Art Thread: Petersen Artwork (and Mouse Guard Thread)

[Petersen]

Before heading out to Motor City Con, I did 2 more paintings (One of these I posted, but don't know how many folks saw it before the 'upgrade').....

well, I guess I won't. The normal size pic I pst here is 3x too large according to the new attachment browser.

Hope to have them both on my site soon, will link to them then

You could also use superdownloads.net for the interim:

http://photoshop.superdownloads.net/

Max size 100kb. And you have to give your files very unique names or they could get swapped with other images. It's also not a durable host over time (I think they purge every now and again) but it's a good temporary host.

[Alchemy]

NICE art! *very jealous* I love the Daoine Sidh piece.

[Elegance Liberty]

.... Why must you be so good at this stuff?

Love it! Can't wait to see more.

[Alchemy]

Again, wow! I love them both!

[Maija]

The Abe one really works well because that style is so aquatic to begin with. But I like Anung un Rama too.

[E. Spears]

wonderful artwork, peterson. in particular, i love the roger painting. are you going to do any other paintings in this style, but of characters outside the hellboy-verse? that would be cool to see.

-Robert-

[Petersen]

Sure! Already have some on my website..look for Watchmen & Marvel Characters. I hope to do more non-HB soon

Why is my dot green and everyone elses is gray! Oh, and thanx for reposting the art.

[Alchemy]

Why is my dot green and everyone elses is gray! Oh, and thanx for reposting the art.

I think it has to do with who is online right now?

And now its red! AAARRRGGGHHHAAWWWAAA!!!!!

Glad you and T (and future Mrs. T)had a chance to meet.
They were charging $20 to see RonBoy? WHAt???

[Maija]

And now its red! AAARRRGGGHHHAAWWWAAA!!!!!That means you're invisible now, Casper.Glad you and T (and future Mrs. T)had a chance to meet.
They were charging $20 to see RonBoy? WHAt???

That is rather unfortunate. I've never been to a con but I gather this isn't the norm?

[JohnThompson]

Great stuff as always, David! I hope you don't mind my using your Thing art as my avatar.... just holla if you do and I'll remove it!

[Elegance Liberty]

That means you're invisible now, Casper.
That is rather unfortunate. I've never been to a con but I gather this isn't the norm?
I've only been to anime and manga cons, and I know they don't charge anything to see the guests.

... Then again, I didn't get to see TM Revolution last year, so I dunno if they charged for autographs. But the concert he put on was rather nice, and I'm not even into J-pop/rock at all. :)

[Otto66]

That means you're invisible now, Casper.
Nice. Do me a favor? Take yer right hand and put it on yer left shoulder, then put yer left hand on yer right shoulder. Shake yer self back and forth and side to side. Thanx, saves me from having to travel to Calgary to give ya a good shake.

That is rather unfortunate. I've never been to a con but I gather this isn't the norm? Don't think he was charge'n $20 an autograph before the movie came out.

Enough high-jinks. Off to bed. :p

[Anakin]

They were charging? To let people just see Ron!? That's disgusting! I've been doing cons for eight years now, I've never heard of anything like that.

Tho I've never been to a Star Trek con, I've heard they're just excuses for vendors to make a killing. Maby it's different outside the completely fan-run cons?

[Otto66]

I've only been to anime and manga cons, and I know they don't charge anything to see the guests.

EL? Do you wear a costume when go to
the cons? Any pics?

[JohnThompson]

EL? Do you wear a costume when go to
the cons? Any pics?
Yeah, EL, any Sailor Moon costume pics?

ONLY if you're of legal age, of course! :D

[Petersen]

Great stuff as always, David! I hope you don't mind my using your Thing art as my avatar.... just holla if you do and I'll remove it!
Love that you want to use it. However, if you want me to sign it, I will now be charging $20 :)

[Maija]

Nice. Do me a favor? Take yer right hand and put it on yer left shoulder, then put yer left hand on yer right shoulder. Shake yer self back and forth and side to side. Thanx, saves me from having to travel to Calgary to give ya a good shake.

There's no need for remotely-directed, self-inflicted physical violence, my friend. From your frustrated howl in the post I was replying to, it seemed that you were in distress and I was merely politely trying to assist. And Casper is a friendly ghost. I wasn't being insulting. Yeesh... sensitive! :rolleyes:

And as noted, I have no con experience, but the $20 for an autograph did strike me as a wee bit crass. I don't go in much for autographs (except on big fat checks endorsed to me) but if I buy an artist's work or an author's book or generally show appreciation and admiration for someone by requesting an autograph, I would hope they would confirm my reasons for admiration by having the grace to do it for free. I can sort of understand doing it to keep the crowds down, but overall it seems weird.

And dammit, now Petersen's charging for autographs too!!

When did you forget where you came from, Petersen? You used to be so cool, man. I remember when you were a nice, down-to-earth guy, but if you're going to play that way, then you're paparazzi fodder now, bub-- I'm going to be telling ALL the embarassing anecdotes to the highest bidding tabloid. How do you like your celebrity status now huh? HUH? ;)

[Petersen]

ruta, please please don't tell them about..you know what

Ok, ok..how 'bout this, I only charge $20 for signings to folks who have ever used the words scifi or rex in thier handles? ;)

I don't mind celebs charging a bit, I mean they do take time out and fly and have to stay at a hotel and deal with scads of mindless fools (When someone was sitting in for Ron durring a break someone near me said, in a very serois tone, "that's not Ron Pearlman" REALLY? did the fact that the guy is 120lbs of asian geek tip you off?) $20 for a sig seems high though. Some cons ahve you pay for a ticket to be able to get into the signing area, but then that is all.

had I not be worried about our aged sick doggie and remembered to hit an ATM I might have gotten a sig or waited for a Julie sig for Otto.

-Petersen

[Otto66]

David? I'm still not straight on this. Was it $20 for a RonBoy
signature or was it costing $20 to get into the signing area
for all of the guests?
As for Julie Benz? There will be other cons. ;)

[Petersen]

Otto: $20 was for a ticket to get Ron's signature. Getting into the area was free, other celebs had various pricing, but as I had no cash on me (stupid, stupid, stupid) I didn't bother to see thier pricing.

