Hello again! Thank you for tuning in. Today, I shall be showcasing some artists where I had the pleasure of working with only once. Though for many of them, I can only hope to see them again soon!
First we have BORN-TO-DIE, and this pic was given to me in early 2008. That was pretty much riiight before Bu started to become more buff in my idea of how he should look. So think of early 2008 and before that as the pre-buff period. Besides that, BORN did take many liberties with Bu’s design. Actually not really a bad thing. Artistic freedom, baby! I believe this was his first real commission ever too! I helped him pay for his subscription.
So as you can see, totally different clothes! That’d new. A vest and pants and bandages. I kinda like it! I wasn’t sure if the skin color was an error or artistic freedom, but whatever! XD This image can currently be found HERE!
Next was a gift from…. Neekko! yay! I managed to go to the San Diego Comic-Con in 2009. But not 2008. Though Neekko did! Neekko was kind enough to get a picture of Bu. A bust to be more exact. So awesome. It came from Frozenlilacs! I think me and Neeks have coined it “90s Bu” because the following hairstyle, is large! XD Like… late 80s, early 90s rap almost?
Another very interesting interpretation of my dear ol’ Bu. XD This, like many other images, hangs neatly on my wall of Bu, in front of my desk.
And lastly today, I have an unreleased lineart, which I then colored and posted myself, which was really fun to do! It came from the artist Neo123. I commissioned him for a little lineart only earlier this year! Of course, being on Y! Gallery, it was totally porny. XD; Sometimes I cannot help it. The results were quite nice!
Simple lineart! I hope someday to see it colored by him maybe. His colors are quite awesome! I like the subtle details, and his muscle work is good stuff. I recommend Neo123 muchly!
And… MY own work! It’s not awesome. XD; It’s one of my first color jobs, but I was proud to post Bu work and Neekko was nice enough (and continues) to help me with shading images!
Yes. I did color an image with SPOOOGE…. >_> I hope you’re proud of me. lol And don’t be afraid to visit my posting of the image right HERE! I hope to color more Bu pics someday! Thanks for visiting today, I shall be back! *flees*
’90s-Bu holds a very special place in my heart. <3 It’s the hair.
You’ll grasp the art of shading, I know you will! :)
XD I know 90s Bu is your special baby. Retro OCs for the win.
I’ll keep trying shading. Fo’Sho’ :3
You really have to let Neo have more fun with your boy some day. That image is great and you did a sweet job on the coloring.
He did do good. Maybe someday next year he will!? Depends on price. :3
I am glad the coloring is good. XD I needed (and still need) some work though.
