Grant's Art Thread

[Grant Perkins]

Not much going on in the world today so I thought I'd turn my hand to an X-Men pin-up.

Any and all feedback welcome.

Hey, I really like that piece.

[Eliseu Gouveia]

Coolness, can´t wait to see it inked :)

[howyadoin]

That'd make a great poster.

[Jaye]

Excellent work!

[xakko]

that's pretty darn awesome... great job.

[twilight]

I love it!

Nightcrawler looks great.

[Dos]

I like the style, BAMF smoke was hawt looking... Personally I need to see the BAMF to know it makes a sound.


and then i thought..

If nightcrawler BAMF's in the woods, and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?

[Grant Perkins]

Thanks for all the kind words guys.

[howyadoin]

Thanks for all the kind words guys.I just took a quick look at your website. Lotsa cool stuff there, too.

[Solaris]

That's a great piece! I'd love to see an inked version... I think it would greatly enhance the piece, having the starker contrast you get with inking.

[Crash-Man]

I like that artwork a lot.

[Nikita]

One word: Cool.

[Grant Perkins]

Thanks alot guys.

[Grant Perkins]

...I hope you survive the experience!

More pin-up fun with the X-Men.

Wow, that is SUPER fun! I love it!

My one critique is...what is with the big, black shape on the left hand side of the page?

[Grant Perkins]

Thanks Man.

That big black shape is Xaviers Profile.

[Gumbo Maximillian]

Pretty good though the back ground lacks detail.

[elheffe]

Pretty good though the back ground lacks detail.
I disagree. Why clutter up a great looking page with backgrounds?

[Gumbo Maximillian]

I disagree. Why clutter up a great looking page with backgrounds?


To me its lacking, it needs something, its too empty.

Some lines indicating walls, trees far off in the distance, something even if its just minimal.

Oh dear God! How did I miss that?!

That makes it even cooler. I can't believe I didn't see that before. You even placed the Sentinel's eye perfectly. Great!

[Grant Perkins]

Commissioned peice. Oil on canvas. Sorry about the shine.

Any and all feedback welcome.

I envy you. Getting kids to look like kids is something I never got the hang of.

Awesomeness!

[Thug Comics]

Your website is cool too.

[the_speedball]

I love it. There's a real dynamic sense about it. I hope you get it colored at some point!

[Grant Perkins]

Thanks guys.

[Grant Perkins]

Hey Guys.

Just a quick charactor design. (http://thegrantperkins.blogspot.com/2010/09/ninja-gnome.html)

[Thug Comics]

I like it.

[Grant Perkins]

Thank you good Sir.

[LewMoxinsghost]

Not sure what the thing on the left side (that hangs down) on the standing pose is, but looks like a fun design. I prefer the vest look more than the shirtless version.

[StudentBoySpunge]

nice drwings I really like the style...didn't think to see the x-men in a fun style like that its a thumbs up here

[Grant Perkins]

Hey.

Thanks for merging all of these old threads into one big one for me.

Speaking of Big.

Hey Guys and Gals.

Here's one I'm really proud of.

Just finished up this page for a series called Island Tales.

Colours for this peice were done by the multitalented and very lovely Eva Perkins.

That'd make a sweet t-shirt design.

[Grant Perkins]

I'd wear it!

[Grant Perkins]

Hey guys.

Here's a quick sneaky peak at a sequential that I just finished up for writer Aaron Walther. Muscles and Mullets will be featuring in an issue of DWP 2.0 early next year. Keep an eye out for it as Mr. Jamie Roberts will once again be the Will Smith to my Jeffrey Townes.

I really love the sense of depth in this brought out by the colors; it is almost like this is construction paper collage and I mean that in a really good way. And again your composition is really spot on. I realize it is a few months old, but it is the first time I've seen it. Nice work!

[Grant Perkins]

Thank you.

But I'm being litterally prodded to fess up that the colours on that peice were done by my wife. Talented little minx that she is.

Hey Guys.

I asked a question through my Twitter account recently about what everyone's favourite movie scenes were, one that I wasn't expecting, but is a very important scence (or collection of scenes) is when Luke first meets Yoda.

Now although Star Wars fans will forever seen the little green fellow as Jedi Master and all around ass kicker, to me, he will always be Fozzy Bear in an elf suit.

Still, it was a great scence and one that I felt I had to revisit.

Painted I have, Yes. (http://thegrantperkins.blogspot.com/2011/02/painted-i-have-yes.html)

This peice is 7 by 9 cms and is painted with oil paint on canvas using a toothpick. If anyone is interested it it avalible for the very reasonable price of £50.

So what's your favourite movie scene?

[Grant Perkins]

Hey Guys.

I've been listening to Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers, as read by Chris Barrie while walking to and from work recently. As a huge fan of Red Dwarf I'm throughly enjoying it. Chris naturally has Rimmers voice down pat and his Lister is enjoyable. His Cat is just downright aweful though. Sorry Chris, Nobody wails like Danny John-Jules.

Anyhow, with RD being such a big part of my day I felt it a great topic for a sketch.

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SsPVRs7aXN4/TW1WLfH1RTI/AAAAAAAAAM8/ekxWVDwqo2U/s1600/Lister.jpg

Is there anyone out there working on a RD comic book? Why the hell not? I'd be more than happy to write and draw the thing. It would be a great way of telling "Series 9".

Who's with me?

Any and all feedback welcomed.