-Petersen

[JohnThompson]

Ok, ok..how 'bout this, I only charge $20 for signings to folks who have ever used the words scifi or rex in thier handles?
I'll pay, as long as you can fork over the $40 I charge to represent your work through my avatar. ;)

[Petersen]

I'll pay, as long as you can fork over the $40 I charge to represent your work through my avatar. ;)
aw crap!

let's call it even

[fitzroy]

Hey Petersen, loving your art. if you ever want to trade a piece let me know.
Cheers

Fitz,
What is your web adress again? I wanna see what's up for grabs ;)

www.freeantz.com

[kid cthulhu]

Petersen, I may just be interested in purchasing a piece of work from you.

Do they range quite a bit in pricing, or is there some kind of ballpark figure you ask for them?

[Petersen]

I'll PM ya

[chrono1984]

love the paintings so very much! :eek:

[Ken O]

Peterson, about what I said at Motor City?

I mean what I said, and I said what I meant, a Tequilawyrm's faithful one hundred percent!

[Petersen]

Peterson, about what I said at Motor City?

I mean what I said, and I said what I meant, a Tequilawyrm's faithful one hundred percent!

I trust ya T! I started drawing a better version, but before I laid paint to paper, all this stuff came up with our doggie getting sick. So provided I won't be at the vet putting her down tomorrow, I may try and paint to not focus on the sad.

-Petersen

[Ken O]

Oh man, I'm sorry to hear about the doggie. I'll be wishing for the best.



Edit: ha ha ha ha. We all got "new member"s and here I wasn't even finished playing with my old one. :D

[Maija]

Oh NO! Petersen, that's terrible.

Thoughts with your family and Bailey.

[jnapper]

Me too-- thinking good thoughts/prayers for you and your doggie, P.

[Petersen]

Baba Yaga-revised

[Petersen]

and a skull

-Petersen

[Otto66]

Great new additions. Thanx.

Hope Bailey is better.

[Hells Orc]

Why didn’t I get this kind of encouraging feedback for my work? *huffs*

Other then the fact I’m not at all artistically talented…least in comparison to this work. I like it all a lot, just wish I got this kind of feedback instead of the ‘look what you did wrong!” feedback :(

[Petersen]

Otto: Thanks..we are still waiting to hear on some tests, unless her body rights itself soon, we are going to have to put her down :(

Hells Orc: Don't recall seeing your stuff. And trust me, I got PLENTY of 'you did this wrong' for YEARS. Don't take it personaly, just take it and work with it.

-Petersen: working on T's Liz seince Bailey is at work with Momma

[Otto66]

My pup is having her own problems, so I can sympathize.
Hope for the best.

[Ken O]

Well, I'll keep fingers crossed for all the sick pups. Saw a baby mangrove monitor when I was up in Detroit. Almost bought it. It was so cute.

Workin on my Liz? I'm all giddy with antcipation. :D

[Maija]

I like your skullz--er-skillz. No-- skullz. I like the formal arrangement of the Baba Yaga painting.

Wishing the best for Bailey.

[Petersen]

Workin on my Liz? I'm all giddy with antcipation. :D
Anticipate no more

and to all with well wishes, thank you, they go a long way. Hard to think about much else right now.

-Petersen

[Maija]

[as the chorus of three-eyed Martian squeaky toys from "Toy Story"]: ooooOOOOOOoooooooo!

That's up there with Screw-On Head. :)

[Ken O]

Holy crap, I just screamed like the cheerleaders I keep locked up in my trunk! Thats beautiful. :D

[Otto66]

Nice. Is this based on the future Mrs. T-Wyrm? :evilsmile

[JohnThompson]

David, I love the Baba Yaga, but where are the jubblies?:( I miss the jubblies....

The skull is beautiful. How big are you making these?

[Anakin]

Is a nice Goth Liz piece but she almost looks like HB with the Crown of Fire...

[Petersen]

T: squeel away friend, squeel away. She's all yours.

O: Didn't plan it that way, but as I was finishing, I thought "Hey, it kinda looks like T's Rachel"

J: you can see the darker section where they seperate, but I thought having them over the lip of the pestile would be obscene..'my cup runnith over'
Most are 4" x 11" on the left over paper from myy wedding invitations. Baba was smaller, but with the skull lanterns is 11" tall, and the 1st hellboy I did is smaller too, which is why I did the single scull, so that the new owner of that piece can make it match the abe they bought as well.

A: When doing a piece for NickW I did the single flame over her head and liked it. There is biblical refernece for that meaning anointed with the spirit. In this case 'the spirit' being her power, both blessing & curse.

[Johann]

Holy shnikies your work is awsome what in the hell do you use??? These are just magnificent, thats gotta be a technique of you own, right? if not, its new to me.

[Hells Orc]

Hells Orc: Don't recall seeing your stuff. And trust me, I got PLENTY of 'you did this wrong' for YEARS. Don't take it personaly, just take it and work with it.



Yea, I try NOT to but…well I’ve never been too good at not taking things personally. I usually get pretty good feedback for my works, I guess Hellboy fans are a bit harder to please. I’m not used to stuff of this media anyway so…but I was wondering, would to be all right if I asked you for a couple of tips? I know some artists don’t like revealing much of their technique, so I thought I’d ask before bothering you with a bunch of nosy questions.

[Petersen]

I'll answer. PM me

[Jelly Meets Jam]

Great stuff as allwasy man keep it up.

[Petersen]

Got a photo from a friend of mine who had a table at Motor City:

Got a photo from a friend of mine who had a table at Motor City:
From Left to Right: Lady Jay(Rachel,T's Fiance), Wild Bill(Tequilawyrm), and Geek (Petersen)Nice Shirts, P.

[Ken O]

Woo hoo! Pictures. Need to finish up my roll so I can get mine developed.

[Otto66]

Rachel! Hot as ever. Any shots of just Rachel? :evilsmile

Looking at the pic, I can just see the spot were my mug
would have been. Sometimes my life sucks.

Great pic, D. Thanks for sharing.

[Maija]

HAHA! That's awesome. I want to run around in a public place with a cowboy hat on and a gun!! (In fact, if Otto DOES win the lotto, and assuming he doesn't decide to exclude ME, I want all of us to go for a round of paintball. Muahahahahahaha...)

