Dirty Harry in The Dead Pool

Pencils for a panoramic poster I am working on based on the Dirty Harry franchise with Clint Eastwood. This one is from the movie The Dead Pool.
Pencils took about 5 hours (non-photo blue base and clean pencils over that). Drawn on a 17 x 9 piece of cold press board.

NOTES: the left-most empty rectangular shape is for a Motel Hell poster (the movie Liam Neesons character is working on in the film) and the central empty sign is for The California State Prison at San Quentin.
The image itself has another inch and a half or so on each side - the left will have a San Francisco city-scape photoshopped in and the right space is for copy (movie title and what-not).

Original Lioness Setting

This was the original drawing I did for the lioness appearing at the bottom of my Pride of Baghdad piece.
It was ultimately modified into the lioness and only the upper part of this image (the background "cityscape" behind the banged up wall). I digitally lowered that upper area down to ground level so it functioned better as a background. It just seemed to work better with the image so I went with it.

Colossus: The Colors

So these are the colors for the Colossus image I poster HERE. Also since I went through so many stages of "completion" with the colors I thought I'd post all the points where I though "I'm done..."

All colors are digital.
Total time for colors was in the neighborhood of 7 and a half to 8 hours.

Lioness Detail

Just wanted to post a detail shot of the lioness that appears in my Pride of Baghdad piece.

Pencils and inks took about an hour and a half - digital finishes/colors took about half an hour (it's almost all texture fill).

Pride of Baghdad

Okay, so I must have been living in a cave but I picked up and read "Pride of Baghdad" for the first time about two months ago and LOVED it.

Great story - beautiful art - bitchin colors....

In fact I liked it so much I was inspired to mock up a little tribute cover for it.

If y'all haven't read it yet I highly recommend it.

This whole thing took some time - I lost track of the hours as I edited and re-edited the image a number of times.

If I had to guess at a total number of hours spent on this one I'd say close to 20 hours.
