Description
I am officially in love with my markers. I don't know why I stopped using them, but now that I'm back with a bit more color theory and experience under my belt... ooooooh baby.
Colored pencils cannot do Spiderman justice. Markers- good, high-quality markers- are what's really needed to get the richly saturated colors right.
So yeah. After inking the lines on this, I decided on a whim to dig out my old ZIG Memory System Twin Tip markers, which I rarely touch. Mom gave me the sets years ago, probably hoping that I'd use them in pursuit of scrapbooking as a hobby. (I love my mom
But I leave the scrapbooking up to her. My other major artistic disappointment to her was not taking up watercolors. I prefer acrylics) Since the markers are so old, I wasn't expecting them to work, but apparently ZIG makes some damn good markers. They worked like a charm, and pretty much from the minute I started coloring Spidey there I was in love. Absolutely in love.
I'll be digging these markers out again.
For now, Otto is foiled in his escape by the friendly neighborhood Spiderman. Spidey and Ock are in marker, the background in colored pencil.

Overall Vision Originality
Technique
ImpactExcellent vision. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="
" title=" (Smile) - "/> I love the perspective on this. I love how original it is, in that he has the tritium in his hand while taking off, not just holding it in a still pose.I love your coloring technique. I love how the tentacles seem to have depth to them with the shading.
It needs more 'shadows' but, other wise it's really good. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="
" title=" (Smile) - "/>I don't really see any shadows but a few for darkened areas. I love the coloring on Spider-man, although his body looks a bit feminine in the way it bends. I'm not seeing alot of muscles. He still looks very good though.