And I like the shirt, Petersen. Did you screen that yourself? (The RHOD T, obviously, not the Magnum P.I. jobby ;) )

[Petersen]

The RHoD shirt was a PC printed iron-on, which has deteriorated terribly after only a few washes.

The Hawiian shirt is awesome. and it was a gift from my wife.

[Ken O]

Pictures of just Rachel? Of course I do, after all she keeps yelling at me for taking pictures of her butt when she walks in front of me. Don't ask, she'd literally kill me if I posted one of them.

Since we're showing off my hat and guns, here is the figure it's based on.

http://www.boomspeed.com/tequilawyrm/wbill1.jpg

[rhboyd]

David - - you friggin' ROCK, brother.... beautiful stuff! I LOVE the Liz painting... just love it.

I send you strength and good wishes for your pet... it's never easy is it... and yet... so worth the rewards that the shared life can bring.

My thoughts are with you...

-r!

[Maija]

The Hawiian shirt is awesome. and it was a gift from my wife.

I didn't say it wasn't awesome. But I like to imagine that you and your pal who runs a tiki bar in Detroit and your other pal who has his own helicopter charter business solve crimes when you're not making art. Then you drive back in your borrowed Ferrari to the estate where you and your wife live in the guest house (to the annoyance of the estate's caretaker) and you make art. And when you make art, you have an inner monolgue that always begins: "Now I know what you're thinking..." ;)

T-Wyrm What did you do to get your own action figure!! :eek: ;)

[Otto66]

In fact, if Otto DOES win the lotto, and assuming he doesn't decide to exclude ME

Hmmm... hmmm... hmmm... lalala. :evilsmile

Don't be silly. After all, think of how much fun all of
us would have playing Monkey, Monkey, Monkey, Punch.

[Petersen]

I'm sad to say that tonight we took Bailey to be put to sleep.
We are having a pretty rough time with it all.
Please help us honor her memory and read (or re-read) her book (http://www.materialsunlimited.com/petersen/illustration/bb/bb1.htm)

-David

[Tad]

Very sweet book. My condolences on Bailey's passing.

[JohnThompson]

David, I'm sorry for your loss. The book is a wonderful tribute to a much loved friend.

[Ken O]

I'm sorry to hear about Bailey. The book is incredibly done, thanks for sharing it with all of us.

[Hellsaint]

Im really glad i could to read her book, its beautiful...
My condolences to Bailey

[Otto66]

David? I am very sad for your loss.

[petriacce]

David,

I'm sorry to hear about Bailey's passing. My condolences.

The book is wonderful. Thank you for sharing.

[Petersen]

Know how much you enjoy Miller's Sin City...
Thought this style might work well with it...I'm happy with it.

-Petersen
trying not to think about dogs

[Ken O]

Nice job on the big guy!

[Petersen]

And the Grifter from the soon to be canceled Wildcats

[Hellsaint]

Man these pics are way over my league... maybe i should've applied for the pipsqeak league, its easier...;)

[Ukyo]

I'm arriving well after the beginning of the new forum, anyway, just to congrats you for the art you posted here, they're quite nice and original, keep up the good work !

[fitzroy]

Petersen, the Grifter pic is fantastic, love it. Are you entering Comicbook Idol? Do you qualify? Go for it dude.

[Hellsaint]

I'm arriving well after the beginning of the new forum, anyway, just to congrats you for the art you posted here, they're quite nice and original, keep up the good work !

Hey ukyo, u drew all those HB pics in that website? (www.hellboy.free.fr) I think i remember seeing a few in the old forum, cool stuff u have there. Maybe u and peterson can work something out ;) ...

[Otto66]

Fitz? What did ya think of the Marv?

D? Nice job on the Marv, but the Grifter was, as Fitz said,
fantastic. The is a feeling of movement in the pic.
But, one thing, could you please tell us the size of
the piece somewhere in the posting? Also, are these real
art pieces or just cyber?

[Petersen]

Almost all of these are 4"x11". Marv is a little shorter: 4x6.

These are all watercolored pieces. They exist in the real world. On a few I have done a little contrast bump or bump up a red or something like that, but I do not alter them very much at all (if at all) before posting them.

working on flash & spider-man now

[Ken O]

The Grifter really does have that great sense of motion.
Loved Grifter ever since the first WIldcats, sadly with v2 and 3 I didn't keep up. There was a period in the service for about 3 years I had stopped reading comics. The fist comic convention I went to I was one of the guys from Cry for Dawn do a piece where Grifter was shooting the Power Rangers. We both found it extremely funny. Wish I knew where it was now.

[rhboyd]

spider-man?!?! oh no.... you're killing me here David....

:D
-r!

[fitzroy]

Otto, thanks for the Marv heads up, it is superb. I'm trying to talk Petersen into swapping some art but he just ignores me. Perhaps I'm just crap. Sob, sniff, lower lip tremble.
Petersen, great stuff, your Hulk on the other board is great.
Marv is stunning

[Otto66]

David? Cut Fitz a break. He is a good stout hearted fellow.
If for no other reason than the fact that he has saved his
own life by not smoking and is therefore a hero.

"fist comic convention"
Ummm... I have a joke here somewhere but I don't think
I can use it. :D

[Petersen]

Not ingoring you, fitz...just thinking.

Flash:
this one is 4"x8.75"

[hellboyone]

Great stuff, man. Really unique. Who do you cite as influences?

R.

[Petersen]

Great stuff, man. Really unique. Who do you cite as influences?

R.High praise coming from you rick.
I learned to draw copying images by Eastman & Laird, and graduated up to Art Adams & Jim Lee. But that was junior high.

Now I'm interested in Adam Hughes, Mignola, Miller, Tim Sale. But I have also been looking at more illustrators like N.C. Wyeth.

AS far as this painting style...it comes down to this..I feel most of my paintings fall a little flat, don't have enough punch. So I started painting a little looser and applying this linework (which is inspired by the hard line around a coffee mug stain).

Here's Spidey! (same size as Flash)

[rhboyd]

ooooh he's pretty David... even spelled incorrectly!!! ;)

LUV!!!

-r!

