Prison Bitch - Promo #1
🕑 Added 2014-12-26 12:36:16 +0000 UTC While Tinkerbomb is still working on the colors, here's some panel preview of the intermediary shading phase. I personally find his work process very interesting. Most artists (that I work with) do it the other way around: They do the flat colors over the inks and then proceed to color shadings. The way Tinkers does it, however, makes a lot of sense too. Because (in my very limited view of arts) it seems like he is "sculpting" the art with the greyscale and shadows before going into colors. What do you think?

I know Skotti sometimes does it this way on her work for me, because it allows us to then tinker with the characters right up to the last second. Once you have the hair greyscaling sorted, for instance, you can create an overlying layer that you flood with different colors to see if she looks better as a blonde, brunette, redhead, bluenette, green hair, etc. Same with costume coloration if you love the design you've created but aren't too sure on the colors you've picked.

Thanks! I can see the headlines now: "Art secrets revealed by notorious smut peddler, news at 9"

Sure! I can do that… I'll post it later today =)

It'd be interesting to compare Rosita's cover evolution process to Tinkerbomb's creation of the prison bitch cover, although I suspect Tinkerbomb would have less stages due to the B/W shading

I agree completely. It's just that this is the first time I worked with an artist who worked like that.

Seems like it would give a better idea of what could be although both processes do this in different ways. To be honest it's probably a comfortable choice and/or easier to identify because of how the artist sees images. (Meaning either shadowing is more impactful on the psyche or they receive more meaning from the colors of an image).
