From first doodle to inked piece. You can see some details changed, like their position, Nate's ornament and hair and especially Joey's face. Believe it or not but Matthew and I got inspired by Bugs Bunny cartoons. ^^ For Nate's fierce and grumpy look I thought about Ronon Dex from the TV Show Stargate Atlantis. Did you know he's gonna play Conan the Barbarian ? Yum yum !
I enjoyed doing the background, especially the colors even though I've never been in Australia. I used to have some good online friends there though. Actually, I've been inspired by a recent short trip I did, that allowed me to see some different landscapes while the sun wasn't very high in the sky. My boy was driving and I was mentally taking notes of what I was seeing, and how the light affected the hills. ^^
Oh wow, I have so many Nate images to post on my blog, but when I see this great write up, the need to post it is less, I feel more like linking to your blog instead! LOL. I love watching the little creation gifs take form.
RépondreSupprimerI did not know that about Conan. I can't wait!
Nate sadly has become a bit of a dead end character for me. In that it is hard to think of single images for him. I would need to do a comic commission to really have fun with him. His motivations and actions in my mind feel too complicated to fit into one shots. XD