[hellboyone]

I feel sort of a dirty (and I mean that in a most artistic fashion) Tim Bradstreet thing going on. Still, very unique. I hope to see more of your stuff!

R.

[MaskedMan]

Hot Damn, I cant believe I didnt see this thread until now. Great work Petersen! The Hellboy Full Horns is the best. I love how you colored it. How did you do that? Also, do you do anything with your talent, like do you get payed or anything or do you just do it for the joy of it?

-MM

[Ken O]

Wow. The Flash one is great. My art consists of Cal, Hellboy, and Flash so I'm loving the character choice but then I looked that the Spiderman. Holy crap, that be your best yet.

[JohnThompson]

...then I looked that the Spiderman. Holy crap, that be your best yet.
I'll second that. Love the Spidey, David. GREAT work.

[Hells Orc]

I’ve sort’ve been ignoring the Spiderman comics of recent, because I don’t like how they’ve been drawing them…but that’s just a personal view. But I really love this Spiderman painting, the colors are glorious. It reminds me a lot of…not sure how to put this, well what a stained glass Spiderman would look like if anyone ever bothered to do that. Just the way the lines and colors are, and I like that affect a lot even if I’m the only one it appears that way too.

[fitzroy]

I'm puffing my chest out with pride, knowing I'm Otto's hero.
Petersen, thanks for the PM.
The Spidey is terrific, what's your time frame on these pics?
Cheers
Fitz

[Maija]

Even though I do not know this Grifter person (don't worry, I'll get caught up on all the quality comix eventually) I really like that painting. Spidey and Flash are great too. This is a great style for action.

[Ken O]

Got Liz in the mail today! Yay! Think when I get it matted and framed I'll frame it with one of the BPRD stickers.

[Petersen]

cue the cantina music....

[Anakin]

Yay! Han and Chewie! I need to find a job so I can buy soem of your art.

[Otto66]

Han drew first! Just say'n. ;)

[Petersen]

Han drew first! Just say'n. ;)

without a doubt

[Otto66]

Please. No Ewoks. Please. I'm begg'n here. :(

[Petersen]

don't worry. No Selacious Crumb either

[Hellsaint]

Please. No Ewoks. Please. I'm begg'n here. :(
Hey Ewoks are great, without them, starwars would not be...yeah...starwars.

[fitzroy]

Bring on the Ewoks, the fuzzy little fun-bags

[Anakin]

The Ewoks were small, fuzzy and annoying but at least they helped at the Battle of Endor. Unlike Jar-Jar Binks, who we all just wanted to kill.

[fitzroy]

Jar Jar is underated. Let's hope he gets a spin off movie.
Great Han and Chewie pic tho Petersen

[Otto66]

don't worry. No Selacious Crumb either

Jabba? Jabba? Jabba? (sorry, the 10 character rule)

[fitzroy]

Boba Fett would look cool in Petersen's style. Jaba is just a gay icon

[Maija]

Jaba is just a gay icon

What?!

Gah, never mind. I don't want to know.

[fitzroy]

Just kidding, Just trying to push the Boba Fett by making the idea of Jaba negative.

But he is, hanging Han on the wall so he could stare at him(Han) in a submissive position. Watching male pod racers, going round and round with powerful machines under them. The list goes on. Not as gay as Harry Potter tho'

Disclaimer, this isn't gay bashing or homophobic, just observational.

[Ukyo]

Hey ukyo, u drew all those HB pics in that website? (www.hellboy.free.fr) I think i remember seeing a few in the old forum, cool stuff u have there. Maybe u and peterson can work something out ;) ...
hehe, yeah, it's me ^^ I'm tryin to keep new things on it as much as poss but it's not really easy, cause I'm always trying different things and styles (out of HB). I usually put other stuff there: www.ukyo.fr.st (http://hellboy.free.fr/ukyo) .
About doing sth with Petersen, why not =) I guess we'd need to talk about it but I am really interrested in collabs =)

[Petersen]

you know how some days are better than others?
Had several paintings planned..only one turned out close to my expectations..

But I have big plans for a series that could be layed in a row as a larger image......

but for now, the only thing that went my way today

[MaskedMan]

Very nice, do you do that in photoshop or what?

-MM

[Tad]

Nope, they're ink and watercolor and he sells them. :D

[Petersen]

thanks Tad. :)

[Otto66]

David? Lucas called. Yer "Cease and Desist" letter is
coming via FedEx. :eek:

[Hellsaint]

WOOT! Great image, peterson! My watercolouring skill is like crap :mad: , the only things i can get is this totally smudged like hell pic which i would tear, crush, burn and then sweep away the ashes... well...back to the drawing board...

[Petersen]

David? Lucas called. Yer "Cease and Desist" letter is
coming via FedEx. :eek:

oh...well in that case. I'm not selling these ...I'm giving them to folks who lent me money

Hellsaint: The trick with watercolor is patience. Orginization doesn't hurt either. Having your tray be clean with colors apart from one another helps, and letting something dry, or partialy dry before adding more to it is what keeps you from the 'mud' look. I typicly have 2 of these going at once so that while parts of one are drying, I'm working on a differnt one, and then swith them back and forth.

-Petersen

[Hellsaint]

Hey! thats enlightening... No wonder i get bored easily while painting, it takes too bloody long to dry. Arrgghhh! Thanks for the tips tho!
Now im trying to sketch a pic of Liz and she looks so japanese, read too much manga... sigh...

[Petersen]

But I have big plans for a series that could be layed in a row as a larger image......

Start the Arkham Series...
-Petersen

[Ken O]

I love it. I already turned a bunch of the Hellboy ones into a Wallpaper on the computer.

[Otto66]

Bob Kane and Jerry Robinson's lawyers called. I told them where
to find you. :D

Nicely done. Both look great in your new style. Freeze has always
been my favorite of the Batman rogues due to his tragic nature.
2nd would be Two-Face (no pun).

[Hellsaint]

Woh! Nice pics. I like penguin tho, he looks...pissed i guess, but that is the part i like. More pics, MORE!!!! :D

[fitzroy]

Hey David, great pics. Marv and Grifter still my faves tho'. Oh, the Rorshach is terrific.

[Petersen]

Bob Kane and Jerry Robinson's lawyers called. I told them where
to find you. :D
always trying to get me in trouble. Hope you told them Crab Point(e) that is where I will be summering.


