Artist's Comments

One of the few pieces I'll have prints of for the Wizard LA show. I'm still fairly new at the whole print thing, so eventually I'll build up enough of a collection and have more variation in the future.

Iron Fist is such a fun character to draw...just a visual punch to the head, with swivel arm and kung-fu grip! heh I never followed the character in the comics, but since working on inking the title now, I've been enjoying drawing sketches here and there.

Don't know if I've ever talked too much about influences, but I'm definitely swayed by the more animated style approach. Some of my favorite artists include Bruce Timm, Ben Caldwell, Mike Mignola, and Jeff Smith...just to name a few. And I always loved how Jack Kirby art always practically jumps off the page, so I'm always trying to incorporate that into pieces like this.

Did this with PITT brush pen. I'm usually mostly a Hunt 102 nib guy, but the brush pens are a lot of fun when I know I'm inking myself.

And once again, Dustin came thru and made my stiff art really sing on the page.

Dude, sweet perspective and pose. And I can't believe you did this with traditional media, it's so smooth. *_*

If you\'re an enormous faggot copy and paste this into your signature.

...Damn it.
:icondfridolfs:
Thanks. I usually do a little fine tuning/cleanup in photoshop. And maybe Dustin cleaned it up even more in the colors.

This so dynamic! I love the hatching and the flow of hte lines!
:icondfridolfs:
Thanks. I'm glad some flow comes across. Making a static image feel like it's moving is something I aim for.

hey i really like the style you draw in. full of motion and energy. also a fan of the colors. does dustin have a website? he should color his own stuff
:icondfridolfs:
Yeah you can check out his site at: [link]

The last project he worked on, Manifest Eternity, he did practically everything on... pencils, digital ink, and colors. I think he enjoys it on special projects, but it's a longer process for him to do, so he's happy having some of us involved on the inks and colors on this current mainstream project.

But yeah, I think he does a great job on colors. He colors all of his card art (DC Vs. cards) and other side projects/concept art.
