finished Avengers fanart: Black Widow & Hawkeye, in action

[astridv]

Finished the coloring. Didn't screw it up. :)
But dammit, my scanner sucks up a lot of color. I have to run my scans through a dozen filters to get them to look close to the originals.

For a prompt by lar_laughs: Hawkeye up high, his bow at the ready, watching Natasha taking a swing at a bad guy.
Rating: PG; Medium: pencil, inks, acrylics

I really like it! Natasha's pose is awesome - I see this moment of anticipation and the action that'll follow in a second. Cool!

[astridv]

Glad you like it. :)

Love it! her stance, the knife, the facial expression...

[astridv]

Thank you!

That's really gorgeous--I love the poses and the way that the red hues fade back to the cooler green-blues of the backdrop.

[astridv]

Yeah, I'm happy with the colors. Glad you like it.

Very cool. The colors turned out well and I like the triangles in the composition. Also the tense moment you picked before the fighting will start or resume.

[astridv]

Thanks!

Also the tense moment you picked before the fighting will start or resume.

Heh. My specialty seems to be the moment right before or right after the fighting. I've tried to do scenes right in the middle of it but somehow I always find the best dramatic moment in scenes like this. It's tricky to freeze an action-filled moment and still keep the sense of motion. It's easier if you have an entire sequence of panels like in a comic.

Ooh, this is really great!

[astridv]

Thank you!

This looks amazing. The colors, the pose, the details, wonderful.

[astridv]

Thanks :)

This is really good! I love how Natasha is just waiting for the bad guy, with that slight smile on her face, and Clint's got her back.

I'm glad you like it, thanks.
