crotch.. so the lines on the roof/floor/walls should maybe converge around there. right now they look like they're going to meet somewhere below the bottom of the page. does that make any sense? if not i'll draw it up quickly on pshop for ya.

Its not making sense....lol....Please draw up something and show me. Thanx a bunch man!

hehe
ok here's your drawing, i've accentuated the vanishing lines in blue.. see how for the most part they meet at the bottom of the page? in some cases, the lines don't meet at all.
[link]
so i've erased some of the bg for you and added some vanishing lines of myself.. i made the vanishing point for those lines around marrow's crotch area.
[link]
so when i draw my background, the space that marrow and wolvie are in look a little more dimensional
[link]
it's the small things, but it makes a ton of difference sometimes.
hope that helps! good luck with the submission man!

Oh I see what you mean now. I didnt even have the floor showing tho. Just the cieling. Wolvie is standing up looking back and she's diving down. So I figured u wouldnt see the floor. Let me know if I'm wrong or not.

nice setting...cool dynamics and the perspective looks pretty much dead on! nice work (is that Marrow?)

Good luck! Those major corporations can be fickle.

ah, marrow... one of my fav characters... very dynamic...
i wonder how this would end?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Marrow is one of my new favs. But Wolvie is my all time fav(besides spidey). Its like comparing the rock to Hulk Hogan! I for sure know How this is going to end. Sorry to spoil it for ya! lol
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Meh... Wolvie is everywhere abit too much, so to speak, for me to like him... not saying he's a bad character or anything, 'cause he is cool... no doubt about that. My heart though, she lies with Remy... always and forever!
C'mon.... spoil it for me? Pleeeeeease?! I have an issue where Mar and Wolv sparr... whoo! that was a good issue....

Is it xmen issue # 72 by pacheco? Because that issue was awesome!!!!

Hmm... y'know what? It's a good thing I brought my comics home from school today... I must go and see
*runs and checks*
WHEW! You're right! it is!
I was freaking out for a second, 'cause I thought I had lost it....

nice figures! but the perspectives pretty simple looking... maybe dont do it where one face is paralell, but try and do it so all faces would be in perspective...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well I'm not that good at perspective so I tried to keep it simple. I never had anyone teach me this stuff so I had to teach myself and I always wuz a very slow learner. If you can elaborate a little more on what u mean, dont worry I can take bad crits.....
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i mean the back face is a perfect square where the horizontal and vertical lines are all parallel, this is only 1 point perspective... try and do at least two point, where to planes are vanishing to a horizon line or even make the 3rd vanish vertically
hope this helps

LOL! Thanx man! I really hope so!

It's not hope, it's knowledge. Just keep working on a number of perspective sketches. I'd say do a piece in the cocpit of an airliner, as that's quite dificult. As well as a security room-camras, moniters, computers, ect.

Sounds difficult! I'll try it.
