This is my last sketch of the first round, and the most anticipated for me personally. Revok got me into writing over a decade ago and out of all the times we painted together I realized I had never fucked with his letters. Sketching his shit flowed almost as smoothly as if I were doing my own name. As far as the process went I sketched this roughly in pencil, then inked the outline, shaded the 3-D with color pencil... The next step was scanning it, tweaking the colors, adding the bubbles, drop shadow, fade, a few other accents, and finally my name and The Exchange logo. I think it still needs a hi-light on the fill and maybe some green somewhere to set it off but whatever. I'm looking forward to seeing it on the wall!
Yeeeaaaahhhh! - That's nice!, It's great to have one of your favorite writers sketch your name... Isnt it! I'll have fun painting this...thanks Sev.
Great job on the outline Sev! We have come a long way with the quality of the outlines since the beginning of this project. The piece has some difficult whips and smooth dipping linework, I am curious as to how Revok will handle it! Since the outline is so clear in terms of placement, style, color and composition, I would really like to see Revok hold true to the outline. Maybe even doing the Flying sever font and The Exchange logo. We'll see...
- I ENJOYED PAINTING SEVER'S SKETCH, EVEN IF YOU REALLY APPRECIATE SOMEBODIES STYLE "AS IN THE CASE WITH SEVER" -YOU CANT COMPLETELY APPRECIATE ANOTHER WRITERS SHIT UNTIL YOU TRY TO PAINT IT. FOR ME AT LEAST, SOME OF HIS MOVEMENT AND RHYTHM WAS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE, BUT I HAD FUN WITH IT...
DOING THIS PIECE WAS A FUCKING HEADACHE, NOT
BECAUSE OF THE SKETCH, BUT BECAUSE OF THE RAILWAY POLICE WHO CHASED US
OUT, THEN DISSED OUR PIECES WITH THE PAINT THE OTHER GUYS LEFT
BEHIND...I THINK RIME ALREADY TOLD YOU THE STORY....
-R.
