So today I decided to go with something a bit more artsy fartsy for Digital Thursday while still remaining grounded in the comic book medium. I decided to give a silhouette treatment to the Fantastic Four (Generic comic book FF not the movie FF).
This is still a work in progress so please bear with the areas that still need work.
I need to work on my Thing… ummm… that just sounded all wrong. The figure in the lower left needs some work. I also think I need to do something more interesting with Mr Fantastic. The invisible woman needs something as well. It is difficult to adequately silhouette an invisible person. Basically I am only happy with The Human Torch at the moment.
To recap:
Dinner tonight shall be something of Little Man’s choosing
It will most likely consist of something root beer-ish to drink
And something that reacts well to ketchup as a main course
I am not certain of this… just playing the odds
But before I can attempt to make dinner, I will need to put the dirty dishes in the dishwasher
For they are stacked and taking up great space with their food encrustedness
Blessed be the dish scrapers
For they assist the dishwasher in its cleaning
Have a great weekend

I really like this piece -- I dig the minimalist, industrialish, limited-palette thing.
I need to work on my Thing
Blockier, maybe? A more irregular outline? Definitely keep the cigar, though -- the smoke is a good counterpoint to the rockiness of Ben himself.
B:
I kind of fudged The Thing in there digitally without any sort of reference. The others I snagged images off the web and silhoutted digitally. I need to draw out a bust of the Thing, scan it in and, then silhouette from there.
For Mr Fantastic I need to figure out how exactly I want to show his bendiness. I don't think that I quite captured what I was attempting with the current version.
I feel that I am really close with the version of Invisible Woman.
I think that the Human Torch is right where I want him. The big thing I have to figure out right now is if the logo and framing is too "hey, look it's the Fantastic Four" for my tates.
The Human Torch does look good.
If you had just said, "I need to work on The Thing" it wouldn't have sounded weird.
Maybe you could add a hand in on Mr. Fantastic. Or does that ruin the silhouette aspect?

Where is the fun in that? I am trying to maintain the head and shoulder feel for the 4, so a hand would seem just a bit out of place, in my opinion.
