this is awesome. I love the style, the designs on his clothes and the way you've drawn the cloak of Levitation. Amazing work

This is very elegant. For some reason, I always think of Dr. Strange as being very Eastern, and the patterns on his clothing kind of echo that, which is pretty cool.

I do have a lot of influence from artists like Yoshitaka Amano and Keita Amamiya, and traditional art forms such as ukiyo-e, so YES! Good eye!

Oh, I'm happy about it. You not only rock, but also rule. This is easily in the top five pictures of Doctor Strange I've ever seen.
The way the colors are blurred and whatnot doesn't just create the illusion of light and depth; it gives the piece that quasi-trippy mystical feel that makes Doctor Strange so great.

Yuo are so awesome. I've started playing Kindred of the East, and all the players were like 'hey, you know that artist! How do you know her?'. Referring to you as a special friend gives me wonderful chills.
Sorry to put you on a pedestal. Its nice to imagine there are people out there at the moment.

Man, I love Doctor Strange so much. This is a great picture of him. Are those the Crimson Bands of Cytorrak he's casting?

Yes. They're the easiest to add to help round out a composition for me.

I'm speechless.... you really outdid yourself on this! I love the hazy background and the gold trim just seems to pop out. Fabulous!
Photoshop?

Ahhhh, which version of Photoshop?
Since I know that things change between them sometimes...

I am learning cs4- I used photoshop 7 till I gave in and bought this version last year because 7 wouldn't work on Vista (turns out NOTHING works on Vista anyways. >:/ )

Heheh, though I've heard some not-so-great things... hmm, but you'd say the good outweighs the bad?

MelUran In reply to GoldenFantasyArts [2010-10-08 18:14:30 +0000 UTC]
For me, from an artist standpoint- YES. 7 also has much better resource allocation than XP. I don't have nearly as many problems with hang ups and programs choking as I did with Vista.

Nope. Photoshop and a blotchy brush.

This is the kind of sweet, made-over costume Strange needs. Very chic.

MelUran In reply to AshleyCope [2010-10-08 16:14:46 +0000 UTC]
YES. But also, I can't see someone drawing this design over and over and over for comic pages.

MelUran In reply to AshleyCope [2010-10-08 17:41:14 +0000 UTC]
It has more to do with all the decor I slapped on his cloak. It's the sort of thing that ties up deadlines. :<

You're too kind to them bums, lady.

MelUran In reply to AshleyCope [2010-10-08 17:45:39 +0000 UTC]
I'm kind because comic pages are freakin' hard. There's so many more details they have to pay attention to like individual panel composition plus storytelling layout PLUS making sure to allow for speech balloons and narration and on a freakishly short deadline every month. It's work I'm not cut out for, so they got lots of respect from me.