Nicely done. Both look great in your new style. Freeze has always
been my favorite of the Batman rogues due to his tragic nature.
2nd would be Two-Face (no pun).

Mr. Dent is on the list, as is Mr Nigma.

[JohnThompson]

Mr. Dent is on the list, as is Mr Nigma.
And Mr. J? The clown prince of crime? Did he make your list?:D

[Petersen]

And Mr. J? The clown prince of crime? Did he make your list?:D
Yes...although I'm perplexed as what to put on his mug shot sign...
even the numbers I'm assigning have significance..and his would look silly if I followed the same pattern.

No Harley...but Dr. Crane is a yes...as is Ms. Isley

-Petersen

[JohnThompson]

Yes...although I'm perplexed as what to put on his mug shot sign...
even the numbers I'm assigning have significance..and his would look silly if I followed the same pattern.
I still find the Joker's anonymity to be disturbingly creepy. I think "unknown" would work to good effect, foreshadowing the unknown details of his inevitable escape and murder spree.

So, the numbers have a significance too? Will Mr. Dent be #69, perhaps?

[Petersen]

So, the numbers have a significance too? Will Mr. Dent be #69, perhaps?

0066 by my count.

and yes 'unknown' will work...now to figure out his number

[Otto66]

The name "Jack Napper" has been linked to Joker in the past.
'Course if ya ask jonell about it, she'll just give an odd look. :D

[Petersen]

The name "Jack Napper" has been linked to Joker in the past.
'Course if ya ask jonell about it, she'll just give an odd look. :D

Napier..has been used...
Oliver Hammet is one being tossed around nowadays..but I'll stick with 'unknown'

[Otto66]

Yes. I knew it was Napier. But the joke worked better as Napper. :D

Oliver Hammet? I read a few of the Batman books. Where did that
come from?

[Petersen]

Sorry to have missed your joke...
but I get it now

Oliver...I guess there is a story about the Joker's pregnant wife being killed by the riddler (it's a take off on the killing joke origin) and Riddler suggests that Oliver is Joker's pre-chemical name

[Otto66]

Oliver...I guess there is a story about the Joker's pregnant wife being killed by the riddler (it's a take off on the killing joke origin) and Riddler suggests that Oliver is Joker's pre-chemical name

In the Hush story line? Or the crap *ahem* story that came after? :confused:

[Petersen]

wish I could tell ya...I found out what I did in some other (nonCBR) forum. and I think they did mention Hush....I still need to read that. have you? any good?

-Petersen

[Otto66]

Yes. Went fanboy on the Hush issues even bought the hardcovers
when they came out. The better paper makes a great deal of difference
on the art. The story holds together well. Of the recent Batman arcs, Hush
has been the best. Big new series crossing story line coming this summer.

[fitzroy]

Hush is beautifully drawn, the story needs some 'leaps of faith' at times, but all in all it's great. It's no Dark Knight Returns tho'

[KoryBing]

I'm not a DC reader, and I've heard lots about Hush. I've been thinking about picking it up. Dark Knight Returns was great, though. I love that one.

[fitzroy]

Petersen, the Penguin is terrific. are these the ones that will fit together to make a main pic?
I want Croc

[Petersen]

Not being an avid DC reader, my main exposure to croc was the animated series...What is the best depiction of him? I have seen Lee's version where he is more beast like, and then a few BtAS versions...

I do have a slot open in the line up...thinking about:
clayface (again, animated series is main exposure and not accurate to comic)
Vantrilliquist (little booring)
Ras AlGul (spelling wrong, too lazy to correct..also he never would be in Arkham)
Croc (don't know enough about him)
Solomon Grundy (Loeb seems to like writing about him, but I dunno)
Catwoman (I rarely think of her as a villan, more of an adversary...plus I don't like the idea that she could be taken into police custody)

and on the definately not list are: Bane, Harley, Anarchy, or any 'Adam West TV show only' villans.

So what do you guys think? Help me pick
-Petersen
and yes Fitz, they do line up. Did the rough sketch of Joker and Riddler last night while drunk on bad wine...I wonder if they look as good as I remember they did last night....

[Otto66]

Hush is beautifully drawn, the story needs some 'leaps of faith' at times, but all in all it's great. It's no Dark Knight Returns tho'

Time... moves on. Get over DK. Hush has been the best Batman arch
in a VERY long time. Great art, great story. Had ya read it when each
issue came out, ya would have gottan the nifty cliffhangers.

[Side note: The Jim Lee action figures just came out today. They are
like art jumping off the page. Only got Batman and Hush, but damn,
each piece is like nothing before EVER done in plastic.]

[fitzroy]

Otto, I did read it monthly. DK is old but still one of the best comics ever produced, and is the best Batman story.
The Hush figures are stunning, I may get a couple.

Petersen, do Catwoman and the Hush croc.

[Otto66]

Hush Croc. Yes!

[Petersen]

Long holoween is a fave of mine when it comes to bats story archs...
I'm leaning more towards catwoman than croc..(just to add another chic to the mix)

how has hush been reprinted? single TPB?

-Petersen

[fitzroy]

I think it's two trades. Won't be long before there's a single hardcover special tho'.
Long Hallowe'en Riddler is cool, and Grundy

[Otto66]

Two hardback trades. With the figures out a TPB should be coming.

Catwoman? YES!

[fitzroy]

Have you read Arkham Asylum painted by Dave Mckean, it's gorgeous. Great Batman, stunning versions of the inmates, especially Mr J.

[JohnThompson]

and on the definately not list are: Bane, Harley, Anarchy, or any 'Adam West TV show only' villans.[/SIZE]
Wha...? No Egghead? This is an outrage!

Looking forward to the Joker as well. Please, no mustache under makeup!

[fitzroy]

I was hoping for King Tut.

Or more seriously, Bane. Not the crappy movie version.

[Petersen]

Next two...

-Petersen

[Otto66]

Nicely done. Riddler looks how I thought he would.
Wasn't sure which version of the cat suit we were going
to see. You made the right choice. ;)

Oh, and does the new avatar have a name. :confused:

[Ken O]

The scratches in the background of the Catwoman are a very nice touch.

