Rufus Dayglo - Tank Girl - SOLID GOLD DEATH MASK

TK 421…. Why aren’t you at your post?!?

A Tank Girl / Star Wars mash up piece I’m doing for someone while I’m visiting NZ.

Been quite fun, as I also found some old Star Wars figures too!

I’ll be here in NZ for the next month… helping out my Dad. Gonna try and get a little work done too… but please forgive me if I’m slow responding to messages/emails/death threats.

Will post more dumb shit up soon.

annnnd… Here’s me when I was 4, with my beloved R2D2, C3PO, and Ben Kenobi toys.

Love, tanks, and Death Stars

Hey Rufus, You mentioned that you like graphite lines, whats your process for cleaning up your lines in photoshop? Do you just adjust the "levels", or do you use use the grayscale channel and select your lines and paste them in a new layer? I was wondering if you had any magic tricks to help me clean my work. Cheers.

Asked by pencilofdoom

Hi! I just make adjustments with the ‘Levels’, in ‘Adjustments’ section on Pshop.

Then I add an extra layer on top, and clean up any lines, blobs, hairs etc with a white ‘pencil’.

That way I can make it a little cleaner, but I personally like crunchy scratchy pencil lines…

It’s all down to personal taste how ‘clean’, or ‘solid’ you wanna make them … I vary from picture to picture myself…depending on what the subject matter is.

Hope that helps somehow!

Hey there Rufus, I'm starting to ink my own work now and I was wondering if you have any pointers that could help? or a page that you find helpful? Would be much appreciated, have a good one!

Asked by commanderamander

Hello!

Experiment, and find what works best for you. You can always scan your pencils, and print then out ‘blueline’ (google it) and experiment with different pens, and brushes…

I’d recommend following Becky Cloonan’s Tumblr, as she is quite frankly, fucking amazing.

Try out brushes, and pens… or just do really clean pencils and scan them and clean em up in Photoshop (What I usually do, as I love graphite lines…)

Don’t be afraid to amke mistakes…it takes years to get good at inking…I’m still shit at it myself.

Check out Becky’s work, and her posts.

Good luck!

I’m collaborating with TIND Silkscreens on some limited editions prints for COMICDOM ATHENS 2013!

I met Tind last year, and was awesomely impressed by some black light silkscreen prints he’d made. he’s an amazing guy, a really devoted artist, and has a relly cool attitude! I’m looking forward to doing more projects with him!

We’re doing a limited edition JUDGE DREDD print, as John Wagner, Dredd write and co-creator will be one of the guests of honour.

We’re also doing a SOLID GOLD DEATH MASK print, from my upcoming book. (check out our website…)

I’ll have some SGDM prints available on our site after the Convention (I have to bring them back to London!)
