Week 8: AC vs. DC!!!


Thomas Alva Edison scientist and MADMAN, but it's not entirely his fault. Mad Scientist Disorder as we've seen with the immortal Ben Franklin comes with the profession. Any level of success in the super sciences plus a bend toward the prolific could only lead to nefarious work. Luckily there are warning signs: 1) Publishing an Almanac under a pseudonym. 2) Nap invention. 3) Creating instruments out of tableware. 4) Invention of a talking to the dead machine. If you see anyone exhibiting any of these behaviors contact local authorities and together we can rid the world of the scourge of Mad Science!
Nothing too fancy about this technique this week, just mechanical pencil and Photoshop. Hope you enjoy.

Week 8: Benjamin Franklin Takes His Revenge!

I'm sure we can all agree that if Benjamin Franklin lived an extra 300 years, that he would eventually use his abilities for evil.  That is why I present to you, what I feel, is a pretty accurate representation of The Franklin.  Hell bent on vengeance and armed with electric gauntlets and super electric fly boots (of Evil), he leaves no survivors.

Sketched on paper, inked in Sketchbook Pro, colored in Photoshop.  Found some success in worker at a much higher resolution and in Sketchbook Pro and discovering the "rotate canvas" feature while watching a tutorial from the Paper Wings Podcast.

See the original sketch (loosely scrawled on a legal pad) at my blog: Still-Reaching.
