I use canvas board...and believe it or not, it's the cheap stuff from Wal-Mart. It's really served me well and costs a quarter of the expensive stuff. My paints are those little bottles of Folk Art acrylics you can get at Jo-Ann's or Michaels. The colors are very vivid, they cover really well, and at $1.29 a bottle you can't beat them. I prefer liquid acrylics to those thick ones in the tube. All Electro's effects will be done by hand. I don't have an airbrush...tried it once, couldn't get the hang of it.

Electro, Rhino, and Scorpion were always my favorites....also due to the 60s cartoon."The farther we go, the more the ultimate explanation recedes from us, and all we have left is faith."

Wow! That's looking AMAZING, enyawd! I can't wait to see the finished piece! Are you going to grace it with the classic AMS logo, as well?sigpic Oh then, what's this? Big flashy lighty thing, that's what brought me here! Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually. But give me time. And a crayon.Comment

Cant wait. It does look like a Romita cover and thats a very high compliment. I would have to do something a little more simple, lol.
This is one of the painted covers I remember most from back in the day: Amazon.com: Marvel Graphic Novel #46 The Amazing Spider-Man: Parallel Lives (9780871355737): Gerry Conway, Alex Saviuk, Andy Mushynsky, Bob Sharen: Books
Ive always wondered why the MM didnt have a fan art section. Do you think it would be a good idea?Comment

Man, that's is just coming out so sweet and I agree, I love the liquid acrylics far better than the tubes.... the paint is easier to handle and it just flows...I echo the same sentiment. you do have a Romita paint style at least in this one it's showing it....again I applaud you for keeping it real, that's a true artist in my book.....Comment

Day four progress...the face of Electro!
Well, this is probably the last WIP I'll be posting...I'm gonna try to finish it over the weekend...I also adjusted the settings on my scanner so the colors are more accurate now to the actual painting.
