Haha Heck yea! Looks great so far Jason. Love the composition. Keep it up!
Oh yeah! I love the "noir" look! There's a feel and mood you can get with black and white that you just can't get with color
Awrgh yeah. Keep going. Nice composition.
What do you use for reference when drawing the people in your illustrations? magazines, newspapers and how do you compose them?
thanks
perdy stink'n cool kid!!! Impressed...
really love your set up using form to emerge from shadows...
Looking fantastic! I'm definitely excited to see it finished up!
Beautiful scene! Compliments really!
Love the noir stuff Jason. You are doing real justice to the genre. The Zippo is an extra cool touch.
Looks GREAT!!!:o)
That is a very intrigueing composition. The punisher characters pose is very apealing dont lose those nice strong planes and shapes.
Hey thanks so much everyone, I'm really enjoying the process! As for that, I came up with the idea all on my own, made up the composition, lighting etc . . . I post a few friends of mine and took tons of pictures to sketch from. I used poses from several different pictures to make this composition work.
I'm going to do two versions of this, one in black and white and another in a gritty color scheme.
You son of a gun ;)
This looks so great. I wish I coulda stuck around to be in there.
Well, by the next time I visit you should be famous in the comics world and I can sit in on the latest :)
Awesome, man. Talk to you soon.

Although it has good mood and composition as everyone has said, it just doesnt look like a jseiler to me. I can understand you would want to try and do "serious" stuff once in a while and not just charicature all the time, still I wish you could go more over the top with it.
Thank you Ethan, I love ya bro! Thanks to you also Richard.
As for your comment . . . I may have the chance to do some cool graphic novel stuff . . . to tear it up in a different zone . . . it doesn't have to always be funny or exaggerated . . . . there is a VERY serious side to me that most people do not know about . . . this is my chance to explore that and see where it leads.
I hope you will like what I do, but more importantly for me, it excites and re-freshes me!
I would love to see you do a graphic novel. There are always new horizons to explore!
As a Great Picture....!!
Do you worked with photography or anything else?
Super cool. Dramatic and seductive (in that I'd want to see more of this story).
