 シュワッチ!!!
 This was done in about 2 hours. I have been working at being more gestural with my marks. In fact, this might be more of a warm up painting.......... this is not coming to me as easy as I would like. Please let me know what you guys think. Jack

 Re: シュワッチ!!!
Another amazing painting. Can we get some bigger size ones to use as a wallpaper?

 Re: シュワッチ!!!
Outstanding illustration! Your intuition to go with more gestural, painterly strokes paid off. The background and subject interact perfectly.

 Re: シュワッチ!!!
Really, really cool. The way you did the mouth makes me think of Dieter on Sprockets pursing his lips, though!

 Re: シュワッチ!!!
I'm a huge original Ultraman fanatic, and have seen a lot of art based on the characters, and this is one of the best non-Japanese pieces I have ever seen. Excellent job capturing the subject perfectly!

 Re: シュワッチ!!!
You might reconsider the "ear" on the left side, otherwise it is GREAT! Fantastic work for 2 hours. I'd like to see what you do with Ultraman when you are feeling it!

 Re: シュワッチ!!!
I'm confused, are you doing these out of nothing or are you painting over live pictures ??

I got this great little book about "Ultraman" the last time I was in Japan and used those images as reference to get an idea of the image I wanted to paint. I then started with a blank canvas and then started blocking in neutral tones, just as you would do with an under painting. Once I get the image rendered to level I am happy with, I bring the image into photoshop and add color and special effects if needed. Here is a screen shot of the image in progress. I dropped out the white background so you can see the actual brush strokes a little easier, how I am using white to take away from some of the marks I already made and wasn't satisfied with.  Also, I am not sure why I would need to reconsider his left "ear" since the angle he is at you would see it. That is why I included it in the image. If I took it away his head would be unbalanced and look funny. Thanks for all of the comments. Jack
