inks for practicing 1
howdy all!
gabe from SCAD asked if i had any inked pages that he could use for coloring practice. ol' ben is nothing but love, so i thought i'd start posting some hi-res inks here for anyone who wants to do the same.
cheers!
round 1: pages from future's end--superboy (to make it easier for anyone who wants to play with some of the backgrounds, i've put them as grey)...
(EDIT: i guess blogspot compresses them, i may or may not have the energy to mask a dropbox-type thing for people to get hi-res copies...)

the case of the phantom cleavage
daily doodle 157, $40 etc
back in my toybiz days, we made the action figures for the first XMEN film, including jean grey. her figure, for reasons i never fully understood, was sculpted so that an awful lot of cleavage was exposed. they made the expensive die and produced the figure and, shortly afterward, realized all that decolletage might be a mistake.
recutting the die was expensive, so instead they opted to paint a bit of bra to suggest that her breasts were indeed fully covered, and put that on the shelves. which was worse.
so finally they gave up and had her die recut to more demure coverage, and produced the figure all over again.
i heard several people complain afterward about how toybiz had OBVIOUSLY made these multiple jeans as a way to "trick" collectors into getting three versions of the figure.
some of the reactions to the first PREZ promo image (which was, in fact, just a personal test sketch) remind me of the phantom cleavage.
