In the meantime, I'll say that it's a mix of Google Earth, Street View, and various supplementary references from around the web. The initial stage requires lightboxing, including perspective guides that I construct in Photoshop.<br /><br />Hope to have more for you soon!Paolo Riverahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11088106827920011644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8959702978311327862.post-84293040423426736212010-08-21T01:55:44.826-07:002010-08-21T01:55:44.826-07:00Have to say I love your blog.

So great job on that.<br /><br />I was wondering if you lightbox the entire background from reference photos. If so, do you lay in the background and then erase the area with Spidey and put him in? I'm really curious on the process you used for this page.<br /><br />Thanks again for all your hard work and keeping a great blog up.David VanDykehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13580025620286936967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8959702978311327862.post-50501590819284919042010-08-19T20:51:51.968-07:002010-08-19T20:51:51.968-07:00Your work is gorgeous!Your work is gorgeous!Angelusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8959702978311327862.post-42944520419802882932010-08-18T12:00:36.651-07:002010-08-18T12:00:36.651-07:00Thanks, Alejandro!Thanks, Alejandro!Paolo Riverahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11088106827920011644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8959702978311327862.post-22396366710276918662010-08-18T08:17:25.616-07:002010-08-18T08:17:25.616-07:00This page is awesomenessThis page is awesomenessFrame Theoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03849580271010125949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8959702978311327862.post-2074936320695053572010-08-17T18:02:25.097-07:002010-08-17T18:02:25.097-07:00Mike (Lawrence), thank you so much.

But I knew color would help as well.<br /><br />Mark, thanks! It was a pleasure meeting you in San Diego and I hope our paths cross again soon.<br /><br />Mike (Maher), you should've said something — it was all sitting right there! Thanks for stopping by, though.<br /><br />Narco, here's your hourly breakdown:<br />Layout: 3.5<br />Digital Composite: 1.75<br />Lightbox Transfer: .75<br />Pencils: 17<br />Inks: 15.75<br />Colors: 6.5<br /><br />For a grand total of... 45.25 hours (which doesn't include Orpheus' flatting time) — basically half a week's work. That's why not every page looks like this!Paolo Riverahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11088106827920011644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8959702978311327862.post-55480658864356627692010-08-17T16:34:47.013-07:002010-08-17T16:34:47.013-07:00Great stuff Paolo.
