Darkstalkers Tribute Poster

operator x — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 05:39:56 +0000

Looks like we’re finally allowed to show these.

This was my take on the Darkstalkers poster. I wanted to show all the characters so I tried thinking of some unique ways to do that and I always kept coming back to this idea.

This also was a great excuse to draw Morrigan twice, from the front and the “behind”:). I also thought it would be neat to have a painterly style in her “real” world, then anime cuts in the “cartoon” world of gaming.

This was done in tight pencils, then colored in Painter and Photoshop.

I will be selling prints of these at SDCC as well.

I will eventually post my rough-final process, so stay tuned:)!

Yes! DARKSTALKERS RETURNS!!

As you can see, I am really excited to share with you that Darkstalkers is making a return. Udon has finally announced what I have known for many months now and have agonizingly had to keep to myself.

On top of that, I was asked to pencil the 3 issue mini-series! I am completely beside myself as I am a MASSIVE fan of the Darkstalker universe.

More information from Udon available here -

Anyways, I know posting here has taken a back seat, but I hope to rectify that in the next coming months.

Stay tuned!!

Darkstalkers 1 pg 7

Wow, I really slack at posting here. I should make an addition to my growing list of New Years resolutions to “Post on blog!”.

Anyways, as I did with my Final Fight pages, I wanted to post the rough to final work as I find that the most interesting part of the process.

Looking back at these, I notice how some of the rough art might have worked better then the final I had done, but that’s always how it goes. I think I would have fixed Morrigans pose a little and also reduced her enormous breasts in that first panel;).

The second last panel I could have made her neck not as long but I didn’t really notice it until I saw the colors. Oh well.

Generally, I’m pleased with the page, but I think I did a much better job overall on issue 2. When the book is finally out, I’ll post probably all the pages here with a few at Deviantart to lure people here!

Anyways, thanks for hanging around here and I just added “Post on Blog!” to my New Years list.

Cheers!

Darkstalkers 1 pg 8

So in keeping with my earlier posts, here is Darkstalkers page 8!

I really like how this page turned out. The thumbnail went pretty quick too.

The rough took no time to lay in as well since there wasn’t really any complicated characters or action shots to figure out.

I enjoyed working on this page and really spent some time on the backgrounds.

Anyways, hope you like it and more pages are around the corner!

Cheers,

Eric

Darkstalkers 1 pg 13

So here’s the first time you see Dimitri and Pyron. I hadn’t drawn Dimitri before so he took a few goes before looking somewhat decent. That face of his gives me a challenge every time. The rough was fairly straightforward and I liked having the chance to draw Morrigan again;).

I eventually decided to reuse the same pose as the Morrigan from page 7 as it seemed to make more sense. I do feel like I drew this one better though… anyways, every page is a new adventure.

I think I have 1 more page that I’ll post up from this issue. When issue 2 is released, I’ll make sure to post those pages as well.

cheers!

Darkstalkers 1 pg 10

As the book was released on Wednesday, I’m able to start showing more of the penciled pages. I’ll just pick some of my favorites instead of boring you with all of them.

This page was tricky. The script asked for a bunch of action shots with Anakaris attacking a Huitzil. As you can see by my roughs here, I struggled to find an appropriate layout.

3rd times a charm as I finally found a layout that worked, but had to cut a panel to make it happen. I’m not going to bother posting the thumbnails to this page as it was mostly just barely legible scribbles..

Here’s the final -

Anyways, I’ll be posting more soon!
