Casey Jones Draws the Devil and Some Cap vs Skull

Let me just say....Casey Jones is a fantastic and underrated artist.
I've been a fan of his work since way back when in his Excalibur days!

THE DEVIL IN BATTLE
ART~ CASEY JONES
INKS~ JAMES STONE

Here are my inks done digitally over Casey's great line work.
Done in Manga Studio EX 4.0

THE DEVIL IN BATTLE
BASIC COLORS

Again by me in Photoshop
a very early progression of the coloring process.

THE DEVIL IN BATTLE
~IN THE SPOTLIGHT~

This was also done in PS CS3
here I was able to add a sense of tension to the picture with just the addition of the spotlight. Turning it from, just a bad ass post-battle pic to a post battle on the run pic.

THE DEVIL IN BATTLE
~SPOTLIGHT BLUE~

And yet another attempt to add some mood to the pic.
Using blue light filters to spot light at a higher intensity.
I'm torn between which of these "final" versions to post.

Head to my Deviant Art Page to find out which I chose.
(if not all 3!)

The Latest

FANTASTIC FOUR ISSUE #42
CARLOS PACHECO
(my colors)


I found this little gem on the net. and as a huge fan of Carlos Pacheco I knew I'd want to throw some colors on it. Along with 50+ other images of his that I'd found.
This one was done in Photo Shop CS3.

NIGHTWING ON PATROL


This was a fun one to work on. It was initially meant to be a be a Youtube video, it didn't work out but I am very pleased with the way it turned out. It has the right feel and attitude to it.
This was done in Manga Studio EX4.0

LOGAN~ SNIKT!!!!!

This was my second attempt at at a Youtube video...it didn't record, I forgot to check it....anyway, this one was also a great one to work on. Lots of energy in this pic. The brushes available in Manga Studio are great.
Done in Manga Studio EX 4.0

BLACKEST NIGHT SUPERMAN!


This one was done at the silly idea of giving out free quick digital sketches... Like I'm not busy enough as it is. And my bud on Deviant art Rob Beltran requested this one. and I really like the way this one came out.
MANGA STUDIO EX 4.0

BATMAN VS DAREDEVIL
(inks-Manga Studio)


On my Deviant Art page they have an option of getting premium membership status. And what that means, for those who aren't in the know, is that you get more options and for a few months of that it's only $4 -$6 a pop and more for longer messages. And a awesome guy by the name of Robert Choats got me one for 3 months. And as a reward I did this little number up here.....

BATMAN VS DAREDEVIL
(colors-Photoshop CS30


Here are the finish colors for said piece. It was a tough one. But in the end the results I'm happy with. Rob, RC as I like to call him, prefers the work I do that is a bit more "animated" in style.

THE BAT THE NIGHT AND THE WONDER
(Inks-Manga Studio EX4.0)


I'm really, really happy with the way this one came out, and apparently it's popular amongst Deviant Art Patrons. It's quickly becoming the most collected, with in less than a week.
And when it comes to popular the Batman and Nightwing along with Robin, you can't go wrong.
Manga Studio EX 4.0

THE BAT THE NIGHT AND THE WONDER
(Colors-Photoshop CS3)

So as soon as my bud Robert Beltran saw this he screamed for a highres copy and with in a day he had the colors to this pic. I think he did a bang up job! Cheer for that!

QUART OF BLOOD TECHNIQUE BY VINCENT PIZARRO
(Robert Choats and Me)


So as a contest was held by my good bud Vincent Pizarro, and the idea was to take some lyrics he wrote and make a visual representation of it. So my friend Rob Choat (him again) had asked me to color it in. I agreed whole emphatically, cause I think I forgot about it. Needless to say that everyone like it. Hope you like it
Lines done by- Robert Choat/Colors done in Photoshop CS3

ENTER SANDMAN
(Me n Beltran)

So this pic was done in my sketch book, sorta as just an exercise to mix up my line work.
And again my friend Rob Beltran, wanted to jump at the chance to color it. And I was more than happy to oblige him. This came back a day or two later and, It's a huge file! The colors were inspired by the original color stylings of the book.
Much thanks to the guys!
