To Marc Baptiste.

I am guilty also of the "blanket good job everyone" comments, Marc. I post scarcely, due to:

1) my poor fluidity on english. It's sometimes hard to me to post an all-written post as the one in the last page (or this one). Elaboration of a constructive criticism about the work of another artist doing it inmediate to the post related to it, it's way far of my posibilities.

2) I'm connected only at work (not internet at home yet). When I enter on the board, this is the first thread I review. Hence, my vote to make it a sticky topic. Last time, after my two weeks hiatus, I reviewed pages 107 through 128 in a row !! It's hard to keep the track of all the posts.

Please, keep up the post. The diversity of this thread is his more valuable asset, IMO.

An Amalgam idea I had. Never quite got the Iron Man-Green Lantern connection. Seems that Batman and Iron Man were a better match (Especially these days) Anthony Wayne? Bruce Stark? Bruce Anthony?  Wayne Stark? Tony Bruce?

 Please ignore some wonky anatomy

As for the blue lines when scanned, I usually scann in colour and then I play with the contrast and brightness to make them disappear... It works even better if your artwork is inked and not just pencilled...

*********************************************************

The idea was the cape fans out when IronBat flies. Looks kida lame hanging there. I felt the image was too Iron Man and not enough Batman, so I put in the cape. Doesn't quite work. Still too much Iron Man.

About blue lines.

I never used blue lines. Are they made with a special pen?

yep.. back when I worked as a layoutman for some cartoon companies in France, they trained me to work with blue pencil ( Col-erase blue or light blue or dark blue... up to your preference ). I liked it and keep the habit. In France those pencils are expensive and not very easy to find ( British imports ). In Hong Kong, it is very easy and cheaper! I don't know for Spain. Try to see in some Art shops!

They are actually a color pencil.. it is called "non-repo blue" -- non-reproduction blue. That's about all I know about it. I don't know if you can just use certain colors of blue... or if it is some special pencil made just for that purpose. But that's what it's called.

Thank you Felipe. She's Mia Dearden, Speedy 2nd, Green Arrow's side kick and also a Titan.

If you didn't mean the character- I used Tara Reids eyes for a reference because I found them fitting. :-)

A question, Chris, your pages are grey or it's due to the scan?
