Description
Still learning things about markers every time I work. Such as a saturation limit. Especially if you work with Prismacolor, the black ink is a bit different from every other ink. At some point, if you layer it too much, it won't be absorbed by the paper any more and you get streaks like you see here. from anywhere other than straight on, the light doesnt catch it, but it's nicely visible here in the scan. Things like that drive me bananna sandwich.Anyways, a 90's classic created by the beast known as Sam Kieth. I always wanted to take a crack at him, so this was a cool one to work on.
Prismacolor cool grey and white paint on vellum bristol board.

I like the look of the claws--dare I say it's better than Sam's version, IMO.

man, outside of sam himself, this could be the most awesome take on the maxx i've ever seen.
i guess i'm not quite sure about what type of prismacolor you're using.
i think of prismacolor as color pencils.
you seem to be referring to a type of ink. i'm not familiar with a prismacolor ink i guess.
and i've used quite alot of inks.
anyway,...
this is massively badass.

I just did a Maxx piece about a month ago. I absolutely love the character design and you really captured his essence in this piece. Three thumbs up. Great work with strong lines and a powerful pose and let's not forget that shading. Great!

I love it! Your take on the claws is awesome. They seem to flow right outta his hands and then become these crazy bone-protrusions. Needs more Isz!

I have a Handmaiden Padme sketch I did with marker that also had that issue. At first, the layering was going well, and then it started getting all splotchy. I was using a limited number of gray shades, so I was trying to make it as dark as I could through multiple layers.

what paper are you doing it on that can hold both?

It's just normal Bristol board. Im using the vellum finish version, but that doesn't change thickness. A good all purpose drawing board.

I love the edge control. Its very tastefully rendered. It feels extremely detailed, but not busy. I think the neg. space works well.
