Description

Alright. This is the Ghost Rider picture I have been working on as a part of :iconheroescorner:'s Character of the Month for November.

This was inspired by Clayton Crain's work on the Ghost Rider books through Marvel.

For those that are interested;
Sketch is here: [link]
Inked Version here: [link]

Basically this is my done by hand version, coloured with coloured pencils, I did give the background a quick touch up though as it was a bit dirty looking :P

Ghost Rider certainly was a challenge to do and I do plan to digitally colour the inked version at some point in the future, but probably not for a while yet.

And before anyone starts... I'm sure the motorbike isn't completely up to scratch... I have no idea about Motorbikes :P

Anyway, as per usual I am most interested to hear what everyone thinks :D

A skull for a head! This is the first detail that stuck out to me. The shadows and the blending of the general shades and tones is work at a master level. This excellent blending continues down from the head and can be seen on the entire rider. Then, going back to the head, one can not help but notice the flow and rich brightness of the flames. Fantastic work on your main subject!

The bike itself is not on the same level as your ghost rider, but is still well done in its own right. I am especially impressed with the mysterious writing on the part under the handles. This "writing" shrinks to a nearly unmanageable size, and yet the coloring is still of good quality.

I also appreciate the color spectrum used in this piece - how it sticks to darker and earthy tones. This is completely appropriate for the atmosphere your created.

The one area that sticks out to me in a negative sense is the highlight in the form of a circle right where the orange writing is. The edges of this highlight seem to sharp and abrupt to create a smooth, natural transition from the color of the highlight to the pure black around.

Besides that, superb work! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)"/>
