CELESTIALS - Eson the Searcher
Here is the entry in the Marvel Handbook.
* * * * *
I really like the visual of Eson the Searcher--the helmet he wears looks like he has six eyes. I'm not so sure about his color scheme of brick red and lime-green, through. :-)

STEP ONE: I
pencilled the image on a 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" piece of cardstock with a .5mm
mechanical pencil with 2B lead.
* * * * *
STEP TWO:
The inks are done with a .3mm Copic Marker for the outlines, with a
brush and ink to add a little more line weight. I then scanned it into
Photoshop and cleaned the line work up a bit.
* * * * *
STEP THREE: Once cleaned up in Photoshop, I copied the layer and set it to MULTIPLY to color it.
* * * * *
This was done with pen-and-ink on 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" cardstock and colored in Photoshop.

Great job on all of these Celestials. Really outstanding and sharp looking. They look like they could have on the day they were first printed!
ReplyDeleteHey Paul, :-)
DeleteTHANKS for the kind words! They are MUCH appreciated!
Personally, my Celestial drawings are a little more "cartoony" than I intended, as I thought they were going to be reprinted a lot smaller on the site and most detail would be lost.
I'm sure I will come back to doing something with the Celestials again; they are such incredibly cool characters and hold a strong pull in my imagination.
