So I'm cleaning my desk and I stumble across a cd that has one of my very first Marvel gigs on it. Spiderman: Legend of the Spiderclan. As some of you may know this was my first time ever trying to use the cell shading style of rendering. Also, this was the very first time I even attempted to digital paint backgrounds if you can call it that from looking at this.
The story behind me getting this gig was that I was bugging Marvel to get me a coloring gig. CB Cebulski responded to me saying there were no coloring gigs available but he was looking for a digital painter. Desperate for work I told him "I can digital paint also!". Course at the time I had never digital painted or used this cell shade style. A couple hours later I worked up a sample and fooled Skottie and CB enough into letting me finish the issue. This is that sample page.
