Apolusia #3 : Issue 318

The character Apolusia belongs to MOY Publications Sdn. Bhd.






Apolusia is basically a crossover or more likely a rip-off character of Ghost Rider and the BLIND's brand logo/mascot (http://skately.com/img/library/logos/large/blind-skateboards.png) and I try to change that by applying the fiery skull concept into something else like this.
After this artwork was published in the magazine just a few days ago, I was disappointed by its crappy color saturation on the thin paper. But, it's a good lesson nevertheless.

Corel Painter 12 + Adobe Photoshop CS3

Apolusia #2 : Issue 317

The character Apolusia belongs to MOY Publications Sdn. Bhd.







I've put two of the same work here, but the left one got a little more detail and texture to the boy's body in comparison. The texture, was painted and pasted in Adobe Photoshop CS3 in order to explain why his hair is engulfed in the campfire with that stupid look in his face. 
The left boy pretty much explains that he can transform his entire body into whatever elements it touches. Despite that, the published piece was the right half of the upper image, the one that I painted in Corel Painter 12 without the extra Photoshop modification / the added texture.

This overall piece was done in Corel Painter 12 before I used Adobe Photoshop CS3 to define his face and some adjustment to his head and arm. The finished work consisted of monochromatic spectrums of crimson red and pastel yellow. Support APO? magazine, and see the post-production version of this artwork in full colored print without the watermark. Thank you.
