Watercolors and ink on bristol board - 8" x 10" (SOLD)
So some noticeable changes took place in this last step.
I went over the entire painting with a light pink wash to create a "glowing effect" from the optic blast. That was the main draw (no pun intended) for this piece. I wanted to do a painting that conveyed a subtle light.

I'm forever a perfectionist. I don't know if this is my strongest comic book work but I certainly love the colors in this one. Normally I'm NOT a fan a pink tones but they work so well here!

The entire figure was meticulously inked and I splattered black on the background for added depth and that dramatic finishing touch!
Now Cyclops is officially ready for action!
ZZZZZZAAAAAPPPP!!!

I dont know if its proper to say a comic is beautiful, but wow this one really is;)
Watch Out!! Nicely done--I love the vibrant pink, red and orange along with that great texture of black or it even looks to be a dark purple in places-------Nice!
wooa! It turned out great! Im not a big fan of pink either but it just makes sense in this piece :)
Steven!
Comics can indeed be beautiful!

Yep, the background is a combination of dark purples mixed with blacks.

Nice job Dean, well done. Glow accomplished. Really like your pen/ink details. Not many can make pink work so well.
One of my favourite characters brought to life :) Though I'd still prefer him with Jean.
Hey have you seen the latest Adventure Comics with Superboy? Some really amazing visuals by Francis Manapul over there as well.
Beau dessin, force, action... énigmatique... J'aime
Coool, Dean!

I prefer Jean over Emma any day!
I've seen Manapul's work before. Right now I'm really digging Clay Mann's stuff over at the X-Men books though!

Very cool, Dean!! I love what you did with the colors -- very sophisticated use of underpainting -- and the ink adds the WOW factor!
Chris!
Yeah, the black ink definitely brought this painting to life!

I always enjoy the way you crop your painting details!

I just thought it would allow everyone to see the details better. Glad you enjoy them!
