Shadowgrail since you mentioned about the old black and white monster movies thought I would take your guy here into Photoshop and go black and white and mess with the curves and see what happens, here is the link

He looks so sad; I would give him a hug, but something tells me I'll be missing my spine if I got too close.


I'll give him a cookie instead. :3

Dude I wanna tell you how awsome that is. Solomon Grundy was always a favorite villian of mine. Especially since he was the rarest "zombie" villian. He could always have a nice fight with Superman. Very old school feel to him. Even the face if the face is alittle apey lol. totally wicked dude.

Solomon has never really gotten his due in the books as far as I am concerned. He could be so much more.

Nice work!

Perhaps a couple of 'olde timey film scratches' might really enhance the b-horror look of this, but still, overall it's a great piece and nice choice of palette. I love the barely visible background, very eerie, and, as someone's already mentioned, the hands look fab.

Shadowgrail In reply to ARIrish2 [2008-07-20 23:22:23 +0000 UTC]

Thanks ! yes.. I was considering the film scratches.. perhaps I'll add it on to my print for my portfolio.

I just wasn't sure if I should add it or not for this one.

ARIrish2 In reply to Shadowgrail [2008-07-20 23:30:08 +0000 UTC]

It depends on how far you want to push the look really. It still looks great without them - you could always try adding them, and if you don't like it, get rid, and you'll still have the regular version.
