The finished color work of the 20" x 30" Silver Surfer page. First time using the Copic Airbrush System. Mixed results, in hindsight I think I would recommend to anyone else to not use it or if they want to use it to buy the version that attaches to an actual air compressor rather than using the air canister method I used. It is to inconsistent. Sometimes I would be holding the spray trigger down and literally nothing was happening.  I would fiddle with it, sometimes change out the air canister when it was getting to cold, other times adding ink to the marker. Some markers wouldn't work at all in the device, so I would switch it out for a different one that would work. In any event, I am sure my customer will be happy with the finished piece.

Same customer also wanted this 1973 era 7-11 Silver Surfer slurpee cup art recreated. The 7-11 logo was recreated in an art program I have rather than pull one from the internet to maintain high quality. Page is 11" x 17"

This is Fantastic!!!!! I'm curious. Is this an original concept? It's brilliant either way. I love the colors and effects of the lights.

Thanks, it is an original concept but not mine: the person who asked me to do it. Layout is me.

I didn't ask Karl's permission to post this. Hopefully he won't mind. I just wanted to share the piece that he recently completed for me. It is a recreation of an iconic cover with an added special touch to personalize it a bit. It's gorgeous and I'm proud to own it. Karl's work is top notch!

I started using an airbrush to paint some of my full-size OUTER LIMITS alien busts.  Yeah, definitely need to invest in good equipment (I use a twin-drum compressor, Iwata airbrush and Vallejo acrylic paints).   My first airbrush job, followed by my most recent:

looks good! The Copic air can system is just so inconsistent, I do not recommend it to anyone.
