Yuma

Photobucket

so so so
another fanart including rising star, Mr Kevin Durand who you should look after, because this guy is having now the best time in Hollywood :)

for a while I wanted to make some fanart dedicated to one of my fav western movie, "3:10 to Yuma" which is an remake of same movie from 1957, but I failed epically every time I tried to make one :>

so finally I can introduce you two, out of three, sidekicks:
Charlie Prince portrayed by talented Ben Foster who stole the show to old dogs, Christian Bale and Russell Crowe
and
Tucker portrayed by Kevin Durand who had his moment in this movie which captured my attention to him back in 2007 when I first saw this movie in cinema :) lovely voice! I'd set it in my mobile-phone if I could :>

third character that I wanted to portray is Doc Potter portrayed by hilarious Alan Tudyk, but I couldn't find decent photo reference, nor do I couldn't make one ;___;


about this piece:
first I draw it on a A4, which in the end was too small for all those detail I wanted to put in, so after scanning it with my crappy scanner, I re-painted it in CS3
I wanted to make it full color but in the end I thought that gray scale + some color will give me a better effect.. so I took red, color of Tuckers vest + I used it to color shadows.. dunno why, but again I thought that it will be cool :>

reference photos came from facebook + personal screencaps :> some photoshop brushes from adonihs - whole took me.. hmm.. 4 hours?

XMenOrigins: Blob

Photobucket

Can't get enough of Kevind Durand and his awesomness :D
This time I present you Fred Dukes a.k.a. Blob

It was quite a challenge to draw him, because I've never draw someone soo.. erm.. big :> I draw hot guys and chicks, not ... this...
But it was fun and pain at the same time and a little bit of real satisfaction when I finally finished it. The reasons why I even started to draw this portrait are:
  1. I'm a fan of Kevin's works
  2. everyone else draw Wolverine, Wade Wilson, Victor Creed and the rest of hot guys and no-one showed, as far I know, some love for the big guy ;(
  3. I watched this - in one scene KD is doing kinda flirty look that killed me and I couldn't stop laughing :D I just had to draw it! :D :D Besides you should watch all of those 'featurettes' to apreciate actors, creators, makeup artists works, and guys, they really put much effort to bring to life our fave characters :)
Back to this piece, I wanted to combine the super-realistic portrait of Blob (based on a really poor screenshot) with the little figure of "war Blob" (according to creators words) drawed in more sketchy/american comic style but keeping KD likeness.

Ok, ok, so I skipped the hands :> you can sue me for that ;P
Sadly, the original drawing looks much more better - my scanner apparently hates me :(

finally after long ages... no wait... only few months... or maybe whole year? dunno
but there was few wips of this piece.. I wanted to color it in PS but I failed at it: III, II, I - so I decided to color it with pencils.. in the end I added stars in CS3

personal note:
I think that mixing traditional drawing with a little bit of PS7 [or any other program] is not a bad idea since the most important thing is the final result, and I can say that this piece is in 95% same as I can see it in my head
