From the pages of Marvels Godzilla, Shogun Warriors & Fantastic Four comes a battle between two mechanized giants. I got the itch to do this 11x17 piece after a fan from IG mentioned the Samurai Destroyer. I'll post the INK and FINAL COLORS here. Let me know if you are giant robot and/or kaiju fan - Love to hear from you.
you could hang that on a wall, love the kirby dots by the way
@captain epictetus My thoughts exactly. That's why I'll be offering it up as a print for purchase here : https://www.deviantart.com/fbwash/shop/prints
For an affordable price a person can get a print to give a forever home for my art :)
Well it was crazy busy yesterday BUT I was determined to get the inks on the paper. Have to scan in, tweak up and then color.
saw it on twitter, it looks great! I think it's all the captions that really brings it over the edge
@captain epictetus It's funny because I'm not a HUGE fan of lettering BUT definitely for sound efxs which don't have to be perfect. I like to have fun with the design and putting that lettering in brought a big smile to my face.
ART FLOW : Hey Everyone Wassup, The Red Ronin vs Samurai Destroyer piece that I started on February 1st is completed and here's the final art. This story is a "WHAT IF" scenario if these two super robot titans cross each others path after the destruction of the Shogun Sanctuary. Is S-Destroyer a friend... Or Foe?
love the final piece! I know nothing about coloring but I definitely like what I see. btw, about the lettering thing, I've never seen resources on that topic, studies or references to all those sound effects and the like, I wonder if there are any.
@captain epictetus I'm sure that there are books on fonts and comic book lettering. I honestly learned about doing the sound efx from looking at the old comics from the late 60's into the 80's. Jack Kirby did a lot of these kinds of effects and they were AMAZING! I look at some of kirby's art and you'll see them represented there.
MEMORY LANE : Back in 2018, I was commissioned by a patch maker to illustrate the MMPR DragonZord for a custom patch. Not sure if the patch was ever made... Or not. I'm usually given a comp copy but didn't receive one this time. I'll assume that it never made it to the next step BUT nevertheless the ART still endures :)

MEMORY LANE : I'd like to do shout out to Charles D. Moisant & Doug Rice for the chance to do some sample art over Doug's Dynamo Joe rough sketch last year. I decided to have fun and add some screen tone shading in photoshop. It was a fantastic moment for me in drawing a character that was part of my childhood and part of the fire that inspired my career path 🙂
