Herro!
I was checking out your prev color palette, and I wanted to try a much blu-er tone and made my coloring layer in "overlay" mode to preserve the contrast of the "inks"
I think that this way everything came out sorta really uh gay this way though. My reds/oranges turned into magentas, but i like the way that the yellow in the drink turned out!
Anyhoo I guess it's not really ready for coloring yet but I think that the pencils/inks are getting there. Staring at the old drafts side by side though (and the original pencils) I am a little sad that the worms eye view generally got pretty much fazed out. Think we should throw it back in while it's still early?
that is indeed a spot for the 'ol tramp stamp....heheh might be kinda cool if we made it into a brand name for embossing or something :P
I tried a different pose on the bartender and spent the rest of the weekend (between alternating episodes of Venture Bros and the Tick) trying to figure out the perspective lines. I keep trying to look at it for a while and then look away, but I haven't yet been happy with it. specially the left side. Gonna have a few art friends stare at it tomorrow and see if they can show me what's up :>
how's life in yer parts? Enjoying the post-grad glow? When are you moving up to SF?

hmm...the worm's eye. i think the perspective of the piece is pretty dynamic as it is. you could try widening her wrist/hand (would that be forewidening? hee hee), and then rotating her hand/the glass a bit away from the viewer (and applying the same rotation to the ash tray). little manipulations like that would help recapture the worm's eye i think, without having to rework the background.
it's going pretty well out here, i must say. drumming up a couple more adverts for the background (fun with cameos!) and keeping busy with various projects for the con. a friend asked for a captain america stencil on a bookbag...so that's taking awhile xacto knifing. and you know, coming down from the indy/iron man double feature high of last week ;D
actually headed up to san fran this weekend for a graduate meet-and-greet. hopefully they're cool and maybe one of them needs a roommate for the fall...
how's atl? dunno if you've had any more soirees, but i'd suggest a slip-n-slide party with an accompanying watermelon seed spitting competition for good measure. summer's teh roxor!
Rotating the ashtray, huh? That's a really great idea. I'll try to put that into this next draft...