[fitzroy]

Simply brilliant.

Fitz
Petersen's biggest fan (TM)

[Petersen]

I'm trying to go with Tim Sale costume andcharacter design, but in my own style. The exception being Penquin...Sale draws a ball with teeth and a moincle..I wanted a possible crime boss look for him.

T: Thank you. I am trying to do something in all of them to 'break' the diagonal shadow line...Penguin: Smoke, Freeze: Cold Vapor, Riddler: Cane. I hope it makes them les static that way...unfortunately I could not be so clever on the next few I have started to lay out.

Fitz: i'm Honored

Otto: "Monster"

[Maija]

Oh wow. The latest two are really tight. This style gets more and more refined and elegant as you go along.

[Tad]

Ruta's right, the style is really evolving. Feel free to revisit some old friends in the Mignola universe.

[Otto66]

Otto: "Monster"

Would that be Bob Monster or Ted Monster? :confused:
'Cause I was in school with those guys. :D

[Athena]

Petersen,
Your stuff is so good that I look at it, and it makes me want to cry. :o

[Petersen]

Petersen,
Your stuff is so good that I look at it, and it makes me want to cry. :o

Wow....That compliment is a first. Don't cry..just enjoy.

more Arkham should be up tonight...
which 2 are next? wait-n-see

[fitzroy]

Stop basking in my wife's adoration and get painting. Hehe.

[Petersen]

Stop basking in my wife's adoration and get painting. Hehe.
Ok

Otto: Just Monster. I saw Maddie today..she wanted to climb me. and her brother Jack was going to put me in 'jail' (next to the punch bowl)

Tad: I have 2 more Arkham characters for the series, then I can perhaps get this thread back ON topic for the Hellboy board.

[E. Spears]

Wow....That compliment is a first. Don't cry..just enjoy.
Someone at the nine inch nails forum gave me a similar complement about a nin-inspired picture. I thanked them. Then promptly called them emo.

Great paintings, Petersen. I really love the Catwoman one, in particular. Let us have more!

I may have missed it, but have you done a poison ivy painting yet?

-Robert

[Otto66]

As mentioned, Two-Face is a fav. Don't take this the wrong way,
but, doing Harvey with the good profile showing and just a hint of
the bad may have been better.

[Athena]

[QUOTE=The Cure]Someone at the nine inch nails forum gave me a similar complement about a nin-inspired picture. I thanked them. Then promptly called them emo.

eh? Watcha mean, mister?

[Otto66]

eh? Watcha mean, mister?
Must be an insult to refer to someone as (Brian) Emo?

Athena? Since yer Mr. hasn't metioned it, ya need to leave the
end [\QUOTE] on yer posts to get the quote box.

Are you also an artist? Is your avatar your work?

Fitz? LoJo story is written. Have done two "Moore" style pages
so far. Will finish today (Sunday) and then try and figure out
some way to PM you with the details.

[Petersen]

As mentioned, Two-Face is a fav. Don't take this the wrong way,
but, doing Harvey with the good profile showing and just a hint of
the bad may have been better.

Not taken wrongly at all. I did 3 sketches of Mr. Dent. One with more dent, one facng front and one with more bad side. I think that the interesting part of harvey is the other side. When writing about him, it's more interesting to play up the harvey side, makes a dynamic story., but for a single painting I thought the bad side was visualy interesting over the good.

Althogh I could see a pose like yours being a great image

case in point... http://queenitsy.com/btas/images/2face.jpg
Mr. Dini

[Athena]

Otto, I had a funny feeling Mr. Cure was insulting me in a roundabout way.

Thanks for the quote tip... I'm not an artist though. The avatar is me, but it's not my work. Lord Fitz did it as a pencil sketch yonks back.

Mr. Petersen: your two face is ace. He looks manic.

X

[E. Spears]

eh? Watcha mean, mister?
I got a comment on the NIN forum where someone was like "wow, that one with the skeleton is sooooo beautiful it made me want to cry... :(." Emoticon and all.

What do I mean by "emo"? I mean emo. as in "my girlfriend left me I'm gonna sit in a dark corner and weep and listen to sad songs about people who are sitting in corners weeping". Emo bands include The Get Up Kids, Dashboard Confessional, the Fall Out Kids, and some more crappy bands. These bands SUCK.

EDIT: I was perusing the previous pages, and I loved the Penquin painting. Wonderful!

-Robert

[Athena]

Robert, lots of things suck. Some, more than others.

And I would love to see this picture from the nin forum. please post me a link.

K XX

[Athena]

PM me I mean, 'cos hijacking Petersens' thread would be rude.

[icbm1987]

DON'T DOUBLE POST!!! AGGH!!

The Two face is awesome... It portrays how the real Harvey is still lurking within... but the monster is the dominant feature... cool...

Oz

[Maija]

Robert, you're describing most people at some point in their lives, but particularly the early part of their lives when hormones and emotions rule. (Your brain won't be hard-wired for rational decision making until your mid-twenties, on average). We've all been in what seem like silly emotional places when we look back on them, but they were terrible and deeply painful at the time. We have all also listened to sucky music at some time. I fail to see the point of insulting someone when they're down.

ICBM, yelling at newbies isn't useful either.

But enough of this threadjack. Petersen, I'm really liking these, but they mainly have me giddy with anticipation for the Mignolaverse stuff, me being not so much a Batman fan, I'm afraid. :)

[fitzroy]

And can we have more Sin City? Manut or Kevin in action would be cool. You don't need sleep.
Paint damn you.

Fitz
Petersen's Biggest Fan (TM)

[Otto66]

Yea, that Dini guy. He sure has given us some great Batman
images over the years. Thanx for the link. I've never seen
that pic.

Athena? As long as we say nice things about Petersen,
he won't mind the thread jacking.

ruta? Filling in as Admin?

The Cure? Brian Emo is very talented. Too bad ya don't like
the music he is working on. We don't all listen to the same
music.

[fitzroy]

Just had a look thru all your Arkham pics so far, and The Penguin is nudging ahead as my favourite.

[Johann]

I love how you used the same theme/background for each one so they go well together like a set, I especially like two-face, that one is awsome.

I still can't get over your technigue though.

