Cecil's Comment: Character is my weak side- not so much confident with anatomy and figures but also I haven't done much in my career. My passion is always there. Seriously.. I am just too busy with buildlings and columns. HW- I took a little different approach with this one, intstead of thinking if I am designing a character-which usually ends up a dummy standing pose that will show flaws in anatomy or proportions and etc. Since this one was based on comic character- I took a liberty on more elaborate composition as I am doing a study of someone else's cover art. I can't say who's influence is here but I definitely can say I am a big fan of messy, paintery comic covers- Phil Hale and what's other guys?,,, anyhow this is a lot of fun, I think the top one is straight study of existing Batman, then I flipped the image to convert it to some imperial war official with samurai sword. "Nanking Massacre"
I watched on computer the other day and the section when they talked about how Japanese soldiers were cutting civilians and prisoners heads off -that made me so sick and I was furious and tried not to think about it and it came right through on this image. What a War can do to people? Napoleon said "War is a business of Barbarians" that's so true. More blood only excuses more evil blood.
