Digital Color
So I have showed a few examples of my hand-drawn colored stuff that I have been doing recently and wanted to post a couple that fall into thedigital color category. I am trying to fuse together the woodcut/art nuevo highly inked style I have been doing for years now along with a more simple blue line aspect (similar to illustrations you might see on the side of a macaroni or bandaid box but sloppier-the second image does not have this in it) and join it together with a very dark background approach taht is super low contrast when printed but spot colored here and there with flourescents. Not actual flourescent inks of course, but I am working on two blacklight posters right now which I will produce in that manner and I think working on them led me to create this color scheme.

Hi Chad, I just wanted to say how much I love your work. I love the line quality and my background in relief printing resonates as well to the first image. I love the mystery and narrative you have. Great job. A new fan achieved.
Welcome back Chad! glad you accepted. I like the pallete- and the lines are always good ( do I detect some intentional rattiness to the wood panel on the bottomt image? Is that a recent addition?) . I could maybe see going a little crazier with the color though, maybe try introducing a randomly selected color and go from there. It looks good as is, but it doesnt hit me as hard as your use of that deep orange, for instance.
it`s always lame when all you want to say is `god, brilliant` but `god, briliant.`
Interesting approach with the colors, you might try messing around with different shades of grey to imply more depth in the imagery unless you want to push a sort of flatness that could fit into this almost medieval illustrated manuscript style.