[Otto66]

Sorry folks. I mixed Brian ENO and Emo Phillips. Sometimes,
I'm such a dunce. :)

[fitzroy]

Haha. Funny.

Do more of these

Petersens Biggest Fan (TM)

[Petersen]

Finsihed with the Arkham series....
and while I was trying to save best for last....

Joker: I never drew a version I was fully happy with and this was the best of the lot

Ivy: Although I like it, I realized too late that she is in odd proportion to ther otehrs based on the line-up lines and the Gotham PD ID.

However, I am very happy with the series as a whole and should have them displayed as a set on my website in the next few days.

Few pieces of paid work to take care of, but I will think about some sin city stuff.....although I would rather do a really cool miller inspired LoJo cover for issue1

till then...

[KoryBing]

I really love the Ivy one. The simplicity of the facial features is beautiful. Your style is so cool. :D

[Ken O]

You're complaining about Ivy? She's gorgous, might be my favorite of the set.

[icbm1987]

Joker looks like my emaciated and pale friend Sam... and #0001 ... hotness.

Ivy is hot! The flaming dryad dressed like a nymph... who could deny that?

icbm1987

[Maija]

Oh wow. Ivy is beautiful. I love the way her left arm disappears.

[fitzroy]

Petersen, you da man. Sorry, got a little 'street' there.

Go for the LoJo cover dude, Otto will love you forever.

Love the Arkham stuff. Hope you don't mind me putting the Marv up, wanted to stare as I type.

Cheers

[Athena]

Petersen- WOW!

I love Ivy.

[Petersen]

Go for the LoJo cover dude, Otto will love you forever.

Hope you don't mind me putting the Marv up, wanted to stare as I type.

Cheers

LoJo cover will have to wait a bit, as I have some other things that have taken priority...

and no prob on the Marv..show it...you own it (It will be in the mail soon)

BTW folks, the Arkham series is on my website displayed as a set : here (http://www.materialsunlimited.com/petersen/comics/arkham.htm)

and now on to one of those other things...

[fitzroy]

I own Marv, I own Marv. Little bit of a jig going there. Very cool Petersen.

Dude, as a set they look awesome. Brilliantly done.

[JohnThompson]

Dude, as a set they look awesome. Brilliantly done.
I'll second what Bruce Willis said! The Arkham set looks great all together. It would look fandamntastic to have a big Batman piece "framed" with his rogues gallery like this.

[Otto66]

The Dr. Doom is the best yet. PM coming.
Having the Rogues together just makes for an amazing tableau.

Fitz? I'm planning on sending a letter bomb to JT aka Scifirex.
Care to split the cost? :D

[fitzroy]

Count me in Otto.

[Otto66]

Count me in Otto.
My partner in crime. :D

[Maija]

Ooooo, all of them together is very, very cool. What size are they?

[Otto66]

What size are they?

Wimen - size. It never stops. :rolleyes:

[fitzroy]

Otto, is there a reason behind your proposed 'action' or is it just time.
Poo, I didn't even look at the Doom, Petersen, that is great.
Good luck with what ever you are doing next, is it a secret?

[Petersen]

Ruta: Saucy! well lined up they are 34" long 11" tall

Fitz: No secret, Punisher.

[fitzroy]

Is it for fun or a commission?

Can't wait dude. Pose or 'action'?

[JohnThompson]

Fitz? I'm planning on sending a letter bomb to JT aka Scifirex.

Count me in Otto.
Hey guy, come on now! It was all in the name of fun! Can't we all just get--

Hold on, someone's at the door....

[Petersen]

Is it for fun or a commission?

Can't wait dude. Pose or 'action'?

commission. Thinking it will be horiz. with large gun aimed..but havn't started sketching yet.

[Otto66]

J_T? tick...tick... tick...

KA-BOOM!

Dude. :D

My "action" is to get a copy. Hear that Dr. Doom is a t-Wyrm piece.

[Ken O]

Yeah, two friends had birthdays in the same month. So what better gift then art?

[Otto66]

Yeah, two friends had birthdays in the same month. So what better gift then art?

Booze and (Censored ).

[Ken O]

Booze and (Censored ).

We buy eachother booze all the time. "Round of Carbombs on me," is a pretty common phrase with us. And for (Censored), I'm a firm believer in getting your own when it comes to that. That and the married one's wife would kill me if she ever found out. :D

Mums the word. Mum, Mum, Mum. :D

[fitzroy]

Otto, how much do I owe you for the CB?
Petersen, any chance of seeing the Punisher pic as it progresses? Love to see how you do that thing you so.

[Otto66]

Otto, how much do I owe you for the CB?

Ummm... Hellboy DVD? Thought it was a trade? Your art = Hellboy
sample disc.

[Petersen]

Petersen, any chance of seeing the Punisher pic as it progresses? Love to see how you do that thing you so.

trying to get at my secrets eh? Wouldn't seeing it in progress just make the final result less exciting? Let me guess you are one of those guys that wants to know 'how'd they do that' in all the movies.....yeah..I am too.
We shall see about progressive punisher...
I was going to hammer him out tonight, but I may have a new niece tonight..so
I dunno

[fitzroy]

Petersen, I'm basically crap at painting which is why I don't do it. If you were rubbish I wouldn't ask, hehe.
Congrats if you do get a new neice, I hope it all goes well.
Otto, CB was for Car Bomb, but I'm stupid cos it was of the letter variety, for JT

[Otto66]

Letter Bomb? What Letter Bomb? No, no. You must be mistaken. ;)

[fitzroy]

My mistake, *wink* sorry.

[JohnThompson]

Otto, CB was for Car Bomb, but I'm stupid cos it was of the letter variety, for JT
You Old World chaps and your car bombs. Here in the States, we prefer the more hands-on busting of a cap in one's arse. Of course, if you really wanted revenge, you'd covertly invite someone to a Springer taping. Or a dance-off, ala "you got served".

[Athena]

You Old World chaps and your car bombs. Here in the States, we prefer the more hands-on busting of a cap in one's arse.

Isn't it "bust a cap in your ass?." "Arse" is sooooooo bourgeois sloaney British. Still, I bet it sounds really wierd if you're American and say it. ARSE.

