Decatur, eh? Boooo! Nah, just kidding. I don't get the imaginary beef between Southside and Eastside! I'm glad you got a nice tour of the town, though! I don't often venture to Buckhead, but I used to mall-rat at Lenox before... well, before *ahem* I just outgrew my mall-rat phase, (yeah, that's it, lol).
The Southside really isn't all that bad, there are just certainly spots you don't want to go to alone. College Park and Union City have been pretty cool, and certain parts of Riverdale seem to be okay. The West End... is okay for shopping for clothing (especially if you don't give a crap about brand names like me). There are quite a few Historical treasures here, like the Wren's Nest and the home of Joel Chandler Harris (the guy who wrote the Uncle Remus stories) but I think the house is under renovation again. I can say that it's not nearly as bad as it used to be in the 90s, though. If you ever plan to be near, gimme a holler, I'll give the heads up on where to avoid

I know exactly where Tyler Perry's studio is located, lol! It's right there at Greenbriar Mall, near Magic Johnson Theaters. Your best bet on that (because the security is tighter than an extra-small thong on an 800lb man) is to either email your resume, preferably to a lady named Alpha Tyler who is one of his main casting directors. I've been trying to get on there myself, with no success yet, but I rarely give up... I might stand back and plot for a while, but I eventually come back like a hungry stray.
I haven't been to a Brave's game since I was in high school!! LOL make sure you don't get one of those dreaded nosebleed seats! The stadium isn't too far away from me, either. The good thing about where I stay is that it's pretty much a stone's throw away from downtown Come to think of it, I haven't ventured to Little Five Points in a couple of years either... I need to hit up that Mellow Mushroom and do some window shopping at The Junkman's Daughter like soon! Wait a minute... okay, either The Vortex or Mellow Mushroom, lol!

Dammit...I didn't know that it was that close to Greenbriar! My dad wanted to go their this past weekend (he calls it "the black people mall" ), but my cousin talked him out of it by saying it's too ghetto! (She also talked them out of going to Lenox for another stupid reason) Hmm...Alpha Tyler, eh? Definitely gonna look into that!
Although, I was in Best Buy today and saw the stand up display for Madea Goes to Jail and looked at his supporting cast...he tends to use these "beautiful people" (especially males, no homo) in his plays/movies/shows...Derek Luke, Allen Payne, the guy from Daddy's Little Girls, etc. and I must say, the voice of doubt is shouting loud in that they wouldn't take some skinny dude like me, unless I were to be some joke character or something. But, I need to be more positive and not shoot myself in the foot before I even try!
And wow...you haven't been to Lil' 5 or a Braves game in a mintue? Well, with the Braves...they haven't been so hot in the past few years, so I can see why there's not much enthusiasm in going...I'd like to go just to say that I've been to an MLB game.
And Little 5 is too dope...it's an artists' playground! My personal favorite store is Criminal Records...Comic Books and CD's in one store?!!? I decided to take a voyage a few months back, as I was looking to get my hands on the new MF DOOM lp, and no one else had it. I haven't eaten at Vortex, but I hear that it's really good! And I didn't know that there was a Mushroom down there...I used to work at, and live off of, Mellow Mushroom in Charleston, SC several years ago! (Coolest job EVER!) Only thing is, there's hella panhandlers down there! I swear that there's one for every 10 feet! I wish that I lived closer to that side of town; I'd like to go to experience the night life down there at some of the restaurants/bars and take in the local color...maybe I could meet a cool artsy cutie pie that's looking to be my muse!

I feel you on Tyler Perry's obsession with 'the beautiful people'... Guess once Oprah gets a hold of you, that's the effect she has, lol. *ducks and hides from Oprah's space satellite* But don't sell yourself short at all-- there are a few movie companies starting up in Atlanta and they're looking for fresh talent. I wish I could find a directory of them, but I do know a guy who does a lot of local acting. I'll ask him for some information if he doesn't have his head up his keister next time I speak with him.
If you're really interested, though, I'm sure you know to make an acting resume if you don't already have one and hit up the audition scene; sometimes Creative Loafing has some legitimate casting call listings. Also, I'm occasionally sent emails for castings and I'll shoot them to you as they come to me in the future So yes, dude, stay positive! Remember Marlon Wayans with his skinny self?! Yeah, he had family connects and what not, but look at him now. I think you have the personality and the humor to really do big things, I believe in you!

I see that your backgrounds are imperoving. One thing that I have yet to master is the fine art of pencil shading! Tremendous job Marc!I can tell that you worked hard on this!

Thanks Johnny...even cooler is that just came up with that backdrop on it's own. The ref. pic had a very blurry backdrop of a yacht and some other stuff that I couldn't draw, so I was just gonna put the never ending sea behind her. I thought that was a little plain, so that's when I added the rock formation!
As for the pencil shading, that's where I got the best comprehension of the whole game of shading and highlighting and it started in that pic of Anoka that I did for you. Once you get the shading down on your pencils, it then serves as a guideline for when you go to digi-color the piece. I don't know what kind of pencil you use, but I would recommend that you go and try to procure several different sizes of leaded pencils. If you're like me and use mechanical pencils, I recommend a .03 mm (for really fine, precise light lines), .05 mm (that's the standard mech. pencil size), and a .09 mm (for dark and bold lines).

nice nice... is angry jealous about the shading.. you kicked arse in this one Marc. on the nose.... don't totally deconstruct it. from what i see you only have to bring the shading where the light hits the dark down a lil more, then flatten out the nostrils a bit.. with her faceing forward like that the nostrils wouldn't be flared but slightly horizontal. awesome pic... im favin and coloring the inks man... maybe even this one.

Mr-Marcus-81 In reply to Zhone14 [2009-07-12 05:52:07 +0000 UTC]
Thanks homie! Yeah, I think the thing with the nose is that the nostrils look a little big and also her lips are a little too close to the bottom of her nose. I'm in the process of coloring this piece, and I've gone back and lowered her lips a tad and narrowed up her nostrils.
I would have been done coloring this by now, but I had to work ALL DAY on Friday, and my fam is in town so I spent all day today with them and will be with them again tomorrow.

I guess there's no rest for the weary, as the innocent is always gonna need a protector! I'm glad you like it so far Dwight...I was doing my best to keep her body toned way down from what I normally do with my girls, yet still keep her super sexy...as I can tell that she has a bangin' body, but we don't ever really get to see it! When I saw the ref. pic in my magazine, I was like "Damn, that would make for a great LFP pic!" There was another one of the same girl, but it was a semi-back shot and she was pulling her bikini bottoms down, and as hot as it was I didn't think that it was fitting for Francine...it was too sexy, and she's not a sexpot type of character!
However, being that we've only seen her in a few images where she's blatantly showing off the sexy I wanted to push the envelope a little bit with LFP's sex appeal without going overboard with it! This pose was a perfect mix of "I'm scorching hawt, but I'm still a badass!" I hope it's not too much!
And yes, I love the wet hair look!
I'll probably start inking/coloring this after work later today, so hopefully she'll be done either later tonight, or early tomorrow.

You know, this sounds like something Det. Angie would do also, since she's the only hero character in the LFP universe. I think you found the perfect balance with sex appeal with LFP here.
