I like your B&W value studies. Do you usually start with those before doing a finished color version?

Armand Serrano said...

@ Jeremy: Yes if I have time. Always try to solve composition and values on a thumbnail before rendering. On some occasions when I'm on a crunch or the piece Ill do is similar to what I've done before, I'll go straight to color.

Yohann said...

Hey there, I'm an animation student studying in Auckland NZ and came across your blog from the character design site. One of our tutors is Louis Limaco and I wondered if he knew you. His face lit up when I inquired with him and said to say hi and ask how you were doing. Small world huh :)

Armand Serrano said...

Hey Yohann, Yes I do know Luis Limaco. We worked together on a number of Marvel TV series like XMen and Fantastic Four ages ago as layout artists. Please say hi to him for me, too I f you could email me his contact info, I would appreciate it. Thanks.
