Thnx tigertail777!!! Yeah... guess my inner art-muse has some things still to say about "pulp" and "Tiki". Working title "Mystery Woman" I got a handful of elements I like. The looming masked She-Bat character. The classic car. The zombie holding the tropical drink. The swanky Tiki Bar. Sunset with palm tree. Noir Honolulu. Giant moon ... now how to tie them all together to make a visual story. Color of course will be big. I got to work out light sources. Maybe flying bats flitting from one element to another? A ring of skulls or thugs or Tiki-phantoms lurking in the city shadows? mmmm.... first get to basics and map out the big shapes and make sure the comp really flows OK. This is a special project I'm doing for a friend who has a comic book about the character She-Bat, and this is part of I think the big special pin up / splash pages anniversary edition of his book. Take a look at his work and her history here: http://www.studiogart.net/shebat/index.html [ Edited by: Tiki Shark Art 2012-07-25 02:38 ]
