Colossus - moody

Yet another commission piece, 9x12 ink on bristol.

I decided to really go heavy with the black on our solo Soviet here to emphasize weight and power in the image. He's such a fun character to render anyway, with all the steel, the ridiculous shoulder pads, and those swanky knee top boots. Good thing he's big enough to fend off any costume criticism!

I didn't want to detract from his emphasis, so the background is pretty simple, with a bit of texturing on the ground, and ultra-thin lineweights used on the far-off smoke trails.

I used to love drawing Petey as a kid and it was nice to come back to him on this one so much later down the road.

Take care,

Jason
