I did a quick sketch of a composition I liked and then went forward for the final image.</p>
<p>It ironically took me several passes and reworking the composition to get something I liked.</p>
<p>I have to thank <a href="http://shay318.deviantart.com/">Bernard Shepard</a> for taking on the inks( especially since my pencils were heavy, complex and sometimes not totally plannd out) He did a great job- you can check out more of his work over at <a href="http://www.studiorevolver.com">StudioRevolver.com</a>.</p>
<p>After the inks were finished I also struggled with the colors as well, but in the last leg everything came together. <span class="thumbnail-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><a href="javascript:showFullImage('/display/ShowImage?imageUrl=%2Fstorage%2Fthumbnails%2F5929909-11267763-thumbnail.jpg%3F__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION%3D1300341143998',593,400);"><img src="http://www.riqart.com/storage/thumbnails/5929909-11267766-thumbnail.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1300341286813" alt="" /></a></span></span></p>]]></content></entry><entry><title>Bezerker Captain</title><id>http://www.riqart.com/home-4/2011/2/17/bezerker-captain.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.riqart.com/home-4/2011/2/17/bezerker-captain.html"/><author><name>Tariq</name></author><published>2011-02-17T20:03:27Z</published><updated>2011-02-17T20:03:27Z</updated><content type="html" xml:lang="en-US"><![CDATA[<p>New portfolio peice. <span class="thumbnail-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><a href="javascript:showFullImage('/display/ShowImage?imageUrl=%2Fstorage%2FCaptainAmerica_Beserker_loRes.jpg%3F__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION%3D1297973500909',1130,756);"><img style="width: 300px;" src="http://www.riqart.com/storage/thumbnails/5929909-10798985-thumbnail.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1300595330798" alt="" /></a></span></span></p>]]></content></entry><entry><title>Inception comic cover Contest</title><id>http://www.riqart.com/home-4/2011/1/8/inception-comic-cover-contest.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.riqart.com/home-4/2011/1/8/inception-comic-cover-contest.html"/><author><name>Tariq</name></author><published>2011-01-08T20:41:48Z</published><updated>2011-01-08T20:41:48Z</updated><content type="html" xml:lang="en-US"><![CDATA[<p>DA recently had an inception inspire contest..
