Lastly, pulp science fiction often had those bell jar space helmets and the women had amazingly pointy brassieres. It looks totally like slick modern vector art. Off the top of my head, I think the pulp artists like Emshwiller used lots of solid primary colors like red and yellow and blue.Īlso, classic pulp painted covers didn't (usually) show lineart, whereas your nice drawing has this perfectly contoured computer-perfect lineart. I think the colors are nice, but not necessarily representative of classic pulp art. As an homage to pulp fiction art, I can see some influences like that raygun and the space suit, but otherwise the style looks very computerized and contemporary to me.

Huge uncropped image incoming! 3000x2000 įirstly, I think it's a wonderful drawing. Is this style too lacking in detail, or perhaps too detailed?Īny general pointers would be great too, and examples of similar visual styles would be incredibly useful! Your thoughts on the design of the character - is his space fashion achieving the same effect mentioned above and etc.? Your thoughts on my usage of colours - are they working to achieve the pulpy sci fi effect I want? My comic is *hopefully* going to be really pulpy and space opera-esque in both design and in how i'll execute it (the character pictured is called "Sparks McGee", for gods' sake.) so I'm here to ask for criticism on my design and colour usage in the below image. I thought this was an incredibly neat way to draw space, planets, stars and all that. I realised when doing research on old B-movie posters that the use of colours is often very flat and bright, with a tendency to use bright pastel colours like yellow and red. Won't lie, I gave up on trying to make comics.but i'm back! First off holy crap I have neglected this place and haven't been around in forever.
