Unwanted Valentines: Jason Voorhees

Unwanted Valentines:
Jason Voorhees


This time, it's a Valentine from Jason Voorhees from the "Friday the 13th" franchise.  Most of the "Friday the 13th" movies are in the "let's get naked and split up" vein of the killing teenagers genre.  They were OK when I watched them growing up, although I am probably one of the few that thinks "Jason X" (ie. "Jason in Space") is probably the best of the bunch.  Not that it is saying much, of course, but I am always a sucker for self-reference and meta-humor.

I debated doing the "We're a Machete Made in Heaven" as "We're a MATCH-ete Made in Heaven", but thought the misspelling would be more confusing.  Saying puns is one thing; spelling pun is something else entirely.  Oh, well.

STEP ONE:  Here are the digital pencils, done on a 1,500px x 2,100px at 300dpi.  I used a blue-line layer in Clip Studio Paint to quickly scribble the image.

STEP TWO The digital inks were also done in Clip Studio Paint over top the digital pencils.

STEP THREE:  The coloring was done in Clip Studio Paint on a Normal Layer below the inked layer.  As much as I like using Clip Studio Paint for everything, it turns out (unsurprisingly) the .jpg engine works much, much better in Photoshop.  So, I imported the project into Photoshop, the canvas was re-sized to 200dpi (which dropped the size down to 1,000px x 1,400px) and saved each layer as a separate .jpg.
