Captain Marvel!

Taking the idea from a friend, who I hope updates her dream journal soon! I'm going to have some art entries as when I finish a project. Here's my first drawing (fully completed) that I've done in a year. *Put images in thumbnails to ease viewing*

1) First I sketched Captain Marvel. I did everything but his left leg, since I couldn't quite get the perspective point of view down.


2) Then I scanned that in and digitally added his left leg (flipped his other leg basically).


3) I then printed out the drawing (in a blue hue) and inked it. I realize I have a tendency for thick lines. I then scanned that in.


4) After being scanned, I then proceeded to color it up. I didn't quite know what to do with the eyes, since classic Cap was just small dots for eyes, and I'm not good at modern eyes, so I just added a bit of black at the last moment. I did some minor darker colors to give the aspect of shading, but it's only somewhat noticeable on the boots.


Captain Marvel!

Overall I thought I did a good job. The head came out a lot better than I had expected, but I wasn't too happy with the balled up fist. I couldn't find a good skin tone, so I probably should've blended a few and maybe I'll go back in and do that since I have each step saved. I plan to try my hand at drawing Billy Batson (Marvel's alter ego)next.

Returns

I've spent the last week going to Best Buy trying to return a DVD of mine that I didn't want/would rather have store credit for instead. It's completely sealed (unopened) & even has the best buy sticker price/upc on it. I took it Tuesday hoping to get store credit, but they refused since it was "out of their system" and I didn't have a receipt. I tried another best buy the next day with no luck. Then on Thursday I was able to get my hands on the reciept so I went back Friday. They still wouldn't take it, simply because it's over 30 days... and that annoys me to no end. It's closed, it has the original packaging, I have the friggin reciept and it's not like I want a cash refund.. I just want store credit because I plan on buying something at the store.. I find this to be completely unfair, and all this tough luck has done nothing to help my buyers remorse, and it's just another hurdle for myself to get money together to buy a pstwo.

London Blasts

My thoughts are with those affected by the terror attacks that took place in London earlier today. Justice will not splinter.
