Description
I'M FINALLY FINISHED!!!! (and I never want to look at it again!)Spiderman picture I digitally painted for a friend's birthday (now super belated.)
Frickin' too many hours on Corel PainterX and Photopaint! I'm now pretty sick of digital colouring.
(edit: for those of you (vinny-chan, I think) who commented on a previous submission while dA was spazzing out on me, I had to take it down, so I lost your comment...sorry!!)

I've seen this in your gallery but it's taken this long for this lazy butt to comment! I just want to say that your lineart is just superb. I'm blown away by the background and the affect of it whizzing by makes me feel like I'm the one flying by. The amount of coloring detail on his outfit is outstanding.

Thank you very much for your comment. I understand, and I'm actually flattered by the delayed comment. For me, when I piece blows me away, I become speechless and don't know how to comment and feel it deserves more than just a simple "looks cool" or "awesome". I usually end up commenting a while later. Your belated comment has made my day!!
As for the background effect, I just used a "zoom" blurring effect -- the only credit I can take is for the patience I had to exert in fiddling with the settings and waiting each time for it to render. In terms of spiderman, himself, I am very proud of (and surprised at) how the painting of it turned out -- which incidentally took the least amount of time.
Thanks again for the comment!

It was a mixture of Painter X and Corel PhotoPaint X3, and of course pencil/paper for the original sketch.

This is MARVEL-ous! The drawing really seems to be moving!
I can't imagine how long it must've taken you to finish this. *faves*
Go go Spidey!

LOL. Corny, but good pun!! It took forever to finish. Spidey himself was quickly painted, but then I lost all momentum. Thank you for your comment and fav!

freaking AWESOME! the colouring's fantastic!! its bright and vibrant in the way that only digital can be, but its still got a slight raw, almost 'traditional' looking texture to it. Love it. The pose is awesome too 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you very much!!! I worked a long time on this, so I really appreciate the comment. Yes, the traditional look comes from using PainterX which can produce very realistic media effects. Spidey (minus the web lines) was painted as "oil" with a "medium bristle camel hair" brush. I really didn't know what I was doing, but the program made the textures look good.

Thanks. A wonderful compliment coming from an awesome artist such a yourself. Any critiques that will help me in my future works?
I remember you had suggested on my wip that city scapes are over-done, so I actually created two versions: this and one with a "daily bugle" newspaper background (per your advice to use a texture that is relevant to the friend I was making this for.) The other one is actually the one I'm getting printed for my friend. I had it up on dA but sadly, dA disallowed it as a print for copyright reasons. If you wish to see the result of your suggestion, I'll pull it out of storage.
(btw, did I mention already your new avatar is awesome!?)

Is wo(70X Os) a compliment? He, he, he. Juuust kidding. Always keep the great work Oshouki!
Yes, i waaant to see the other versions!! You may put it in your scraps if you don't want to submit it as a deviation to your main gallery. And yea, dA is strick about copyrights. They even removed one of my friend's deviations because of that.
LOL. My avatar's a product of my insanity.

I salute insanity, the path to awesomeness!!
Your avatar is probably THE BEST that I've seen anywhere (but then I don't get out much, so I may not be the best judge...

*whistles* Bravo, you really captured him. I'm a huge spidey-fan so thus I am highly critical. You did a really nice job though.

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful comment. Approval from true spidey fans make all those hours slaving in front of the computer worth while.

Here Try This: [link]
I Went through the site and read most of the reviews and Tutorials, it seems awfully sweet and real simple to use.
Coloring for me is such a chore and at times not fun at all, I guess because with PS, Ill, Corel and with others that I've tried it all seems so complicated.
Hopefully with this I can start to enjoy Coloring for the first time.

Thanks for the link. I will definitely try it out. Yeah, all those programs have a ridiculous learning curve. If I weren't using Corel at work, I wouldn't have the incentive to learn it. But having said that, once you know your way around these programs, they are capable of some amazing things (and sometimes amazingly frustrating things.) In addition to Corel Draw Suite, I've used/tried PainterX, a bit of PS, Gimp2, OpenCanvas and MangaStudio. They all have their strengths and weaknesses, but I've stuck with Corel just cause of familiarity. Gimp is free and relatively easy to use, but is a pig on computer resources. OpenCanvas and MangaStudio (both originally japanese?) are cool because you can rotate and work on your pictures just like with paper, to avoid unnatural arm motions or brush strokes.

Thanks. Hopefully the zoom effect on the background helps to create that jumping out illusion.

hhmm, what's the yellow thing in the background? kinda looks like the space needle in Seattle to me...

Thanks. Your previous comments and input had an influence on this outcome.
Its the CN tower in Toronto...the friend I drew this for lives in the Toronto area. Except the image is not entirely geographically accurate, as there is no such street where you can get that particular sight-line....but meh, artistic license and all.
