Was a bit busy today. I’m working on ads for a new weekly event starting at the Lookout in San Francisco. ACTIVATE! (a pxlforge logo design) launches Pride Friday, June 21st 2008! It IS a superhero themed Pride party so expect deuling DJ’s, hot gogo boys and high profile guest stars decked out and dancing.

Illustrations all begin on paper. I first come up with a pose I like and once I’ve finished a basic version of the figure, I break out the vellum and design the clothes on a new layer so I can doodle all over it as I brainstorm. After The costume overlay is finished, then I draw the costume on my figure and ink it before scanning the image and coloring the file in Photoshop with dozens of multiplied layers over the black and white artwork.
