What’s the first thing you do when starting a superhero painting?
Whenever I do a superhero painting I will try to find a model photo that I think fits that superhero in looks as well as the pose. I can’t afford to hire a model and none of my friends or family have a
superhero look. I then draw the photo on the canvas and put the model in their superhero costume.

What materials do you use?

In the first stage of the painting I use acrylic paint and just put on
flat colors so I can see where everything is.

In the next step I put on the oil paint starting with the background, that will give me an idea of how deep the colors will be on the figure. Last I work on the hero by first getting in the dark tones and then working in the mid tones and the light areas.

Thanks for the quick rundown!
(And letting me showcase your awesome work.)

Halloween Zatanna by Dean Juliette

admin — Fri, 15 Oct 2010 13:01:49 +0000

Another Halloween artwork by featured artist Dean Juliette. This piece is also on eBay so it’s a great opportunity to own a piece of original art. It’s a fantastic piece although I prefer the more cutesy Zatanna playing with cards and bunny rabbits rather than with skulls. “Yppah neewollah”

Featured artist Di Amorim has some great eBay Auctions currently on offer! If you like any of the below, click on the picture. Remember it’s difficult to find good original artwork. Of the three showcased in this post, the sexy X-Man Rogue has to be my favourite!

Slave Leia by Dean Juliette

admin — Wed, 29 Sep 2010 23:55:49 +0000

Featured artist Dean Juliette has an amazing Slave Leia available through an eBay Auction. Slave Leia has to be one of the most recognisable forms of fan service. I wonder if George Lucas was thinking how can I get Carrie Fisher in a bikini for the last part of the Star Wars trilogy. There was also the famous scene in Friends, when Rachel dresses up as Slave Leia to fulfil Ross’s fantasy!

Slave Leia :

Slave Leia is easily one of the most popular COSPLAY choices. You’ll definitely see at least one person dressed up at a convention. Anyway if you like the sketch, be sure to bid high and bid often! It’s an amazing piece of original art.

iPhone Wallpaper – Phoenix – David Enciso

I’ve posted a few iPhone Wallpapers including Zatanna by Dean Juliette and Supergirl by Cedric Poulat. From an image by Phoenix by David Enciso, I like how the dark colours and flames of sit as the wallpaper.

Elektra – Zatanna – Rogue – Huntress – Marvel DC Women by James Nguyen

admin — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 13:01:21 +0000

It’s been a while since I last caught up with featured artist James Nguyen. He was nice enough to allow me to showcase a couple of his pin-ups of some hot women from both Marvel and DC. I definitely like the Elektra pose best, although Zatanna (in terms of look) is my favourite DC character.

So James . . what have you been up to since the interview?

I’ve continued to attend comic book conventions and continued meeting new and exciting creators on their way to the top. I started doing artwork for a role playing game company and that’s been satisfying to see my artwork in print. I recently finished up a zombie anthology called FUBAR with a bunch of very talented indy creators. It will be offered in the September Preview so please check it out and order one (order code: SEP100743). I’m currently working on a book about a vigilante called Absolution with the frontmen of the band Showbread. Its good to get back to drawing sequential art. Its challenging and rewarding at the same time.

When is Absolution slated for release?

Absolution (although we may have to change the title because of the Avatar Press comic). We’re hoping issues will be available on their website by November/December.

That’s excellent! I’ll be sure to be on the lookout later in the year. Anything else in the pipeline?

I’ve also been mentioned in DJ Coffman’s eBook coming out Septmeber 30th called CASH FOR CARTOONIST.

Thanks again for your time and sending through the pin-ups!

So Di, how long have you been drawing for?

I’ve been drawing comics professionally since 2000.

How would you describe your artwork?

My artistic style is still developing. I still don’t have an own style yet but I am getting closer. It’s a little difficult being self taught but I have received fantastic advice from the great Ed Benes.

Ed Benes is remarkable!
Who else are your inspiration?

Jim Lee, Frank Miller, George Perez, Jose Garcia Lopez, Mike Mignola, Dave Mazzucchely, Silvestri, Capullo, Joe Kubert and many others.

Any published works out there?

For several years I was the regular designer of the lady death, Pandora vs Hellina, Jungle Fantasy, Belladonna and Unholy working with Avatarpress. I’ve also done work Chaos Comics and others.

Wow that’s an amazing list of titles you have worked on. Any special project you are working on at the moment?

I have a character in development – “Call: Aby – Sex and Murder” for the the publisher quadrixeditora. Check out the link for more details.

Thanks for your time!
Can’t wait to see more of your work and good luck with the auctions.
