So today’s digital Thursday post is a pic I did for the No-Prize Sketch Challenge over at Ten Ton Studios. The challenge was to draw some good old fashioned Nick Fury. I decided to make an attempt at a 1960-ish Soviet propaganda poster idea. I am pretty happy with the results. The initial image without “weathering” is this one
And with weathering we have this one.
All total this is probably about 4 or 5 hours in Photoshop with shit tons of layers. Actually the layer control on this was one of the worst I have had to deal with in a long time.
Question for those willing to comment: Which do you feel is better, the “clean” version or the “weathered” version?
To recap:
I have much stuff to clean up today
And tomorrow
Gobs of laundry
Got a HEPA filter for the asthmatics in the house
It seemed to help last night
Probably will be getting another this weekend
Wifey leaves stupid early on Monday morning for Nova Scotia
No one is looking forward to that
Especially the Nova Scotians
… The Nova Scots
… Yes, the Nova Scots
Listening to Fiona Apple's Sleep to Dream from Tidal
Have a great weekend everyone

I like the clean version for a comic book panel, but the weathered version if it was a background shot of a recruitment poster on the side of an old brick building.

for what it's worth i like the weathered one better. it has more character. have trip to wifey (haha! wifey!) and happy solo parenting to you. we are off to disney world tomorrow.
that should read: "happy" trip not "have" trip. sorry for the typo. -m
I don't think I could pick either. They both have solid merits.
i would totally have said that i liked the first one...until i saw the second. I agree that both have merits, but the weathering adds a certain appeal.
Sassyfrass:
Yup, you have the rights of it. I think I am going with the weathered version for the challenge.
M:
Thanks for the input. Enjoy the vacation, but I do not envy the roadtrip.
Belsum:
You are too kind.
Wifey:
I agree, the weathered one is entered.
They are both hot. I think the weathered one is my fav though. The propaganda is genius.
Dustin:
I liked that one better of the 2 as well, but it looks like the vote is going against it at the moment in the challenge thread. :(
