You might want to check out page 12 of "Menace in Metal!"; I did a little tweaking of the big panel on the lower half.
The coloring on that panel (Dyna in flight) looked so good that, when I turned the line art layer off, it looked almost like a painting. So I kept refining the color work, smoothing and defining edges, fixing a little wonky anatomy, etc. and replaced the existing art with the new stuff. There are no ink lines in the new panel.
And I was so proud of how that came out that I adapted it into a new desktop picture that you can get here.
July 17, 2005 at 5:17 pm #8011AnonymousGuestThat’s a lovely effect there, DCM! Thanks for the alternate version in the story. It makes a fantastic desktop too! Thanks for all your hard work.
I hadn’t seen Sonia’s desktop on the ‘spicier desktops’ page before. Are you thinking of transferring a few more Dyna/Tetsuko pics into desktops in the near future? They’re really great!
July 17, 2005 at 5:27 pm #801200treeParticipantI love your artwork and have actually used a couple of your pics as a referrence for some of my own drawings (hope you don’t mind). I’ve always been a huge comic book fan but they have always been scared to put any female muscle in the books so when I first got hooked up to the net about 6 years ago and found your page I became a regular to your sight and check it often. Have you ever thought of scetching a pic of the new UBER she- hulk from the last couple issues of her comic? Keep up the great work.

Haven’t decided yet… one thing I don’t want to do is populate this particular "universe" with too many superbeings, lest we dilute what makes Dyna special.
That said, having a friend or two in the "superhero" community could make for some interesting reading; give Dyna someone she can "talk shop" with. That kind of thing.

Thanks for the compliments!
As for making more desktops of Tetsuko or Dyna art: I’d have to create new art for those; the comics I’ve done so far (up to Dyna) have not been drawn large enough to make good desktop pics especially at the larger sizes (1024×768 and up). The Dyna desktop was a lucky break… I’m doing the original art for each strip at 2870 by 2250 (which is reduced to 755 by 592 for the web, almost 75%), so getting a desktop pic at even 1600 by 1200 was no problem; usually I’d have to enlarge the art which of course spoils the detail. But keep watching; I intend to add more desktops when I get the inspiration (and time) to do them.

Well, I’m flattered! …and a little frightened: someone’s using my work for reference when I still have so much to learn (and relearn!!) about drawing figures. (and cars, and buildings, and weapons, and…)
I’ve always been a huge comic book fan but they have always been scared to put any female muscle in the books so when I first got hooked up to the net about 6 years ago and found your page I became a regular to your sight and check it often.
Yeah, that lack of female muscle in comics is largely what spurred me to create my characters. And I’m sure more than a few other writers and artists on this very board will list that as an impetus themselves.
Have you ever thought of scetching a pic of the new UBER she- hulk from the last couple issues of her comic? Keep up the great work.
Mmmwellll, I don’t want to spoil what’s probably supposed to be a surprise, but there will be something like an uber-buffed She-Hulk drawing by me on the Web in the near future…

Yay! (also!)
