A premiere threefer with this commission: my first Saturn Girl by my first Joe Prado for first time client Tyler Nygaard. This 11X17 art was on DC/Vertigo 2-ply board. The medium was ok…not always easy to use markers on but I’ve dealt with MUCH worse. I used brush, Pitt markers (brush and superfine), microns, and Hunt 102 quill. I added the background in the box to enhance the effect of her using her telepathic powers to boost the sense of gravitas and enchantment. I used to have a perfect zip-a-tone of concentric circles just right for this look but I used it up ages ago (although I do still have most of my zip sheets going back 18 years!). So I used a compass and found objects like plates or bowls for the circles. Not perfect but it got the job done. This sexy Legionnaire was completed on September 23, 2009.