Tequilawyrm: I want to come on one of your nights out.
:D

[Ken O]

Tequilawyrm: I want to come on one of your nights out.

[JohnThompson]

Isn't it "bust a cap in your ass?." "Arse" is sooooooo bourgeois sloaney British. Still, I bet it sounds really wierd if you're American and say it. ARSE.
"Ass" is the appropriate word as used in that phrase, but I was trying to clean up the language by using a foreign word. And yes, English as spoken across the pond is a foreign language. Besides, Grant Morrison uses the word "arse", so its cool, eh?

Weirder sounding than a Yank saying arse is a white guy trying to talk "street".

[Athena]

Weirder sounding than a Yank saying arse is a white guy trying to talk "street".

Handbags at twenty paces, peeps.

You are right, though. It is distinctly cringeworthy, and something I really would rather not hear!
And may I also clarify the fact that I did not say Yank. It's mildly offensive, and along the same lines as Limey so it's in my banned words box.

XX

[icbm1987]

Limey? Wha?

.

[JohnThompson]

And may I also clarify the fact that I did not say Yank. It's mildly offensive, and along the same lines as Limey so it's in my banned words box.
Offensive? I didn't think you were allowed to post here if you had nothing offensive to say.
I've always wondered what the origin of the word "Limey" was....care to enlighten me, anyone? Especially if its offensive.

[Athena]

The story is that when sailors landed at foreign shores, having been at sea for weeks they were deficient in vitamin c, and this meant that they were prone to scurvy. Now, despite the fact that at that time citrus fruits were expensive, they used to put them on board the ship, and have a slice in their water ration (which is why you have a slice of lemon in so many drinks). However, because they didn't last very long (no GM or radiation) the last few weeks the sailors were without the fruit, therefore becoming prone to scurvy. Hence, the first thing they would do is run to the trees and suck the limes/lemons whatever.

So, you end up with the term limey.
Here endeth the lesson.

[Athena]

Offensive? I didn't think you were allowed to post here if you had nothing offensive to say.

(sorry ICBM)

It's mildly offensive. Imagine the response you'd get if you called a woman a wench.

That about sums it up.

Big kiss.

[icbm1987]

Ok... but how is that offensive?

icbm1987

[Athena]

Ok... but how is that offensive?

icbm1987

It's the reinforcement of a general stereotype about the British. When I say sailors, I'm not talking about taught muscular navy seals. I'm on about rough drunk nasty horrible men who hadn't had a bath for weeks and whose teeth were falling out their heads (from the scurvy).

XX

[icbm1987]

The Yanks are over-sexed
overpaid
and over here.

What was the reciprocal saying about the British?

answer in tags
The Brits are undersexed
underpaid
and Under (their leader... I think It was Churchill... but that doesn't sound right)

icbm1987

[Ken O]

I like the word yank. I like the word wench too. Of course most things I think and say are offensive....

Like my mum's pants.

Paint, damn your eyes.

[Otto66]

From partner in crime to nobody in less than 24 hours?
Otto = sad. :(

[fitzroy]

I'm being shouted at by my irate loud and currently naked wife, that she didn't start the hijack of Petersen's thread, but was the only one to apologise.

Now that's over and my ears aren't bleeding anymore...Otto, you can be Louise to my Thelma or alterately who shall we 'see to' next? That ICBM needs a good 'talking' to.

[petriacce]

...Otto, you can be Louise to my ThelmaIs it time for the cliff scene yet? :evilsmile

[Otto66]

Ummm... could we be Butch and Sundance or maybe those
2 British body snatchers?

And the naked wife stuff... lucky git! :D
(But why the hell are ya at the PC?) :confused:

[fitzroy]

I'm at the PC because, oh, it's a long story. Involving spies, secret formula and trained budgies. Athena is in the bath.

How about I be Starsky and Hutch and you be Huggy Bear?

Petriacce, there is no cliff scene in Starsky and Hutch. Do keep up. Hehe

[Otto66]

Patrick? tick...tick... tick...




KA-BOOM! :D

Fitz? If you read the stuff under ICBM's avatar, you'll see
hes had a bit of re-education.

I pride myself on NEVER having seen "Thelma and Louise" or
"Titanic".

[fitzroy]

Hehe.

I pride myself on never seeing E.T ever again. Although I do vent about it when anyone mentions 'that film'.

T and L is superbly shoy.
Titanic is long and pointless.

[Otto66]

Athena is in the bath.
Lucky git.
How about I be Starsky and Hutch and you be Huggy Bear?
Yer gunna be 2 guys and I get to be comic relief?
Petriacce, there is no cliff scene in Starsky and Hutch. Do keep up. Hehe

SO? What about the 2 British body snatchers? If we're Butch and
Sundance we get to be cowboys! Wheee... cowboys. :D

[fitzroy]

Burke and Hare, the famous idiot and rabbit?
Cagney and Lacey?

If we are going to be cowboys how about Pat Garret and Billy the Kid, I bags being Pat.

BANG, you're dead

I think you two should be the Avengers, and Otto is Mrs. Peel.:D

[Otto66]

Someone else who hated "E.T." ? Its no wonder
we get along so well.

Saw "E.T." at the movies. Had this jerk sitting behind me who
talked to the screen during the movie. Not to his date or the people
he was sitting with, but the screen. I figured he was "baked". The
last straw came when E.T. was dying and the jerk says, "Don't die, E.T.",
with a voice that sounded on the verge of tears. I stand up, turn around
and scream, "Its a rubber doll! Shut the F*** up!", and give him my best
Clint Eastwood glare. He shrinks back in his chair, I sit down and his date
prompts him to apologies. I hear a meek, "Sorry".

I am a movie house Nazi. I came to watch a movie not listen to
someone talk during the movie. Folks get all comfy in their chairs
and think their at home on the couch.

I could tell ya stories...

[icbm1987]

May I be "Mother"?

Otto? Hellboy called. Says he's comin' to getcha.

[JohnThompson]

Hmmm... sounds like someone not interested in a 18" Hellboy toy.
Hey, Emma Peel is the best thing about the Avengers! That's a compliment, dude! Besides, she gets to do the major ass-kicking-- I thought that would appeal to you.

Anyway, did you not see the smiley? Smiley mean "jokey".
