I love the colored pieces and the sequentials kick ass too.

Welcome aboard, way to make an grand entrance.

[Pro]

Great looking stuff. Welcome to the board. Especially like the New X-Men sketches. Very lose but exact sketches.

You are amazing. I'm kind of shocked...

Clayface/Ivy is amazing.

I want you on Mighty Avengers, Fantastic Four, Batman, anything!

[Jae Namkyoung]

This is just AMAZING! Ditto on making an entrance!

[Eric Henson]

Nice work! Your sequential art is inspiring! I really enjoy all of your "Flash" work especially. There is a real sense of movement with your figures!

[robel g]

wow! nice stuff. how long does it take you to do a page of seq's?

[ink4884]

wow! nice stuff. how long does it take you to do a page of seq's?
a page a day probally. Roughly give or take on the pages.

[hunter_peterson]

Your comicspace says you're unpublished and looking for work.

I can't believe you're not already working on something! People must be waiting to snap you up like there's no tommorow!

So do you have published work? Your stuff's cool, I'll have to try and find some if you do.

A page of seqs really depends on what needs to be drawn. I average a page a day.

[Avenger08]

If you haven't already answered this somewher (I apologize if i missed it), how do you ink your work? Do you actually physically do it, or do you use a computer to do it?
If you actually do it by hand, what is it that you use? Ive been trying to figure it out but I just cannot do it
(This question may sound foolish, I apologize if it is)

[madrox1977]

Wow!! is all i can say

Hey sorry it took me so long to reply


As of right now i dont ink my own work.
I just do line clean up in photoshop for colors. I consider inking an in progress skill right now lol. If i do ink my stuff it's with a 02 brush or a micron.

For my projects for dc i had two or three talented inkers who went over my stuff for me.

[ink4884]

hey guys!

My secret six issue comes out on wensday! dec 09
You can see a preview of it here http://www.newsarama.com/php/multimedia/album.php?aid=32300

the book is out today and i thought i would post pencil versions of the preview from newsarama

[ink4884]

Is that a female Phantom Stranger?

yes sir :)

[Pro]

I always enjoy seeing the sketched and inked version together for comparison.
I'm curious about the blue cropmark lines etc. Are they placed afterwards or do you actually do the sketch on the paper with the cropmarks already in place? Also does the inker ink directly over your pencil art (probably not) or is it printed in blue ink after which he inks over that?

[Drezz]

Absolutely fantastic stuff, Peter. You've got skills. I'm really looking forward to seeing more of your work in the future!

I seen geoff johns hint at the big 7 returning.
Like when Jordan got his hope ring he saw the seven

and that inspired this piece. I wanted to do a kid lantern but one doesn't exist so i figured beast boy is most green so he'll have to do!


and i didn't plan this but 5 years ago in 4 days i released this drawing i did for fun. I was still in school at the time and unpubllished.


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v217/ink4884/teen_titans_comics__by_ink4884.jpg

This was too inspired by geoff's titans. I guess i'm now realizeing i'm kinda been a huge fan of his work for a while.

So there you go my life's story told through titans ^_^

[bakla]

Your painted work is really well done. I love your sense of color. You really excel in fleshing out the mood that your pencils hint at. J'adore!

[maniacthw]

That's one of the best drawn Kyle Rayners I've ever seen up there. I always wanted to write a story about him taking over one of the other color lanterns to make him a more central character.

I have been messing with around with inks and doing some ink warmup head shots and heres a page that i like from the latest siren's book.

I really enjoy drawing the rogues and retro classic catwoman , the script didn't call for specific costumes but i thought it was appropriate .

I will be at san diego comic con but i'll be hovering around and if all goes well i should be doing a signing at the dc booth. Mostly though i'll probably be around dustin nguyen's table.

So if you guys head down to san diego let me know! safe travels.

[ink4884]

Hey guys , it's been a while. So i present you my latest colored piece and some pages from my new marvel work.

I wish your stuff would up in more comics I read...

All that said, I have a question.

Is there some reason Spiral lacks her metal arm in this image?

[J Kleine]

Hey ink!

It's Tortuga from FR. Good to see your work here. I love all the movement in your panels and even character sketches are fluid. Awesome as always!

Nice work. How did you get that texture in the background? I've noticed a couple of people doing this lately, and I want to try my hand in it.

The work looks like an animation cell.

Again nice job.

i feel like the way i do it, it's not really scientific.

I grab some inkwash smear it on some paper, scan it in and put it as overlay over parts i want. Cut it out and lower the opacity.

Hope that helps

Oh man! This is freaking awesome! Lost for words! The colors and the image quality are good! Very nice detailing! You're such a worthy artist! Two thumbs up! :)

If you actually do it by hand, what is it that you use? Ive been trying to figure it out but I just cannot do it
(This question may sound foolish, I apologize if it is)

I would recommend spending about $10-$15 on a set of microns. I use a lot of .03s and.05s, but I also like using their brush pens (which is like a thin china brush), when I have to cover medium-large areas of black, but want to give it a unique texture. No disrespect towards digital artists, but I personally love the process and finished look of hand inked pieces. Plus there are soooo many styles and techniques. If you like to hatch/crosshatch, pick up a couple .005 pens. I have a heavy hand, so i tend to break the small tips of those pens, but thats just me.

[ryecrash]

I can't even tell you how impressed I am with your work and how much I would enjoy inking that Wildstorm piece of yours on the front page.

[Drunk Si]

Your work is sick! That Catwoman piece is amazing

[dbppres]

hey pete, is that kid with the elongated helmet, suppposed to be cannonball? WHY is his head/helmet supposed to be shaped like that? that's just too reminiscent of the unimaginative golden-age standard of helmet designs, isn't it?

[Drunk Si]

They looked like young Inhumans to me

[gregcomic]

Your work is incredible. Amazing stuff.
